memoir class/ book/ first page blank

[Leo Gürtler]

Dear lyx-list,

using memoir class (book) _before_ the title page a blank page is inserted.

How can I get rid of this blank page before the title page so that the
document (book) starts directly with the title page?

thanks,

Re: LyX Server on XP?

[Ken]

There have been some edits to the wiki at the bottom of the page which
are very good.  But perhaps some of the rest of the page needs a bit
of reworking.

Some general comments:
(1) Using LyXServer On Windows is at the bottom of the page whereas
using it in UNIX or OS/2 is at the top.
(2) In between are some technical details on writing code to work with
the LyXServer.
(3) A newbie to the LyXServer may only be interested in (a) what does
it do, (b) how do I set it up, and (c) how do I push referencs from
JabRef to LyX.  So perhaps the UNIX, OS/2 and Windows instructions
should probably be grouped close to each other at the top, with usage
guidelines below, and technical details to follow at the end or in a
separate page.

Those are just some of my thoughts but I don't think I know enough of
the details to do the editing myself.

Best,
Ken

Change order of bibliography entries

[Matthias Bußjäger]

Hi,

I use Lyx 1.6.3 with JabRef 2.4.2 to create the bibliography entries. 
Perhaps this question is not really Lyx specific, but I hope that others 
of you already solved a problem like this.

I want to reference a standard with 10 parts.
To get my preferred notation, I use the field author to set the name 
of the standard with the part, for example:

STANDARD - 1
STANDARD - 2
.
STANDARD - 10

The problem is that the order in the output pdf is wrong. It's sorted like:
STANDARD - 1
STANDARD - 10
STANDARD - 2
.

Is it somehow possible, to change this wrong order like in the example 
above? (Without changing my preferred notation) Perhaps I only ignored 
some settings?


Thanks for hints!
Matthias

default ps view for beamer class

[Satyendra Tomar]

Hi,

I mostly use LyX on my laptop, with openSuSE 11.1, and LyX  1.6.4.1. When
using beamer class, the default ps view (viewer set as gv) has a right
orientation, as it should be of slides. However, under similar configuration
for the same document on my desktop, the orientation is that of an article.
Could some suggest me how to change this. I'm not even sure whether this is
concerned with LyX or gv.

Thanks in advance,

svninfo packages and similar in LyX

[Rainer M Krug]

Hi

I am using version control (svn) for my LyX files, and I would like to put
the revision and other info into the document by using prelim2e.

My problem is (at least I think so) that packages like svninfo are using the
name of the .tex file to obtain the versioning info. This obviously does not
work, as the .lyx file is versioned.


When I put the following into the preamble:


\usepackage{svninfo}

\usepackage{prelim2e}

\renewcommand{\PrelimWords}{%

Draft -- \textsf{RandomClearing.lyx} -- svn ID: \svnId

}


I get:

Draft – RandomClearing.lyx – svn ID: –sourcefile– –revision– –time– –owner–
– 11th December 2009

at the bottom of my document.

Is there another package which would be able to give me the svn info from
the .lyx file to include it into the final compiled document (pdf)?

Thanks,

Rainer

Re: eLyXer status update

[Luke Venediger]

On Wed, Dec 9, 2009 at 12:25 AM, Alex Fernandez alejandro...@gmail.comwrote:

 Hi folks,

 eLyXer is a LyX-to-HTML direct converter that can be used from within
 LyX. It came out of my own needs to publish both to PDF and HTML
 formats; LyX looked like a great fit for PDF but HTML export was
 rather poor. Thanks to the support of many LyX developers I published
 it for others to use; and unlike other similar tools it is actively
 maintained and getting better all the time.

 You have probably not heard from eLyXer for a long time (or at all)
 unless you are subscribed to the lyx-devel list. Well, in this
 interval it has improved a lot, as you can see in the change log for
 0.38 (just released):
  http://www.nongnu.org/elyxer/changelog.html
 It translates correctly most documents, even those with symbols and
 equations, and produces acceptable output for most uses. The official
 LyX documentation (User Guide, Math Guide and Embedded Objects Guide)
 can be converted with minimal loss of format and content. The future
 roadmap has a lot of interesting milestones like splitting the output
 by chapters or sections, or full conversion of the LyX documentation.

 If you want to try it out and you are on Debian testing you have it
 easy: eLyXer is just an
  # apt-get install elyxer
 away. On Windows you can try the alternate installer, which has just
 been published recently for 1.6.5:
  http://wiki.lyx.org/Windows/LyXWinInstaller
 It includes the latest version of eLyXer. On a different platform, or
 just to try out a particular version, just download it from the
 project download area:
  https://savannah.nongnu.org/files/?group=elyxer
 and follow the instructions on the user guide:
  http://www.nongnu.org/elyxer/userguide.html#toc-Subsection-1.2

 If you have a document which comes out all wrong please send it my
 way, either confidentially or lorem-ipsumized; I will do my best to
 make it work. Also send bug reports, feature requests and whatever
 crosses your mind. Thanks to you eLyXer is improving outside my
 (rather narrow) needs.

