I'm seeing a couple of issues with LyX 1.5.1 on XUbuntu 7.10 (Gutsy)
that I don't have a solution for... The package is from the Ubuntu
repositories. The two issues are:
(1) It appears to be really slow when trying to scroll text on the
screen.
It's not horrible, but its not as fast as the 1.4.x series.
Try 1.5.3. Some work has been done on scrolling, and a LOT more is to
come in 1.6.
I would, but I don't see a .deb out there for it. (Either in the Ubuntu
repos, or on ftp.lyx.org) And I really don't want to compile from the
source... I've tried to install the 1.5.2 .deb, but keep getting the
message:
Failed to open the software package
The package might be corrupted or you are not allowed to open the
file. Check the permissions of the file.
I tried uninstalling the 1.5.1 package first, then installing the 1.52,
but get the same message. I've double checked the permissions, and they
are okay. and, I've downloaded it 3 times, each time the file sizes are
identical, and the md5sum's are the same.
I just tried two more things: uninstalling 1.5.1 first. Still no luck.
Then I tried disabling AppArmor, still no luck. I've gone back to 1.5.1
for the moment (it actually works...just oddly).
(2) For some reason, I can go into a dialog once and only once per
session. For example, the preferences dialog, or the document
settings dialog. Basically, I can go in once, make changes, hit
apply, make more changes, hit apply, etc. But, as soon as I either
hit save or close, I can't go back into the dialog. Once I restart
LyX I can repeat the process.
Don't know about this one. CC'ing lyx-devel.
Yeah, this is the one that's *really* strange and baffling to me. I
should clarify: I don't have to open a document, and I don't have to
make any changes in the dialog for this to happen. I also tried
executing the dialog from the command buffer: dialog-show document /
preferences. Neither of those work either.
And, just so the dev guys see this: I've tried running LyX from a
terminal: there are no error messages.
