lyx-1.5 beta 3 hanging file dialogs
Hello, I have some problems with my fresh installed lyx 1.5 beta 3. When I open a dialog (open file, save file, insert image, ...) which uses informations from filesystem (i.e. directory listing), die dialog hangs for a while. It seems there is an timeout. Is it possible, that the dialog is waitung to connect to network drives (shared folders), which are currently not available? How to prevent this behavior? Many thanks for helpfull hints - Tino
[SOLVED] Improper \prevdepth
After experiencing tons of weird LaTeX errors, and reading this: http://www.tex.ac.uk/cgi-bin/texfaq2html?label=erroradvice, I found that the use of scrheadings was responsible for the weird behaviour. I rewrote the preamble and fine-combed my ERT parts, and finally all traces of scrheadings were gone. So I can produce output again now. What happened is this: scrheadings seems to affect the calculation of typearea, and as a result, I had ! Latex error: Float(s) lost. I don't really understand that, but hey, the problem wasn't related to LyX and I solved it, so what the heck. Hope this is useful for anyone experiencing similar problems. -- Christian
A few problems with Lyx 1.5 beta3
I have installed lyx 1.5 beta 3 version (I used 1.4.4), and I have a few problems 1) Crashes are frequent, for reasons which remain obscure to me. 2) When I open some documents (created in version 1.4.4) the preview of mathematical formula only works for new formulae, for some others it works immediately for the whole document. Is there a way to force the preview? 3) The preview of mathematical formulae is too large, much larger than in 1.4.4, and much larger than in the final latex document. How can I reduce the preview size? Thank you JEan

This has got to be a LyX or LaTeX FAQ but Google isn't helping me much and
my LaTeX books haven't arrived yet...
I have set up two character styles, XYZkeyword and XYZvar. They are defined
in an xyz_classes.inc file in my $HOME/.lyx/layouts as per the standard,
like so:
%
CharStyle XYZvar
LatexType Command
LatexName xyzvar
Preamble
\newcommand{\xyzvar}[1]{
\textit{#1}
}
EndPreamble
Font
Shape Italic
EndFont
LabelFont
Color blue
EndFont
End
CharStyle XYZkeyword
LatexType Command
LatexName xyzkeyword
Preamble
\newcommand{\xyzkeyword}[1]{
\textbf{#1}
}
EndPreamble
Font
Series Bold
EndFont
LabelFont
Color blue
EndFont
End
%
My problem is that when a document containing either of these character
styles is displayed/printed, the vars and keywords are delimited by extra
spaces. So something trivial like
define filename = basename.extension
where localname, basename and extension are identified in LyX as HCvars, is
displayed as
define filename = basename . extension
and keywords are similarly treated.
What do I need to suppress the spaces?
Cheers
Trevor

Re: Physical units
I use the SIunits package for latex to do all my units. It is a bit
cumbersome until you get the hang of it but then works great. I just
include it in the LyX preamble, here is what I use in the preamble for

Re: Physical units
You could probably create a macro for it, which would make the input
much easier --- you would only need to use the ERT once, when creating
the macro. (I haven't use the SIunits package, maybe it's simple enough
to use that macros are not even necessary; but if you find yourself
typing a lot of ERT over and over again, it may be helpful).
To learn about how to create and use macros in math, see the User Guide,
Section 5.6. I think there's been quite a bit of development regarding
math macros going on lately, I'm not sure though how much of it is
already in the beta versions.
Good luck!

Re: Questions regarding hyperref
Hi! However there are some problems that I need to fix (I use Book as document class, Lyx 1.4.3): I never used book class... 1. The bookmarks to some sections such as Acknowledgement, Glossary etc point to wrong pages. How? Like one or two section before that? Put in a page beak before these environments I created these with Chapter*. * means that it won't be in the TOC therefore they won't be indexed and no links generated. there's a manual for hyperref which tells you how to set additional anchors. 2. How can I added hyperref to bibliographic references? It would be nice if when I clicked on [1], the document would jump to Bibliography section and shown reference [1]. 3. The captions in the List of Tables and List of Figures and sections in TOC do not wrap when the reach the right side of the page. How can this be fixed? Can you supply a minimal example of your text? Sorry, I have hyperref working correctly but can't tell where your errors come from. But the manual is quite good, too.

