Re: Request for beta users

[Paola Manzini]

Hi Tom,

Sorry but yes, hope I am wrong, but this looks like spam in my book, especially 
considering that the one you are advertising is a commercial enterprise, there 
is no free option - when you write

  *   Notebook environment with WYSIWYG LaTeX editor

do you mean that you are offering a Lyx installation? Is the site using the 
good Lyx developers’ labour for a financial advantage? Yes sure there’s the 
computing element of it, but if this is the case and I were a Lyx developer I 
would be most irate, considering how upset I am now just as a user - I very 
much hope I am missing something!!!

Dear LyX users,

Apologies in advance if this is considered spam.

I've used LyX happily for years, but always wished there was an easier way to 
collaborate with other people on a document. To make this easier, I've been 
working on a web-based math editor that tries to reproduce the LyX experience 
as closely as possible. It features Google Docs-style collaborative editing, 
version history, etc. (It also supports code execution, but that's another 
matter.) You can see it here: codedown.io.

The tool is in beta and doesn't have all of LyX's features, but it's useful for 
some workflows.

If this sounds interesting to you, please create an account and try it out! 
Feel free to email me directly with questions/feature requests/bug reports; 
feedback is always appreciated.

Best,
Tom

Hi Roberto,
according to the LyX manual there is no shortcut, but a way around it, have a 
look here:
http://elyxer.nongnu.org/lyx/Math.html#toc-Subsection-23.2

I haven't tried, though, I right click then select CAS

mathematica and maple?

Yes, this should work in principle. I don’t have these tools - the point is:
you have to wrap the command line utility you can use in terminal.
But care for Kornels advice below.

e.g.:
#!/bin/
sh

/Applications/Mathematica.app/Contents/MacOS/MathKernel "$@„

The first line „#!/bin/sh“ is another ritual were you shouldn’t be
creative :) Don’t break it into multiple lines.

The exec in front of the command line utility is again for efficiency.
The shell process created by LyX to start the CAS utility will be
replaced by the CAS utility instead of creating another child process.


for mathematica and
#!/bin/
sh

/Applications/Maple 18/Maple 18.app/Contents/MacOS/Maple 18 "$@"

Again, a million thanks!
Paola

Kornel

Yes, Kornel, you’re right. The spaces in path name need quotes.
In case of maxima it was not required to quote the path name because
it doesn’t contain spaces.

Stephan


Stepha, Kornel, Murat, thank you all, it does work, at least for Mathematica, 
still playing around with Maple, for which I haven’t figured out where the 
kernel is yet (and Murat, I do not have that directory on my system.

For future reference, what I did was repeat exactly the same steps to create a 
file called “math” in $HOME/bin (for some reason it did not work with 
“mathematica” as file name), using the commands below in a terminal window:

cat - > $HOME/bin/mathematica < in the terminal window, the other 
two by $ - this is for the technically challenged like me out there.

Again, thank you all!

hi Stephan, thanks for the scissor tip, will never look at 8< the same way 
again :-)
I’ve followed all your steps, but sadly still nothing has changed - tough maybe 
I have erred somewhere? Here is what I did:
First of all I created the wrapper file, and put it in HOME\bin, which I had 
already created following your instructions.
Then I’ve run
$ cat $HOME/bin/maxima
in the terminal window, and got the two lines of the new “wrapper” file.
Then put both ~/bin and HOME/bin in the LyX path for good measure, reconfigured 
LyX, closed Lyx and relaunched it, and again, it does not work.
So I thought maybe I should also have run the last two of the three other lines 
of code to be run in the terminal. Did that, but as you can see from the 
attachment after running that command I do not get a “$” sign, but a “>” as 
terminal prompt. Maybe this is the problem?
Thanks for your patience!

No problem. Simply type the 2 lines, cat is awaiting input.
To end the input you have to enter EOF, probably it is control+D.

