No, it is not. It is possible we will see in in the 2.2.x series.

I'd be careful with that; it might remove the wrong version (or nothing). If
you have Synaptic installed, I'd recommend opening that, searching for
installed packages containing 'lyx' in the their name, and see if you can
identify the "latestdev" version. If so, you can mark it for deletion. If
you don't have Synaptic, you can run "dpkg-query -s lyx" in a terminal.
Scroll down to the "Version:" line and see if it is indicating
lyx-latestdev. If so, your command should work; but if it identifies a
different version, try "dpkg-query -l lyx-latestdev" to see if it's instaled
with that package name.

Re: License on TeX-Gyre-Schola embedded in document??

Hi all,

I'd like to use TeX-Gyre-Schola, because it's very legible on the
screen, and it *seems* to be allowable to embed it in a PDF without
anyone needing to pay anyone else. Here's the license info I found:

License, which incorporates LaTeX Public License:
https://www.fontsquirrel.com/license/TeX-Gyre-Schola

LaTeX Public License: https://latex-project.org/lppl/lppl-1-3c.txt

Regarding the LPL, I've been unable to find a legal definition of
"Derived Work" that I could understand, so I don't know if my book,
which I will sell as a PDF file, is "derived" from TeX-Gyre-Schola, or
whether it simply includes a copy of TeX-Gyre-Schola. Also, it doesn't
include ALL of TeX-Gyre-Schola, so I don't know whether *that's*
violating the license.

Anyone know whom I could ask regarding these things?



Your work is not "Derived Work" as you're not distributing 
TeX-Steve-Schola (Steve, as in Steve Litt) as a new font derived from 
TeX-Gyre-Schola. Your work if in PDF (that is, computer) format is, at 
most, a "Compiled Work".


Thus
3.  You may distribute a Compiled Work that has been generated from a
complete, unmodified copy of the Work as distributed under Clause 2
above, as long as that Compiled Work is distributed in such a way that
the recipients may install the Compiled Work on their system exactly
as it would have been installed if they generated a Compiled Work
directly from the Work.

Notice, this is *may*, not *must*. That means you don't have to 
distribute your work as a PDF file, but if you choose to, your work 
compiled with TeX-Gyre-Schola should contain the exact copy of 
TeX-Gyre-Schola, not some modified private version with the same name.




If you print the book, you're in no way distributing the font itself 
(font is a computer program, right?), just its version compiled for 
600dpi printer. In that sense:

"Activities other than distribution and/or modification of the Work
are not covered by this license; they are outside its scope.


If unsure, you can ask the authors of the font for their explicit statement.

Ah. One of the downsides of SWP is that tables, figures + lengthy equations

so it is difficult to edit equations and tables at times.

Hi Bernt!

I replied to the general list because I think that your message will
meet a wider audience there.

Hi LyX!

I have a question on the LyX user interface, then some
wishes/questions. (I used FrameMaker 1989-1991, LaTeX/emacs
1992-1994, and Scientific WorkPlace 1994-now.)

*Question*: I use Windows 10 on a Dell XPS 13 inch laptop (owned by
employer). I also own a MS Surface Pro 4 privately.

·Both the Dell and the Surface Pro are **high resolution** laptops.

·The menus/icons in LyX are so small that they are **almost**
unreadable.

·Is there a way to switch to a “large icon/text” mode for the user
interface?


LyX 2.2 on Windows is compatible with Hi-DPI screens. To change the size
of icons you can do that from the contextual menu of the tool bars
(right click).



*Question/Wishes*: I like your (partial) support for /literal
programming/. I used Mathematica ca. 1990-1992, and Maple 1992-2000 –
these have some Notebook features. I have also used Scientific
WorkPlace (first Maple, and then MuPad from 1994-now). I also used
Framemaker 1989-1991, which had some built-in symbolic computation
support. Nowadays, there is more interest in “Freeware” in academia.

·I’m moving into Python etc. + Jupyter (Jupyter notebooks support a
large number of languages, starting with Julia, Python and R, and
expanding).

