Compiling LyX 1.5.0 with QT3

[I Wayan Warmada]

Dear Colleges,
is it possible to compile LyX 1.5.0 stable with QT3
I have not qt4, which is required to this LyX version (beta).
I have read the INSTALL file. It stated that LyX 1.5.0beta1
can only compiled with qt4.

  Nope. You read correctly lyx-1.5.0-beta only works with qt4, not qt3.

  What OS/distribution are you using?

The qt3 frontend that we had in LyX 1.4 has indeed been abandoned for
various reasons and replaced by the new qt4 one. So you have

Are you sure you're getting a degree symbol and not a zero exponent?
Those two are different - degree is a perfect circle while the zero exponent
is a tiny 0.

When I type ^0 I get a zero exponent: ⁰
Typing ALT 0 (in an xterm) gives me the degree: °

The degree symbol works when I paste it into LyX.  The zero exponent
does not print unless I change the document encoding to utf8x.
This encoding is available in LyX 1.5 - I don't know about earlier releases.

JP,

  Interesting. I'm using 1.5svn; can't connect to the Web site to get the
released 1.5. I thought Europe took its holiday in August, not March. :-)

  Perhaps that is the problem. When the pdf file is viewed in an expanded
float there is a lot of white space around it. I've no idea if the clipping
is accomplishing anything.

  I can try converting the .pdf to .eps and see if I lose any resolution.
It's an OMR form for scanning, so high resolution is important.

Thanks,

Rich

Jean-Pierre,

  It was the float, not the graphic itself. When I deleted the float and
placed the graphic itself, up it floated. I'm going to try \hspace{1cm} to

latex2rtf error w/1.5.0

[Bob Lounsbury]

Hello,

Doing a File-Export-Rich Text Format with 1.5.0svn under Mac OSX 1.4.8 I
get the following error:

An error occurred whilst running latex2rtf 'Thesis.tex'

This seems to be caused by one chapter of my thesis, but I just don't know
what would cause the error in that chapter.

Since the server is down, I guess my question is; What is the command I need
to enter into the Terminal to see what the error may be?

Thanks,

Ok, I ran latex2rtf manually and obtain the error:

I'm assuming since I have no problem creating pdf's that the file TeXs
properly and I have a latex2rtf bug.

Any ideas?

Hi Andrés,

ignored it.

What would I have to do to get it working?



Hello Hellmut,

You should place the ebuild in an overlay, lets say
/usr/local/portage. Edit /etc/make.conf adding this:

PORTDIR_OVERLAY=/usr/local/portage


-Then create  these complete route: /usr/local/portage/app-office/lyx/files
- Move the ebuild there
- cp /usr/portage/app-office/lyx/files/lyx.desktop
/usr/local/portage/app-office/lyx/files
- Put the patch in the Gentoo bugzilla (lyx-1.5.0_beta1-gentoo.patch)
in /usr/local/portage/app-office/lyx/files
- ebuild /usr/local/portage/app-office/lyx/lyx-1.5.0_beta1.ebuild digest
- emerge -av lyx



BTW i verified the packages mentioned in the DEPEND sections: most have
already been merged some of the libX's weren't known to eix. ???



The emerge -av lyx should list the dependencies portage is going to merge .

I hope it helps

 Thanks
 
 SteveT

Thanks Sara,

The chngpage package was indeed part ofthe solution.

To summarize the requirements leading up to this, on my Ebook I wanted to have 
my book cover be a large .jpg inserted into my LyX file. No problem clashing 
with the title enviroments or commands, because I used ERT for the entire 
frontmatter. The only thing is, I needed to change the front page (the one 
with the book cover .jpg) to accommodate a .jpg almost 8.5x11, and of course 
the document's native vertical and horizontal margins are nothing like that.

I tried exclusively using commands from chngpage, but although that 
accommodated the graphic, it screwed up the rest of the document, and I found 
no way to confine it to an environment or \begingroup{}\endgroup pair. So in 
the end, here's what I did...