Kornel

thanks Kornel (and Stephan), but now the result is that the maxima wrapper has 
been overwritten by empty lines!
So just to recap what I’ve done:
1. created the wrapper file, called it maxima, put it in HOME/bin, and checked 
it is there with the correct content by running the command “$ cat 
$HOME/bin/maxima” (no quotes) in the terminal window; I can also see the file 
in finder
2. run the three commands in the terminal window, where after the second line I 
had to use ctrl D to signal end of file
as a result, the “maxima” file has become an empty file (indeed, running “$ cat 
$HOME/bin/maxima” in the terminal window returns empty lines.
No change in behaviour in Lyx. If it helps, I have also Maple and Mathematica 
installed on my machine, but no luck invoking them from LyX either.
screenshot of terminal window is attached in case it is of any help.
Above all, thanks for taking the time with this.

Hi Paola,

I tried to be as verbose as I can - but it was too terse, sorry.

Two points:
1. The dollar sign in front of my command line text shouldn’t be typed.
It’s usual to mark text input as terminal input.
2. The EOF marker is an arbitrary text and should have been typed as given.

I’ll attach a screen shot of a my terminal session to prepared the wrapper 
script.

Finally the correct PATH extension in LyX settings is important.
Either it should be „$HOME/bin“ or „~/bin“ - having both does not harm
but it slightly reduces the startup speed of every external script.

Regards,
Stephan




Dear Stephan,
thanks so much for the time you are taking on this, and apologies for being 
slow! I have tried following exactly what you did, but there seems to be a 
problem when I get to “which maxima” - I get an empty line. On the other hand, 
the
cat $HOME/bin/maxima
does return the contents of the file, and I do see a newly created maxima file 
in the “bin” folder (in finder) - maybe my system is missing some other 
component?
Again, many thanks,
Paola
p.s.
screenshot attached


Dear Paola,

no problem, we’re almost there.

Sorry, I forgot to adjust the PATH setting in terminal.
I have $HOME/bin already in PATH in terminal.
This is not standard, obviously - so let’s add it for the test :)
This is the equivalent of adding $HOME/bin to LyX PATH settings.

See the screenshot.

Regards,
Stephan

Oops, the screenshot… the blue text is my keyboard input.




YAY!!! it works Stephan, thank you ever so much, you have been so very patient, 
never been so happy to discover that 3+2=5 :-)

Hi all,

I’ve searched the list and though this is not the first time the problem
is
noted, I haven’t been able to find any solution. The short of it is: it
just won’t work. So for instance if I type “5+2” then invoke
Edit/Math/CAS,
I only get a lonely = side to the right of the expression, and no result
(see screenshot)>

...

What happens if you call maxima from the console window and input the
string '(5+2);' followed by ? Here I get:
(%i1) (5+2);
(%o1)  7
(%i2)


...

from the console I get the same as you:

 (%i2) 5+2;
 (%o2)  7
 (%i3)

It should work. Do you have the same PATH settings on console?
Note, that I am not on MAC, so only guessing.

Kornel

I know it should work, which is why it is sooo frustrating! I cannot see any 
path settings in the Terminal, but I have put in lyX the same address as the 
one invoked for Maxima run from a terminal window, and still no joy!

The problem is that LyX contains the call of the external utility as hard-coded 
string and it is „maxima“.

The only solution I can see is to wrap the wrapper script „maxima.sh“ located 
inside the Maxima.app bundle
with a utility script like the following code (I cannot attach it - every virus 
checker will block the transport):
=== 8< snip here >8 ===
#!/bin/sh
exec /Applications/Maxima.app/Contents/Resources/maxima.sh "$@"
=== 8< snip here >8 ===

In terminal you may do this:
$ mkdir -p $HOME/bin
$ cat - > $HOME/bin/maxima < means joining the two “8”?
thanks!

1. You need to create the wrapper first and may try it (after creating it) in 
terminal by typing "$HOME/bin/maxima“
2. The wrapper should be placed in folder $HOME/bin (which is created first in 
case it doesn’t exist already by „mkdir“)
3. The snip surrounded two lines is the contents of the wrapper script - „8<" 
and „>8" are the two scissors :)

To explain the terminal commands:
The first terminal command is ensuring the existence of the folder „$HOME/bin“.
The second one (starting with „cat“ and ending with EOF) is one the way to 
create the wrapper script without any editor.
The third command is making your new wrapper script executable.

The 2nd command needs to be entered exactly as you see it.

You can verify what you did by using the terminal command:


It should give you the 2-line-script between the lines surrounded by the 
scissors.

The problem why you has to do it yourself is: I cannot send you any shell 
script.
No virus scanner will let it through. It doesn’t matter if it is useful or not.

