   from /usr/share/texmf-texlive/tex/generic/foo/foo.sty (for example)
   so it would seem lyx is not aware of TexLive2011 in /usr/local/
  
  Right, I guess the problem is that lyx finds the ubuntu packages
  before it hits texlive.
  
  First of all: have you reconfigured Lyx (ToolsReconfigure)? It may
  be all you need.
  
  If that does not work, a couple of options:
  
  1. Uninstall the Ubuntu text-live package. This may not be feasible,
  though, because you probably have it as a dependence of Lyx and
  possibly other packages
  There is a way to replace Ubuntu's outdated texlive with a dummy
  package but I am afraid I forget how to do it. Other people on the
  list may know (I left Ubuntu some time ago).
  
  2. Check the order of your executable path in your $PATH environmental
  variable. In fact, open a terminal and do
  
  $which pdflatex
  
  you should get something like:
  /usr/local/texlive/2011/bin/x86_64-linux/pdflatex
  
  
  and then do something like:
  
  $kpsewhich fontspec.sty
  
  
  and you shoud get
  /usr/local/texlive/2011/texmf-dist/tex/latex/fontspec/fontspec.sty
  
   If not, try
  
  $printenv $PATH
  
  Do you see the path to the texlive2011 installation occurring before
  the path to the Ubuntu installed executables?
  
  S.
  
  
 
 Hi, The paths are all correct,  Starting lyx from the terminal and
 reconfiguring did the trick as far as using TexLive2011 goes I just
 can't start Lyx from the desktop icon if I want to use TexLive2011,
 but I can live with that. It can be done but time is short . There are
 other problems but I will post separate question about them. \
 
 Alasdair

That may be because the desktop does not know your specific PATH setting. (Only 
your sh knows).
To set it for the desktop, create the file ~/.pam_environment. (This expands
the file /etc/security/pam_env.conf on your login. Should be there, but maybe 
is empty)

The syntax of this file is described in man pam_env. For examples look into 
/etc/security/pam_env.conf

Define the PATH like this (On my ubuntu):
PATH OVERRIDE=/usr/local/texlive/2011/bin/x86_64-linux:${PATH}

provided the path to your latex is the same

Newbie needs some help with covington: 'command \example already defined'

[Cesko Voeten]

Hello!

I'm very new to LaTeX, but as a linguist I am becoming more dependent on it
every day. However, my only very basic knowledge of LaTeX is preventing me
from solving this simple problem.

As a linguist, I included the Linguistics module in LyX. Now I have these
new 'Example' options in the top-left drop-down box, that I use for
selecting the style of a particular line. However, this 'Example' option
(which I need to use at this moment) isn't working! When I add an example,
LaTeX gives me the following error when I try to preview the file:

! LaTeX Error: Command \example already defined.
   Or name \end... illegal, see p.192 of the manual.

followed by a bunch more errors.

It appears that the problem is inside covington.sty, as that's the last
file mentioned before latex bails out.

I can export the LyX-generated LaTeX into an ordinary .tex file, which
reads:

%% LyX 2.0.3 created this file.  For more info, see http://www.lyx.org/.
%% Do not edit unless you really know what you are doing.
\documentclass[dutch]{paper}
\usepackage[T1]{fontenc}
\usepackage[latin9]{inputenc}
\usepackage{covington}
\usepackage{babel}
\begin{document}
\begin{example}
test\end{example}

\end{document}

which is rejected by latex with the same error.

I'm using LyX version 2.0.3 on a Gentoo Linux system.

Can anyone help me with this problem? Searching the mailing list has
pointed to a conflict with the Theorem module, but as I don't use it
anywhere in my document I'm at a loss as to what's going on.

Thanks so much!

I suspect the problem here is that the class you are using (paper.cls)
defines an example environment, and covington.sty tries to define
another one, which triggers the error.

The easiest solution is to use another class (such as article). Do you
have to use paper.cls?

Ah, thank you! You are right - using a different document class fixes the

direct inkscape layer support in lyx

[Qiqi Yan]

Hi all,

I have a question regarding inkscape.

Let's say I have an inkscape drawing with multiple layers.

When I import the svg into lyx, can I specify the layers that get shown?

This way I can do animation with beamer for example.

Thanks!
Qiqi

You asked about the Columns environment before.  Columns (center aligned) is
different -- it does not seem to accept options.  As far as I can tell, Columns
(center aligned) is functionally the same as Columns (both center things
vertically), so Columns with the width argument should work for you.  You can
also add other options in ERT.  For instance, Columns with [b,totalwidth=60mm]
in ERT will bottom-align the columns while setting the combined width.

