Index does not print
Hello, I have been using LyX for some time now. It has been great. Previously the multiple index function worked well. Today, while I was able to insert indices, they wouldn't print. Only disabling the multiple index option under Settings in a fresh document allows printing of the singular index. Any suggestions as to how I might go about solving this problem? I suspect that the files needed for \printindex simply don't compile, as the logs seem to suggest. System Details: Arch Linux with KDE, LyX 2.2.2 Regards
Re: LyX Menu Bar is Missing
Thanks. I was able to resolve the issue. I looked into KWin System Settings as suggested. A feature in the latest version of KDE Plasma is to blame.

LyX Menu Bar is Missing
The menu bar has disappeared on LyX. I am using Arch Linux. I haven't observed this happening on any of my other applications. My system is up to date. Any idea as to what might have gone wrong? Here's a screengrab: [image: Inline images 1] Regards
Re: Index does not print
Sorry for the delayed reply. I tried to replicate the problem in a file as small as possible (as suggested). I couldn't reproduce it. On that note, for some reason, I had encoding problems with the same .lyx document. I used iconv to resolve that problem.

Single Column Indices
Hi, How does one obtain single column indices? This question has been raised before as regards LaTeX. How does one do it with LyX? Since the default processor appears to be xindy from the documentation, I will need to modify the relevant style? Regards K
Re: Single Column Indices
I resolved this by using the idxlayout package. What would be the use case
for the "options" space in the indexing tab under Document Settings? Just
curious.
\usepackage[columns=1]{idxlayout}

Re: Index does not print
Replacing all special characters (Insert>Symbols) in the document allows me to print the indices. I had inserted the pilcrow symbol in the document. When resolving a problem with conversion I replaced all the symbols in my document with text. Any idea why this works? Are special symbols not allowed in footnote spaces?

Re: Index does not print
Appears to be an encoding related problem. I had pasted some text into LyX. ChkTeX failed. Running iconv to obtain UTF-8 started displaying the index again. Thanks to some of the mails on this thread which mentioned encoding related problems. Since copy pasting is a routine activity, isn't there any way of addressing this? Plus, LyX not giving any indication of this problem makes it difficult for novice users.