As you are using LyX 1.5 you can enter it directly via the keyboard. The only thing you have to do
is to use the default encoding for English in your case. Attached is a LyX-file showing this.
You can alternatively use the ERT-command
\textmu
when you add this to your document preamble:
\usepackage{textcomp}
Concerning units, don't forget that there is only a hlaf space between number and units. A half
space is produced in LyX with the shortcut Ctrl-Shift Space (menu Insert- Formatting - Thin
space), see also the attached example.

That page is intendend for question regarding the use of the wiki, and not issues related to using LyX. So I'm posting the question here, hoping that 'LyXWinUser' will get an answer. An interesting question is whether LyXWinUser knows about this group, given that he/she posted the question to the wiki. I just took a peek at Site.FAQ and didn't see the question, so I assume you sanitized the page? Perhaps it would make sense to post temporarily a response directing LWU here (and then remove it after some reasonable period, or after LWU posts something here)? Also, maybe it would help to add something at the top of Site.FAQ directing people here if they have questions not appearing on the FAQ? With an answer, the question better belongs in e.g. Windows.FAQ. Not sure if that's a good idea -- fixes for Windows frequently involve mystic runes and the sacrifice of small furry animals, and posting that on the wiki is liable to bring both fundamentalists and PETA down on your neck. ;-) PPS: Here's the text: Q:##Q: How to install LyX 1.4.4 successfully for Windows XP? LyX 1.4.4 was installed for Windows XP (SP2) with LyXWinInstaller (small) but it could not be launched after installation. The pop up message was too quickly shown and closed so the error message could not even be seen. MikTeX 2.4 was installed before LyX 1.4.4. There is no such file C:\Documents and Settings\your name\Application Data\lyx1.4.x but two files: meanings.dat and words.dat in the folder C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Application Data\Aiksaurus. The attempt for fixing the error using the procedure for LyX 1.4.1 was tried but still unsuccessful. Any idea on how to launch LyX in Windows XP? Any advice is greatly appreciated. The odds favor a failure of the configuration script, but without the specific error message it's a bit hard to guess what went splat. To see the error message, LWU can open a DOS window, change to the LyX bin directory, and run lyxc.exe there. If it's the dreaded no text classes message, then LWU should (a) verify that Python was installed, (b) verify that MikTeX is working and on the command path (running 'latex --version' from the command prompt should do the trick), and (c) change to the ...\Application Data directory and run 'path to python\python.exe path to LyX\Resources\configure.py'. I suspect this is what LWU meant by the procedure for LyX 1.4.1 but maybe not. If (a) and (b) check out and (c) fails, we need to see the output from (c). /Paul

Re: Questions regarding hyperref
Hi Well, this example file did not work for me with ps2pdf. So I decided to try pdflatex and that worked. Unfortunately pdflatex does not like my real document. When I try to view the real document I get a message There was an arror opening this document. The file is damaged and could not be repaired when acrobat starts. Is that because I all my figures are *.eps? Is there a way of fixing this? I don't realy like pdflatex as it generates large pdf files (my file is already almost 6MB when generated with ps2pdf) but if that's the only way to get long captions to wrap, I guess I'll use it. BTW the long captions did behave properly before I started using the hyperref package. And to set the hyperlink anchors I'll use \phantomsection.

I've had Windows do some significant navel gazing at inconvenient times, which I've attributed to a surfeit of patience waiting for off-line drives to answer. There *might* be a way to set this in the registry, but I'm not at all sure. I think the default might be 10 seconds, and if it waits serially (rather than in parallel) for a bunch of disconnected drives, that could add up. The one sure solution is to disconnect/un-map unavailable drives. /Paul
Force document regeneration
Sometimes Lyx does not detect that I've changed a child document and when I select View-update-pdf(pdflatex), it does not regenerate the pdf. The only work around I've found is make changes that have no effect like adding blank lines to ERT in the top level document. Is there a better way? Thanks Phil

[SOLVED] Improper \prevdepth
After experiencing tons of weird LaTeX errors, and reading this: http://www.tex.ac.uk/cgi-bin/texfaq2html?label=erroradvice, I found that the use of scrheadings was responsible for the weird behaviour. I rewrote the preamble and fine-combed my ERT parts, and finally all traces of scrheadings were gone. So I can produce output again now. What happened is this: scrheadings seems to affect the calculation of typearea, and as a result, I had ! Latex error: Float(s) lost. I don't really understand that, but hey, the problem wasn't related to LyX and I solved it, so what the heck. Hope this is useful for anyone experiencing similar problems. -- Christian
A few problems with Lyx 1.5 beta3
I have installed lyx 1.5 beta 3 version (I used 1.4.4), and I have a few problems 1) Crashes are frequent, for reasons which remain obscure to me. 2) When I open some documents (created in version 1.4.4) the preview of mathematical formula only works for new formulae, for some others it works immediately for the whole document. Is there a way to force the preview? 3) The preview of mathematical formulae is too large, much larger than in 1.4.4, and much larger than in the final latex document. How can I reduce the preview size? Thank you JEan

