RE: [graphics preview] known problem but...

[Robert Spee]

see http://bugzilla.lyx.org/show_bug.cgi?id=39

I think you can upgarding safely to 1.1.6fix4 and still using the same
document. 

I use Redhat 7.2 and the ghostscript package ghostscript-6.51-17.i386.rpm
with lyx 1.1.6fix4 and it works fine since I upgraded to this ghostscript
version.

Good luck

 Subject: [graphics preview] known problem but...
 
 
 Hi,
 Included graphics is not shown in LyX with lyx 1.6-fix2. (I am still
 using 1.6 for an important document, that was created with 1.6).
 Searching docs an mailinglist archives learned that this was a bug in
 ghostscript that has been fixed in 6.53, so I have upgraded 
 to 6.53. Now
 part of my pictures (Grace graphs) are shown, but more are not. LaTeX
 output is OK. When I open the usersguide, esher-lsd.eps is shown,
 platypus.eps is not. Has anybody a solution for this?
 In 1.2 preview works, but for this document I do not want to use 1.2
 yet, it is too important and I would not like to break compatibility
 with 1.6. LyX 1.2 crashed a few times when scrolling through this
 document, complaining about memory, but I cannot reproduce this.
 
 Bye,
 
 Martijn
 
 
 

Re: Graphics in Lyx DocBook

[David Cussans]

José,
Many thanks for your help. I can get things to work now. The 
sequence I use is

at command line: lyx foo.lyx
in Lyx:  File-Export-DOCBOOK
at command line:  db2dvi foo.sgml
followed by:  dvips foo.dvi

In Lyx if I try File-Export-PDF, db2dvi can't find the graphics file 
( see lyx_graphics_errors.log (command line transcript) ).

If I export DocBook SGML from Lyx and try db2pdf foo.sgml from the 
command line, I find that Jade can't cope with included EPS files ( but 
PDF is OK ) - see db2pdf_errors.log and graphics_test.log. Looking at 
graphics_test.log, graphics file-formats for db2pdf seems to be limited 
to .png,.pdf,.jpg,.mps,.tif . Obviously this isn't a Lyx problem, but 
certainly had me confused. The command db2dvi seems to cope with EPS 
with no problems.

Thanks again for your help. I have a solution that works

David

Hi,
I would like to use Lyx to output DocBook SGML. I have installed Lyx
1.2.1 on my RH 7.3 system and have the docbook tool-set installed



  I have the same toolchain.

  

Creating a new document using the Docbook template works, and
writing *text* works fine. Troubles start when I try to include
graphics. Jade gives errors when processing the SGML produced by Lyx.

I have attached a test Lyx file, the Docbook SGML produced by Lyx,
and the error message produced by Jade.



  The attached file should fix it. The only change is that the paragraph where 
the figure is was changed from Standard to SGML.

  

It is pretty easy to hand-edit the SGML to sort out the problem, but
how do I get Lyx to produce the correct SGML in the first place?

In addition Lyx does not produce an size attributes to the graphics
element ( e.g. WIDTH, SCALE ) - which  means that the figure must be the
right size for the page, and won't be scaled. ( Mind you, jade seems to
ignore size attributes in any case ).



  I have been lazy here. Since I usually don't have problems with scaling I 
never had the ouptut correct for it. The patch for it is simple and it spans 
few lines. I will send it to the list soon and propose it for inclusion for 
future 1.2.2

  

Another irritation is that the only file-format for graphics that
seems to work with Jade is PDF - am I missing something obvious ?



  I don't know. I don't remember to have problems here.

  

Does anybody know how include graphics in Docbook with Lyx?

Cheers,
David

Pb with ERT

[Olivier Meplan]

Hello
I have a problem with the new Lyx version (1.2.0 or 1.2.1) on RedHat
7.3.
All is working well...except the ERT mode: I can't convert a selected
word in TeX mode ; it just open a new ERT box after the selected part of
text. This was not the case on previous versions.
What is the problem and its solution ?
Thank you very much

Subject: Removing CONTENTS header from ToC pages (LoF also)


This may be more of a LaTeX question, but here goes.  I have been using the 
following in my preamble to set page numbers on non-first page of chapters 
in the upper right hand corner of the page, rather than centered in the 
bottom.  This works very well.

