Issue trying to insert symbols on Math Equations

Post by PEMAMETAL »

I made a video. Does anyone have ever had this problem? Please help.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LtZ56Hl ... e=youtu.be

I am using El Capitan Beta with the SIP disabled, don't know if there is something to do with it.

Recommended reading 2024:

LaTeXguide.org • LaTeX-Cookbook.net • TikZ.org

NEW: TikZ book now 40% off at Amazon.com for a short time.

And: Currently, Packt sells ebooks for $4.99 each if you buy 5 of their over 1000 ebooks. If you choose only a single one, $9.99. How about combining 3 LaTeX books with Python, gnuplot, mathplotlib, Matlab, ChatGPT or other AI books? Epub and PDF. Bundle (3 books, add more for higher discount): https://packt.link/MDH5p

I have never seen this on Ubuntu, but we have had several reports of this on the lyx-users mailing list. Hopefully a solution is found soon.

I have the same problem as the one showed in the video.

I tried an older version like 2.1.3 and the menus were working normally (however, I have note been able to compile any document since I got an error message about a tmp directory not being there...).

Has anybody found a solution? I am using version 2.1.4 on El Capitan 10.11.1.

Thanks!

This has been reported at the following bug:
http://www.lyx.org/trac/ticket/9824

It will be fixed for LyX 2.2.0. If you like to live dangerously (and I mean this seriously) and/or you would like to help us improve the LyX 2.2.0, we would be interested in your feedback if you want to test LyX 2.2.0alpha2 which was just released. You can download it here:
ftp://ftp.lyx.org/pub/lyx/devel/lyx-2.2 ... -cocoa.dmg
