The command is simply: sudo locale-gen de_DE and german umlauts will work. With respect to the packages on ftp.lyx.org and on the wiki it is best to install them with sudo dpkg -i *.deb But before, install lyx from the dapper repositories once to have all the dependencies and thereafter remove the old version completely with sudo apt-get remove --purge lyx lyx-qt lyx-common Unfortunately, backports from edgy are not possible at the moment due to build-dependendency issues. phil