%%% Set up page number headings
\newcommand{\ps@pnum}{
 \renewcommand{\@oddhead}{\hfil{\thepage}}
 \renewcommand{\@evenhead}{\@oddhead}
 \renewcommand{\@oddfoot}{}
 \renewcommand{\@evenfoot}{}
 }
%%% End of heading definition

However, when I use the standard LyX Table of Contents and List of Figure 
commands, the headers CONTENTS and LIST OF FIGURES appear.  I would like to 
remove these headers (I have to conform to my university's thesis 
preparation guidelines).

I have this working here too change force running headers:

\renewcommand\tableofcontents{%
\if@twocolumn
  \@restonecoltrue\onecolumn
\else
  \@restonecolfalse
\fi
\chapter*{\contentsname
\@mkboth{%
   \textsc{\contentsname}}{\textsc{\contentsname}}}%
\@starttoc{toc}%
\if@restonecol\twocolumn\fi
}

\renewcommand\listoffigures{%
\if@twocolumn
  \@restonecoltrue\onecolumn
\else
  \@restonecolfalse
\fi
\chapter*{\listfigurename

  \@mkboth{\textsc{\listfigurename}}%
  {\textsc{\listfigurename}}}%
\@starttoc{lof}%
\if@restonecol\twocolumn\fi

To get empty headers. you may replace the {\textsc{\contentsname}}
and {\textsc{\listfigurename}} by {}.

I don't know. I've never installed teTeX in any other way then as .rpm.
I think you would have to remove a few binaries from /usr/local/bin, too...

 formats. Also, I can't remove it, using rpm -e lyx*.
 
 What does 'rpm -qa | grep lyx' say?  'rpm -e lyx-exact-name' should work.
 
 rpm -qa | grep lyx says nothing.

So it's not installed anymore according to rpm's thinking. So this is
either true, or the rpm database is broken.

 Also, rpm -e replies with package lyx not installed. I tried it before
 and I got some errors, but I forgot to write them down and forgot them,
 sorry, stupid indeed. However, it seems removed. At least, when I run lyx
 from command line, it replies with
 command not found.

Ok.

 So, if you think it is a good idea, I'll first remove /usr/local/teTeX/
 and its contents.

Try to figure out what else goth installed by tetex's install.sh and remove
this as well.

 Then I'll install an other teTeX package with YaST2 and
 then install the rpm of LyX 1.2.1, using rpm -Uvh --nodeps
 lyx-1.2.1-1.i386.rpm as described in the installation manual of LyX
 1.2.0.

Exactly.

 What is the problem and its solution ?

I think this was an intentional change made in the newer versions.. the
way to insert ERT is to hit Ctrl-L (or the Tex button) which will open
the box, and then put your latex code inside the box. It will
automatically be red inside the box..

Hope this helps..

Support for listing package

[Pedro Tejedor]

Hello, LyX-users,

does anybody know if the support for listings package has improved in 
1.2.x or even in the forthcoming 1.3?

I am beginning to use it in 1.1.6 and I have to apply lyx-code and 
TeX-mode to use lstlisting, and to be allowed to input free spaces, 
which is kind of annoying. I heard long ago about supporting this 
package, but I never knew what happened of it.

If there is no change about it, how can I fill a feature request?

TIA

Redhat install: libforms RPM

[Lars Jensen]

When I try to install lyx1.2.1 on my Redhat 6.2, I get the
following error:

libforms.so.088 is needed by lyx-1.2.1-1
libstdc++-libc6.1-2.so3 is needed by lyx-1.2.1-1

What rpm's do I need for this? I can't seem to find them on the lyx
related software site.

I already installed xforms on my system. There seem to be more
dependencies than simply xforms that must be satisfied to install lyx.

Thanks,
Lars.

Did you also install liXpm and xforms-devel ?
Are these packages also installed:

libstdc++ and libstdc++-devel

Perhaps you also need compat-libstdc++.rpm

I think I had the same problem with my installation of lyx on RedHat 7.2 
and I found the answer on the link below

http://www.mail-archive.com/lyx-users%40lists.lyx.org/msg20035.html

but I'm not sure it is the exact same problem. Maybe you should try a 
search on
http://www.rpmfind.net for the packages your supposed to need If they 
don't install because you have newer packages installed follow

changing language does not apply to tables

[Matthias Bunk]

Hello!

