Re: LyX 1.6.7 not saving document

[Mukhtar Ullah]

 
 Tennessee,
 Thank you for your response. I forgot to mention that I also tried the
 AltInstaller and had the same problem. The preview and export functions
 work but
 saving in the native lyx format is not working.
 
 

Dear LyX Folks,
The news is not good for me. By switching back to LyX 1.6.7, I was optimistic
that I wait for future versions. Today I tried LyX 2.0Alpha5-4-4 and it is the
exact same problem. I hope I don't have to spend the rest of my life with LyX
1.6.6.1 and not being able to use later versions.
Any help is highly appreciated.

LyX 1.6.7

[Mukhtar Ullah]

Dear LyX users and developers,
I am facing serious issues with LyX 1.6.7 (both installers) on Windows x64.
Nothing happens when you hit (or use the keyboard short-cut for) the following:

File - Open
File - Save
File - Save As
File - Import
File - New From Template

I experience this same issue with LyX 2.0.0Alpha. The previous version 1.6.6
works fine.

Can anyone confirm this behavior? Would be great if someone could help me out.

Also sprach Frederick Noronha:
 Thanks Jürgen Spitzmüller. Here goes... as attachment.

The page number is there, but it has fallen off the page.

IOW, Your custom paper and margin settings cut off the outer margin and hence 
the page number. I suppose memoir is not playing well with geometry, which is 
used by LyX for margin and paper adjustment.

I suggest you set paper size and margins back to default and adjust the page 
with memoir's own means instead (see the memoir manual, chapter 2, for 
details.

Here is what I do to change the line spacing in memoir to a fraction less
than the standard 12pt:

% Setting up the page
%
% change the baselineskip to the publisher's desire of 11.7280 by
% multiplying the default baselineskip of 12pt by their ratio
% Then set to Single space to have it take effect
\setSingleSpace{0.9773}
\SingleSpace
%

It comes straight from the excellent memoir manual.


Changing the default point size to a fractional size may be trickier. At
least according to the manual. (check sec 1.2)

Hi Uwe.
I need a slightly more sophisticated formatting of endnotes than what you
describe in the manual. The edited book I am working on has all endnotes at
the back, grouped by chapter. Every  block of endnotes begins with a heading
like Notes for chapter X.  I suppose I could do it by hand, but I wanted
to somewhat automatize the procedure. This is what the code is supposed to
do. I am not a Latex expert by any means, I just copied it from the memoir
manual where the exact result I need is described. It worked fine until I
ran into the problem with the accent-aigu e I mentioned.
I will ask on the tex list. Hopefully the memoir maintainer will take a
look.

Thanks for taking a look.


Cheers,

S.

I am using Lyx 1.6.5 in WinXp. I found a strange behavior when Lyx converts

math package. I have compiled one with PDF hyperref support enabled using
Document-Settings-PDF Properties to produce document Example1.pdf (left
side), and uncheck the hyperref support to produce Example2.pdf (right
side). Every other setups are exactly the same. Strangely, Example1.pdf has
extra space between equations like (2.5)-(2.6), (2.7)-(2.8), etc.


You found a bug in the LaTeX-package hyperref or the package amsmath:

Take the attached LyX file and you get the problem you described. To fix 
this, there are 3 possibilities:


either
- delete the document class option fleqn
  (in Document Settings - Document Class)
or
- remove the document preamble line \newtheorem{thm}{Theorem}
or
- remove the document preamble line \usepackage{hyperref}
or
- uncheck the option Use AMS math package
  (in Document Settings - Math Options)

It took me some time to track down the problem and I'm still not sure 
what package is causing it.
I'll report this now as bug in the hyperref package and report back what

use its latex package manager. As a result I've had to install any latex
related programs (LyX, kile, etc) from source to prevent apt from
installing its own version of TexLive.

I don't particularly mind having to manage latex related programs

Unfortunately, it does.  I simply made a few (very minor) modifications 
to the existing debian package and then submitted it to the Launchpad 
build service.  I did not change the package requirements.


However, Ubuntu updated the version of LaTeX to TeXLive 2009 in 10.04.  
If you're using an older version of Ubuntu, it is possible to have 
multiple versions of TeX installed side by side.  This article explains 
how (even though the instructions use Ubuntu 10.04 as an example, they 
work with older versions as well):


http://blog.oak-tree.us/index.php/2010/07/15/latex-custom

If you object to that, it's also possible to create dummy packages, 
though that is more involved:


http://texblog.net/latex-archive/linux/kile-texlive-2008-equivs/

If you've already been installing from source, though, you may wish to 
continue with that.  It makes updating to newer versions significantly 
easier, and it sounds as though you've already made the initial time 
investment (which is what I find killer).


