Wolfgang,
I, too, use JabRef with LyX; it's great! I'm using JabRef-3.7

Thanks, Rich,
but Jabref-3.7 is the trouble. I have it installed already and used
it all the time, but it is not supporting medline any more, which I
used to use and need for fetching references from the web.

I apparently need Java 8 for it -JRE or JDK are offered, which
should go
in /opt. Which one is recommendable? None is given in synaptic.
And how do
I > unpack the JRE or JDK into /opt? Do I extract it first on my

I'm using openjdk-8u91_b14 on Slackware. I recommend it (or
Oracle's Java
JDK) over the limited JRE version as it gives you more
capabilities and
storage space is generally not an issue.
How do I install jabref-3.7? Unpacking it gives me a lot of
folders/files,
but I can't find a help||
I don't know Debian or its derivatives, so I suggest that you go
to the
download Web page <https://www.fosshub.com/JabRef.html>, select
the second
option, "Download JabRef Platform independent runnable JAR," and
deposit the
download in /opt/. You'll have /opt/JabRef-3.7.jar.
To run it, I have a simple shell script (called jabref.sh):
#!/bin/bash
cd /opt/JabRef/
java -jar JabRef-3.7.jar
cd
No muss, no bother.
HTH,

I guess the problem I encounter has to do with these first lines
from the script Paul pointed out. I checked the /etc/apt/sources.list
echo "deb http://ppa.launchpad.net/webupd8team/java/ubuntu xenial
main" | tee /etc/apt/sources.list.d/webupd8team-java.list
echo "deb-src http://ppa.launchpad.net/webupd8team/java/ubuntu
xenial main" | tee -a /etc/apt/sources.list.d/webupd8team-java.list
but there is listed also sources.list.d (see NOTE below) which
contains the files
lyx-devel-release-jessie.list
with:
deb http://ppa.launchpad.net/lyx-devel/release/ubuntu/ jessie main
# deb-src http://ppa.launchpad.net/lyx-devel/release/ubuntu/ jessie main
and
webupd8team-java.list
with
deb http://ppa.launchpad.net/webupd8team/java/ubuntu xenial main
deb-src http://ppa.launchpad.net/webupd8team/java/ubuntu xenial main
NOTE:
The function of the |/etc/apt/sources.list.d| directory is as follows:
Using the directory you can easily add new repositories w/o the need
to edit the central |/etc/apt/sources.list| file. I.e. you can just
put a file with a unique name and the same format as
|/etc/apt/sources.list| into this folder and it is used by apt. In
order to remove this source again you can just remove that specific
file w/o the need for handling side effects, parsing or mangling
with |/etc/apt/sources.list|. It's mainly for scripts or other
packages to put their repositories there automatically - if you
manually add repositories you could add them to
|/etc/apt/sources.list| manually.
My QUESTION: should the script work with the infos in the two files in
sources.list.d?
Wolfgang
Wolfgang,
The webupd8team-java.list looks okay provided that you are either
running Ubuntu Xenial (or a distribution built on that) or Debian
Stretch (which is apparently the Debian version upon which Xenial is
based). If, as the LyX list suggests, you're running Debian Jessie,
then I think you need a webupd8team archive based on one of the
following Ubuntu versions: Trusty; Utopic; Vivid; or Wily.
Paul
I am running Debian Jessie. So I should have used
lyx-devel-release-jessie.list
with:
deb http://ppa.launchpad.net/lyx-devel/release/ubuntu/ jessie main
# deb-src http://ppa.launchpad.net/lyx-devel/release/ubuntu/ jessie main
and not
webupd8team-java.list
with
deb http://ppa.launchpad.net/webupd8team/java/ubuntu xenial main
deb-src http://ppa.launchpad.net/webupd8team/java/ubuntu xenial main
??
Wolfgang
I'm not sure about the LyX PPA. If you got a version of LyX that works,
I guess I would leave it alone. I would have thought you would need to
specify an Ubuntu version, such as
deb http://ppa.launchpad.net/lyx-devel/release/ubuntu/ trusty main
or one of the other Ubuntu versions derived from Jessie.
For the webupd8team-java.list entry, I would change "xenial" to "wily"
in both lines and see if that helps. If any of the webupd8-java packages
installed before you got the abort, you probably should uninstall them
through Synaptic or apt, then (after fixing the .list file) update and
try installing the two packages from the webupd8team PPA.