When I write a document in any language (e.g. german) with a tabular
in it and then I'm changing the language to another one (e.g.
ngerman) the text inside the table will be remain in the old language.
All of the other text will be converted to the new language. The
underlined words in the table and the LaTeX code shows the usage of both
languages instead of using only the new one.

This behaviour is surely not the desired one. Is it fixed in newer
versions?

Greetings,
Matthias.

I think you can upgarding safely to 1.1.6fix4 and still using the same

I use Redhat 7.2 and the ghostscript package ghostscript-6.51-17.i386.rpm

 Hi,
 Included graphics is not shown in LyX with lyx 1.6-fix2. (I am still
 using 1.6 for an important document, that was created with 1.6).
 Searching docs an mailinglist archives learned that this was a bug in
 ghostscript that has been fixed in 6.53, so I have upgraded 
 to 6.53. Now
 part of my pictures (Grace graphs) are shown, but more are not. LaTeX
 output is OK. When I open the usersguide, esher-lsd.eps is shown,
 platypus.eps is not. Has anybody a solution for this?
 In 1.2 preview works, but for this document I do not want to use 1.2
 yet, it is too important and I would not like to break compatibility
 with 1.6. LyX 1.2 crashed a few times when scrolling through this
 document, complaining about memory, but I cannot reproduce this.
 
 Bye,
 
 Martijn
 
 
 

Re: Graphics in Lyx DocBook

[David Cussans]

José,
Many thanks for your help. I can get things to work now. The 
sequence I use is

at command line: lyx foo.lyx
in Lyx:  File-Export-DOCBOOK
at command line:  db2dvi foo.sgml
followed by:  dvips foo.dvi

In Lyx if I try File-Export-PDF, db2dvi can't find the graphics file 
( see lyx_graphics_errors.log (command line transcript) ).

If I export DocBook SGML from Lyx and try db2pdf foo.sgml from the 
command line, I find that Jade can't cope with included EPS files ( but 
PDF is OK ) - see db2pdf_errors.log and graphics_test.log. Looking at 
graphics_test.log, graphics file-formats for db2pdf seems to be limited 
to .png,.pdf,.jpg,.mps,.tif . Obviously this isn't a Lyx problem, but 
certainly had me confused. The command db2dvi seems to cope with EPS 
with no problems.

Thanks again for your help. I have a solution that works

David

Hi,
I would like to use Lyx to output DocBook SGML. I have installed Lyx
1.2.1 on my RH 7.3 system and have the docbook tool-set installed



  I have the same toolchain.

  

Creating a new document using the Docbook template works, and
writing *text* works fine. Troubles start when I try to include
graphics. Jade gives errors when processing the SGML produced by Lyx.

I have attached a test Lyx file, the Docbook SGML produced by Lyx,
and the error message produced by Jade.



  The attached file should fix it. The only change is that the paragraph where 
the figure is was changed from Standard to SGML.

  

It is pretty easy to hand-edit the SGML to sort out the problem, but
how do I get Lyx to produce the correct SGML in the first place?

In addition Lyx does not produce an size attributes to the graphics
element ( e.g. WIDTH, SCALE ) - which  means that the figure must be the
right size for the page, and won't be scaled. ( Mind you, jade seems to
ignore size attributes in any case ).



  I have been lazy here. Since I usually don't have problems with scaling I 
never had the ouptut correct for it. The patch for it is simple and it spans 
few lines. I will send it to the list soon and propose it for inclusion for 
future 1.2.2

  

Another irritation is that the only file-format for graphics that
seems to work with Jade is PDF - am I missing something obvious ?



  I don't know. I don't remember to have problems here.

  

Does anybody know how include graphics in Docbook with Lyx?

