Dear All,

please forget what I wrote. I downloaded via ftp the latest version on
cocoa. and it's the most crystal clear picture I have ever seen. You guys
are amazing, thanks for all the great work.

building lyx from source on max yosemite

[Florian Oswald]

Hi all,

I was following this thread [
http://comments.gmane.org/gmane.editors.lyx.general/85538] to find out how
to get rid of a pixelated view of lyx on my retina screen. It seems that
version 2.2.0 does get rid of it.

I checkout out the git repo, made a build directory, and tried to build
with cmake. I end up with the error below. Is the next() function a C++11
feature? Any ideas how to deal with this? thanks a lot.

Thanks Jacob, that was helpful! 
I like that you point out the use of \mathrm. I “preach” to all students and 
everyone else who wants to hear (and to everyone else too ;-) that indices that 
are not variables should be roman. So for those who use LyX or LaTeX and write 
equations \mathrm is one of the best commands to know…

Bibliography not shown in PDF

[Michael Berger]

Hi Scott,
I think it was after downloading some updates that I did not see the 
bibliography  any longer after compilation to PDF. I am very certain I 
did not change any settings.

My many attempts to fix this failed.

openSUSE 13.2 - 64bit, latest version
LyX 2.1.2
KBibTeX 0.6-2.12 built Nov. 2015

Would it be sufficient to furnish the LyX Document Settings first or 
send minimized LyX and KBibTeX files?


I stripped down the LyX-document  from 40 to 8 pages (23.4Kib) and also 
minimized the respective KBibTeX file (1.1KB). In case you want need it, 
where should I send it?


Thanks and regards,
Michael Berger

We have such a thing already:

PackageOptions todonotes myoptions

(only works in trunk, since the todonotes module from the wiki does not load 
todonotes via LyX's features interface).

"trunk" is the development version of LyX, i.e. forthcoming LyX 2.2.

With LyX 2.1.x, you cannot use the descirbed feature with the todonotes 
module, since it only works for packages "known" to LyX (and the todonotes 
packages is not known to LyX 2.1). Making a package "known" requires a change 
in the LyX source code.

With LyX 2.2, you just need to copy the following to Document > Settings >

Sounds interesting. But what is trunk and how would I have to change the

Hi Paola,

Thanks for your testing and feedback!

What do you have listed in Tools > Preferences > Paths under Temporary
directory?
Before changing anything, please backup whatever path you have there
because we would like to know what it is.

Do you still have the stable version of LyX installed? You do not see
the problem there correct? On that version of LyX what do you have
listed in Tools > Preferences > Paths under Temporary directory?

Finally, what is the output of the command "df -h /var" ?

Would you mind bottom-posting (replying below the quote of the previous
email)? Sorry for the bother but it helps keep emails organized.

Best,

Hi Michael,

Is there a link you have or a recent email thread you can point me to
for the previous conversation on this topic? This is the first email in
the thread (unless my mail client messed up) but it seems as though
continuing a conversation. I have a *horrible* short- and long-term
memory and I participate in a lot of conversations. Also, for archival
purposes it's good to reference any previous discussion in case someone
has a similar issues and happens across this thread.

I'd be happy to compile and confirm whether something works for me if
that would help you figure out whether the problem is something local to
your system or something that others can reproduce. As for the example,
I am pretty dogmatic (more than most around here I think) in that I
prefer to only spend time looking at minimal examples, as outlined here:
http://wiki.lyx.org/FAQ/MinimalExample

In your particular case though, since you participate on the list
(thanks a lot for helping out! It is very much appreciated) I'm much
more likely to spend time to try to help figure out what the problem is.

As for where to send the example, please just attach it to your email
when sending to the list.

Best,

Scott

LYX 2.1.4 and El Capitan: Error converting eps and PDF

[Cristoforo Demartino]

I installed LyX 2.1.4. on a Mac with El Capitan. When I insert a pdf or eps 
figure, LyX displays an error in converting the file; accordingly I can't see 
the figure in the software.
The output PDF is created without any problem.

