Re: install latest lyx

[Wolfgang Engelmann]

  I would like to install the latest LyX version on my Debian Linux.
  I used Guenther Mildes proposal:
 
   wolfgang:/home/wolfgang# apt-get build-dep lyx
  and get
 
  Reading package lists... Done
  Building dependency tree
  Reading state information... Done
  0 upgraded, 0 newly installed, 0 to remove and 2 not upgraded.
 
  Did I get a result and if, where do I look for it?

 I would say that you did. Apt reports that you have all the packages
 that the build depends upon. You are ready to start building the new
 LyX.

 Now download the LyX version that you want and build according to the
 instructions on the wiki: http://wiki.lyx.org/Tips/Compiling

 Cheers,

Thanks, Alan and Marcelo.

I did now in my /lyx-devel a
svn update  

and from http://www.lyx.org/HowToUseSVN
6. Compiling the source

I am supposed to do:

If you want to compile and run the development module, things are somewhat 
more complicated than for the release module. You're going to need automake, 
autoconf, and gettext, which can be downloaded from your favorite GNU ftp 
site. (Start at gnu.org to find a mirror.) Once you've installed all of that 
stuff, just run the autogen.sh script written by Allan Rae, which will do 
things in the right order, and then tell you to run configure and make. 

Where would I find the autogen.sh script written by Allan Rae?

You might like to use Synaptic which is a GUI interface to apt-get. Or
aptitude in a terminal. Either one makes life a lot easier.

Memo template

[Kevin Foster]

Hello all,

I've very new to LyX and somewhat new to LaTeX.  Can anyone comment on the
existence of memo templates?  The selection of user-created
templateshttp://wiki.lyx.org/Layouts/Layouts i
found (layouts? same thing right?) is surprisingly sparse given LyX's
enthusiastic user base... as several previous commenters on this list have
noted, the absence of a simple memo template is a shame. This
threadhttp://www.mail-archive.com/lyx-users@lists.lyx.org/msg28646.html
sums
it up best.

Are there many layouts out there elsewhere on the site that I'm missing?  Do
I just have to read the documentation and create my own layout?  I recognize
that it's not a very difficult process, but for new users it would be nice
if more shared layouts were on the wiki.  Of course i'm happy to post
whatever i come up with once i figure it out... just surprised there aren't
memo layouts up already :)

Best regards,
Kevin

ftp down - Windows installer not working!

[Nigel Arnot]

The ftp server(?) is down. The mirrors may be up, but the lyx installer 
(lyx-1.6.6-1-Installer.exe) is not using the mirrors for loading aspell. 
At that point (downloading aspell6-en-6.0.0.exe) it waits a bit, says 
connection failed, and offers a choice between cancelling or trying 
again. Try again is useless, cancel completes a Lyx installation with 
spell check greyed out.


Like this for at least a day now. Please can someone fix the aspell 
download server that the above installer uses?


Also does anyone know how to tell Lyx installed after cancelling aspell 
download to use an instance of aspell separately installed?

glossaries and export

[Steven Bell]

I am attempting to use the glossaries package with LyX, and have had only
partial success. I've put the appropriate ERT into my document and created a
short makefile which exports the LyX document to TeX and runs pdflatex and
makeindex to generate the final pdf.  This works well, but I would like a
solution that doesn't produce quite as much clutter.
Obviously there is built-in support for the nomencl package, but that
appears to not have been updated in the last 5 years or so (
http://www.ctan.org/tex-archive/macros/latex/contrib/nomencl/) and it
doesn't appear to do what I'm currently doing with glossaries.

Is there a way for me to export the LyX document (and the included images)
to a separate directory, the same way I would create a build subdirectory
when compiling software?  Right now, it just appears that lyx -e pdflatex
just creates files in the directories where the source files are.

Even better, is there a way to have LyX run makeindex and makeglossaries for
me, and produce the final pdf without the makefile?

I've been using LyX 1.6.5 and svn trunk.

Thanks,
Steven

Hello,

I recently installed lyx on my computer. When I try to launch the spelling

What can I do ?

Yes, you are.  Beamer loads it automatically.

Might have something to do with the problem mentioned here: 
http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=452333.  Your log says 
you're loading v6.74m of hyperref (the post mentions 6.75p).  FWIW, I 
just compiled a beamer doc on my Windoze PC (MiKTeX), and I'm loading 
v6.81e (dated 2010/05/13).  So maybe an update of your hyperref package 
might fix it?  I do have a warning in my log:



Package hyperref Warning: Option `pdfpagelabels' is turned off
(hyperref)because \thepage is undefined.

