Could you contact the Debian packager about this? I think they need to
add a dependency.

Just upgraded to 2.2.0 on debian testing

[David L. Johnson]

Debian testing just included the upgrade to lyx 2.2.0.  I want to point 
out one thing:  If you don't see menu icons, you need to add the svg 
versions of the qt library (it may still be linked with qt-4.??, but 
looking for the svg libraries with apt-cache search found what I needed).


I have yet to check it all out, but I am absolutely floored by the 
scrolling ability in math eqnarray finally.  As one who never can keep 
the line length in check during the writing process, it is a blessing to 
be able to see the whole line.  Formerly I have had to either set the 
font really, really small or (more recently) stretch the window over two 
monitors.  This is a great advance; thanks to all who developed it.


I have yet to see what has changed with the beamer layout.  I hope it is 
not too much of a PITA to change old files to the new layout, since I 
have classes on Tuesday that I need it for.  I will find that out 
tomorrow

RCS was a very early VCS, and it has a lot of shortcomings.

Actually I couldn't wait the whole week to try git. I installed git on 
my work pc, created a sample LyX file then created a git repo using 
the git client (the LyX document resides in a folder in my OneDrive 
and the .git folder repo is within this folder). Once I do this and 
open the document in LyX, LyX detects the version control. I added few 
more lines and checked in the new document. I then go back home and 
installed git to see if I can continue checking in to the document. So 
I open the document with LyX, add few more lines and then check in and 
Voila! It works. I even can check out and compare revisions. Note that 
I don't interact with git anymore after I setup the repo.
The limitation of this approach is that you have to set up the git 
repo before you can do version control on the document but I can live 
with that. It would be a neat solution, if LyX in future versions 
ships with git and enable the user to register the document in the 
background without the user leaving the program to create his own repo 
(basically a small script that calls git internally without the user 
having to interact with git directly). Anyway thanks you all so much 
specially Kornel for your help. I will definitely submit a wiki on that.

I know you can manually hide the status bar by pressing Alt+x ui-toggle

Weird KDE Bug in LyX

[Richard Heck]

For anyone running LyX 2.2.0 under KDE (or using a KDE-based window 
manager, or anything of that sort):


There is an annoying new feature, KDE's "accelerator manager", that 
automatically adds shortcuts. This causes conflicts and so forth in many 
Qt-based programs, when those programs are run with Qt5. If you are 
experiencing this issue, please see

http://www.lyx.org/trac/ticket/10261#comment:16
for a workaround.

I am running LyX 2.2.0 on Windows 10.

I want to create a shortcut in LyX that pastes, saves, and formats
an image in LyX. I have a created a command-sequence that can do
the "formatting" part, but I can't figure out how to paste /and/
save the image. If I use the "paste" command, it asks me to save
the image (choose a name). I want to use the default name, that
is, "paste%the number of images in the save directory with the
name paste%".

Here is the command sequence that does the formatting I want:

command-sequence float-insert figure; char-backward;
char-backward; char-backward; inset-modify figure placement H wide
false sideways false; char-forward; down; paragraph-params-apply
\noindent \align center; inset-apply graphics scale 50 lyxscale

OK. A good strategy is to read the error message and then at the very

I did as you said: Bingo!

It'd be worth reporting the error. It looks from here:

Scott, it now works for all the other documents as well.
However, this is not what one should use in the long run because 
'enabledeprecatedfontcommands' itself is already deprecated and should 
not be used.

This is made clear by the many warnings in the log file.

Hi Michael,

Thanks for sending a minimal example!

This is a case (I admit they are rare) where the error is extremely
informative. Did you read it? Is there any part of it that is confusing?

Here is the error when you compile your .lyx file. I post it here
so that if you have a question you can reference the exact part
that you have a question about:

 You should note that since 1994 LaTeX2e provides a new font
 selection scheme called NFSS2 with several new, combinable font...
When you contact the author of the LaTeX package that is at fault,
can you please link to that bug report or keep this thread updated
confirming that you sent the maintainer a bug report (and also
subsequently when they reply?).


So presumably this is some sort of error in the covington package, 
which seems to be the one we are loading.


Perhaps Jurgen knows something

Richard

Hi Scott, Richard, thanks,
of course, I did read the complete error message several times - and got 
even more confused.
As a layman I basically understand that one should not use outdated 
packages.


Help me, please, what else if not TL2016? It appears to me that what 
happened here is just the opposite: everything worked with TL2013 and 
now does NOT with TL2016?!


Furthermore: ALL my documents in question are basically identical and 
ALL have in common to using the module 'linguistic' which requires 
'covington.sty'. And the glosses in each are exactly the same by each 
single letter!
This being the case I tried different settings in the documents with 
that error - nothing changed.


So, I feel Richard may be dam...ed close to presume some sort of error 
in/with the covington package.

Please recall what I said:
- all documents *without* glosses work in LyX 2.2 and all export to PDF 
without problems
- some documents with glosses work in LyX as should while some generate 
that error.


Was Jürgen, as the one who added so many nice features to glosses and 
certainly  must have tried using them, not facing "my" error?
Actually it is Jürgen's features that are so very interesting for 
linguistic papers that encouraged me to go for the latest packages.
I very much hope that Jürgen who already helped me so many times will be 
able to help in this case too.


Scott, if it comes to contact the authors of the LaTeX package you must 
put me on the right track as I wouldn't know how to proceed with that.


Cheers!
Michael