Cheers,
David

Pb with ERT

[Olivier Meplan]

Hello
I have a problem with the new Lyx version (1.2.0 or 1.2.1) on RedHat
7.3.
All is working well...except the ERT mode: I can't convert a selected
word in TeX mode ; it just open a new ERT box after the selected part of
text. This was not the case on previous versions.
What is the problem and its solution ?
Thank you very much

This may be more of a LaTeX question, but here goes.  I have been using the

However, when I use the standard LyX Table of Contents and List of Figure 
commands, the headers CONTENTS and LIST OF FIGURES appear.  I would like to 
remove these headers (I have to conform to my university's thesis

I have this working here too change force running headers:

\renewcommand\tableofcontents{%

  \@restonecolfalse

I don't know. I've never installed teTeX in any other way then as .rpm.

 What does 'rpm -qa | grep lyx' say?  'rpm -e lyx-exact-name' should work.
 
 rpm -qa | grep lyx says nothing.

So it's not installed anymore according to rpm's thinking. So this is
either true, or the rpm database is broken.

 Also, rpm -e replies with package lyx not installed. I tried it before
 and I got some errors, but I forgot to write them down and forgot them,
 sorry, stupid indeed. However, it seems removed. At least, when I run lyx
 from command line, it replies with
 command not found.

Ok.

 So, if you think it is a good idea, I'll first remove /usr/local/teTeX/
 and its contents.

Try to figure out what else goth installed by tetex's install.sh and remove
this as well.

 Then I'll install an other teTeX package with YaST2 and
 then install the rpm of LyX 1.2.1, using rpm -Uvh --nodeps
 lyx-1.2.1-1.i386.rpm as described in the installation manual of LyX
 1.2.0.

Exactly.

I think this was an intentional change made in the newer versions.. the
way to insert ERT is to hit Ctrl-L (or the Tex button) which will open
the box, and then put your latex code inside the box. It will
automatically be red inside the box..

Support for listing package

[Pedro Tejedor]

Hello, LyX-users,

does anybody know if the support for listings package has improved in 
1.2.x or even in the forthcoming 1.3?

I am beginning to use it in 1.1.6 and I have to apply lyx-code and 
TeX-mode to use lstlisting, and to be allowed to input free spaces, 
which is kind of annoying. I heard long ago about supporting this 
package, but I never knew what happened of it.

If there is no change about it, how can I fill a feature request?

TIA

 I am beginning to use it in 1.1.6 and I have to apply lyx-code and 
 TeX-mode to use lstlisting, and to be allowed to input free spaces, 
 which is kind of annoying. I heard long ago about supporting this 
 package, but I never knew what happened of it.

In 1.2.x, LaTeX-mode is free-spacing, so lstlisting is easier to use.

I just look at the files latex.ltx, article.cls, book.cls etc.
However, there is a documentation for these files, which can be generated from

Yes, which is latex.ltx in your $TEXMF/tex/latex/base directory

parallel installation of 1.1.6fix4 crashes

[Amir Seginer]

Hello,

I'm trying to install Lyx-1.1.6fix4 in parallel to Lyx-1.2 (inorder to 
work on an older file), however right after starting the program it 
crashes with the message:

lyx-1.1.6fix4: /usr/include/g++-3/std/bastring.cc:126: 
basic_stringcharT, traits, Allocator basic_stringcharT, traits, 
Allocator::replace (unsigned int, unsigned int, const 
basic_stringcharT, traits, Allocator , unsigned int, unsigned int) 
[with charT = char, traits = string_char_traitschar, Allocator = 
__default_alloc_templatetrue, 0]: Assertion `!(pos2  len2)' failed.
Aborted


I'm using RedHat-7.3, and installed it using:

./configure --with-version-suffix=-1.1.6fix4
make
make install

I should mention that I also tried to use:

./configure
make

and run from appropriate directory. This worked only after deleting my 
.lyx library, but crashed again after rerunning.

If more information is needed please tell me.

Thanks for any help.

Amir.

Redhat install: libforms RPM

[Lars Jensen]

When I try to install lyx1.2.1 on my Redhat 6.2, I get the
following error:

libforms.so.088 is needed by lyx-1.2.1-1
libstdc++-libc6.1-2.so3 is needed by lyx-1.2.1-1

What rpm's do I need for this? I can't seem to find them on the lyx
related software site.

I already installed xforms on my system. There seem to be more
dependencies than simply xforms that must be satisfied to install lyx.