Hyperref stopped early
)


as well as the apparently harmless


Package hyperref Warning: Option `pdfauthor' has already been used,
(hyperref)setting the option has no effect on input line 57.



later in the log.

(I'm also using beamer 3.07A, versus your using 3.08; don't know if that 
matters.)


Dunno if that helps.

No.  Layouts tell LyX how to handle document classes (mainly how to 
display them, what environments to allow, etc., with some ability to 
customize the document class within the layout file).  Templates are 
prefab fill in the blanks documents.  Essentially, a template is just 
an ordinary LyX document.  If you open it with File  Open, you can edit 
it.  If you choose File  New from Template and select that document, 
LyX opens it but with a different file name (the generic 
newfile#.lyx name), so that you won't accidentally overwrite it if 
you make changes and do a save operation.



is surprisingly sparse given LyX's enthusiastic user
base... as several previous commenters on this list have noted, the
absence of a simple memo template is a shame. This thread
http://www.mail-archive.com/lyx-users@lists.lyx.org/msg28646.html sums
it up best.


I haven't read the thread, but I'm not particularly surprised -- memos 
frequently need to observe some formatting rules/preferences established 
by the author's organization (e.g., first page on the organization's 
letterhead).


Are there many layouts out there elsewhere on the site that I'm missing?
  Do I just have to read the documentation and create my own layout?


Unless you have to do something funky, it's a lot easier to create a 
template than to create a layout -- a layout makes sense mostly if you 
have tracked down a third party LaTeX document class (or created your own).


If you want to create something fancy, you might start with 
http://www.ctan.org/tex-archive/help/Catalogue/bytopic.html#letters. 
Search for memo (sadly having to skip over quite a few hits on 
memoir) and see if anything tickles your fancy.



 I
recognize that it's not a very difficult process, but for new users it
would be nice if more shared layouts were on the wiki.  Of course i'm
happy to post whatever i come up with once i figure it out... just
surprised there aren't memo layouts up already :)


My guess is that memo layouts (as opposed to templates) will be highly 
customized to the user's environment (and preferences).  I'm attaching a 
bare bones, plain paper memo template I use for within-office, 
don't-sweat-the-letterhead stuff.  Change my name to your (or whatever 
pseudonym you want to use), futz with choice of language, paper size, 
preferred fonts etc. in Document  Settings, and save it someplace. 
Then use File  New from Template to load a copy of it and memo away.


HTH,
Paul

  This is interesting: the log says the version of beamer is 3.08A while the
download directory says it's 3.09. Regardless, the new hyperref version does
not have the .sty and .cfg files that the document is seeking. Searching
CTAN shows no hyperref.sty to be found. Something's still outdated and I'm
not seeing it.

  New log file attached, perhaps a fresh pair of eyes will see it.

  Thanks, Alan and Marcelo.
 
  I did now in my /lyx-devel a

  and from http://www.lyx.org/HowToUseSVN
  6. Compiling the source
  
  I am supposed to do:
 
  If you want to compile and run the development module, things are
  somewhat more complicated than for the release module. You're going
  to need automake, autoconf, and gettext, which can be downloaded from
  your favorite GNU ftp site. (Start at gnu.org to find a mirror.) Once
  you've installed all of that stuff, just run the autogen.sh script
  written by Allan Rae, which will do things in the right order, and
  then tell you to run configure and make.
 
  Where would I find the autogen.sh script written by Allan Rae?
 
  Wolfgang

 apt-get install autogen
I had done this, but I was mislead by 
just run the autogen.sh script in the 6. Compiling advice ... cited above

experienced people would have know that one has to run 
autogen 
and not autogen.sh

running autogen in ~/lyx-devel was not a good idea either, since

wolfg...@wolfgang:~/lyx-devel$ autogen
cd '/home/wolfgang/lyx-devel'
cd '/home/wolfgang/lyx-devel'

so one level up
wolfg...@wolfgang:~$ autogen
cd '/home/wolfgang/lyx-devel'

and now I am waiting ...

either I did again something wrong, or it takes quite some time.
Is there a way to get messages about what is going on in the background?

Drag and drop text support on Lyx 1.6.6.1

[Jose A. Rodrigo]

Hi!!

First of all congratulations for this useful program and brilliant project!!