Cheers,

Rob

Is it your short-cut, which is not working (in this case you may have own

Or are also the menu-entries not working?
You may help us to also with the output of

Try to send only relevant part, that is output created before the shortcut is

 Thanks Jürgen Spitzmüller. Here goes... as attachment.

The page number is there, but it has fallen off the page.

IOW, Your custom paper and margin settings cut off the outer margin and hence 
the page number. I suppose memoir is not playing well with geometry, which is 
used by LyX for margin and paper adjustment.

I suggest you set paper size and margins back to default and adjust the page 
with memoir's own means instead (see the memoir manual, chapter 2, for

Here is what I do to change the line spacing in memoir to a fraction less
than the standard 12pt:

% Setting up the page
%
% change the baselineskip to the publisher's desire of 11.7280 by
% multiplying the default baselineskip of 12pt by their ratio
% Then set to Single space to have it take effect
\setSingleSpace{0.9773}
\SingleSpace
%

It comes straight from the excellent memoir manual.


Changing the default point size to a fractional size may be trickier. At
least according to the manual. (check sec 1.2)

Hi Uwe.
I need a slightly more sophisticated formatting of endnotes than what you
describe in the manual. The edited book I am working on has all endnotes at
the back, grouped by chapter. Every  block of endnotes begins with a heading
like Notes for chapter X.  I suppose I could do it by hand, but I wanted
to somewhat automatize the procedure. This is what the code is supposed to
do. I am not a Latex expert by any means, I just copied it from the memoir
manual where the exact result I need is described. It worked fine until I
ran into the problem with the accent-aigu e I mentioned.
I will ask on the tex list. Hopefully the memoir maintainer will take a
look.

Thanks for taking a look.


Cheers,

S.

You found a bug in the LaTeX-package hyperref or the package amsmath:

 Packages have been compiled and are available from Launchpad as of this

 For users of Lucid Lynx (10.04) who would like to upgrade, I have created a

Does this new LyX package depend on the the TexLive in Ubuntu's
repositories? Ubuntu's version of TexLive was out-of-date for a long
time, so I installed TexLive 2009 directly from its net installer, to
use its latex package manager. As a result I've had to install any latex
related programs (LyX, kile, etc) from source to prevent apt from
installing its own version of TexLive.

I don't particularly mind having to manage latex related programs
manually, but it would be nice if apt could manage LyX without forcing
me to use Ubuntu's TexLive.

 Hi Fareed,

use its latex package manager. As a result I've had to install any latex
related programs (LyX, kile, etc) from source to prevent apt from
installing its own version of TexLive.
Unfortunately, it does.  I simply made a few (very minor) modifications 
to the existing debian package and then submitted it to the Launchpad 
build service.  I did not change the package requirements.


However, Ubuntu updated the version of LaTeX to TeXLive 2009 in 10.04.  
If you're using an older version of Ubuntu, it is possible to have 
multiple versions of TeX installed side by side.  This article explains 
how (even though the instructions use Ubuntu 10.04 as an example, they 
work with older versions as well):


http://blog.oak-tree.us/index.php/2010/07/15/latex-custom

If you object to that, it's also possible to create dummy packages, 
though that is more involved:


http://texblog.net/latex-archive/linux/kile-texlive-2008-equivs/

If you've already been installing from source, though, you may wish to 
continue with that.  It makes updating to newer versions significantly 
easier, and it sounds as though you've already made the initial time 
investment (which is what I find killer).


Cheers,

Rob

Kornel,
Thanks for your response. I don't have any personal key bindings. It is a fresh
installation. Neither the menu-entries (GUI) nor the short-cuts work.
Interestingly other functions like File->New, File->Export, File->Close ... work
just fine.

installed.

The page number is there, but it has fallen off the page.

IOW, Your custom paper and margin settings cut off the outer margin and hence 
the page number. I suppose memoir is not playing well with geometry, which is 
used by LyX for margin and paper adjustment.

I suggest you set paper size and margins back to default and adjust the page 
with memoir's own means instead (see the memoir manual, chapter 2, for 
details.