Regards,
Stephan

I am currently running Lyx 2.2.0 on Mac Os Sierra, but I had exactly the same 
problem under Maverick and El Capitan with previous Lyx versions, namely, 
nothing happens.

I have specified the paths correctly (I think) to where the apps are 
(Mathematica, Maxima, Maple - nothing seems to work), and I can see the 
software calling the app (math-extern maxima), or (math-extern mathematica), 
but no result is churned out.

Here is what I have in the "PATH prefix" field under Lyx->Preferences->Paths:

/Library/TeX/texbin:/usr/texbin:/sw/bin:/sw/sbin:/opt/local/teTeX/bin:/opt/local/bin:/Library/TeX/local/bin:/Library/TeX/bin:/Library/TeX/X11R6/bin:/Library/TeX/sbin:/sbin:/usr/local/sbin:/Library/TeX/usr/local/bin:/Applications/Mathematica.app/Contents/MacOS/MathKernel:/Applications/Maxima.app:/Applications/Maple
 18/Maple 18.app

Can anyone please help?

many thanks Kornel for your prompt reply, I’ve tried what you suggested, and 
what I got is no output, namely:

11:55:08.254: (math-extern maxima)finding 'finding 'finding 'use whole cell: 
checking expr: '5 + 2'
calling: maxima
input: 'simpsum:true;tex(5 + 2);’

does this suggest where the problem is?

No, missing: output: '7'

What happens if you call maxima from the console window and input the string 
'(5+2);' followed by ?
Here I get:
(%i1) (5+2);
(%o1)  7
(%i2)

thanks,
Paola

Kornel

from the console I get the same as you:
(%i2) 5+2;
(%o2)  7
(%i3)

How did you call maxima in terminal?

I have it installed too and it looks like that:

It seems one has to start maxima.sh to get the command line interface. I’m not 
sure LyX knows it.
In any case one has to add "/Applications/Maxima.app/Contents/Resources“ to the 
PATH.

Stephan


thanks Stephan, I used “exec 
'/Applications/Maxima.app/Contents/Resources/maxima.sh’ “

although I also just launch the Maxima.app from the launcher. At any rate I 
have added your line to the path, reconfigured LyX, closed and reopened, but 
alas no change :-(

Hi all,

I’ve searched the list and though this is not the first time the problem is 
noted, I haven’t been able to find any solution. The short of it is: it just 
won’t work. So for instance if I type “5+2” then invoke Edit/Math/CAS, I only 
get a lonely = side to the right of the expression, and no result (see 
screenshot)

I am currently running Lyx 2.2.0 on Mac Os Sierra, but I had exactly the same 
problem under Maverick and El Capitan with previous Lyx versions, namely, 
nothing happens.

I have specified the paths correctly (I think) to where the apps are 
(Mathematica, Maxima, Maple - nothing seems to work), and I can see the 
software calling the app (math-extern maxima), or (math-extern mathematica), 
but no result is churned out.

Here is what I have in the "PATH prefix" field under Lyx->Preferences->Paths:

/Library/TeX/texbin:/usr/texbin:/sw/bin:/sw/sbin:/opt/local/teTeX/bin:/opt/local/bin:/Library/TeX/local/bin:/Library/TeX/bin:/Library/TeX/X11R6/bin:/Library/TeX/sbin:/sbin:/usr/local/sbin:/Library/TeX/usr/local/bin:/Applications/Mathematica.app/Contents/MacOS/MathKernel:/Applications/Maxima.app:/Applications/Maple

Mac Shortcuts

[Paola Manzini]

Hi All,

a really silly question, but I am stumped: using Mac OS, what does “^” stand 
for? For instance, if I want to go for “font-size Normal” the set shortcuts are 
^S N : what combination of keys is “^S”? If I am not mistaken:
C stands for “command”, 
A stands for “option”, 
S stands for “Shift” 
M stands or “Ctrl” 

but does “^” stand for? 

Many thanks,
paola

Re: Math preview bug (?) in LyX 2.1.4

[Paola Manzini]

I can confirm I have the same problem in  2.2.0alpha2 on Mac OS El Capitan, 
though I haven’t tried the latest beta. I have the feeling it happens much less 
often that with 2.1.4 (it happened to me just today for the first time since 
installing the alpha2 version, and I use LyX for many hours every day). One 
good reason to try the new beta!

