Lyx 1.5 RC1 Mac, Problem with absolute Path
Hi fellow Lyx Users, I recently started to use the Lyx RC1 and I am very impressed. I realy like the new outline TOC feature. But I do have a Problem with Lyx Files I recieve from other People. Aparently Lyx saves Bibtex Bibliographies with an absolute path. That leads to problems when the files are moved ore a users home directory does not exist on other Peoples machines. When I try to open those files, Lyx crashes. Unfortunately there is no other way than tu manually adjust theses Path references with another editor. Once this is done, the file opens without problems. I am not sure what to do with this finding, is it a bug? Does it only affect Mac Users? Regards, Alex

Figure Latex error
Hi! I am working with Lyx 1.4 (for windows). After inserting a graphic

The control sequence at the end of the top line
of your error message was never \def'ed. If you have

spelling (e.g., `I\hbox'). Otherwise just continue,
and I'll forget about whatever was undefined.
Please explain me what to do, taking into consideration I have no idea
about Latex and it´s the first time I use Lyx ;)...
By the way, where should I save my figures..should it be on the same

crash with rc1
Hi, don't know if this issue is known, I got a crash today with rc1 on winxp. It apparently happened while I hit backspace and kept it pressed a little. The error information window contained the following: PreferencesPolicy: No transition for input SMI_RESTORE from state INITIAL This was repeated 4 times, then: Completed Then, upon restart: TextClassList::Read: no textclasses found! Completed ...and it does that on every restart, refusing to really start up; even reinstalling doesn't seem to work, at least using runas, haven't tried to really log on as admin yet. BTW, I never understand why Windows software that requires admin privileges to install then at the end of installation asks if the program should be executed. Usually the program shouldn't be run under the admin account IMHO. Thanks, Sven

Thank you for posting the PPC version.

By the way, where should I save my figures..should it be on the same
diretory where the .lyx document is or could be anywhere in my computer?
Thanks a lot!

crash with rc1
Hi, don't know if this issue is known, I got a crash today with rc1 on winxp. It apparently happened while I hit backspace and kept it pressed a little. The error information window contained the following: PreferencesPolicy: No transition for input SMI_RESTORE from state INITIAL Completed Then, upon restart: TextClassList::Read: no textclasses found! Completed ...and it does that on every restart, refusing to really start up; even reinstalling doesn't seem to work, at least using "runas", haven't tried to really log on as admin yet. BTW, I never understand why Windows software that requires admin privileges to install then at the end of installation asks if the program should be executed. Usually the program shouldn't be run under the admin account IMHO. Thanks, Sven
Re: crash with rc1
don't know if this issue is known, I got a crash today with rc1 on winxp. It apparently happened while I hit backspace and kept it pressed a little. The error information window contained the following: Please compare to the following (already fixed) bugs: http://bugzilla.lyx.org/show_bug.cgi?id=3790, http://bugzilla.lyx.org/show_bug.cgi?id=3801, http://bugzilla.lyx.org/show_bug.cgi?id=3809 I guess it's the same problem. A backtrace would help to be sure. Or try the latest svn version. Stefan PGP.sig Description: Signierter Teil der Nachricht
Re: 1.5.0rc1 Mac PPC G3 typing lag
Thank you for posting the PPC version. I am running Mac OS X 10.4.9 on a dual proc 1.8 GHz PPC G5 with 3 Gigs of ram and the 1.5.0rc1 universal binary I downloaded from the lyx homepage runs like a dog. Typing into a table literally took more than a second for each letter to appear. Typing normal text wasn't too horrible, sluggish, but not completely unusable. But I just downloaded the PPC version from the link below and it runs like a champ with no perf problems. Thanks! Yaron Gerard Ateshian wrote: I also found that the universal binary for 1.5rc1 runs slowly on Mac OS X PPC (I have a PowerBook G4, 1.67 GHz, 2 GB memory), so I compiled my own version and it runs just fine.

Numbering related equations with subindexes (2.1, 2.2 etc.)
I have some related equations that I would like to number 2.1, 2.2 etc. instead of 2, 3 as the other equation numbers run. Is this possible? i.e something like a = b (1) blah blah c = b (2.1) c = d (2.2) some more blah e = mc^2 (3) Thanks

By default, it adds a letter to equation numbers, but you can modify that. I've attached an example (from LyX 1.5.0rc1 -- let me know if you're on 1.4.x and can't load it). /Paul subequations.lyx Description: application/lyx
Logo and Margins
I need to insert a logo in the pages upper left. I use this code for that in
the preamble:
\usepackage{graphicx}
\usepackage{fancyhdr}
\usepackage[left=1.5cm,right=1.5cm,top=3cm,head=2cm,headsep=0.5cm]{geometry}
\setlength{\headwidth}{\textwidth}
\renewcommand{\headrulewidth}{0pt}
\fancyhead[L]{\includegraphics[width=1.5cm]{D:/home/lyx/vista.eps}}
\pagestyle{fancy}
The output is OK, but I need to change the left margin bellow the logo
appears. Something like to make a box with the logo that appears in the top
of all pages with the margins in left=1.5cm, right=1.5cm, top=3cm, and the
text bellow that with margins in left=3.5cm, right=2.5cm. Thanks for the
help.
Re: keyboard issue with 1.5rc1
[EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Hi everyone, This new version sure is really nice! I only have a little discomfort regarding key strokes. With 1.4 when I was in text mode and, for instance, typed <[> a math inset would automatically open with a full pair of brakets, the same for greek letters and so forth with all math symbols. With the new version I don't know how to do the same. When I try as before to insert directly greek letters then nothing happens (except a "Command disabled" message in the status bar). I need first to create an inset. That's annoying. But worse still is that when I'm within a math inset and type <[> I only end up with a single braket... I guess the reason is that to enter a "[" I need to type <5> and the program first processes , not coinsidering the two strokes as a single character. I was wondering if this were a new feature, and if so how I could tune it, or if I need to put some config file somewhere in the bindings, or if I did something wrong... though I felt I only compiled it and installed it and did nothing more unwise! I am willing to submit any necessary file if that helps, but I wouldn't know which. thank you for any answer, and for this nice piece of soft! Loïc Teyssier Config: - LyX 1.5rc1 Qt-4.2.1 and Qt-3.3.7 Debian Linux (etch) P6 (Intel Core2) French keyboard For what it's worth, with rc1 on Windows, alt-m [ opens a math inset with a matched pair of brackets (same for parentheses and braces). However, alt-m \ gets me the "command disabled" message; to open a math inset and type a Greek letter, I need alt-m m \alpha (or ctrl-m to get the math inset). When inside a math inset, alt-m [ again produces a matched pair. /Paul
