undefined control sequence with pdflatex but not with dvipdfm

2010-11-17 Thread Matt Funk
Hi,

this i probably only indirectly related to lyx, but i thought there are some 
experts on this list who might have an answer.

I downloaded the powerdot presentation (see here: http://www.ctan.org/tex-
archive/macros/latex/contrib/powerdot/lyx/)

i opened it up in lyx and used pdflatex on it, which then gave me many 
'undefined control sequence' errors.
When i did file-export-?pdf(dvipdfm) and then opened the resulting pdf file it 
worked right out of the box.

I was under the impression that pdflatex is equivalent to dvipdfm except for 
the intermediate dvi output.

I am using lyx: v1.6.5, 

pdflatex:
pdfTeX 3.1415926-1.40.10-2.2 (TeX Live 2009/Debian)

using multiple files for document-problem with document class(es)

2010-09-17 Thread Matt Funk
Hi,

i am writing a document that is broken up into multiple files. I include these 
files via Insert-File-Child Document.

The problem is this:
I select a given document class for the main document. The child documents 
have the main document as their master document selected. The problem is when 
i create a the pdf document it gives me a warning for each included child 
document that the document classes between the main document and the child 
document are not same.

I would have expected that by selecting a main document the settings such as 
the document class would be taken over by the child document. Apparently this 
is not the case since i get the warning.

Am i doing something wrong?

thanks

lyx with cv modern doc class on ubuntu 10.04

2010-07-27 Thread Matt Funk
Hi,

i am using lyx (1.6.5) with ubuntu 10.04. I am trying to use the modern cv 
document class to do a resume.
When i try to compile it i get error:
undefined control sequence

\begin{document}
 
The control sequence at the end of the top line
of your error message was never \def'ed. If you have
misspelled it (e.g., `\hobx'), type `I' and the correct
spelling (e.g., `I\hbox'). Otherwise just continue,
and I'll forget about whatever was undefined.

I tried to google but did not find anything helping me to resolve this.
Any insight is appreciated.


thanks

  Two questions to help with resolving the issue:
1. What is in your preamble (Settings:LaTeX preamble) ?
It is empty.

2. Did you enable support for Hyperref ?
Yes.