It is not possible to drag-and-drop text (just by selecting it with 
mouse pointer) like other text processors i.e. OpenWriter. Do you know 
when this feature will be added to lyx? I think that it will be very 
useful for many users. It will be great if this option is available for 
equation editing as well. Up to now I used copy and paste shortcuts.



Many thanks!
Jose

If you all do implement this feature, please include a switch to turn it off. 
Personally I'd prefer it be turned off by default, and if it's turned on by 
default, please widely publicize the change.

The way I work, dragging and dropping of text is a sure way to garble a 
document.

autogen.sh is correct, not autogen. The complete procedure is:

cd ~/lyx-devel
./autogen.sh

optionally you would also run:

I just checked in my ~/lyx-devel directory for autogen.sh; it is there and

perhaps I have the wrong shell??

 it has a star in front
*autogen.sh 

same with

is this of any relevance?

You're welcome to file an enhancement request for this on the bug 
reporter, at

When it might get done would depend upon whether someone feels compelled 
to do it. Of course, you could always do it yourself

The ./ (dot slash) is important. It tells your shell to execute the file 
from the current folder. If you get an error again, make sure the file 
is present by doing


ls

which should list the files in the current folder. If you copied the LyX 
source files correctly, you should see autogen.sh in there.


Here are build instructions again:

  I'd much rather have fun in other ways.

  The errors are limited to the beamer class (now it's the \makebeamertitle

Is \makebeamertitle defined? It should get defined by the layout file, 
but I suppose you could be using a custom layout or something.


You can try in the preamble:

\newcommand\makebeamertitle{\frame{\maketitle}}

Otherwise the usual approach applies here: make a minimal example file 
which reproduces the problem on your machine and send it out to this 
list for help.

So, once I remove the empty Section, it compiles.

Along the way, I had to install some fonts. (installed 
fonts/type1/public/fpl/fplrc8a.pfb from the fpl package using miktex)


Either or both of the above might help fixing your problem.

Re: Old Beamer Class Presentation Lost Navigation Links

Had to add some verbiage to the Section header and an EndFrame to close it off,
but after that it compiled fine for me (this time on my laptop, Mint Helena
w/TeXLive 2007, beamer 3.07, hyperref 6.75r).  I see Julien also got it to
compile.  I'm pasting in the hacked version below if you want to try it on your
end. (Check that the somewhat challenged web interface to GMANE didn't screw up

  I don't use GMANE, but read mail (including that from the lyx list) using
alpine.

  I stripped off the message header and loaded the .lyx file into my
installation. Same error as before. Removing the section (empty or not)
makes no difference.

  This is quite frustrating. All I did was upgrade the beamer class
yesterday (because the installed version was so old and I was not seeing the
logo on the slides).

  Later today I'll create a brand new beamer class test file and see what
happens.

Thanks,

Sorry, I meant that I was using GMANE to post my reply.  GMANE's web interface

Paul,

  Both source .tex and .log are attached.

  While the newest hyperref package does not include all the files of the
earlier versions and throws a warning, the error that halts compilation of
the file is \makebeamertitle.

  After seeing complaints in an earlier log file about hyperref I downloaded

for hyperref in the latest release.

Thanks,

That's where it halts, but not the problem.  The problem seems to be
\thispdfpagelabel is an undefined control sequence.  It's supposed to be defined

Well, your log indicates it seems to be loading hyperref (and, in particular,
/usr/share/texmf/tex/latex/hyperref/hyperref.sty), version 6.74m, from 2003. 
The config file (also found) has a 2002 version date.  That's not the latest
version, so maybe you're not using what you installed -- or, worse yet, you've
got a hybrid of old and new versions??

Your log shows hyperref loading a little earlier than mine does, but what loads
before it in mine and after it in yours looks pretty harmless to me.  The one
other major discrepancy between our logs is that yours indicates some ConTeXT
macros are loading where mine does not:

(/usr/share/texmf/tex/context/base/supp-pdf.tex
(/usr/share/texmf/tex/context/base/supp-mis.tex
loading : Context Support Macros / Miscellaneous (2004.10.26)

Dunno if that would muck things up.  I think I'd try straightening out the
questions about hyperref first.  The latest release comes as .ins and .dtx
files, although there's supposed to be a .zip version somewhere or other.  If
you grabbed the .dtx and .ins files, did you run 'tex hyperref.ins' to generate
the .sty file(s), and then distribute stuff around your TDS tree?  (And did you
texhash it?)

