two-column in Hebrew is reversed

[Peleg Sapir]

Hello,

I'm using lyx 1.6.4, with culmus-latex package.
The document type is article (hebrew).
system: ubuntu 9.10.

When I choose the Two-column document option in
Document--Settings...--Text Layout, when I render the document to pdf or
dvi, the two columns are divided as in LTR - the text is written first in
the left column, then in the right column. As this is good for English
and/or any other LRT langugae, it's awfully wrong in Hebrew, which is
written RTL.

further more, I can't seem to make the title, author and abstract layouts to
come before the two-columns splitting.

Here's a link to a tar.gz containing pdf and lyx file examples of the issue:
http://uploading.com/files/2d865245/two-column_example.tar.gz/

If anyone can help with these two issues, I'll be very thankful.

All the best,

Peleg S.

Lyx + apacite + natbib problem

[teelmo]

Hi,

I'm using Lyx and I want to have apacite like citations. I have chosen
apacite as the biblio style, I have natbib selected in my document settings.
Unfortunatly I get an error when using Lyx's build in citate option (see
attachment). This error comes up when I'm building to PDF.

http://n2.nabble.com/file/n4004610/Clipboard01.jpg 

When using citations in ERT-box they work fine. For example like this:

\citep{IP_2009}

But if Lyx generates that code the error comes up.

I'm using Miktex 2.8, Lyx 1.6.4.1 on Windows XP

Bibliography

[Giulio]

hi

I have some problems with biblatex's bibliography. Indeed when i put in ERT
\printbibliography the output is empty.

I have opened the preamble of LyX and i have done all the point described in
http://wiki.lyx.org/BibTeX/Biblatex.

So i have in the preamble:

\usepackage[style=numeric]{biblatex} 

\bibliography{C:/Documents and Settings/User/Desktop/PROVA1/biblio} 

I have inserted also the Lyx's note and inside it the bibliography of
biblatex (Insert→List/TOC→BibTeX Bibliography)

After, at the end of the document, I have put in ERT \printbibliography. But
in the output there aren't the books. 

There is written only:

References

and after nothing.
HELP me plz

Thank you.

Using Insert  List  BibTeX bibliography opens a dialog where you can

LyX doesn't find LaTeX (?)

[Sadjad Siddiq]

Hello!

I'm having some trouble to get LyX working. Whenever I open a document I get
this error message:

The layout file XXX requested by this document is not usable.

I have run Reconfigure several times (successfully as LyX proclaims), also
from the command prompt, reinstalled LyX and Miktex (also different versions)
And now I have tried to use TexLive. That didn't work either.
In my textclass.lst all the classes are marked as false, so I guess LyX
doesn't recognize any Latex-class. (and I have a full TexLive installation which
was recognized during LyX installation)
I am also a bit confused by the missing point 1 about my LaTeX installation in
Help  LaTeX Configuration. There is no information about my LaTeX. The given
information starts with 1. Fonts. Strange, eh? 
It wouldn't bother me at all, but it makes me think LyX just never finds the
Latex distribution I happen to have.
And, finally, if I try to look at Tools  TeX-Information, I don't get any
response, even though the CPU seems quite busy. But it remains busy for over
half an hour without showing any information. (Then I aborted the process)

Does anyone know where the problem is? I am close to losing my head (the very
head I wanted to keep by using LyX instead of MS Word...)

BTW, my operating system: Windows XP, current LyX Version 1.6.4, TeXLive 2009.

Cheers, Sadjad

Unsubscribe info

The web site says:

4.4 I can't unsubscribe
In every message you get from the LyX mailing lists, there will be 
a line in the message header that looks like this: 
 List-Unsubscribe: 
 mailto:lyx-devel-unsubscribe-bar=blah@lists.lyx.org
This will remind you how to unsubscribe, so that you don't have to 
mail the mailing list asking how to do so. 
---
However with a normal header setting on kmail that header never 
appears.  So as I depart let me suggest that the text on the web 
site needs correction. That line appears only if you set the folder 
to full headers. I only do that on rare occasions for debugging 
purposes.

Other listserves put the unsubscribe info in the trailer.  That 
makes more sense.

Seems that you LyX/LaTeX installation is broken. I recommend to do

1. uninstall TeXLive _completely_
2. uninstall MiKTeX _completely_ (check the registry that there are no 
leftovers)
3. check the path to the former TeXLive and MiKTeX installations is no longer in the Windows 
environment variable PATH
4. uninstall LyX _completely (check afterwards that there is no folder named lyx16 somewhere in 
the folder C:\Documents and Settings)

5. open an Internet connection
6. reinstall LyX using the complete version of the alternative LyX for Windows 
installer:
   http://wiki.lyx.org/Windows/LyXWinInstaller

This installer will install MiKTeX and LyX at once and download needed LaTeX packages automatically 
from the Internet when LyX is first started.

Re: Shortcut for 'update pdf'

[Christian Ridderström]

what is the keyboard shortcut for updating the pdf?


You need to define a shortcut for the function buffer-update pdf2 and/or 
buffer-view pdf2


Maybe we should have this by default? But I guess it's difficult to find 
an unused shortcut?