For instance it works well when I can tether on my mobile,  but on the

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.

I ditched the stable version, so only have 2.2.0alpha2 now.

OK.

Finally, I am not sure whether this is what you wanted, but I used the command 
in a Terminal window, which returned:

/dev/disk1  931Gi  360Gi  570Gi39% 94431751 149513719   39%   /

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).

many thanks Scott - now it feels like when you complain of a noise in the car, 
take it to the garage, and the car runs perfectly smoothly: I have been unable 
to reproduce the error! I have opened several files, and nothing!

So for the moment all seems to be running ok again, really sorry for the 
trouble! But I have your instructions should the problem reappear.

Thanks again!

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

Best,

Re: LyX 2.2.0 Alpha 1 has been released

[Paola Manzini]

THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU  to all the programmers that made it possible. 
Not only lax now looks MUCH sharper on my macbook pro with retina display on 
Mac OS El Capitan, but the problems with the math toolbar being not clickable 
in some cases under El Capitan seems to have gone!

I still cannot make CAS work, but that is another issue :-)

Thanks again,
Paola

Hi Scott, yes indeed I can confirm that the problem is solved, at least on my 
Macbook pro running El Capitan.
Again, thanks so much!

Re: El Capitan

[Paola Manzini]

many thanks Chris!

But before going there, I have found another issue, at least with my settings, 
which once fixed also fixed the greyed out icon problem: if one goes in 
Settings\File Handling\File Formats and selects “PDF (pdflatex)” in the second 
to last dropdown menu in the settings, the one saying “With TeX fonts”, that 
makes the icons “live again”, at least it did work for me, hope it does for 
others too! For the last dropdown, “With nonTeX fonts, I have pdf (pdfXeTeX), 
in case that also matters).

Best,
Paola

You can almost surely solve your El Capitan problems if you disable the new 
System Integrity Protection feature (a.k.a. rootless mode), which among other 
things prevents the creation of symlinks in /usr. Note that there are some good 
security reasons for SIP — in particular it makes it much harder for malware to 
be installed on your system (though that can still be avoided simply by taking 
the usual precautions about clicking on unknown links, installing software from 
unknown or unproven sources, etc). So I'm not recommending that anyone do this 
but just putting the information and the option out there so folks can make an 
informed choice: http://goo.gl/W5AZpe. (I failed to note that I had disabled 
SIP when I reported the other day that I'd had no problems running LyX under El 
Capitan ever since the first public beta.)

I was about to report the same - I also got to the same stage.

I hope there is some fix, but in the meantime to compile the file and 
view the pdf one can use the other two icons to the right ("update other

Re: I can't insert symbols in math environments since I switched to El Capitan

[Paola Manzini]

Philippe, I have the same problem, but playing aournd with this, I have 
found the following:
first click with the mouse on the "empty" space to the right corner of 
the greek letters panel (nothing happens), then click on the letter you 
need.


It is as if the mouse was not recognising the panel with the letters was 
open: if you over over
\beta for instance you can see "set top line", so it is as if you were 
hovering over the set top line symbol, wihtout the panel open. Clicking 
on the empy part of the panel with the greek letters seem to make LyX 
understand the panel is there.

Hi everyone,

I just updated MacOS X to El Capitan and, since I did,
I cannot insert symbols
in math environments anymore.

When I click on a button at the bottom of the LyX window
to insert a symbol like a Greek letter,
it displays the list of symbols of that type, but the mouse pointer
  is the same as if it was just
above my text so I can't click on any of the symbols.

Does anybody else has this problem since they updated MacOS X?
This is really bad for me
because it means I basically cannot do *any* work!

So I hope it will be solved rapidly, I'm kind of desperate right now...

Philippe

Re: El Capitan

[Paola Manzini]

ok, do not know why, but this works:

go into the Document settings, select "Fonts", and tick the option "Use 
non-TeX fonts (via XeTeX/LuaTeX)".


This made the view and compile button work for me.

 We are proud to announce the release of LyX 2.1.2.1.
 
 This is an emergency release for OSX only. It resolves problems that
affect
 LyX on OSX 10.10 (Yosemite) and, indeed, any program that depends
upon the
 passing of environment variables to sub-processes. Only users of OSX
10.10
 should upgrade to this version.
 