Re: Drag and drop text support on Lyx 1.6.6.1

[Marcelo Acuña]

  It is not possible to drag-and-drop text (just by
 selecting it with
  mouse pointer) like other text processors i.e.
 OpenWriter. Do you know
  when this feature will be added to lyx? I think that
 it will be very
  useful for many users. It will be great if this option
 is available for
  equation editing as well. Up to now I used copy and
 paste shortcuts.

 I can't see any advantages for mouse drag-and-drop text against copy and paste 
with shortcuts.

Marcelo

code in programlisting box goes over the right edge

[Wadim]

I am not sure what is the right name of this box in english because i am
using the german version of LYX. It is the box where you type in program
code. I have inserted this box in my document and written stuff into it. In
Lyx everything looks fine, but when I convert to pdf the longer lines of
code go beyond the right edge of the page. Is there any way to fix this
other than making those lines shorter by hand?

Re: Memo template

[Kevin Foster]

That was more than helpful.  The organization-specific aspect hadn't
occurred to me, and of course makes sense.  As a graduate student I like to
create a lot of memos for research notes, homework assignments, etc. but
they are all in-house so formatting doesn't matter greatly.

Cheers and thanks for your time!

 thing right?)


 No.  Layouts tell LyX how to handle document classes (mainly how to display
 them, what environments to allow, etc., with some ability to customize the
 document class within the layout file).  Templates are prefab fill in the
 blanks documents.  Essentially, a template is just an ordinary LyX
 document.  If you open it with File  Open, you can edit it.  If you choose
 File  New from Template and select that document, LyX opens it but with a
 different file name (the generic newfile#.lyx name), so that you won't
 accidentally overwrite it if you make changes and do a save operation.

  is surprisingly sparse given LyX's enthusiastic user
 base... as several previous commenters on this list have noted, the
 absence of a simple memo template is a shame. This thread
 http://www.mail-archive.com/lyx-users@lists.lyx.org/msg28646.html sums
 it up best.


 I haven't read the thread, but I'm not particularly surprised -- memos
 frequently need to observe some formatting rules/preferences established by
 the author's organization (e.g., first page on the organization's
 letterhead).


 Are there many layouts out there elsewhere on the site that I'm missing?
  Do I just have to read the documentation and create my own layout?


 Unless you have to do something funky, it's a lot easier to create a
 template than to create a layout -- a layout makes sense mostly if you have
 tracked down a third party LaTeX document class (or created your own).

 If you want to create something fancy, you might start with
 http://www.ctan.org/tex-archive/help/Catalogue/bytopic.html#letters.
 Search for memo (sadly having to skip over quite a few hits on memoir)
 and see if anything tickles your fancy.


   I
 recognize that it's not a very difficult process, but for new users it
 would be nice if more shared layouts were on the wiki.  Of course i'm
 happy to post whatever i come up with once i figure it out... just
 surprised there aren't memo layouts up already :)


 My guess is that memo layouts (as opposed to templates) will be highly
 customized to the user's environment (and preferences).  I'm attaching a
 bare bones, plain paper memo template I use for within-office,
 don't-sweat-the-letterhead stuff.  Change my name to your (or whatever
 pseudonym you want to use), futz with choice of language, paper size,
 preferred fonts etc. in Document  Settings, and save it someplace. Then use
 File  New from Template to load a copy of it and memo away.

 HTH,
 Paul

  Of course, I still don't have the internal links, but that might be

ftp down - Windows installer not working!

[Nigel Arnot]

The ftp server(?) is down. The mirrors may be up, but the lyx installer 
(lyx-1.6.6-1-Installer.exe) is not using the mirrors for loading aspell. 
At that point (downloading aspell6-en-6.0.0.exe) it waits a bit, says 
connection failed, and offers a choice between cancelling or trying 
again. Try again is useless, cancel completes a Lyx installation with 
spell check greyed out.


Like this for at least a day now. Please can someone fix the aspell 
download server that the above installer uses?


Also does anyone know how to tell Lyx installed after cancelling aspell 
download to use an instance of aspell separately installed?

glossaries and export

[Steven Bell]

I am attempting to use the glossaries package with LyX, and have had only
partial success. I've put the appropriate ERT into my document and created a
short makefile which exports the LyX document to TeX and runs pdflatex and
makeindex to generate the final pdf.  This works well, but I would like a
solution that doesn't produce quite as much clutter.
Obviously there is built-in support for the nomencl package, but that
appears to not have been updated in the last 5 years or so (
http://www.ctan.org/tex-archive/macros/latex/contrib/nomencl/) and it
doesn't appear to do what I'm currently doing with glossaries.

