On Ubuntu it seems to be in the texlive-latex-recommended [1] package.
Try locate to check if you have teh relevant file installed.

Hmm, then I'm not sure what's wrong. Maybe if you could post a _small_

Hi,
well thanks but I do not have any fancybox in my preamble; ill ive got is:
\usepackage{isomath}
\renewcommand{\vec}{\vectorsym}
Honestly, I'm not sure wha fancybox is (except from "box")!
besides, how do I install fancybox? is it the one in the
texlive-latex-recommended package?
Besides, besides Lyx & texlive-science, should or do you suggest any
packages for mathematical/technical (science) documents (mainly physics
doc's)?
Thanks

If you load 'fancybox' manually, check that there is nothing funny
with that line in the preamble. Also check that you have fancybox
installed on your computer.

fancybox
Hello,
I recently moved from Ubuntu 10.04 (LyX 2.0.3) to 12.04 (2.0.2).
I was working on a document on 10.04; trying to display the doc
(pdf,dvi, etc..) results in a LaTeX error:
\usepackage
{fancybox}^^M
*** (cannot \read from terminal in nonstop modes)
Could you please help solve this?
Thanks in advance

The asterix has no default meaning, it is up to the command itself how to interpret it. Not all commands interpret the asterix in a special way. In general, you have to check the command documentation. > What would be the best way of discovering what the asterisk would do in > this specific command?

Re: [Fwd: FancyBox - Shadowbox - Page Border]
Not at all. Just put an asterisk after \AddToShipoutPicture, i.e., use \AddToShipoutPicture* and only the first produced page will have the border. Regards, and I don't want to bother you, You're welcome. It Worked like a charm...Thanks Again :-) Does the asterisk have a special meaning?! Cause I know that with Part and Subsection the asterisk means that it will or will not be numbered parts or sections. What would be the best way of discovering what the asterisk would do in this specific command? (It is just for information, learn about LATEX and LYX). Marcelo

I don't think that is so uncommon, maybe you simply didn't think that
your problem was related to watermarks and didn't search for the right
thing.

It is a matter of using the right keywords. The following URL should help:
http://www.tex.ac.uk/cgi-bin/texfaq2html?label=watermark

Not at all. Just put an asterisk after \AddToShipoutPicture, i.e.,
use \AddToShipoutPicture* and only the first produced page will have
the border.
> Regards, and I don't want to bother you,
You're welcome.

Put the following lines in the preamble and adjust as needed.
\usepackage{eso-pic}
\newlength{\boxwidth}
\newlength{\boxheight}
\setlength{\boxwidth}{\paperwidth}
\setlength{\boxheight}{\paperheight}
\addtolength{\boxwidth}{-2cm}
\addtolength{\boxheight}{-2cm}
\AddToShipoutPicture{%
\setlengt...@tempdimb}{1cm}%
\setlengt...@tempdimc}{1cm}%
\put(\st...@pt\@tempdimb,\st...@pt\@tempdimc){%
\hbox{\fboxrule=3pt\fbox{\vbox to \boxheight{%
