Arch Linux User Repository

Important note: Is recommended to receive the following key before to install:

$ gpg --recv-keys DE7A44FAC7FB382D

Also is possible skip the verification, adding the flag for (e.g makepkg, yay) --skippgpcheck, --nopgpfetch, respectively.

There seems to be some problem with the signatures on 2.5.2:

==> Validating source files with sha512sums... lyx-2.5.2.tar.xz ... Passed lyx-2.5.2.tar.xz.sig ... Skipped lyxrc.dist ... Passed ==> Verifying source file signatures with gpg... lyx-2.5.2.tar.xz ... SIGNATURE NOT FOUND FAILED ==> ERROR: One or more PGP signatures could not be verified! error: failed to download sources for 'lyx-2.5.2-1': error: packages failed to build: lyx-2.5.2-1

paru has been failing to download the tarball since 2.5.1 was released. Same with wget, which copies about 48K of the file and then hangs. Also, why is paru trying to get a tarball instead of cloning the repo?

UPDATE: I downloaded from a mirror at https://mirrors.ocf.berkeley.edu/lyx/stable/2.5.x/lyx-2.5.1.tar.xz and inserted the file and the sig in my paru cache. That works around the problem for me. (According to somebody on the lyx users list, the lip6.fr site is known to have download problems for some users.)

Hi folks, please let me know if with this latest version appears glitches over GNOME enviroment, in order to apply this patch. Many thanks.

Resolved whith version LyX 2.4.4-2 but still with some errors for several CXX components during the installation process.

I am trying to install LyX 2.4.4-1 with the command yay -S lyx. Before proceeding with this installation, I received the gpg key for LyX.

My computer runs on the Arch Linux operating system, version 6.17.7-arch1-1.

During the process I am getting errors on three CXX components: lyxtime.o, GuiAbout.o, and GuiSymbols.o (see below). At the end,the process fails and LyX 2.4.4-1 does not install.

How can I fix this problem?

Messages at the end of the process

Please implement this patch https://codeberg.org/LyX-org/lyx/commit/e98b6ad533360500528b48043e20c79f5cb67b07 to fix compilation with Qt6.10

I'm getting errors about qstring.h when compiling. This seems to be new as I have previous versions that compiled fine. Has QT changed something?

Thank you very much, @carlosal1015, @Asuranceturix, and @Xavier. I have built the package correctly after the new revision published by @carlosal1015.

@mluque: You don't have to keep trying anymore: the maintainer, @carlosal1015, has published a new revision of the package including the patch (thanks!), you should be able to build it now.

@Xavier: Of course it is up to the maintainers to make changes to the AUR-published packages. However, I am not aware of any rule that says that I cannot modify a published AUR package for my own use, or discuss such modifications with other fellow users, as long as we don't complain to the maintainer about possible problems stemming from our (unsanctioned) modifications. Sometimes, with less-responsive maintainers (which is absolutely not the case here), it is the only way to keep things going. :)

@mluque and @Asuranceturix It is up to the maintainers to patch the package so it compiles correctly with the Arch Linux library versions.

Thank you very much, @Asuranceturix. I have tried several times, but it always ends up giving me an error. Probably Arch is not for me.