This has got to be a LyX or LaTeX FAQ but Google isn't helping me much and

I have set up two character styles, XYZkeyword and XYZvar. They are defined
in an xyz_classes.inc file in my $HOME/.lyx/layouts as per the standard,
like so:
%
CharStyle XYZvar
LatexType Command
LatexName xyzvar
Preamble
\newcommand{\xyzvar}[1]{
\textit{#1}

\newcommand{\xyzkeyword}[1]{

Font

EndFont
LabelFont

My problem is that when a document containing either of these character
styles is displayed/printed, the vars and keywords are delimited by extra
spaces. So something trivial like
define filename = basename.extension
where localname, basename and extension are identified in LyX as HCvars, is
displayed as
define filename = basename . extension
and keywords are similarly treated.
What do I need to suppress the spaces?

Re: Physical units
You could probably create a macro for it, which would make the input
much easier --- you would only need to use the ERT once, when creating
the macro. (I haven't use the SIunits package, maybe it's simple enough
to use that macros are not even necessary; but if you find yourself
typing a lot of ERT over and over again, it may be helpful).
To learn about how to create and use macros in math, see the User Guide,
Section 5.6. I think there's been quite a bit of development regarding
math macros going on lately, I'm not sure though how much of it is
already in the beta versions.
Good luck!

As you are using LyX 1.5 you can enter it directly via the keyboard. The only thing you have to do
is to use the default encoding for English in your case. Attached is a LyX-file showing this.
You can alternatively use the ERT-command
\textmu
when you add this to your document preamble:
\usepackage{textcomp}
Concerning units, don't forget that there is only a hlaf space between number and units. A half
space is produced in LyX with the shortcut Ctrl-Shift Space (menu Insert- Formatting - Thin
space), see also the attached example.

Hi,
You can center scaled tables by enclosing them in

This is very helpful to me. Thanks for posting

One thing I did find strange is that it would only
work when the table was left justified. If I
tried to
center and scale it I received an error during the
latex run.
So, at least for now, I have to settle for keeping
the
tables on the left side of the page.

Algorithm listing
Is there a way of getting code listings to continue onto another page using float algorithm. If not, does the latest beta version support a multi-page float algorithm. Thanks

If not, does the latest beta version support a multi-page float algorithm. You can use the new listings inset (and child document) in lyx 1.5.0beta3. You can set the inset to be 'float' and insert title and label as usual. For child document listings, you will have to add option float in the parameter box or globally at document - settings - text layout - listings parameters. Cheers, Bo
Re: beta 3 and lyx2lyx
Then, can you manually convert your file? I mean, under a command prompt, run python -tt /usr/local/share/lyx-1.5.0b3/lyx2lyx/lyx2lyx -t 221 yourfile.lyx newfile.lyx Bo With this command I can run lyx2lyx but I get several errors and I can´t get a file correctly exported. I get this message: UnicodeEncodeError: latin-1 codec can´t encode character u\u0301 in position 0: ordinal not in range(256) When in the file I deleted the character that produce error and re run lyx2lyx I get a new error with u\u2044 character and so on. When I deleted all character with problem, lyx2lyx export 99% of my file and become crazy: At the end of file lyx2lyx get error with all accented character. When I duplicate paragraph with accented character lyx2lyx get error in second paragraph while first paragraph (with accented character) is accepted. Plus, Lyx 1.5.0 beta 3 became crazy, a shadow of cursor remains in the position that cursor left. And main screen of lyx is not redraw properly. Appears error that only one or two paragraph is showed. When I deleted all accented character at the end of file, lyx2lyx stop run succesfully but when I run lyx 1.4.4 the new file appears corrupt and is truncated. Marcelo __ Preguntá. Respondé. Descubrí.

