Dear LyX-Users, I am on Ubuntu Linux. If I run lyx from a terminal, then along with the LyX window I get a terminal where I can see what LyX is thinking when it generates PDFs, etc. This is a very useful debugging tool, but I only need it a relatively small fraction of the time I am using LyX.
On the other hand, I can never predict when I am going to need it. And if I run LyX from the Desktop icon, say, then I don't get the terminal showing LyX's thought processes. If I get to someplace where I need the terminal (especially when I am doing something with Sweave), the only solution I have found is to close LyX and open it up again with a terminal. Is there some Linux trick, where I can open LyX, say, from the Desktop without a terminal, but on-the-fly open up a terminal (or is there even some other mechanism) to see what LyX is thinking? Thanks for any help you may have, Jay -- *************************************************** G.
