Hi all,
I noticed that LyX was acting differently between computers and am
trying to figure out the source of this issue.
One computer cannot compile a file that uses biblatex with the apa
bibliography style, while the other two computers can. Also, the first
computer compiles lines slightly differently so that a paper compiles
to 110 pages, while on the other two computers, the paper compiles to
109 pages.
The first computer initially had an older version of LyX, 2.3.0
(February 24, 2018), but when I updated it to the newest version, LyX
2.3.5.2 (June 25, 2020), the problem persists. I also found the
version that matches the other computers in the archive, LyX 2.3.1-1,
and the problem persists with this as well.
When I checked the preferences on LyX on each of the computers, the
first one differs by not having `pdflatex` as an option under
Preferences > File Handling > File Formats > Default Output Formats,
whereas this option exists on the other computers. I am unable to find
the `pdflatex` option on the first computer regardless of the version
of LyX.
The next thing that I did was to reinstall MikTeX on the first
computer. This did not seem to resolve the problem, although it seems
to have caused errors in compilation ("undefined control sequence",
"Missing number, treated as zero", and "Missing glyphs!").
Can someone please help me troubleshoot this?
Thanks in advance,
Dave
First, I would recommend you sending a MWE for each of the problem you
have listed. Users of the list can try these MWEs on their computers and
tell you if there is a problem with the LyX file or LyX.
Second, missing "pdflatex" option under LyX may be a sign of faulty
MikTeX system and trailing faulty LyX configuration. I am guessing you
are using Windows. You should install the latest updates of MikTeX and
update everything for both user and admin mode.
I would also recommend testing your MikTeX setup with a MWE of LaTeX file.
You can also re-configure your LyX and see possible errors.
