lyx-Anfänger-Frage
Hallo, entschuldigt meine Anfrage in deutsch, aber mein Englisch ist nicht so gut, dass ich mein Problem damit genau beschreiben könnte: Habe Lyx 1.16 - und KLyx - unter SuSe 7.0 installiert; hat soweit auch geklappt, jedenfalls kann ich die Programme problemlos starten. Nur das Ausdrucken der Dokumente klappt nicht (mit anderen Programmen geht das problemlos); wenn ich es versuche, kommen folgende Fehlermeldungen: "Converting from latex to dvi Running sh: ./Datei: Keine Berechtigung ... dvips: ! DVI file can`t be opened" Weiter kommt im xterm-Fenster jeweils die Meldung: "apsfilter: unsupported filetype" Auch unter KLyx klappt das Ausdrucken entsprechend nicht. Kann mir jemand weiterhelfen?

AFAIK SuSE ships lyx-1.1.4p3 and on the SuSE FTP Server there is no update to 1.1.6. (Yes I know there are rpms from third party but ...) From with directory do you start LyX? Did you try to save the .lyx file first? For me it looks like a problem with permissions within the filesystem to create the LaTeX DVI file and therefore there is "nothing" to print. You can try to export a .ps of your document and then print it from the shell. Now a short german Translation: Soweit ich weis, ist bei SuSE 7 "nur" die Version 1.1.4p3 von LyX dabei. Wie hast Du die 1.1.6 installiert? Von SuSE gibt es kein Upgrade-rpm. Vermutung: Keine Rechte im Dateisystem, die LaTeX DVI-Datei zu erzeugen, daher ist nichts zum Drucken vorhanden. Tip: Dokument vorher als .lyx speichern und dann noch einmal probieren. Alternativ auch als .ps exportieren und dann mit der Shell drucken (testweise) HTH Frank

- write results in table format using fprintf = file table_xx.tex like

Absolute minimal TeX for use with LyX?
Hi... I am a big LyX fan, and am currently using it to transcribe several reams of electronics notes from years ago. While my main PC is out of commission due to failed hard drives (it is evil and will be replaced!), I am running LyX (without TeX at all) on an old laptop. The problem here is that I am severely limited by the size of its hard drive. I have installed SuSE 6.4 with a few updates, and currently have only 75MB left on /usr. This is not enough space to install both TeX and LaTeX, at least not from RPMs which are built with all the bells and whistles. Therefore I am asking the (T)experts here: What is the absolute minimum I need to install in order to view and print basic documents? Here are some things I know: I do not need BibTeX. I do need AMS book class, and right now it seems that (even though I have SuSE's te_ams RPM installed) LyX does not make ams-book available, which means I don't have the cool Definition, etc., environments. I do not really need extra fonts; I don't actually need to print these documents, though it would be nice to have LyX available to write letters and such -- I could remove KOffice to free up some space. (I can replace it with LyX and gnumeric, I think. :) My options as I can see them, right now, are either to install RPMs, perhaps with broken dependencies, to get the bare minimum of stuff on here, or to build and install only the pieces of (La)TeX necessary for basic typesetting. I am not afraid to edit Makefiles, or spec files, but I'm not sure what's involved here. If someone, preferably a SuSE user, could give me some information, I'd greatly appreciate it.

You could try look what the EPS file looks like--but if you don't know what it _should_ look like, then it's of little help. One question though, are the EPS files ASCII or do they have lots of unprintable characters (you may view the file with less; unprintable characters are shown as XX where XX is some hexadecimal number). Maybe the EPS files are in MS-DOS format--ie, the lines end in CR/LF pair while lines on Unix end on only LF (and lines on Mac end on only CR!). If this is the case, try converting the files to Unix using dos2unix, recode, or similar utility. You could also try processing the EPS files with "ps2epsi" command and see if they work then.

