I have tried to install the plyx/qlyx and have this problem: I followed Chapter 2 Putting the pieces in their places 1.Specifically: (a-e) 2.File formats (a) in trying to do (b): Similarly create a new file format qLyX, short name qlyx, extension lyx; none of the other check boxes or slots need to be filled. Click Apply. I was asked to reconfigure, which I did. However, I had lyx in the left/right view with the instructions what to do on the left and the new pLyX.lyx to the right. I probably made a mistake in not closing the left side before reconfiguring. When I restarted lyx, I got at the left upper menu line just below Datei (File ) and Bearbeiten two wheels with a black bar going through them. This happens with each new start of lyx with this warning on the terminal we@wolfgang:~$ Fontconfig warning: "/etc/fonts/conf.d/65-droid-sans- fonts.conf", line 103: Having multiple values in <test> isn't supported and may not work as expected Fontconfig warning: "/etc/fonts/conf.d/65-droid-sans-fonts.conf", line 138: Having multiple values in <test> isn't supported and may not work as expected LyXComm: Pipe /home/we/.lyx/lyxpipe.in already exists. If no other LyX program is active, please delete the pipe by hand and try again. However, there is no Pipe /home/we/.lyx/lyxpipe which I could delete. Note that the Fontconfig warnings I had before and didn't bother about them, because they do not seem to affect the working with LyX. How do I get rid of this? Do I have to install lyx anew? Andrew, perhaps a note about the reconfigure after the plyx creation before the qlyx creation would be good and a warning, to close first the second lyx file before reconfiguring, if this is indeed the reason for the error.