\enlargethispage{1.85in}~\vskip -1.9in\leftskip -1.8in\hfill\vfill
(graphic goes here)
\vfill\hfill\thispagestyle{empty}
\leftskip 0in\rightskip 0in
(page after cover goes here)

Of the preceding ERT, only \enlargethispage{} comes from the chngpage package.

Be aware that the balance between values of \enlargethispage{}, \vskip, 
\leftskip, \rightskip, and the size of the graphic are tricky. I came upon 
many situations where the graphic would shoot all the way to one side or the 
other (that's why I put in the \hfill commands), and also from the top to the 
bottom (I believe the way it works is that the value of \enlargethispage{} 
must exactly accommodate the vertical size of the graphic).

If this sounds like a lot of work, keep in mind that in my last book, I had to 
use pdftk to put a cover graphic on it, and pdftk screwed up the physical 
page numbering.

Once again, thanks Sara, and all the rest of you who have helped me.

Orphan on Page

  How interesting. I copied my Beamer class presentation to KOMA-script
article class to provide a take-away hard copy. Then I changed the page size
to 6x9 so there's plenty of room for notes. At the bottom of page 2 is a
single line. I thought that TeX took care of that.

  Perhaps that is the problem. When the pdf file is viewed in an expanded
float there is a lot of white space around it. I've no idea if the clipping
is accomplishing anything.

  I can try converting the .pdf to .eps and see if I lose any resolution.
It's an OMR form for scanning, so high resolution is important.

latex2rtf error w/1.5.0

[Bob Lounsbury]

Hello,

Doing a File-Export-Rich Text Format with 1.5.0svn under Mac OSX 1.4.8 I
get the following error:

An error occurred whilst running latex2rtf 'Thesis.tex'

This seems to be caused by one chapter of my thesis, but I just don't know
what would cause the error in that chapter.

Since the server is down, I guess my question is; What is the command I need
to enter into the Terminal to see what the error may be?

What would I have to do to get it working?



Hello Hellmut,

You should place the ebuild in an overlay, lets say
/usr/local/portage. Edit /etc/make.conf adding this:

PORTDIR_OVERLAY=/usr/local/portage


-Then create  these complete route: /usr/local/portage/app-office/lyx/files
- Move the ebuild there
- cp /usr/portage/app-office/lyx/files/lyx.desktop
/usr/local/portage/app-office/lyx/files
- Put the patch in the Gentoo bugzilla (lyx-1.5.0_beta1-gentoo.patch)
in /usr/local/portage/app-office/lyx/files
- ebuild /usr/local/portage/app-office/lyx/lyx-1.5.0_beta1.ebuild digest
- emerge -av lyx



BTW i verified the packages mentioned in the DEPEND sections: most have
already been merged some of the libX's weren't known to eix. ???



The emerge -av lyx should list the dependencies portage is going to merge .

 Thanks
 
 SteveT

Thanks Sara,

The chngpage package was indeed part ofthe solution.

To summarize the requirements leading up to this, on my Ebook I wanted to have 
my book cover be a large .jpg inserted into my LyX file. No problem clashing 
with the title enviroments or commands, because I used ERT for the entire 
frontmatter. The only thing is, I needed to change the front page (the one 
with the book cover .jpg) to accommodate a .jpg almost 8.5x11, and of course 
the document's native vertical and horizontal margins are nothing like that.

I tried exclusively using commands from chngpage, but although that 
accommodated the graphic, it screwed up the rest of the document, and I found 
no way to confine it to an environment or \begingroup{}\endgroup pair. So in 
the end, here's what I did...

\enlargethispage{1.85in}~\vskip -1.9in\leftskip -1.8in\hfill\vfill
(graphic goes here)
\vfill\hfill\thispagestyle{empty}
\leftskip 0in\rightskip 0in
(page after cover goes here)

Of the preceding ERT, only \enlargethispage{} comes from the chngpage package.

