Re: Bug when printing multiple copies with duplex printers
"Ben" == Ben Cazzolato [EMAIL PROTECTED] writes:
Ben Hi Guys,
Ben Using RH 5.0, Lyx 1.0.1.
Ben I tried printing mulitple copies from the print dialog box, where
Ben I set the Copies flag to 2. I'm using a HP5Si with the duplex
Ben option (2 sided printing). 2 copies were sent to the printer and
Ben 2 copies came out.
Ben Now here's the problem. When the number of pages is even all is
Ben well. However, when the number of pages is odd, the second
Ben document does not start on a new piece of paper. For example
Ben with a 5 page document, page 5 of the first copy will be one one
Ben side of the paper and the first page of the second copy will be
Ben on the other.
Ben Is it possible to check if the document has 2 sides selected in
Ben the document layout, and if so assume that they will be using a

Hi Jean-Marc, I hope this was not too much of a bit confusing stuff, especially if you have no working XFree/2 machine nearby. I would suggest that you simply have a look at the stuff if you have a little time and commit it with or without changes, if you think it won't do any harm. Please feel to make or suggest any modifications you wish to see (I'm no native english speaker, so Amir, John etc. may want to fix the language: Please feel free to do that, no need to ask me, no need to know OS/2). I don't think the stuff is perfect and some import and really complicated things like fax and printer setup for LyX on OS/2 are still missing. Anyway it probably will never be perfect, although I already received many suggestions, updates and fixes (I could not fulfill all wishes, as this would need far too much time and space).

Bug report Lyx-1.0.2pre1
Versions 1.7 and 1.8 of insetbib.C does not compile on my machines (Sun Solaris 2.6, and Linux 2.0.36), whereas version 1.6 works perfectly. The error message I get from g++ is the following (for the latest version, on cvs, i.e. 1.8 at this time) insetbib.C: In method `class LString InsetBibtex::getKeys()': insetbib.C:406: base operand of `->' has non-pointer type `FilePtr' *** Error code 1 (getKeys() does not exist in version 1.6) Have a nice day, Yves Capdeboscq
Re: Missing LaTeX Commands
I had an old 1995/06/01 version of LaTeX and hadn't found the answer in the user mailing lists at the time. Subsequently I found said answer and updated my LaTeX distribution accordingly. (Feeling rather embarassed by wasting peoples' time in the process. Sorry all.) Can I suggest that the LaTeX configuration check that the version is sufficient for LyX's requirements. This would avoid such unpleasantness. Thanks for the help though. Angus > Question to both of you: what version of LaTeX are you using?

I get the same problem with g++ 2.8.1 in Digital Unix 4.0. The reason
is that the feof(file) call in line 406 is macro-changed to
[...]
while (! (( file )->_flag & 0020 ) ) {
c = fgetc(file);
[...]
which for some reason I do not understand, is not accepted by
gcc. Adding changing the call to feof(file()) works, so I'll just do
that for now.

Generally, this means that the person installed noweb (and noweb.sty) but didn't run texhash after installing the new style. This issue always comes up with Tex users and I figure lyx uses will generally not be that familiar with Latex styles, etc. Incidently, thanks for the literate support. Nedit is going on the shelf as I have new programming editor :) Justin --- End of forwarded message ---

I hope so; it's hard for me to reproduce, but I did manage 5 time or so--but never when I stripped out other portions of the file. I can't get much more explicit than moving around with the arrow keys, and it seems to have something to do with which direction (left or up) and position when I leave the lower equation. But it always comes after entering the upper equation. rick --

Mhh, I actually don't use the version control in lyx :-) If it's the common case to set a description, I prefer the non-default-value patch. Using the default value the user has to delete the default text before he can enter something that makes sense - that's not so nice. Anyway, commit whatever you like best.

Hi Jean-Marc, I hope this was not too much of a bit confusing stuff, especially if you have no working XFree/2 machine nearby. I would suggest that you simply have a look at the stuff if you have a little time and commit it with or without changes, if you think it won't do any harm. Please feel to make or suggest any modifications you wish to see (I'm no native english speaker, so Amir, John etc. may want to fix the language: Please feel free to do that, no need to ask me, no need to know OS/2). I don't think the stuff is perfect and some import and really complicated things like fax and printer setup for LyX on OS/2 are still missing. Anyway it probably will never be perfect, although I already received many suggestions, updates and fixes (I could not fulfill all wishes, as this would need far too much time and space). But since there seems to be some urgent need for this specific documentation I can always polish it later according to suggestions or better insight. So I simply say: Here it is. Do with the stuff whatever you prefer to do! But there may be updates or fixes later. Greetings, Arnd

Bug report, VC, (on version 1.0.1)
Hello you all, first of all, I'm very impressed by LyX. I am using it smoothly since a while, but noticed just now that even LyX handle file names with spaces inside, we cannot version them because RCS try to handle each part of the file name as a file itself. Edit->Version Control->Register for a file "New File.lyx" produce : ci: New: No such file or directory. ci: File.lyx: No such file or directory. Priority absolute zero ??? I did not try yet with 1.0.2pre1. Best regards. PH Pierre-Henri BOINNARD email:[EMAIL PROTECTED]
