Latex error with simplest possible lyx document - pdf

I've used lyx successfully to publish two books. But now, starting a new project after Ubuntu upgrade to 14.04. it is giving me grief.
My plan is to use memoir. Speced it in Document Settings Document Class. When I went to view my input in PDF I got an error:
LaTex Error: Command\footruleskip already defined.
So... I closed lyx, opened a fresh new instance, and entered the simplest possible document I could imagine:
The quick brown fox
..then selected View [PDF ...] and got the same error:
LaTex Error: Command\footruleskip already defined.
Note that this is with 100% default settings. I looked in LaTex source, but could not see the command referenced.
Can anyone tell me what I, or my lyx installation, are doing wrong and how to fix it?

How to fix: "The file is too large: __ , showing a read-only preview of the first: __" in Intellij IDEA?

I am trying to view a large file in Intellij IDEA, but I am coming across the error: "The file is too large: 30.1 MB, showing a read-only preview of the first 2.56 MB".
I have seen some previous answers to this question including:
IntelliJ can't display big file?
IntelliJ Idea 12 - Java file is too large for editor
The issue is that I cannot find a idea.max.intellisense.filesize or idea.max.content.load.filesize to edit.
When I click Help | Edit Custom Properties in Intellij, it says " File '~/Library/Preferences/IdeaC2018.3/idea.properties' does not exist. Create?"
When I create the file and add "idea.max.intellisense.filesize=2500" and "idea.max.content.load.filesize=20000", it has no effect. In fact, I am getting typo errors.
I have also seen https://intellij-support.jetbrains.com/hc/en-us/articles/206544869 , and I also have no IDE_HOME directory.
I am not sure how to approach from here, can anyone help?
Thanks.
Jet Brains added a good documentation for tuning IDE.
You need to set the parameter in the "idea.properties" file
idea.max.content.load.filesize=512000
See more here.
So my solution to the problem was correct. I just had to restart IntelliJ and then it started working.

Microsoft Access - Missing Reference to acrobat.tlb

I am working with a Microsoft Access database that was mostly completed in Access 2010, and now I am opening it on a new computer that has Access 2013.
Upon opening the program, it tells me,
"Microsoft Access database or project contains a missing or broken reference to the file 'acrobat.tlb' version 1.1."
I have done some research, and I know that I need to go into the VB code and go under tools->references. Now under here it lists the working references then says,
"MISSING: Adobe Acrobat 10.0 Type Library"
So now I understand, that I need to give it the reference to that .tlb file. I am good up to here, but whenever I try to browse I can never find this file. I just downloaded Adobe, so I know I have the most recent version.
I saw a couple places in my research that you can just uncheck the box and try compiling again. This however does not work for me. it needs this reference for several things I am doing.
Has anyone ever had this problem or have any guidance for me?
Thank you!
I'm not 100% on this, but loading Adobe by itself may not give you the library you are looking for. You could need the file which is located in the SDK (which happens to be free) adobe site. Try installing this, and see if you can navigate to the tlb.
SQL hound was right. To expand on what he suggested and be more specific for this issue for those with this problem in the future, you need to download the Acrobat DC SDK (not the air one). In InterappCommunicationSupport/Headers you will find acrobat.tlb.
I am using Access 2013 and Acrobat Pro version 11.0.
I have looked for the file "acrobat.tlb" on my drives.
Found it under: "C:\Program Files (x86)\Adobe\Acrobat 11.0\Acrobat"
In the Visual Basic Code "tools/references", I clicked "Browse" and went to the location I have found, selected the file and clicked OK.
Returning back to "tools/references", the "Adobe Acrobat 10.0 Type Library" is now available and selected.
I have run minimal code to open and show the number of pages of the opened "pdf" document and it returned the proper number of pages.
Just so you know:
I now remember that there was a selection called only "acrobat", it is now gone. Must have been caused by selecting manually the desired file.
Maybe that selection was pointing to the "acrobat.tlb" file.
You can see the full path and name of the file corresponding to the selected library name at the bottom of the reference window.
I had the same problem but I had a Missing reference to "...Adobe 9...Type Library..." I unchecked that and tryed with, "Acrobat Access 3.0 Type Library" futher down. Then it worked.

Why is Texmaker not refreshing the pdf?

I am changing a LaTeX document in Texmaker and apparently the pdf does not get updated and I don't know why. I have as quick Build pdflatex + view pdf.
I am using Texmaker version 4.4.1 in Windows 7.
Before I was using the same tex file in another version of Texmaker and it worked, but know that I am trying to change things in the new version it doesn't.
It doesn't matter what I change in the latex file, it won't show any errors or anything while compiling, and when finished there is no change in the pdf at all.
Do you know what could be the cause for this issue?
Thank you very much to everyone!

Have PDF-Creator suppress warning dialog not to halt build process

I have a msbuild script that includes creation of a few PDF's using PDF creator. It's the Convert2PDF.vbs that's being used, converting doc's to PDF's, and a while ago it stopped working and none seemed to take the time to fix it. So I looked into it and by debugging the script I found that it was in fact a document for which Word presented a dialog with information about contents being larger than the margins. This halted the entire thing since none could press this dialog during the auto-build.
So what I wonder is if there is a way to tell the PDF Creator script, via cmd line arguments or by altering the script, to suppress these kinds of warnings and just continue with conversion?
I solved this by creating a script in word that suppressed warnings if the given document resided within the build folder specified.

Squeak Win 7 Error: No content to install

So I decided to take a look at Smalltalk. Googling led me to Squeak and Squeak By Example. Squeak By Example tells me to drag the .image file onto the Squeak.exe icon. I do this and get an error:
"Error: No content to install"
If I load squeak.exe by itself, no error message occurs. I assume this is because it uses the image file that was included in the download from squeak.org instead of the on I'm trying to use. I've verified that the .image and .changes files are not read only and are unblocked (you know, that little button that exists on the properties dialog of a file that was downloaded from the internet).
Squeak version: Squeak-4.2-All-in-One
SBE: 1.3
What's next?
Edit:
Proceeding with the book a bit, I got to the part where you save the environment, then try to open your recently saved image. I got the same error. So it must be an issue with how I'm opening it, or an permissions thing or something. I made sure both my user and the system user have full control over the image and changes files. I also tried forcing squeak.exe to run as administrator. Still having problems.
Saving the default image while exiting instead of a save-as and simply loading squeak.exe (and the default image) worked without error. I'll look at it some more later.
It seems that when an ImageFile is specified in Squeak.ini (as is the case in Squeak-4.2-All-in-One) that image file is always used. And if you pass a file as an argument to Squeak.exe (or drag and drop it) that file is passed to the image as a source file to be executed instead.
If you want to open an image file by dropping it on the Squeak.exe icon remove the ImageFile directive from Squeak.ini