Be aware that the balance between values of \enlargethispage{}, \vskip, 
\leftskip, \rightskip, and the size of the graphic are tricky. I came upon 
many situations where the graphic would shoot all the way to one side or the 
other (that's why I put in the \hfill commands), and also from the top to the 
bottom (I believe the way it works is that the value of \enlargethispage{} 
must exactly accommodate the vertical size of the graphic).

If this sounds like a lot of work, keep in mind that in my last book, I had to 
use pdftk to put a cover graphic on it, and pdftk screwed up the physical 
page numbering.

Once again, thanks Sara, and all the rest of you who have helped me.

Orphan on Page

[Rich Shepard]

  How interesting. I copied my Beamer class presentation to KOMA-script
article class to provide a take-away hard copy. Then I changed the page size
to 6x9 so there's plenty of room for notes. At the bottom of page 2 is a
single line. I thought that TeX took care of that.

  What have I missed?

 Nope. You read correctly lyx-1.5.0-beta only works with qt4, not qt3.

Yes, I have tried to compile it before reading the INSTALL file as usually for 
LyX 1.4 series. After getting an error, I read the INSTALL file which is the 
new LyX version can be installed only with qt4.

 What OS/distribution are you using?

I use SuSE 10.0. I have tried to find suitable qt4 rpms packages for this

 Those two are different - degree is a perfect circle while the zero

 When I type ^0 I get a zero exponent: ⁰

 The degree symbol works when I paste it into LyX.  The zero exponent

 This encoding is available in LyX 1.5 - I don't know about earlier

On my keyboard, the r-alt ^ 0 sequence gives me the degree symbol: °

Interestingly, the sequence r-alt 0 ^ also gives me that. So obviously
the r-alt 0 can't work in this case.

I don't know what gives me the 0 exponent. I haven't messed with any
mappings other than to set right-alt as my compose key. This is a

Hello,

The qt3 frontend that we had in LyX 1.4 has indeed been abandoned for
various reasons and replaced by the new qt4 one. So you have
unfortunately to hunt for a proper qt4 package somewhere.

The one thing this doesn't do is, upon final sort, sort by count descending

Do you mean you want a sort key composed of the count, sorted 
numerically and descending, and the name, sorted lexically and 
ascending?  So that words with the same count will be grouped together 
in the output and, within that group, sorted lexically?


Change the final sort to specify a multipart key:

   sort -k 1nr -k 2

That says "sort by a key composed of the first field, taken as numeric, 
in reverse order; and the second field, using the default options 
(lexicographic and ascending).


This syntax is standard for sort(1) as of SUSv3, by the way - it's not

latex2rtf error w/1.5.0

[Bob Lounsbury]

Hello,

Doing a File->Export->Rich Text Format with 1.5.0svn under Mac OSX 1.4.8 I
get the following error:

"An error occurred whilst running latex2rtf 'Thesis.tex'"

This seems to be caused by one chapter of my thesis, but I just don't know
what would cause the error in that chapter.

Since the server is down, I guess my question is; What is the command I need
to enter into the Terminal to see what the error may be?

Thanks,
Bob Lounsbury

Export to TeX and then run latex2rtf manually.

Re: latex2rtf error w/1.5.0

[Bob Lounsbury]

Ok, I ran latex2rtf manually and obtain the error:

"Error! Nesting problem.  latex2rtf bug, if file TeXs properly"

I'm assuming since I have no problem creating pdf's that the file "TeXs
properly" and I have a latex2rtf bug.

Any ideas?

Thanks,
Bob

Hi Andrés,
thanks for the pointer to the ebuild for lyx-1.5.0b1 ebuild.

I downloaded it, editet the options for the suffix etc. as indicated by
Georg and Russel but I couldn't convince emerge to use it. eix too
ignored it.

What would I have to do to get it working?



