Any hint at all when these were happening?
OK, re-upgraded to RC3 and crashes seem to happen when I delete certain 
tables within a branch. I get the message: Lyx has caught an exception, 
it will attempt to save all unsaved documents and exit. Exception: 
basic_string::_S_create. Richard, I can e-mail you the offending file.
The other issue (the main one that made me downgrade), I have a 
document which previously rendered as PDF (using latex2pdf) which now 
suddenly complains that latex cannot determine image size (no 
bounding box). Unfortunately, this problem has persisted after 
downgrading, so I might have been wrong in assuming that it was the 
upgrade that caused the error.


This is usually because LaTeX cannot find the image. Are you sure it 
is still there? (Silly question, perhaps, but I had this very problem 
recently.)
Images are still there, but will try replacing relative paths with 
absolute paths. Note that I have no problems when rendering as PS and 
then converting to PDF.

import tex error

2011-04-23 Thread Sebastian Krämer

Hi there!

I'm getting an error when I try to import a tex source file to lyx:

 Cannot convert file
 An error occurred whilst running  -f 'ml1_3.tex' 'ml1_3.lyx'

If however I do the convertion with the tex2lyx1.6 script, a lyx file is
created successfully.

I'm using latest svn (r38473) from 1_6_X branch, running the lyx binary
via script which calls
~/src/lyx-svn/build/bin/lyx1.6 -sysdir ~/src/lyx-svn/lib $@
(I do that because I don't want to install this self-compiled lyx
version system-wide. There appears to be something missing with the
package that cpack creates but that's another issue.)

If interested, I can provide the tex file.

Is this a bug?

But you can bind script-insert subscript and script-insert superscript to 
any free key combination in that dialog (hit New below right)

 Yes, that's an includeonly issue. Supposed that you run LyX 2.0, go to 
 Document  Settings  Child Documents in the master and select the

For includeonly, you will need to compile the master (View  View/Update 
Master, if you're in a child document).

 You will need to select maintain counters and references (at least on
 the  first run) to get the numbers right.

If you put the following into the master's preamble, you don't need to select 
maintain counters and references, if you just want to have sort of, but 
not 100% exact counters. This assures all auxiliary files are generated once 
(on the first run), but only updates the included file's aux files later (and 
thus speeds up compilation):

Sounds like it. There have been changes in tex2lyx since 1.6.

What would really be helpful is if you could provide a MINIMAL file that 
causes the problem. I.e., erase as much as you can until you don't get 
it any more. Then we'll actually know what the issue is.


You might open a bug on the bug tracker and attach that file.

Dear LyX team,

I have some problem. About one month ago I had a problem with the
Russian language and I have sent the question, but I have not received
an answer yet. The solution of the problem is very important for me.
Could you help me? I am forwarding you the message again. And I would

problem.

In the version lyx 2.0rc3 the Spell-checking on the fly was
announced, but I can not start it. Could you tell me what should I do
to make it work.

In the version lyx 2.0rc3 I start Spell-checking (F7) for the simple
Russian sentence Что делаешь? (which means What are you doing?) and it
suggests me to change the word Что to the word То. I am sure that
the word Что does exist. I have set the language of the document to
Russian and in the version lyx 1.6 everything works. Could you tell me
how can I get the same functionality of Spell-checking?

lyx + bibtex: title in lowercase

2011-04-23 Thread Igor Kvasnicka


Hi,
I have a strange problem and I don't know, if it is problem because of 
Lyx or Bibtex


My bibtex entry looks like this:

@STANDARD{rfc974,
  title = {RFC 974: Mail routing and the domain system},
  organization = {Network Working Group},
  institution = {CSNET CIC BBN Laboratories Inc},
  author = {Craig Partridge},
  month = {January},
  year = {1986},
  url = {http://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc974}
}

notice, that the title has got capital RFC in it...

and now, when I compile it with lyx, the result looks like:
[27] Craig Partridge. Rfc 974: Mail routing and the domain system, 
January 1986.


notice, that there is Rfc instead of RFC

is there any way, how to configure lyx not to lowercase letters in 
title? or any other solution?


thanks a lot

This is done by bibtex, and depends on the style you choose (.bst file). 
You can always prevent it using braces {} around uppercase text:

Hi Hal,

Here's what I do on my Linux LyX setup.

Whenever I want to see exactly how it looks, I press Ctrl+D and it compiles up 
a new .dvi file and puts the .dvi file in a .dvi viewer. Elapsed time, about a 
five seconds for a 110,000 word book, on an Intel Core2 Duo @ 2.53GHz with 4GB 
RAM -- in other words, a 2 year old box using Ubuntu and LyX 1.6.5.

No need to exit out of anything. Just press Ctrl+D and 5 seconds later this 
110,000 word doc pops up in a viewer. This is a 350 page document: For a 20 
page doc it would probably be a fraction of a second.

The layout and look of a .dvi file is almost identical to that of a PDF. As a 
matter of fact, many PDFs are made by dvi to ps to pdf. On my machine, going 
to PDF that way takes 23 seconds rather than the 5 of going to dvi.

import tex error

2011-04-23 Thread Sebastian Krämer

Hi there!