Is there a way for me to export the LyX document (and the included images)
to a separate directory, the same way I would create a build subdirectory
when compiling software?  Right now, it just appears that lyx -e pdflatex
just creates files in the directories where the source files are.

Even better, is there a way to have LyX run makeindex and makeglossaries for
me, and produce the final pdf without the makefile?

I've been using LyX 1.6.5 and svn trunk.

Thanks,
Steven

Yes, you are.  Beamer loads it automatically.


The location of the 'undefined control

entered in the text) is not highlighted. I've attached the .log file and
would appreciate someone showing me just where the error occurs and what
fixes it.


Might have something to do with the problem mentioned here: 
http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=452333.  Your log says 
you're loading v6.74m of hyperref (the post mentions 6.75p).  FWIW, I 
just compiled a beamer doc on my Windoze PC (MiKTeX), and I'm loading 
v6.81e (dated 2010/05/13).  So maybe an update of your hyperref package 
might fix it?  I do have a warning in my log:



Package hyperref Warning: Option `pdfpagelabels' is turned off
(hyperref)because \thepage is undefined.

Hyperref stopped early
)


as well as the apparently harmless


Package hyperref Warning: Option `pdfauthor' has already been used,
(hyperref)setting the option has no effect on input line 57.



later in the log.

(I'm also using beamer 3.07A, versus your using 3.08; don't know if that

Dunno if that helps.

Re: Memo template

Hello all,

I've very new to LyX and somewhat new to LaTeX.  Can anyone comment on
the existence of memo templates?  The selection of user-created
templates http://wiki.lyx.org/Layouts/Layouts i found (layouts? same
thing right?)


No.  Layouts tell LyX how to handle document classes (mainly how to 
display them, what environments to allow, etc., with some ability to 
customize the document class within the layout file).  Templates are 
prefab fill in the blanks documents.  Essentially, a template is just 
an ordinary LyX document.  If you open it with File  Open, you can edit 
it.  If you choose File  New from Template and select that document, 
LyX opens it but with a different file name (the generic 
newfile#.lyx name), so that you won't accidentally overwrite it if 
you make changes and do a save operation.



is surprisingly sparse given LyX's enthusiastic user
base... as several previous commenters on this list have noted, the
absence of a simple memo template is a shame. This thread
http://www.mail-archive.com/lyx-users@lists.lyx.org/msg28646.html sums
it up best.


I haven't read the thread, but I'm not particularly surprised -- memos 
frequently need to observe some formatting rules/preferences established 
by the author's organization (e.g., first page on the organization's 
letterhead).


Are there many layouts out there elsewhere on the site that I'm missing?
  Do I just have to read the documentation and create my own layout?


Unless you have to do something funky, it's a lot easier to create a 
template than to create a layout -- a layout makes sense mostly if you 
have tracked down a third party LaTeX document class (or created your own).


If you want to create something fancy, you might start with 
http://www.ctan.org/tex-archive/help/Catalogue/bytopic.html#letters. 
Search for memo (sadly having to skip over quite a few hits on 
memoir) and see if anything tickles your fancy.



 I
recognize that it's not a very difficult process, but for new users it
would be nice if more shared layouts were on the wiki.  Of course i'm
happy to post whatever i come up with once i figure it out... just
surprised there aren't memo layouts up already :)


My guess is that memo layouts (as opposed to templates) will be highly 
customized to the user's environment (and preferences).  I'm attaching a 
bare bones, plain paper memo template I use for within-office, 
don't-sweat-the-letterhead stuff.  Change my name to your (or whatever 
pseudonym you want to use), futz with choice of language, paper size, 
preferred fonts etc. in Document  Settings, and save it someplace. 
Then use File  New from Template to load a copy of it and memo away.


HTH,
Paul

range from January through June of this year.

(I'm also using beamer 3.07A, versus your using 3.08; don't know if that

  This is interesting: the log says the version of beamer is 3.08A while the
download directory says it's 3.09. Regardless, the new hyperref version does
not have the .sty and .cfg files that the document is seeking. Searching
CTAN shows no hyperref.sty to be found. Something's still outdated and I'm
not seeing it.

  New log file attached, perhaps a fresh pair of eyes will see it.

Drag and drop text support on Lyx 1.6.6.1

[Jose A. Rodrigo]

Hi!!

First of all congratulations for this useful program and brilliant project!!

It is not possible to drag-and-drop text (just by selecting it with 
mouse pointer) like other text processors i.e. OpenWriter. Do you know 
when this feature will be added to lyx? I think that it will be very 
useful for many users. It will be great if this option is available for 
equation editing as well. Up to now I used copy and paste shortcuts.