Hello Hellmut,

You should place the ebuild in an overlay, lets say
"/usr/local/portage". Edit /etc/make.conf adding this:

PORTDIR_OVERLAY="/usr/local/portage"


-Then create  these complete route: /usr/local/portage/app-office/lyx/files
- Move the ebuild there
- cp /usr/portage/app-office/lyx/files/lyx.desktop
/usr/local/portage/app-office/lyx/files
- Put the patch in the Gentoo bugzilla (lyx-1.5.0_beta1-gentoo.patch)
in /usr/local/portage/app-office/lyx/files
- ebuild /usr/local/portage/app-office/lyx/lyx-1.5.0_beta1.ebuild digest
- emerge -av lyx



BTW i verified the packages mentioned in the DEPEND sections: most have
already been merged some of the libX's weren't known to eix. ???



The emerge -av lyx should list the dependencies portage is going to merge .

I hope it helps

No, unfortunately not. (In fact, we don't even know what the problem is 
and we haven't been able to reach person who has direct access to the

Thanks Sara,

The chngpage package was indeed part ofthe solution.

To summarize the requirements leading up to this, on my Ebook I wanted to have 
my book cover be a large .jpg inserted into my LyX file. No problem clashing 
with the title enviroments or commands, because I used ERT for the entire 
frontmatter. The only thing is, I needed to change the front page (the one 
with the book cover .jpg) to accommodate a .jpg almost 8.5x11, and of course 
the document's native vertical and horizontal margins are nothing like that.

I tried exclusively using commands from chngpage, but although that 
accommodated the graphic, it screwed up the rest of the document, and I found 
no way to confine it to an environment or \begingroup{}\endgroup pair. So in 
the end, here's what I did...

\enlargethispage{1.85in}~\vskip -1.9in\leftskip -1.8in\hfill\vfill
(graphic goes here)
\vfill\hfill\thispagestyle{empty}
\leftskip 0in\rightskip 0in
(page after cover goes here)

Of the preceding ERT, only \enlargethispage{} comes from the chngpage package.

Be aware that the balance between values of \enlargethispage{}, \vskip, 
\leftskip, \rightskip, and the size of the graphic are tricky. I came upon 
many situations where the graphic would shoot all the way to one side or the 
other (that's why I put in the \hfill commands), and also from the top to the 
bottom (I believe the way it works is that the value of \enlargethispage{} 
must exactly accommodate the vertical size of the graphic).

If this sounds like a lot of work, keep in mind that in my last book, I had to 
use pdftk to put a cover graphic on it, and pdftk screwed up the physical 
page numbering.

Once again, thanks Sara, and all the rest of you who have helped me.

Orphan on Page

[Rich Shepard]

  How interesting. I copied my Beamer class presentation to KOMA-script
article class to provide a take-away hard copy. Then I changed the page size
to 6"x9" so there's plenty of room for notes. At the bottom of page 2 is a
single line. I thought that TeX took care of that.

  What have I missed?

Re: Compiling LyX 1.5.0 with QT3

Yes, I have tried to compile it before reading the INSTALL file as usually for 
LyX 1.4 series. After getting an error, I read the INSTALL file which is the 
new LyX version can be installed only with qt4.

> What OS/distribution are you using?

I use SuSE 10.0. I have tried to find suitable qt4 rpms packages for this 
version of SuSE but not yet found.

Thank you for your response,

Unless there are consequences that TeX judges "worse" than an orphan, if this 
specific line is moved to the next page. This is always a pro- and con-game.

You could increase \clubpenalty (which is set to 500 initially; e.g. 
\clubpenalty = 1).

On my keyboard, the r-alt ^ 0 sequence gives me the degree symbol: °

Interestingly, the sequence r-alt 0 ^ also gives me that. So obviously
the r-alt 0 can't work in this case.

I don't know what gives me the 0 exponent. I haven't messed with any
mappings other than to set right-alt as my compose key. This is a
standard Ubuntu 6.10 system.