I'm getting an error when I try to import a tex source file to lyx:

 Cannot convert file
 An error occurred whilst running  -f 'ml1_3.tex' 'ml1_3.lyx'

If however I do the convertion with the tex2lyx1.6 script, a lyx file is
created successfully.

I'm using latest svn (r38473) from 1_6_X branch, running the lyx binary
via script which calls
~/src/lyx-svn/build/bin/lyx1.6 -sysdir ~/src/lyx-svn/lib $@
(I do that because I don't want to install this self-compiled lyx
version system-wide. There appears to be something missing with the
package that cpack creates but that's another issue.)

If interested, I can provide the tex file.

Is this a bug?

If you put the following into the master's preamble, you don't need to select

not 100% exact counters. This assures all auxiliary files are generated once

Hi there!

I'm using latest svn (r38473) from 1_6_X branch, running the lyx binary

If interested, I can provide the tex file.

Is this a bug?


Sounds like it. There have been changes in tex2lyx since 1.6.

What would really be helpful is if you could provide a MINIMAL file that 
causes the problem. I.e., erase as much as you can until you don't get 
it any more. Then we'll actually know what the issue is.


You might open a bug on the bug tracker and attach that file.

Dear LyX team,

I have some problem. About one month ago I had a problem with the
Russian language and I have sent the question, but I have not received
an answer yet. The solution of the problem is very important for me.
Could you help me? I am forwarding you the message again. And I would

In the version lyx 2.0rc3 the Spell-checking on the fly was

to make it work.

In the version lyx 2.0rc3 I start Spell-checking (F7) for the simple
Russian sentence Что делаешь? (which means What are you doing?) and it
suggests me to change the word Что to the word То. I am sure that
the word Что does exist. I have set the language of the document to
Russian and in the version lyx 1.6 everything works. Could you tell me
how can I get the same functionality of Spell-checking?

lyx + bibtex: title in lowercase

2011-04-23 Thread Igor Kvasnicka


Hi,
I have a strange problem and I don't know, if it is problem because of 
Lyx or Bibtex


My bibtex entry looks like this:

@STANDARD{rfc974,
  title = {RFC 974: Mail routing and the domain system},
  organization = {Network Working Group},
  institution = {CSNET CIC BBN Laboratories Inc},
  author = {Craig Partridge},
  month = {January},
  year = {1986},
  url = {http://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc974}
}

notice, that the title has got capital RFC in it...

and now, when I compile it with lyx, the result looks like:
[27] Craig Partridge. Rfc 974: Mail routing and the domain system, 
January 1986.


notice, that there is Rfc instead of RFC

is there any way, how to configure lyx not to lowercase letters in 
title? or any other solution?


thanks a lot

This is done by bibtex, and depends on the style you choose (.bst file). 
You can always prevent it using braces {} around uppercase text:


title = {{RFC} 974: Mail routing and the domain system},

Which is to say: Whenever you have a non-initial capital you want

Hi Hal,

Here's what I do on my Linux LyX setup.

Whenever I want to see exactly how it looks, I press Ctrl+D and it compiles up 
a new .dvi file and puts the .dvi file in a .dvi viewer. Elapsed time, about a 
five seconds for a 110,000 word book, on an Intel Core2 Duo @ 2.53GHz with 4GB 
RAM -- in other words, a 2 year old box using Ubuntu and LyX 1.6.5.

No need to exit out of anything. Just press Ctrl+D and 5 seconds later this 
110,000 word doc pops up in a viewer. This is a 350 page document: For a 20 
page doc it would probably be a fraction of a second.

The layout and look of a .dvi file is almost identical to that of a PDF. As a 
matter of fact, many PDFs are made by dvi to ps to pdf. On my machine, going 
to PDF that way takes 23 seconds rather than the 5 of going to dvi.

it will attempt to save all unsaved documents and exit. Exception:

The other issue (the main one that made me downgrade), I have a 
document which previously rendered as PDF (using latex2pdf) which now 
suddenly complains that latex cannot determine image size (no 
bounding box). Unfortunately, this problem has persisted after 
downgrading, so I might have been wrong in assuming that it was the 
upgrade that caused the error.


This is usually because LaTeX cannot find the image. Are you sure it 
is still there? (Silly question, perhaps, but I had this very problem 
recently.)
Images are still there, but will try replacing relative paths with 
absolute paths. Note that I have no problems when rendering as PS and 
then converting to PDF.

If however I do the convertion with the tex2lyx1.6 script, a lyx file is

I'm using latest svn (r38473) from 1_6_X branch, running the lyx binary

If you put the following into the master's preamble, you don't need to select 
"maintain counters and references", if you just want to have "sort of", but 
not "100% exact" counters. This assures all auxiliary files are generated once 
(on the first run), but only updates the included file's aux files later (and 
thus speeds up compilation):

Sounds like it. There have been changes in tex2lyx since 1.6.

What would really be helpful is if you could provide a MINIMAL file that 
causes the problem. I.e., erase as much as you can until you don't get 
it any more. Then we'll actually know what the issue is.


