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).
Trouble Shooting
German UserGuide fails 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 Versions
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.