With inkscape you can export specific objects. Would this accomplish what you 
want?
   -i ID, --export-id=ID
   For PNG, PS, EPS, and PDF export, the id attribute value of the
   object that you want to export from the document; all other
   objects are not exported.  By default the exported area is the
   bounding box of the object; you can override this using
   --export-area (PNG only) or --export-area-page.

If that would work for you, then look in the help  customization manual to see 
how to have this automated by LyX. You can go to preferences  file handling  
converters  SVG - PDF, for example, to see the command that is run.

Cannot use XeTeX fonts and Theorems (AMS) module under Ubuntu 12.04

[Alfredo Maldonado Guerra]

Hello,

I'm using Lyx version 2.0.2 and I have just recently upgraded to Ubuntu 
12.04 (from 11.10). I'm now unable to create PDFs from Lyx documents 
that use XeTeX fonts and the Theorems (AMS) module. I get an Undefined 
control sequence error. This did not happen under Ubuntu 11.10, so I 
wonder if the upgrade broke something in LyX. I tried re-installing LyX, 
LaTex and XeTeX (via the Synaptic package manager).


These are the steps to reproduce this problem under Ubuntu 12.04:

1. Open LyX and create new document.
2. Go to Document - Settings - Modules. Add Theorems (AMS)
3. Change current 'style' from Standard to Theorem  (dropdown list 
at top-left corner)

4. Type whatever you want.
5. If you click on the 'eyes' button, your document will compile. No 
problem there.
6. Now, go to Document - Settings - Fonts. Check Use non-TeX fonts 
(via XeTeX/LuaTeX)
7. Go to Document - Settings - Output. Under Default Output Format 
select PDF (XeTeX)
8. Click the 'eyes' button and you'll get the Undefined control 
sequence error.


Another thing I noticed is that if you don't perform step 7, your 
document gets compiled, but LyX generates a HTML version of the document 
and not a PDF.


Thank you very much in advance for any help / tips you can give me. 
Please let me know if you need more information.


Thanks,
Alfredo

You asked about the Columns environment before.  Columns (center aligned) is
different -- it does not seem to accept options.  As far as I can tell, Columns
(center aligned) is functionally the same as Columns (both center things
vertically), so Columns with the width argument should work for you.  You can
also add other options in ERT.  For instance, Columns with [b,totalwidth=60mm]
in ERT will bottom-align the columns while setting the combined width.

Let's say I have an inkscape drawing with multiple layers.

When I import the svg into lyx, can I specify the layers that get shown?

With inkscape you can export specific objects. Would this accomplish what you 
want?
   -i ID, --export-id=ID
   For PNG, PS, EPS, and PDF export, the id attribute value of the
   object that you want to export from the document; all other
   objects are not exported.  By default the exported area is the
   bounding box of the object; you can override this using
   --export-area (PNG only) or --export-area-page.

If that would work for you, then look in the help  customization manual to see 
how to have this automated by LyX. You can go to preferences  file handling

Cannot use XeTeX fonts and Theorems (AMS) module under Ubuntu 12.04

[Alfredo Maldonado Guerra]

Hello,

I'm using Lyx version 2.0.2 and I have just recently upgraded to Ubuntu 
12.04 (from 11.10). I'm now unable to create PDFs from Lyx documents 
that use XeTeX fonts and the Theorems (AMS) module. I get an Undefined 
control sequence error. This did not happen under Ubuntu 11.10, so I 
wonder if the upgrade broke something in LyX. I tried re-installing LyX, 
LaTex and XeTeX (via the Synaptic package manager).


These are the steps to reproduce this problem under Ubuntu 12.04:

1. Open LyX and create new document.
2. Go to Document - Settings - Modules. Add Theorems (AMS)
3. Change current 'style' from Standard to Theorem  (dropdown list 
at top-left corner)

4. Type whatever you want.
5. If you click on the 'eyes' button, your document will compile. No 
problem there.
6. Now, go to Document - Settings - Fonts. Check Use non-TeX fonts 
(via XeTeX/LuaTeX)
7. Go to Document - Settings - Output. Under Default Output Format 
select PDF (XeTeX)
8. Click the 'eyes' button and you'll get the Undefined control 
sequence error.


Another thing I noticed is that if you don't perform step 7, your 
document gets compiled, but LyX generates a HTML version of the document 
and not a PDF.


Thank you very much in advance for any help / tips you can give me. 
Please let me know if you need more information.