You might open a bug on the bug tracker and attach that file.

have is that to view changes I must close the current view reopen it and then 
navigate to the the current position, and maybe even reposition the window.  Is 
there a more automated way to do this?

Are you using acroread? It features a known issue: it doesn't reload
the PDF on file system change. You could either reload it in acroread,
or use something else such as Evince.

I am working on a Mac.  My viewer is Adobe Reader, but I have also tried Skim.  
I got Reverse and Forward search working with Skim, but still saving the 
changed LyX file, and hitting the PDF button does not produce a new PDF view.

I'd try reposting with that specific issue highlighted in the Subject.

lyx 2.0.0

2011-04-23 Thread Petrov Denis

Dear LyX team,

I have some problem. About one month ago I had a problem with the
Russian language and I have sent the question, but I have not received
an answer yet. The solution of the problem is very important for me.
Could you help me? I am forwarding you the message again. And I would
like to mention that I have installed lyx 2.0rc3 and I have the same
problem.

In the version lyx 2.0rc3 the "Spell-checking on the fly" was
announced, but I can not start it. Could you tell me what should I do
to make it work.

In the version lyx 2.0rc3 I start "Spell-checking" (F7) for the simple
Russian sentence Что делаешь? (which means What are you doing?) and it
suggests me to change the word "Что" to the word "То". I am sure that
the word "Что" does exist. I have set the language of the document to
Russian and in the version lyx 1.6 everything works. Could you tell me
how can I get the same functionality of Spell-checking?

Dear support,

I faced a problem. For Ubuntu I had a problem with Russian language.
But after installing texlive-lang-cyrillic the problem of converting
LyX - document to PDF - file was solved.

But I use also Windows XP SP3 (French edition) and I can not set the
text to be justified (look at the files Test_WINDOWS and Test_Ubuntu),
but the settings for both documents are the same. Could you tell me
what should I install for Windows or what preamble must be for correct
export to PDF?

Do other languages work?

Is the Russian dictionary installed? You can see this in the spell checker on 
the check mark icon beneath the Russian entry in the language selection combo. 
Additionally, check if the files ru_RU.aff and ru_RU.dic are at the correct 
place, in the hunspell path (see Tools > Preferences > Paths > Hunspell 
Dictionary Paths). If not, you can grab them here:

Other than what Jürgen suggested, it seems likely that you do not have
the appropriate spell checkers and/or languages installed. Install
aspell and hunspell for the Russian language, and then select one of
the two in Tools > Preferences > Language Settings > Spell checker >

lyx + bibtex: title in lowercase

2011-04-23 Thread Igor Kvasnicka


Hi,
I have a strange problem and I don't know, if it is problem because of 
Lyx or Bibtex


My bibtex entry looks like this:

@STANDARD{rfc974,
  title = {RFC 974: Mail routing and the domain system},
  organization = {Network Working Group},
  institution = {CSNET CIC BBN Laboratories Inc},
  author = {Craig Partridge},
  month = {January},
  year = {1986},
  url = {http://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc974}
}

notice, that the title has got capital RFC in it...

and now, when I compile it with lyx, the result looks like:
[27] Craig Partridge. Rfc 974: Mail routing and the domain system, 
January 1986.


notice, that there is "Rfc" instead of "RFC"

is there any way, how to configure lyx not to lowercase letters in 
title? or any other solution?


thanks a lot

Igor

This is done by bibtex, and depends on the style you choose (.bst file). 
You can always prevent it using braces {} around uppercase text:


title = {{RFC} 974: Mail routing and the domain system},

Which is to say: Whenever you have a non-initial capital you want 
preserved, such as someone's name, you must surround it with braces.

In LyX or the viewer preferences?  I cannot find such a preference.  Rh thought 
it was the viewer, and I have found that it does work correctly with Mac's

Hi Hal,

Here's what I do on my Linux LyX setup.

Whenever I want to see exactly how it looks, I press Ctrl+D and it compiles up 
a new .dvi file and puts the .dvi file in a .dvi viewer. Elapsed time, about a 
five seconds for a 110,000 word book, on an Intel Core2 Duo @ 2.53GHz with 4GB 
RAM -- in other words, a 2 year old box using Ubuntu and LyX 1.6.5.

No need to exit out of anything. Just press Ctrl+D and 5 seconds later this 
110,000 word doc pops up in a viewer. This is a 350 page document: For a 20 
page doc it would probably be a fraction of a second.

The layout and look of a .dvi file is almost identical to that of a PDF. As a 
matter of fact, many PDFs are made by dvi to ps to pdf. On my machine, going 
to PDF that way takes 23 seconds rather than the 5 of going to dvi.

True. I'm on 1.6.x (2.0 requires multiple library upgrades on my Linux systems,
so it's awaiting my next major Linux upgrade).  Sean apparently is on 2.0,
though, so it would seem easier for him to bind the new LFUNs.

About 5 seconds if you already have Okular loaded. Even though it
brings you file up in a new Okular window.

About 20 if you don't have it loaded.
