Stable is only for servers as package versions are ridiculously old. Anyway, I know how to recover, it's just the timing that's bad. Anyway in response to previous assumptions, I downgraded the qt4 packages to 4.3.4 instead of 4.4 rc whatever and lyx is working again, so this is definitely a compatibility issue between the lyx debian package and qt 4.4 debian packages.

I guess you've to roll back to 4.3.4-2. Confirmed. The state of Debian qt packages has people in a tizzy in thelast couple of days (the sidux forum, for example, generally suggestsnot to do dist-upgrades for a while until they figure out what's up). I was hit by this (but not affected greatly) because after a d-u,LyX 1.5.4 crashed rather consistently. However, downloading the v.1.6.0 from the svn repos and compiling it myself leads to a stableinstallation (though others have reported random crashes with thatavenue too). ____________________________________________________________________________________ Be a better friend, newshound, and know-it-all with Yahoo!