Many thanks!
Jose

If you all do implement this feature, please include a switch to turn it off. 
Personally I'd prefer it be turned off by default, and if it's turned on by 
default, please widely publicize the change.

The way I work, dragging and dropping of text is a sure way to garble a 
document.

The ./ (dot slash) is important. It tells your shell to execute the file 
from the current folder. If you get an error again, make sure the file 
is present by doing


ls

which should list the files in the current folder. If you copied the LyX 
source files correctly, you should see autogen.sh in there.

Is \makebeamertitle defined? It should get defined by the layout file, 
but I suppose you could be using a custom layout or something.


You can try in the preamble:

\newcommand\makebeamertitle{\frame{\maketitle}}

Otherwise the usual approach applies here: make a minimal example file

So, once I remove the empty Section, it compiles.

Along the way, I had to install some fonts. (installed

Either or both of the above might help fixing your problem.

Had to add some verbiage to the Section header and an EndFrame to close it off,
but after that it compiled fine for me (this time on my laptop, Mint Helena
w/TeXLive 2007, beamer 3.07, hyperref 6.75r).  I see Julien also got it to
compile.  I'm pasting in the hacked version below if you want to try it on your
end. (Check that the somewhat challenged web interface to GMANE didn't screw up

Sorry, I meant that I was using GMANE to post my reply.  GMANE's web interface

Paul,

  Both source .tex and .log are attached.

  While the newest hyperref package does not include all the files of the
earlier versions and throws a warning, the error that halts compilation of
the file is \makebeamertitle.

  After seeing complaints in an earlier log file about hyperref I downloaded
and installed the latest version from CTAN. There are no .sty or .cfg files
for hyperref in the latest release.

(/usr/share/texmf/tex/context/base/supp-pdf.tex
(/usr/share/texmf/tex/context/base/supp-mis.tex

Dunno if that would muck things up.  I think I'd try straightening out the
questions about hyperref first.  The latest release comes as .ins and .dtx
files, although there's supposed to be a .zip version somewhere or other.  If
you grabbed the .dtx and .ins files, did you run 'tex hyperref.ins' to generate
the .sty file(s), and then distribute stuff around your TDS tree?  (And did you
texhash it?)

Re: Drag and drop text support on Lyx 1.6.6.1

[Marcelo Acuña]

  It is not possible to drag-and-drop text (just by
 selecting it with
  mouse pointer) like other text processors i.e.
 OpenWriter. Do you know
  when this feature will be added to lyx? I think that
 it will be very
  useful for many users. It will be great if this option
 is available for
  equation editing as well. Up to now I used copy and
 paste shortcuts.

 I can't see any advantages for mouse drag-and-drop text against copy and paste 
with shortcuts.

code in programlisting box goes over the right edge

[Wadim]

I am not sure what is the right name of this box in english because i am
using the german version of LYX. It is the box where you type in program
code. I have inserted this box in my document and written stuff into it. In
Lyx everything looks fine, but when I convert to pdf the longer lines of
code go beyond the right edge of the page. Is there any way to fix this
other than making those lines shorter by hand?

Re: Memo template

[Kevin Foster]

That was more than helpful.  The organization-specific aspect hadn't
occurred to me, and of course makes sense.  As a graduate student I like to
create a lot of memos for research notes, homework assignments, etc. but
they are all in-house so formatting doesn't matter greatly.

Cheers and thanks for your time!

 Hello all,

 I've very new to LyX and somewhat new to LaTeX.  Can anyone comment on
 the existence of memo templates?  The selection of user-created
 templates http://wiki.lyx.org/Layouts/Layouts i found (layouts? same
 thing right?)


 No.  Layouts tell LyX how to handle document classes (mainly how to display
 them, what environments to allow, etc., with some ability to customize the
 document class within the layout file).  Templates are prefab fill in the
 blanks documents.  Essentially, a template is just an ordinary LyX
 document.  If you open it with File  Open, you can edit it.  If you choose
 File  New from Template and select that document, LyX opens it but with a
 different file name (the generic newfile#.lyx name), so that you won't
 accidentally overwrite it if you make changes and do a save operation.

  is surprisingly sparse given LyX's enthusiastic user
 base... as several previous commenters on this list have noted, the
 absence of a simple memo template is a shame. This thread
 http://www.mail-archive.com/lyx-users@lists.lyx.org/msg28646.html sums
 it up best.


