Software :: Install LYX Without The 700mb+ Of Dependencies?
Jun 20, 2010
I tried to install Lyx today, but because of the massive overhead I decided to install it without its 'recommended' packages. From previous experience some of these packages were just the same font in different sizes that rendered font selected in other word processing applications tiresome as I scrolled through the list.
Code:
apt-get install lyx --no-install-recommends
Only 8mb of disk space was needed! But at a cost.
Although AFAIK as a user that has only spent fives minutes at LYX ( 4 of which gawking at how easy it is to write mathematical symbols in ) the segment that does not work is the 'rendering' where I cannot export as dvi, pdf etc.
When I open a document, I get this error:
Quote:
The layout file requested by this document, article.layout is not usable. This is probably because a LaTeX class or style file required by it is not available. See the Customization documentation for more information. LyX will not be able to produce output.
What packages are absolutely necessary for LyX to work at a bare minimum? My monthly Internet usage is capped, and 700mb is a massive blow to it.
By the way, the documentation it recommends me to read ( 'Customisation' ) contains information applicable to creating new layouts and/or why I do not have someone else's layout that this document requires. It is obvious however that 'article.layout' is a standard component, and is probably inside on of the many recommended packages.
The download of recommended packages is ~ 400mb, but once extracted is ~700mb. That is still a large download for my internet connection currently.
Code:
The following NEW packages will be installed:
dvipng lacheck latex-beamer latex-xcolor libt1-5 lmodern luatex lyx pgf
preview-latex-style prosper ps2eps psutils texlive-base texlive-binaries
texlive-common texlive-doc-base texlive-extra-utils texlive-font-utils
texlive-fonts-recommended texlive-fonts-recommended-doc
Been using 11.4 for the last few days and I think I might really like it. Thought getting my Broadcom wireless to work would be the hard part but I'm having real trouble with USB transfers for some reason. Tried to copy a 700MB .avi to a USB stick yesterday, I know it's good as I use it regularly. I get the KDE notification that it has copied the file (seemed far too quick but didn't think much of it) and then went to watch it.
Didn't show up on my telly and when I stuck it back in the computer to check it had only copied an arbitrary 39MB of the file. Tried again this morning, copying three albums to my phone - I get the notification that copying files has been completed almost instantly, I let it sit for five minutes and of the three albums one track has been transferred. It's an Android phone so I can use a file browser to confirm they are there, but they're all 0 bytes in size.
I am attempting to burn the ISO for Lucid Lynx final onto a 700MB CD. The ISO file is 699MB, but Windows reports that the size on disk is 733MB and thus CD Burner XP refuses to burn the file, stating that it's too large for a CD.
Why this discrepancy on file sizes? I've noticed this with other files as well, suddenly it's a bit of a problem, as you can see!
would anyone know how to solve this problem im having.I copied some files from a normal cd then tried to burn them to another cd the same size but it says the new cd is to small by 24mb which i could`nt workout then, how they fitted on the original.Have the original files been compressed some how?If so how would i do the same to fit them on the new cd?
I want to make a live CD for ubuntu, but upon getting the .ISO I found that the .ISO was 709MB, and my disc is 700MB. How could I precede in making this live CD? If I use some sort of over burning software, will the live CD work, and please recommend a software to do so if it does indeed work.
I downloaded a file that was 40mb compressed and was almost 700mb when fully extracted. It was inside a .rar file that in turn was inside another .rar file. How can this be done in Ubuntu? Can this also be done with .zip and .7z files?
I have a problem that I can't seem to fix.When I try to transfer a large file lets say 700Mb or so my wireless shuts down and i have to restart my ubuntu computer the other computer is vista.ubuntu is on a wusb54gver4 and vista is going through a wrt54g tm running dd-wrt mega.I have tried every thing i know with no luck.
I'm looking for a way to install kdebase 4.7 with no additional dependencies. My target is home desktop and I only want these : kdm, plasma, ark, dolphin, kdesu, konsole, okteta, kwrite, kate, kmix, ksnapshot. There are things I don't use but they get installed anyway and break kdm if removed. These things are : akonadi, strigi, nepomuk, virtuoso, kfind, kgreeter and a couple of others, including libqtzeitgeist0 and PIM in general. Also I don't want kdm 4.7 features hence I use kdm3 as a login manager. Is there a 4.7 build that doesn't mind the removal of so called base components? If not, is there a 4.4 repo for 11.4?
I'm using Debian Stable and I followed the instructions from Debian Mozilla team [URL] on how to install the latest stable version of Iceweasel, but after I try to upgrade Iceweasel from Synaptic, it returns the following error message: Could not mark all packages for installation or upgrade The following packages have unresolvable dependencies. Make sure that all required repositories are added and enabled in the preferences.
Iceweasel:

When I run the rpm package to install mediainfo software I get this warning: mediainfo-gui-0.7.33-1.i386.Fedora_12.rpm: Header V3 DSA signature: NOKEY, key ID dfb2ef23

Does anyone know how I can install the following dependencies? libcrypto.so.0.9.7 is needed by amanda-backup_client-3.2.0-1.suse10.0.i586 libcurl.so.3 is needed by amanda-backup_client-3.2.0-1.suse10.0.i586 libssl.so.0.9.7 is needed by amanda-backup_client-3.2.0-1.suse10.0.i586 I tried through yast with no luck.
Is there any way to make this: sudo dpkg -i *.deb Also install dependencies for a deb file in the same way as GDebi does? Basically I have the above in a script, which I can right click in any folder and have it automatically install all debs in it. So much easier and quicker than using GDebi for each one. However, as of now, it doesn't seem to be installing dependencies, and causes broken packages.
I am using Ubuntu to develop for an embedded ARM device that has a minimal linux kernel installation on it. I have cross-compiled individual programs before for the target system, but now I have entered the realm where I need to install a package on the ARM system.
I have done this easily using apt-get on a Beagleboard that had an Xubuntu installation, but I am now working with a minimal install that does not have apt. My question is, is there a simple way to install apt (and its dependencies) on my ARM target?
I am trying to install sysstat-5.0.5-1.x86_64 rpm, but thats needs to install dependencies libc.so.6... For details I have attached the screenshot. No yum is configured there.
I've recently got this error coming up when I try to install things via yum through the terminal. It happens when I try to install *anything* at all. I'm running 32bit Fedora 14, although my laptop is 64 bit.
I think the error may have occurred a while back when trying to upgrade to fedora 15 running 64 bit, although I'm not sure exactly what I did then

I have tried running "rpm -Va --nofiles --nodigest" and I just get this error again.
I was able to do this before but, I can't remember where I found the link.I think is was a script or something. It would get all the files that the .Deb will need and make an installer.
P.S. I have Ubuntu 64-bit the PC that need the install is a 32-bit both are 10.04.
I'm running Kubuntu 10.10 and am trying to change my bootscreen so I installed StartUp-Manager and then I tried to install usplash, but I get this error which makes me slightly confused:

Previously apt-get has been happy to install dependencies. I'm new to Linux so if you need any more information just shout and I'll edit that in.

Been attempting to upgrade the PHP version to a VPS on Blacknight Ireland hosting (Blacknight Hosting) but am having trouble trying to install the yum package on CentOS 5.5. I've downloaded a suitable yum installer from the hosting companies own downloads site (which you'd presume would work with their CentOS version), uploaded and attempted to run. However, it fails with the following output:

Been reading from various sources through Google searches that these should already be preinstalled with CentOS? Can anyone point me in the right direction to get these?
How do I make apt-get not install dependencies? For example, I wanted to install mailx but it also installs exim4 and others. I just want mailx and nothing else. How do I do this?
I have been using linux for about a year and have run into a new problem I am unable to solve. It started when I attempted to install some packages I needed to get VirtualBox to run VMs. I am on Jessie.
I am unable to install various packages, including gedit, aptitude etc. I do not think it is a problem with my sources.list as my laptop has the same sources.list and I am not encountering the same problems on it. Packages will not install any dependencies. -f install isn't doing anything for me.
My sources.list...
