Introduction

LyX is a WHYSIWYM (what you see is what you mean) Texteditor. This article not for introducing this superb wordprocessor for the LaTeX programming language, but for documententation of common solutions around running on linux operting system (mainly ubuntu).

Lyx Versions

LyX 1.5.3

German UserGuide with pdflatex

There are [problems with the lack of the package lmodern (latin modern) in ubuntu, causing to fail pdflatex with teh error:

! Package textcomp Error: Symbol \textcurrency not provided by

See

Solution for ubuntu:

sudo apt-get install lmodern

LyX 1.5.4

Debian Repositories

Lyx 1.5.x can be found here:

deb http://download.tuxfamily.org/emiscabpo/lyx15-bpo ./
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install lyx-common lyx

Docbook

Docbook, Lyx and Ubuntu / Debian

To be able to use the default templates provides by lyx it is necessary to install the package sgmlutils-lite.

To be able to view and produce DVI / Postscript output you need the docbook-utils package.

sudo apt-get install sgmlutils-lite docbook-utils

So I was able to use the lyx-template docbook_article that brings very limited support for editing documents.