·Any chance of LyX to allow **import** of Jupyter notebooks? Here,

·Any chance of LyX supporting **live** Jupyter notebooks?


No clue about this one.



*Questions/Wishes:* One of the things I really liked with
FrameMaker, was a good built-in /drawing tool/, which allowed me to
insert math into drawings. The drawing tools were not fancy, but
coverend what I needed. Today, I use MS Visio. I essentially use the
same features as in FrameMaker Draw, but with the addition of Layers.
I make physics/engineering type drawings, e.g. velocity profiles in
pipes, tanks with liquid levels, mixers, etc.


I highly recommend Inkscape with the textext plugin. I hope it is
available on Windows. Textext lets you write latex into your drawing.
Then LyX lets you incorporate the resulting svg and converts it into pdf
flawlessly.


*Final comments*: I tested LyX some 10 years ago, but switched back
to SWP due to its efficient math editor. Some things I hope work
better in LyX are:



(i) smooth scrolling of math, figures, tables,


What do you meant with this?


(ii) easier use of specialized classes/styles for conferences and
journals,


Possible, but still painful depending on how far the class is from a
standard one.


(iii) better support of color, minipages, etc,


LyX has that, but I do not know how it compares. But also, the custom
layout mechanism would let you define your own style and insets, so it
is possible to invest into LyX and adapt it to your own way of doing things.


(iv) better support of program listing, large tables, insertion of
pdf files from other sources, etc.


LyX has all that.

Guillaume

Dear Kornel,
with your help I have a functioning TL GUI installation.
The active GUI can be called as user from Konsole, which is what I was
heading for.

However, editing of the GUI became  possible  only after giving write
permission to 'tlpkg' in
   /usr/bin/texlive/2016/tlpkg
I presume that was a necessary change to do ?!

Weird, you only need execute and read permissions.
Yes, but then I can fully edit TL's GUI as a *USER* - so does it not 
make sense?

I find two installations:
/usr/bin/texlive/2016/bin/x86_64-linux (413 items)
and
/usr/local/texlive/2016/bin/x86_64-linux (413 items)

This one looks OK.


Both are of the same structure and size (139,5 MiB) and both have
'tlmgr' in /x86:64-linux.

Settings of PATH in '.bash_profile':
PATH=/usr/local/texlive/2016/bin/x86_64-linux:$PATH; export PATH
(INFOPATH and MANPATH are set accordingly)

My core question is now:
Do I have to keep both installations as they are or should/could I
remove one (for reason of saving space) without loosing functionality ?

I don’t have  /usr/bin/texlive/2016, so I suppose you have eventually installed 
it there too in some
previous try.


Which of the two could/should possibly be removed and if so, how to
safely do that?


Try to *rename*  /usr/bin/texlive/2016 to  /usr/bin/texlive/.
If everything still works, you may remove /usr/bin/texlive/.
I renamed  /.../texlive/2016  to /.../texlive/ and find that I can 
call 'tlmgr gui' as user just as before and edit it (e.g. update, change 
mirror etc.)


Would it suffice to do:
rm -rf  /usr/bin/texlive/
?
Please advise.

Thanks and cheers,
Michael

The two former pairs are on the  SSD of my PC, the last two at my 2 TB

I'm not sure. It might have something to do with doxygen (code documentation
system for C++), or it might be related to oxygen (which has something to do
with generating/editing XML files), or it could be neither of the above.


lyx22 starts Lyx-2.2.0
lyx-latestdev  starts the Lyx-2.2.0rc1
and there is furthermore a  lyxclient22 which gives me
Connected to /tmp/lyx_tmpdir.iOKTQylh1468/lyxsocket
and a lyxclient-latestdev which gives me
lyxclient: Connected to /tmp/lyx_tmpdir.iOKTQylh1468/lyxsocket
No idea what this is for.

There's a server version of LyX (documented on the wiki) that can take
commands from a program or script (or you typing in a terminal) and execute
them using LyX. The lyxclient program is, I think, the command line/terminal
client provided with LyX. I've never used the server version, so I don't
know any more than that.