Here is what I do to change the line spacing in memoir to a fraction less
than the standard 12pt:

% Setting up the page
%
% change the baselineskip to the publisher's desire of 11.7280 by
% multiplying the default baselineskip of 12pt by their ratio
% Then set to Single space to have it take effect
\setSingleSpace{0.9773}
\SingleSpace
%

It comes straight from the excellent memoir manual.


Changing the default point size to a fractional size may be trickier. At
least according to the manual. (check sec 1.2)

I guess you want to have endnotes instead of footnotes. If so, have a

Hi Uwe.
I need a slightly more sophisticated formatting of endnotes than what you
describe in the manual. The edited book I am working on has all endnotes at
the back, grouped by chapter. Every  block of endnotes begins with a heading
like "Notes for chapter X."  I suppose I could do it by hand, but I wanted
to somewhat automatize the procedure. This is what the code is supposed to
do. I am not a Latex expert by any means, I just copied it from the memoir
manual where the exact result I need is described. It worked fine until I
ran into the problem with the accent-aigu e I mentioned.
I will ask on the tex list. Hopefully the memoir maintainer will take a
look.

Thanks for taking a look.


Cheers,

S.

Re: PDF compile strange behavior

Am 14.08.2010 17:55, schrieb Byung-Joo Lee:


I am using Lyx 1.6.5 in WinXp. I found a strange behavior when Lyx converts
documents into pdf files. I am using document style book (koma) with AMS
math package. I have compiled one with PDF hyperref support enabled using
Document->Settings->PDF Properties to produce document Example1.pdf (left
side), and uncheck the hyperref support to produce Example2.pdf (right
side). Every other setups are exactly the same. Strangely, Example1.pdf has
extra space between equations like (2.5)-(2.6), (2.7)-(2.8), etc.


You found a bug in the LaTeX-package hyperref or the package amsmath:

Take the attached LyX file and you get the problem you described. To fix 
this, there are 3 possibilities:


either
- delete the document class option "fleqn"
  (in Document Settings -> Document Class)
or
- remove the document preamble line "\newtheorem{thm}{Theorem}"
or
- remove the document preamble line "\usepackage{hyperref}"
or
- uncheck the option "Use AMS math package"
  (in Document Settings -> Math Options)

It took me some time to track down the problem and I'm still not sure 
what package is causing it.
I'll report this now as bug in the hyperref package and report back what 
the hyperref maintainer replied.

I cannot reproduce this. I'm developing the alternative Windows

I assume that your installation is broken and therefore propose that you:

1. uninstall LyX _completely_
2. also uninstall all older LyX versions
3. check in the registry that there are no entries from LyX
4. log off from Windows then log on again as admin
5. reinstall LyX 1.6.7 using the small version of my alternative Windows 
installer: http://wiki.lyx.org/Windows/LyXWinInstaller


Does it then work?

Does this new LyX package depend on the the TexLive in Ubuntu's
repositories? Ubuntu's version of TexLive was out-of-date for a long
time, so I installed TexLive 2009 directly from its net installer, to
use its latex package manager. As a result I've had to install any latex
related programs (LyX, kile, etc) from source to prevent apt from
installing its own version of TexLive.

I don't particularly mind having to manage latex related programs
manually, but it would be nice if apt could manage LyX without forcing
me to use Ubuntu's TexLive.

Re: LyX 1.6.7 Packages for Ubuntu

 Hi Fareed,

Does this new LyX package depend on the the TexLive in Ubuntu's
repositories? Ubuntu's version of TexLive was out-of-date for a long
time, so I installed TexLive 2009 directly from its net installer, to
use its latex package manager. As a result I've had to install any latex
related programs (LyX, kile, etc) from source to prevent apt from
installing its own version of TexLive.
Unfortunately, it does.  I simply made a few (very minor) modifications 
to the existing debian package and then submitted it to the Launchpad 
build service.  I did not change the package requirements.


However, Ubuntu updated the version of LaTeX to TeXLive 2009 in 10.04.  
If you're using an older version of Ubuntu, it is possible to have 
multiple versions of TeX installed side by side.  This article explains 
how (even though the instructions use Ubuntu 10.04 as an example, they 
work with older versions as well):


http://blog.oak-tree.us/index.php/2010/07/15/latex-custom

If you object to that, it's also possible to create dummy packages, 
though that is more involved:


http://texblog.net/latex-archive/linux/kile-texlive-2008-equivs/

If you've already been installing from source, though, you may wish to 
continue with that.  It makes updating to newer versions significantly 
easier, and it sounds as though you've already made the initial time 
investment (which is what I find killer).


Cheers,

Rob