Thanks,
Lars.

changing language does not apply to tables

[Matthias Bunk]

Hello!

When I write a document in any language (e.g. german) with a tabular
in it and then I'm changing the language to another one (e.g.
ngerman) the text inside the table will be remain in the old language.
All of the other text will be converted to the new language. The
underlined words in the table and the LaTeX code shows the usage of both
languages instead of using only the new one.

This behaviour is surely not the desired one. Is it fixed in newer
versions?

Greetings,
Matthias.

lyx 1.2.1 on RedHat 6.2? How?

[Lars Jensen]

Has anyone succeeded in installing lyx 1.2.1 on Redhat 6.2? If so,
exactly what RPMs were needed to satisfy the dependencies. I havem't
been able to get 1.2.1 installed on my 6.2 system.

Thanks for any help.

RE: [graphics preview] known problem but...

[Robert Spee]

see http://bugzilla.lyx.org/show_bug.cgi?id=39

I think you can upgarding safely to 1.1.6fix4 and still using the same
document. 

I use Redhat 7.2 and the ghostscript package ghostscript-6.51-17.i386.rpm
with lyx 1.1.6fix4 and it works fine since I upgraded to this ghostscript
version.

Good luck

Re: Graphics in Lyx "DocBook"

[David Cussans]

José,
Many thanks for your help. I can get things to work now. The 
sequence I use is

at command line: lyx foo.lyx
in Lyx:  "File->Export->DOCBOOK"
at command line:  db2dvi foo.sgml
followed by:  dvips foo.dvi

In Lyx if I try "File->Export->PDF", db2dvi can't find the graphics file 
( see lyx_graphics_errors.log (command line transcript) ).

If I export DocBook SGML from Lyx and try "db2pdf foo.sgml" from the 
command line, I find that Jade can't cope with included EPS files ( but 
PDF is OK ) - see db2pdf_errors.log and graphics_test.log. Looking at 
graphics_test.log, graphics file-formats for db2pdf seems to be limited 
to .png,.pdf,.jpg,.mps,.tif . Obviously this isn't a Lyx problem, but 
certainly had me confused. The command "db2dvi" seems to cope with EPS 
with no problems.

Thanks again for your help. I have a solution that works

David

Pb with ERT

[Olivier Meplan]

I have a problem with the new Lyx version (1.2.0 or 1.2.1) on RedHat
7.3.
All is working well...except the ERT mode: I can't convert a selected

text. This was not the case on previous versions.
What is the problem and its solution ?

I have this working here too change force running headers:

\renewcommand\tableofcontents{%
\if@twocolumn
  \@restonecoltrue\onecolumn
\else
  \@restonecolfalse
\fi
\chapter*{\contentsname
\@mkboth{%
   \textsc{\contentsname}}{\textsc{\contentsname}}}%
\@starttoc{toc}%
\if@restonecol\twocolumn\fi
}

\renewcommand\listoffigures{%
\if@twocolumn
  \@restonecoltrue\onecolumn
\else
  \@restonecolfalse
\fi
\chapter*{\listfigurename
\addcontentsline{toc}{chapter}{\protect\numberline{}\listfigurename}%
  \@mkboth{\textsc{\listfigurename}}%
  {\textsc{\listfigurename}}}%
\@starttoc{lof}%
\if@restonecol\twocolumn\fi
}

To get empty headers. you may replace the {\textsc{\contentsname}}
and {\textsc{\listfigurename}} by {}.

I don't know. I've never installed teTeX in any other way then as .rpm.

So it's not installed anymore according to rpm's thinking. So this is
either true, or the rpm database is broken.

Ok.

Try to figure out what else goth installed by tetex's install.sh and remove

I think this was an intentional change made in the newer versions.. the
way to insert ERT is to hit Ctrl-L (or the Tex button) which will open
the box, and then put your latex code inside the box. It will
automatically be red inside the box..

Hope this helps..

And this behaviour is fixed in 1.3.0cvs. Select a text, insert some
inset that contains text (ERT, footnote...) and you will have this
inset with your text inside.

TeX code is more compact than LaTeX code, sure :-)

But the LaTeX way requires only to search for the code
in the report class and edit it.