Thanks,
Alfredo

That may be because the desktop does not know your specific PATH setting. (Only 
your sh knows).
To set it for the desktop, create the file "~/.pam_environment". (This expands
the file "/etc/security/pam_env.conf" on your login. Should be there, but maybe 
is empty)

The syntax of this file is described in "man pam_env". For examples look into 
"/etc/security/pam_env.conf"

Define the PATH like this (On my ubuntu):
PATH OVERRIDE=/usr/local/texlive/2011/bin/x86_64-linux:${PATH}

provided the path to your latex is the same

Did you try the other 'utf8*' flavors? I always had more luck with

Newbie needs some help with covington: 'command \example already defined'

[Cesko Voeten]

Hello!

I'm very new to LaTeX, but as a linguist I am becoming more dependent on it
every day. However, my only very basic knowledge of LaTeX is preventing me
from solving this simple problem.

As a linguist, I included the Linguistics module in LyX. Now I have these
new 'Example' options in the top-left drop-down box, that I use for
selecting the style of a particular line. However, this 'Example' option
(which I need to use at this moment) isn't working! When I add an example,
LaTeX gives me the following error when I try to preview the file:

! LaTeX Error: Command \example already defined.
   Or name \end... illegal, see p.192 of the manual.

followed by a bunch more errors.

It appears that the problem is inside covington.sty, as that's the last
file mentioned before latex bails out.

I can export the LyX-generated LaTeX into an ordinary .tex file, which
reads:

%% LyX 2.0.3 created this file.  For more info, see http://www.lyx.org/.
%% Do not edit unless you really know what you are doing.
\documentclass[dutch]{paper}
\usepackage[T1]{fontenc}
\usepackage[latin9]{inputenc}
\usepackage{covington}
\usepackage{babel}
\begin{document}
\begin{example}
test\end{example}

\end{document}

which is rejected by latex with the same error.

I'm using LyX version 2.0.3 on a Gentoo Linux system.

Can anyone help me with this problem? Searching the mailing list has
pointed to a conflict with the Theorem module, but as I don't use it
anywhere in my document I'm at a loss as to what's going on.

Thanks so much!

I suspect the problem here is that the class you are using (paper.cls)
defines an example environment, and covington.sty tries to define
another one, which triggers the error.

The easiest solution is to use another class (such as article). Do you
have to use paper.cls?

Ah, thank you! You are right - using a different document class fixes the
problem :-)

I really need to use the paper document class (I actually am writing a
paper and the other classes kind of suck for my purposes), but losing the
ability to use examples isn't worth it.

Thanks for pointing me to the problem.

You asked about the Columns environment before.  Columns (center aligned) is
different -- it does not seem to accept options.  As far as I can tell, Columns
(center aligned) is functionally the same as Columns (both center things

With inkscape you can export specific objects. Would this accomplish what you 
want?
   -i ID, --export-id=ID
   For PNG, PS, EPS, and PDF export, the id attribute value of the
   object that you want to export from the document; all other

Cannot use XeTeX fonts and Theorems (AMS) module under Ubuntu 12.04

[Alfredo Maldonado Guerra]

Hello,

I'm using Lyx version 2.0.2 and I have just recently upgraded to Ubuntu 
12.04 (from 11.10). I'm now unable to create PDFs from Lyx documents 
that use XeTeX fonts and the Theorems (AMS) module. I get an "Undefined 
control sequence" error. This did not happen under Ubuntu 11.10, so I 
wonder if the upgrade broke something in LyX. I tried re-installing LyX, 
LaTex and XeTeX (via the Synaptic package manager).


These are the steps to reproduce this problem under Ubuntu 12.04:

1. Open LyX and create new document.
2. Go to Document -> Settings -> Modules. Add "Theorems (AMS)"
3. Change current 'style' from "Standard" to "Theorem"  (dropdown list 
at top-left corner)

4. Type whatever you want.
5. If you click on the 'eyes' button, your document will compile. No 
problem there.
6. Now, go to Document -> Settings -> Fonts. Check "Use non-TeX fonts 
(via XeTeX/LuaTeX)"
7. Go to Document -> Settings -> Output. Under Default Output Format 
select "PDF (XeTeX)"
8. Click the 'eyes' button and you'll get the "Undefined control 
sequence" error.


Another thing I noticed is that if you don't perform step 7, your 
document gets compiled, but LyX generates a HTML version of the document 
and not a PDF.


Thank you very much in advance for any help / tips you can give me. 
Please let me know if you need more information.


Thanks,
Alfredo