Absolute minimal TeX for use with LyX?
Hi... I am a big LyX fan, and am currently using it to transcribe several reams of electronics notes from years ago. While my main PC is out of commission due to failed hard drives (it is evil and will be replaced!), I am running LyX (without TeX at all) on an old laptop. The problem here is that I am severely limited by the size of its hard drive. I have installed SuSE 6.4 with a few updates, and currently have only 75MB left on /usr. This is not enough space to install both TeX and LaTeX, at least not from RPMs which are built with all the bells and whistles. Therefore I am asking the (T)experts here: What is the absolute minimum I need to install in order to view and print basic documents? Here are some things I know: I do not need BibTeX. I do need AMS book class, and right now it seems that (even though I have SuSE's te_ams RPM installed) LyX does not make ams-book available, which means I don't have the cool Definition, etc., environments. I do not really need extra fonts; I don't actually need to print these documents, though it would be nice to have LyX available to write letters and such -- I could remove KOffice to free up some space. (I can replace it with LyX and gnumeric, I think. :) My options as I can see them, right now, are either to install RPMs, perhaps with broken dependencies, to get the bare minimum of stuff on here, or to build and install only the pieces of (La)TeX necessary for basic typesetting. I am not afraid to edit Makefiles, or spec files, but I'm not sure what's involved here. If someone, preferably a SuSE user, could give me some information, I'd greatly appreciate it.

Maybe the EPS files are in MS-DOS format--ie, the lines end in CR/LF pair while lines on Unix end on only LF (and lines on Mac end on only CR!).

lyx-Anfänger-Frage
Hallo, entschuldigt meine Anfrage in deutsch, aber mein Englisch ist nicht so gut, dass ich mein Problem damit genau beschreiben könnte: Habe Lyx 1.16 - und KLyx - unter SuSe 7.0 installiert; hat soweit auch geklappt, jedenfalls kann ich die Programme problemlos starten. Nur das Ausdrucken der Dokumente klappt nicht (mit anderen Programmen geht das problemlos); wenn ich es versuche, kommen folgende Fehlermeldungen: "Converting from latex to dvi Running sh: ./Datei: Keine Berechtigung ... dvips: ! DVI file can`t be opened" Weiter kommt im xterm-Fenster jeweils die Meldung: "apsfilter: unsupported filetype" Auch unter KLyx klappt das Ausdrucken entsprechend nicht. Kann mir jemand weiterhelfen? Vielen Dank im voraus. Horst Jurkat

Hi Horst, a simple but important question: how did you install the LyX 1.1.6? AFAIK SuSE ships lyx-1.1.4p3 and on the SuSE FTP Server there is no update to 1.1.6. (Yes I know there are rpms from third party but ...) >From with directory do you start LyX? Did you try to save the .lyx file first? For me it looks like a problem with permissions within the filesystem to create the LaTeX DVI file and therefore there is "nothing" to print. You can try to export a .ps of your document and then print it from the shell. Now a short german Translation: Soweit ich weis, ist bei SuSE 7 "nur" die Version 1.1.4p3 von LyX dabei. Wie hast Du die 1.1.6 installiert? Von SuSE gibt es kein Upgrade-rpm. Vermutung: Keine Rechte im Dateisystem, die LaTeX DVI-Datei zu erzeugen, daher ist nichts zum Drucken vorhanden. Tip: Dokument vorher als .lyx speichern und dann noch einmal probieren. Alternativ auch als .ps exportieren und dann mit der Shell drucken (testweise) HTH Frank

Importing Gnumeric spreadsheet, rotation by 90deg
Dear all, I have a spreadsheet, created in Gnumeric. I can export as latex2e, reLyX it and include it within a table float. So far so good, however, the spreadsheet, whilst not enormous, does not fit horizontally across the page. What ERT do I need (and wherabouts!) to rotate this by 90 degrees within the float? NB: 1) I need this to be within the .lyx file, as I need to semi-automate the process, since I am playing with the numbers; 2) It needs to be in a table float so it appears in the list of tables. Any ideas (or any alternative spreadsheet import methods)?

Don't know about Gnumeric, bute here is what I do with Matlab
(would work with any code with output format control in fact)
- write results in table format using fprintf => file table_xx.tex like
\begin{tabular}{|c|c|}
5.3&5.4\\
etc.
\end{tabular}
- create a table float in LyX file tables.lyx
with the required caption and rotation
- insert the table with « input » (of file table_xx.tex)
The Matlab script tables.m can be run as batch process, so
matlab < tables.m; lyx -e ps tables.lyx
refreshes the data in the document.