 I haven't read the thread, but I'm not particularly surprised -- memos
 frequently need to observe some formatting rules/preferences established by
 the author's organization (e.g., first page on the organization's
 letterhead).


 Are there many layouts out there elsewhere on the site that I'm missing?
  Do I just have to read the documentation and create my own layout?


 Unless you have to do something funky, it's a lot easier to create a
 template than to create a layout -- a layout makes sense mostly if you have
 tracked down a third party LaTeX document class (or created your own).

 If you want to create something fancy, you might start with
 http://www.ctan.org/tex-archive/help/Catalogue/bytopic.html#letters.
 Search for memo (sadly having to skip over quite a few hits on memoir)
 and see if anything tickles your fancy.


   I
 recognize that it's not a very difficult process, but for new users it
 would be nice if more shared layouts were on the wiki.  Of course i'm
 happy to post whatever i come up with once i figure it out... just
 surprised there aren't memo layouts up already :)


 My guess is that memo layouts (as opposed to templates) will be highly
 customized to the user's environment (and preferences).  I'm attaching a
 bare bones, plain paper memo template I use for within-office,
 don't-sweat-the-letterhead stuff.  Change my name to your (or whatever
 pseudonym you want to use), futz with choice of language, paper size,
 preferred fonts etc. in Document  Settings, and save it someplace. Then use
 File  New from Template to load a copy of it and memo away.

 HTH,
 Paul

  After a long, tedious process I discovered that a) I needed all the
oberdiek macros and 2) it took a couple of tries before the complete TDS
version downloaded. Built and installed that, rebuilt the texmf directory
tree, and all is good. That is, it builds.

  Of course, I still don't have the internal links, but that might be
corrected with a current theme. (Several themes have been dropped or
renamed; perhaps that's the problem here.)

Thanks, Alan and Marcelo.

I did now in my /lyx-devel a
svn update  

and from http://www.lyx.org/HowToUseSVN
6. Compiling the source

I am supposed to do:

If you want to compile and run the development module, things are somewhat 
more complicated than for the release module. You're going to need automake, 
autoconf, and gettext, which can be downloaded from your favorite GNU ftp 
site. (Start at gnu.org to find a mirror.) Once you've installed all of that 
stuff, just run the autogen.sh script written by Allan Rae, which will do 
things in the right order, and then tell you to run configure and make. 

Where would I find the autogen.sh script written by Allan Rae?

apt-get install autogen

You might like to use Synaptic which is a GUI interface to apt-get. Or
aptitude in a terminal. Either one makes life a lot easier.

Let us know how you go.

Memo template

[Kevin Foster]

Hello all,

I've very new to LyX and somewhat new to LaTeX.  Can anyone comment on the
existence of memo templates?  The selection of user-created
templates i
found (layouts? same thing right?) is surprisingly sparse given LyX's
enthusiastic user base... as several previous commenters on this list have
noted, the absence of a simple "memo" template is a shame. This
thread
sums
it up best.

Are there many layouts out there elsewhere on the site that I'm missing?  Do
I just have to read the documentation and create my own layout?  I recognize
that it's not a very difficult process, but for new users it would be nice
if more shared layouts were on the wiki.  Of course i'm happy to post
whatever i come up with once i figure it out... just surprised there aren't
memo layouts up already :)

Best regards,
Kevin

ftp down -> Windows installer not working!

[Nigel Arnot]

The ftp server(?) is down. The mirrors may be up, but the lyx installer 
(lyx-1.6.6-1-Installer.exe) is not using the mirrors for loading aspell. 
At that point (downloading aspell6-en-6.0.0.exe) it waits a bit, says 
"connection failed", and offers a choice between cancelling or trying 
again. Try again is useless, cancel completes a Lyx installation with 
spell check greyed out.


Like this for at least a day now. Please can someone fix the aspell 
download server that the above installer uses?


Also does anyone know how to tell Lyx installed after cancelling aspell 
download to use an instance of aspell separately installed?

glossaries and export

[Steven Bell]

I am attempting to use the glossaries package with LyX, and have had only
partial success. I've put the appropriate ERT into my document and created a
short makefile which exports the LyX document to TeX and runs pdflatex and
makeindex to generate the final pdf.  This works well, but I would like a
solution that doesn't produce quite as much clutter.
Obviously there is built-in support for the nomencl package, but that
appears to not have been updated in the last 5 years or so (
http://www.ctan.org/tex-archive/macros/latex/contrib/nomencl/) and it
doesn't appear to do what I'm currently doing with glossaries.