I was able to start LyX using the command line and this is the error: sh: 
convert: command not found

This is the path:  

/Library/TeX/texbin:/usr/texbin:/sw/bin:/sw/sbin:/opt/local/teTeX/bin:/opt/local/bin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/bin:/usr/X11R6/bin:/usr/sbin:/sbin

I obtained the same error using LyX 2.2 beta version.

Can anyone help with this issue?

OK. Can you do the following:

1. Exit all LyX instances.
2. Run the command
   ls -lR /var/folders/_q/_lf49ll933z7xvnbfdtmn810gn/
3. Open one .lyx file (which you said does not cause an error).
4. Run the same command as in 2.
5. Open another .lyx file. This should produce the error. Before
clicking on OK for the error or anything else, run the same command as
in step 2 again.
6. (still without clicking OK on the error or anything else), run the
command
   mkdir 

So you should run the command in step 2 a total of 3 times and send us
all of the output. Also send us the output from the mkdir command.

OK.

Yes this is what I wanted. I just wanted to confirm that the filesystem
your temporary directory is on is not full (as the error you posted
suggested).

Hi Paola,

Thanks for your testing and feedback!

What do you have listed in Tools > Preferences > Paths under Temporary
directory?
Before changing anything, please backup whatever path you have there
because we would like to know what it is.

Do you still have the stable version of LyX installed? You do not see
the problem there correct? On that version of LyX what do you have
listed in Tools > Preferences > Paths under Temporary directory?

Finally, what is the output of the command "df -h /var" ?

Would you mind bottom-posting (replying below the quote of the previous
email)? Sorry for the bother but it helps keep emails organized.

Best,

Scott

Thanks Scott, and apologies for top posting!
The path for the temporary directory is:
/var/folders/_q/_lf49ll933z7xvnbfdtmn810gn/T
I ditched the stable version, so only have 2.2.0alpha2 now.
Finally, I am not sure whether this is what you wanted, but I used the command 
in a Terminal window, which returned:

Filesystem   Size   Used  Avail Capacity  iused ifree %iused  Mounted on

Cristoforo, it is important to note all the places where you cross-post.
Imagine a solution is found on e.g. the tex.stackexchange thread you

thanks Liviu, just updated the preferences. The mysterious “LyX could not

exit LyX, re-launch it and open the file. At least with keeping the last 
session I can now open many files :-)

Re: threeparttablex with longtable

[Tyler Grummett]

Hello John,


Yes the normal threeparttable package works for me with normal tables in a 
table float, however I need table notes in a long table.


I have the following in ERT before the table (which is manually inserted using 
the lyx GUI)


\begin{ThreePartTable}
\begin{TableNotes}
\item[a] A note
\item[b] Another note
\end{TableNotes}


I then make the table. However the threeparttablex package asks for you to put 
in a line of ERT code that says \insertTableNotes, however as the code includes 
\end{longtable} when you make a table, you cant put it in anywhere.


I have compromised (if there is no solution) by inserting some ERT code in the 
bottom row of the table:


\footnotesize
1 = blah
2 = blah blah
3 = blah blah blah

which makes most of the code written before the table vestigial, Ill remove it 
if there isnt a solution haha.

Cheers for the prompt reply,

Tyler

Hi Tyler;
Could you upload a minimal example of the table. It is not clear to me exactly 
how you are using the ERT.

Is the entire table in the ERT or are you using a LyX-type table with the 
Insert commands in an ERT?

Hello Lyx,


Im having a problem when using threeparttablex with longtables. In order to see 
the table I am working with, I have chosen to use ERT code to 
\begin{ThreePartTable} and then \begin{TableNotes}  \end{TableNotes} etc 
then ive inserted a table and made it a long table.


Everything works if you just put in the ERT code \end{ThreePartTable}, but then 
there are no actual table notes. I cant work out where to put the ERT code 
\insertTableNotes. According to the documentation, it needs to be inside the 
longtable, but I cant work out how to do it without getting an error 
\misaligned etc.


Please help.
