Under root it runs without problems. Would it help if I create a new user and try it there until I have solved the (non-Lyx) issue under my current Home (or Homes)? By the way, the completion of a name does also work under root. Wolfgang

This could be very bad. I don't know enough to have any advice on solving the main problem you're experiencing. If you are really only concerned about LyX (you should be concerned about more, IMO), you could try running LyX as root to see if it has the same problem. Scott

I wonder whether it has to do with the fact that I have a harddisk in my PC which contains the debian system and a harddisk which contains my data and backups If I open a terminal for this harddisk: wolfgang@wolfgang:/home$ and a ls -l shows among others drwx rwx rwx for wolfgang wolfgang may be lyx is as confused as I am to find the correct /tmp on this second harddisk? I noticed also that I can't complete a name with the <-- --> key e.g. cd w (I press the right/left arrow key tio get wolfgang) gives me cd wbash: cannot create temp file for here-document: no permission I am not sure whether this has to do with the issue above. I am sorry to bother you with this off topic issue, but it hinders me to use Lyx at the moment. Any suggestions/proposals are very welcome and appreciated Wolfgang

This does not look correct. What are the permissions of your /tmp directory? Can you show both the command you use to get permissions and the output? Note that I am no Debian expert but I wanted to give you some feedback since it's been almost 24h. Scott