Re: Question from the wiki
[EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Hi, Someone going under 'LyXWinUser' placed the following on a wiki page called Site.FAQ. That page is intendend for question regarding the use of the wiki, and not issues related to using LyX. So I'm posting the question here, hoping that 'LyXWinUser' will get an answer. An interesting question is whether LyXWinUser knows about this group, given that he/she posted the question to the wiki. I just took a peek at Site.FAQ and didn't see the question, so I assume you sanitized the page? Perhaps it would make sense to post temporarily a response directing LWU here (and then remove it after some reasonable period, or after LWU posts something here)? Also, maybe it would help to add something at the top of Site.FAQ directing people here if they have questions not appearing on the FAQ? With an answer, the question better belongs in e.g. Windows.FAQ. Not sure if that's a good idea -- fixes for Windows frequently involve mystic runes and the sacrifice of small furry animals, and posting that on the wiki is liable to bring both fundamentalists and PETA down on your neck. ;-) PPS: Here's the text: Q:##Q: How to install LyX 1.4.4 successfully for Windows XP? LyX 1.4.4 was installed for Windows XP (SP2) with LyXWinInstaller (small) but it could not be launched after installation. The pop up message was too quickly shown and closed so the error message could not even be seen. MikTeX 2.4 was installed before LyX 1.4.4. There is no such file C:\Documents and Settings\your name\Application Data\lyx1.4.x but two files: meanings.dat and words.dat in the folder C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Application Data\Aiksaurus. The attempt for fixing the error using the procedure for LyX 1.4.1 was tried but still unsuccessful. Any idea on how to launch LyX in Windows XP? Any advice is greatly appreciated. The odds favor a failure of the configuration script, but without the specific error message it's a bit hard to guess what went splat. To see the error message, LWU can open a DOS window, change to the LyX bin directory, and run lyxc.exe there. If it's the dreaded no text classes message, then LWU should (a) verify that Python was installed, (b) verify that MikTeX is working and on the command path (running 'latex --version' from the command prompt should do the trick), and (c) change to the ...\Application Data directory and run 'path to python\python.exe path to LyX\Resources\configure.py'. I suspect this is what LWU meant by the procedure for LyX 1.4.1 but maybe not. If (a) and (b) check out and (c) fails, we need to see the output from (c). /Paul

Re: Questions regarding hyperref
Hi Well, this example file did not work for me with ps2pdf. So I decided to try pdflatex and that worked. Unfortunately pdflatex does not like my real document. When I try to view the real document I get a message There was an arror opening this document. The file is damaged and could not be repaired when acrobat starts. Is that because I all my figures are *.eps? Is there a way of fixing this? I don't realy like pdflatex as it generates large pdf files (my file is already almost 6MB when generated with ps2pdf) but if that's the only way to get long captions to wrap, I guess I'll use it. BTW the long captions did behave properly before I started using the hyperref package. And to set the hyperlink anchors I'll use \phantomsection.

(Actually, I could have stopped that sentence after 'systems'.) I'm pretty sure the file dialogs use the OS API to do file system operations, so it's nothing LyX (nor Qt) can control. I've had Windows do some significant navel gazing at inconvenient times, which I've attributed to a surfeit of patience waiting for off-line drives to answer. There *might* be a way to set this in the registry, but I'm not at all sure. I think the default might be 10 seconds, and if it waits serially (rather than in parallel) for a bunch of disconnected drives, that could add up. The one sure solution is to disconnect/un-map unavailable drives. /Paul
Force document regeneration
Sometimes Lyx does not detect that I've changed a child document and when I select View-update-pdf(pdflatex), it does not regenerate the pdf. The only work around I've found is make changes that have no effect like adding blank lines to ERT in the top level document. Is there a better way? Thanks Phil

Re: Math Panel

[SOLVED] Improper \prevdepth
After experiencing tons of weird LaTeX errors, and reading this: http://www.tex.ac.uk/cgi-bin/texfaq2html?label=erroradvice, I found that the use of scrheadings was responsible for the weird behaviour. I rewrote the preamble and fine-combed my ERT parts, and finally all traces of scrheadings were gone. So I can produce output again now. What happened is this: scrheadings seems to affect the calculation of typearea, and as a result, I had "! Latex error: Float(s) lost". I don't really understand that, but hey, the problem wasn't related to LyX and I solved it, so what the heck. Hope this is useful for anyone experiencing similar problems. -- Christian
A few problems with Lyx 1.5 beta3
I have installed lyx 1.5 beta 3 version (I used 1.4.4), and I have a few problems 1) Crashes are frequent, for reasons which remain obscure to me. 2) When I open some documents (created in version 1.4.4) the preview of mathematical formula only works for new formulae, for some others it works immediately for the whole document. Is there a way to force the preview? 3) The preview of mathematical formulae is too large, much larger than in 1.4.4, and much larger than in the final latex document. How can I reduce the preview size? Thank you JEan
