Not Able To Use External Monitor with Laptop

Hi, all, I'm having an odd problem. On two of my laptops, on which I've just done fresh installs, I cannot get the external monitor to work. Using either the XFCE display configuration tool, it shows up, but it's marked as 'disabled'. I do not seem to have the usual such tool under KDE, which

Very Weird Video Problem: SOLVED

I'm posting this just because it was so weird, in the hopes that maybe it helps someone somewhere down the road. Earlier today, videos embedded in web pages just stopped playing on my laptop. E.g., if I go to YouTube and click on any video at all, it won't start. Or, better, the ad won't. It

OT: XML Libraries (For Possible Use in LyX Code)

Hi, all, Over at the LyX development team, we've been working on DocBook support (mostly new contributor Thibaut Cuvelier has) and are looking into the idea of abandoning our home-brewed tag-writing routines in favor of an XML reading and writing library. I know there are a lot of these and am

QtCreator on F29

Since upgrading to Fedora 29 (yes, I tend to be a bit behind), I've been having problems using QtCreator as I always have to work on LyX. Specifically, QtCreator fails to find a lot of included files, with the result that there are gazillions of 'parse errors' displayed in the editor. For example,