Dekel,

Where have you learned commands like mkboth and gobbletwo? I've been all 
through the latex2e.dvi and lshort.dvi, but I never saw these commands.

Thanks

Steve

Looking at the latex sources.

Support for listing package

[Pedro Tejedor]

Hello, LyX-users,

does anybody know if the support for listings package has improved in 
1.2.x or even in the forthcoming 1.3?

I am beginning to use it in 1.1.6 and I have to apply lyx-code and 
TeX-mode to use lstlisting, and to be allowed to input free spaces, 
which is kind of annoying. I heard long ago about supporting this 
package, but I never knew what happened of it.

If there is no change about it, how can I fill a feature request?

TIA

Pedro

Herbert Voss has made a patch for decent listings support. Unfortunately
it wasn't ready in time and has now missed the 1.3 feature freeze.

Oh, I see. Thank you. But it seems that Herbert is no more online. It

Thanks Dekel. That's good to know. Do you mean the source code that compiles 
to the latex2e executable, or do you mean something else?

Thanks

In 1.2.x, LaTeX-mode is free-spacing, so lstlisting is easier to use.

I just look at the files latex.ltx, article.cls, book.cls etc.
However, there is a documentation for these files, which can be generated from
the latex sources (.dtx files).

Does anybody has an explanation for the %subj% (lyx 1.1.6fix4)?

Yes, which is latex.ltx in your $TEXMF/tex/latex/base directory
(and possible article.cls or whichever document style you use).

parallel installation of 1.1.6fix4 crashes

[Amir Seginer]

Hello,

I'm trying to install Lyx-1.1.6fix4 in parallel to Lyx-1.2 (inorder to 
work on an older file), however right after starting the program it 
crashes with the message:

lyx-1.1.6fix4: /usr/include/g++-3/std/bastring.cc:126: 
basic_string _string::replace (unsigned int, unsigned int, const 
basic_string &, unsigned int, unsigned int) 
[with charT = char, traits = string_char_traits, Allocator = 
__default_alloc_template]: Assertion `!(pos2 > len2)' failed.
Aborted


I'm using RedHat-7.3, and installed it using:

./configure --with-version-suffix=-1.1.6fix4
make
make install

I should mention that I also tried to use:

./configure
make

and run from appropriate directory. This worked only after deleting my 
.lyx library, but crashed again after rerunning.

If more information is needed please tell me.

Thanks for any help.

Amir.

Redhat install: libforms RPM

[Lars Jensen]

When I try to install lyx1.2.1 on my Redhat 6.2, I get the
following error:

libforms.so.088 is needed by lyx-1.2.1-1
libstdc++-libc6.1-2.so3 is needed by lyx-1.2.1-1

What rpm's do I need for this? I can't seem to find them on the lyx
"related software" site.

I already installed xforms on my system. There seem to be more
dependencies than simply xforms that must be satisfied to install lyx.

Thanks,
Lars.

Did you also install liXpm and xforms-devel ?
Are these packages also installed:

libstdc++ and libstdc++-devel

Perhaps you also need compat-libstdc++.rpm

I think I had the same problem with my installation of lyx on RedHat 7.2 
and I found the answer on the link below

http://www.mail-archive.com/lyx-users%40lists.lyx.org/msg20035.html

but I'm not sure it is the exact same problem. Maybe you should try a 
search on
http://www.rpmfind.net for the packages your supposed to need If they 
don't install because you have newer packages installed follow 
instructions on the first link

Hope this helps/works

changing language does not apply to tables

[Matthias Bunk]

Hello!

When I write a document in any language (e.g. "german") with a tabular
in it and then I'm changing the language to another one (e.g.
"ngerman") the text inside the table will be remain in the old language.
All of the other text will be converted to the new language. The
underlined words in the table and the LaTeX code shows the usage of both
languages instead of using only the new one.

This behaviour is surely not the desired one. Is it fixed in newer
versions?

Greetings,
Matthias.

lyx 1.2.1 on RedHat 6.2? How?

[Lars Jensen]

Has anyone succeeded in installing lyx 1.2.1 on Redhat 6.2? If so,
exactly what RPMs were needed to satisfy the dependencies. I havem't
been able to get 1.2.1 installed on my 6.2 system.

Thanks for any help.

Lars.