Is there a way for me to export the LyX document (and the included images)
to a separate directory, the same way I would create a build subdirectory
when compiling software?  Right now, it just appears that "lyx -e pdflatex"
just creates files in the directories where the source files are.

Even better, is there a way to have LyX run makeindex and makeglossaries for
me, and produce the final pdf without the makefile?

I've been using LyX 1.6.5 and svn trunk.

Thanks,
Steven

The installer is for convenience, mainly. Why not install aspell
manually [1], and then reconfigure LyX?

Hello,

I recently installed lyx on my computer. When I try to launch the spelling

What can I do ?

as well as the apparently harmless

Dunno if that helps.

No.  Layouts tell LyX how to handle document classes (mainly how to 
display them, what environments to allow, etc., with some ability to 
customize the document class within the layout file).  Templates are 
prefab "fill in the blanks" documents.  Essentially, a template is just 
an ordinary LyX document.  If you open it with File > Open, you can edit 
it.  If you choose File > New from Template and select that document, 
LyX opens it but with a different file name (the generic 
"newfile<#>.lyx" name), so that you won't accidentally overwrite it if 
you make changes and do a save operation.



is surprisingly sparse given LyX's enthusiastic user
base... as several previous commenters on this list have noted, the
absence of a simple "memo" template is a shame. This thread

it up best.


I haven't read the thread, but I'm not particularly surprised -- memos 
frequently need to observe some formatting rules/preferences established 
by the author's organization (e.g., first page on the organization's 
letterhead).


Are there many layouts out there elsewhere on the site that I'm missing?
  Do I just have to read the documentation and create my own layout?


Unless you have to do something funky, it's a lot easier to create a 
template than to create a layout -- a layout makes sense mostly if you 
have tracked down a third party LaTeX document class (or created your own).


If you want to create something fancy, you might start with 
http://www.ctan.org/tex-archive/help/Catalogue/bytopic.html#letters. 
Search for "memo" (sadly having to skip over quite a few hits on 
"memoir") and see if anything tickles your fancy.



 I
recognize that it's not a very difficult process, but for new users it
would be nice if more shared layouts were on the wiki.  Of course i'm
happy to post whatever i come up with once i figure it out... just

My guess is that memo layouts (as opposed to templates) will be highly 
customized to the user's environment (and preferences).  I'm attaching a 
bare bones, plain paper memo template I use for within-office, 
don't-sweat-the-letterhead stuff.  Change my name to your (or whatever 
pseudonym you want to use), futz with choice of language, paper size, 
preferred fonts etc. in Document > Settings, and save it someplace. 
Then use File > New from Template to load a copy of it and memo away.


HTH,
Paul

  This is interesting: the log says the version of beamer is 3.08A while the

not have the .sty and .cfg files that the document is seeking. Searching
CTAN shows no hyperref.sty to be found. Something's still outdated and I'm
not seeing it.

  New log file attached, perhaps a fresh pair of eyes will see it.

I had done this, but I was mislead by 
"just run the autogen.sh script" in the 6. Compiling advice ... cited above

experienced people would have know that one has to run 
autogen 
and not autogen.sh

running autogen in ~/lyx-devel was not a good idea either, since

wolfg...@wolfgang:~/lyx-devel$ autogen
cd '/home/wolfgang/lyx-devel'
cd '/home/wolfgang/lyx-devel'

so one level up
wolfg...@wolfgang:~$ autogen
cd '/home/wolfgang/lyx-devel'

and now I am waiting ...

either I did again something wrong, or it takes quite some time.
Is there a way to get messages about what is going on in the background?

Drag and drop text support on Lyx 1.6.6.1

[Jose A. Rodrigo]

Hi!!

First of all congratulations for this useful program and brilliant project!!

It is not possible to drag-and-drop text (just by selecting it with 
mouse pointer) like other text processors i.e. OpenWriter. Do you know 
when this feature will be added to lyx? I think that it will be very 
useful for many users. It will be great if this option is available for 
equation editing as well. Up to now I used copy and paste shortcuts.



Many thanks!
Jose

If you all do implement this feature, please include a switch to turn it off. 
Personally I'd prefer it be turned off by default, and if it's turned on by 
default, please widely publicize the change.

The way I work, dragging and dropping of text is a sure way to garble a 
document.

autogen.sh is correct, not autogen. The complete procedure is:

cd ~/lyx-devel
./autogen.sh
./configure
make

optionally you would also run:

sudo make install