 LyX is a document processor that encourages an approach to writing
based
 on the structure of your documents and not simply their appearance.
It is
 released under a Free and Open Source Software license.
 
 You can download LyX 2.1.2.1 from http://www.lyx.org/Download/.
 
 The remainder of this file describes the 2.1.2 release, which was the
 second maintenance release in the 2.1.x series.
 
 LyX 2.1.2 is the result of on-going efforts to make our stable
version
 even more reliable and stable. We have fixed a number of bugs and
made
 a number of improvements. These are detailed below. We strongly
encourage
 all LyX users to upgrade to this version.
 
 The most important fix here is that we believe we have resolved the
problem
 that led several users to experience seemingly random crashes with
2.1.0,
 sometimes resulting in dataloss. (This was bug 9049.) These crashes
generally
 happened when the user attempted to save a file containing a table,
usually a
 fairly complex table. A seemingly unrelated bug report concerning a
crash when
 trying to save a default template (bug 9236) led to the solution.
That bug has
 also been fixed.
 
 Do report your bugs, then! It really does help make LyX better, often
in ways
 you might not expect.
 
 So, if you think you have found a bug in LyX 2.1.2, open a bug report
at
 http://www.lyx.org/trac/wiki/BugTrackerHome. If you're not sure
whether it
 really is a bug, you can e-mail the LyX developers' mailing list

Re: lyx on Mac - blurred fonts

[Paola Manzini]

Hi all, I do have a macbook pro with retina display running Mavericks, 
and I never noticed any lags, nor does the blurriness' bother me to the 
point of not being able to work on it.


I also have a windows machine with high resolution display, and on that 
one LyX is unusable, the icons are just too tiny. On the MPBr yes the 
font is not neat, but I can sure work on it. Anyhow, as this may very 
well be a matter of taste, here is a link to little video of how LyX 
looks on my machine while I type, so you can judge for yourself:

How is the image quality on a non-retina external display hooked

Sounds like typing responsiveness is also an issue as well.

Ah, yes, that could be (subject of the thread notwithstanding).
Typing is a bit laggy on a rMBP (assuming that's the sort of
thing you have in mind by speed). Since I mostly use LyX for
writing papers and I tend to write rather haltingly, the lag is
not usually noticeable. But if I were using it for tasks where I
wanted to type full speed, especially if I were a really fast

Re: ANNOUNCE: LyX version 2.1.0 (rc1)

[Paola Manzini]

Hi guys,

first of all thanks for your efforts, it does look great! However I am 
still frustrated in using it on my device with a high resolution screen 
(Windows), as the icons are too small (the problem that I highlighted here:

http://comments.gmane.org/gmane.editors.lyx.general/81497

but was unable to solve on my own): any chance this could be solved in 
2.1 final release? I am sure I am not alone with this problem, and from 
the release notes it seems this issue is still there.


Thanks again,
Paola

Public release of LyX version 2.1.0rc1


We are proud to announce the first release candidate of the new
LyX 2.1 series.

With this release, LyX celebrates 18 years of existence. The 2.1 series
has a rich set of new features compared to the current stable series.

LyX 2.1.0rc1 is the culmination of three years of hard work.
This release is meant for testing before we actually release LyX 2.1.

An overview of the new features can be found here:
  http://wiki.lyx.org/LyX/NewInLyX21

You can download LyX 2.1.0rc1 from ftp://ftp.lyx.org/pub/lyx/devel/.

We hope you will enjoy the result!

The file RELEASE-NOTES lists some known issues and problems compared
to the current stable releases (LyX 2.0.x). We strongly recommend that
packagers of LyX on various platforms and distributions read this file.

As with any major release, this one comes with lot of new features but
also some bugs. If you think you have found a bug in LyX 2.1.0rc1,
either email the LyX developers' mailing list (lyx-devel at 
lists.lyx.org),

or open a bug report at http://www.lyx.org/trac/wiki/BugTrackerHome.

If you have trouble using LyX or have a question, consult the
documentation that comes with LyX (under Help) and the LyX wiki, which 
you
will find at http://wiki.lyx.org/. You can also send email to the LyX 
users'

list (lyx-users at lists.lyx.org).
