Re: beamer class problems - the solution
If Uwe can give me a description how to produce this error. I never saw it (I don't use any math, though). To reproduce: Load the LyX template that comes with beamer v2.10 and run pdflatex. When enabling the use of amsmath all would be fine. But Angus fixed the problem, thanks. And here the good news: This morning beamer v2.11 was released. It could be downloaded from http://www.ctan.org/tex-archive/macros/latex/contrib/beamer It fixes the incompatibility with xcolor v1.10 but requires now the packages pgf v0.61 and xcolor v1.10. It also fixes the problem with boldsymbol: Actually, the problem is just the missing checking of use amsmath in Layout Document Packages. This is fixed in version 2.11. Therefore beamer provides a new LyX template. Thanks for your help. regards Uwe
preview problems
Trying to get a preview out of LyX under OS X. All 3 ViewPDF choices work, but the resulting PDF is a blurry mess - some kind of approximation of the font that is near-unreadable in Acrobat; here's a sample: lyxsamp.pdf Description: Adobe PDF document Can this be corrected? When I try to preview using ViewDVI the following messages appear on the console: LSOpenFromURLSpec() returned -10814 for application (null) path /tmp/lyx_tmpdir446DjJZRX/lyx_tmpbuf1/Intro.dvi. open[1022] Couldn't open file: /tmp/lyx_tmpdir446DjJZRX/lyx_tmpbuf1/Intro.dvi The referenced file Intro.dvi DOES exist, and indeed if I fire up X windows, I can open it with xdvi. (I'd rather not, as I dislike switching between X and OSX mouse conventions) So what's the problem from within LyX? Is there something wrong in LyXPreferencesConverters?