 Thanks,

 Alex Fernández.

in manuals there are another few hints about how to put svn info into lyx

you can try to post if you will find solution through svninfo package, maybe we
can reuse it somehow for lyx itself.

I don't know of any other package but if you don't mind the extra '$' 
characters, you can just use the svn keywords in plain text _within_ 
LyX. For example, '$Revision: $' will be filled out with the revision 
number:

  $Revision: 695 $

'$Id: $' will give you something like:
  $Id: BlackboxProtocol.lyx 695 2009-10-20 07:49:38Z younes $

This works because the lyx file format is text and also because I added 
some properties to my lyx file:


$ svn propget svn:keywords BlackboxProtocol.lyx
URL Author Date Rev Id

So you'll need to do the same:

$ svn propset svn:keyword URL Author Date Rev BlackboxProtocol.lyx
property 'svn:keyword' set on 'BlackboxProtocol.lyx'

If you find this info useful maybe you someone can add somewhere in the

Re: launching LyX 1.6.5

It still did /*not */work.  The response from running:

By the way, I agree that changing the paper size to letter rather than 
A4 and allowing needed packages to be installed without asking is not 
the cause for this failure, since I did it that way on the one machine 
where the alinstaller did work for 1.6.5 (A Windows 2000 system).  The

The one thing I did differently from the default installation options is
that I chose letter size paper, rather than A4, and changed the

Why this? The installer clearly state not to change anything. The 
installer automatically configures MiKTeX and the change to letter 
size can be done anytime later.


However, this cannot be the bug (I think). Try this:

- delete the folder named C:\Documents and 
Settings\username\Application Data\lyx16

- do this for all users on your system
- finally restart LyX (this should recreate the just deleted folder)

When it still doesn't work, what do you get when you open a console

I was worried about that, and in despair logged  on as administrator and

then silence-- Lyx never appears.

What I want to do is to change the order of the list of literature at

Is it possible to have effect on this order in another way, than to 
change this name? (I don't really like the 01, 02  to get the right

The only other order I know that is easily accessible is order of 
appearance in the document. See the natbib documentation for how to do this.


If you want some kind of custom order, then you can get it, but you 
would have to modify the BibTeX style (*.bst file) that you are using. 
This is possible but not for the meek, as the BibTeX language is really 
nasty.

Re: Subfloats alignment

Thanks for your help. The second example (with a table cell) does work.
I'm not sure it does exactly what I wanted, as it also moves up the caption. My

but the (sub)captions aligned. However, it's all about the visual
impression, and this looks better than before.

Lyx + gnuplot epslatex

[Jonathan Brandmeyer]

I am having difficulty using Gnuplot's epslatex output in conjunction
with Lyx. Gnuplot itself is capable of separately providing EPS graphics
as well as text and labels as Tex code. Strictly speaking, I'm using
Octave as a front-end to Gnuplot, but that shouldn't matter.

So, I have the .tex and the .eps files produced by gnuplot, and a .lyx
file that attempts to use the file as input.

Various tutorials, like
http://psung.blogspot.com/2007/03/gnuplot-plots-in-latex.html suggest
that this should work. However, I only get the labels and axes in the
generated output, and none of the graphics. This happens regardless of
the type of output generated by Lyx (PDF, DVI, or PS). If I manually
\includegraphics the EPS, then it gets placed underneath the proper text
as though it was a second figure or something.

If I manually run latex on the plain LaTeX exported by Lyx, then the
results are even stranger. The console output reports errors about an
overfull \hbox. The graphics are displayed, as is the text for the
legend, but the axes are not displayed.

This is intensely frustrating.  How is \input supposed to work?  Its not
like I'm using ERT or anything like that.  A minimal example that
demonstrates the problem is attached.

Thanks,

Re: Change order of bibliography entries

[Anders Host-Madsen]

A suggestion:
You could use the unsrt bibliography style. That will put
the references in order of appearance. You can then
use the \nocite command in the beginning of the
document to get the order you want.

I haven't tried this, but it should work -- but
you have to manually sort the references,
which is a hassle if you have many. 

Broken Cross-References after copy/paste

[Rob]

Hi,

I copied and pasted an article into a new file, complete with all the
cross-references.  The cross-reference names did not change, but all the
references in the text are broken when I output to pdf.  What happened?  Is
there some sort of run that I have to do to get the correct references to show
up in the pdf output? Everything is identical between the original doc where the
references work and the new document.  Thanks.

lyx 1.6.5 + computer algebra (windows)

[Philip A. Viton]

I understand that now that lyx has implemented the server in the 
MS-Win edition, it should be possible to use the computer algebra 
feature. Can someone post (or point me to) details on how to set this 
up, say for Maple? I'm not sure how Lyx knows if you have a ca 
system, since it doesn't seem to enter itself into the path (also, a 
couple of lines in configure.py referring to maple seem to be commented out).

Thank you for the extensive list of programs for testing purposes.  For

When I ran dvips on the LyX-generated DVI I received the following
useful error:

quote
dvips: Unknown keyword (project/latex//radial_impulse_latex.eps...) in
\special will be ignored
dvips: Could not find figure file /home/jonathan/courses/mae521/final;
continuing.
Note that an absolute path or a relative path with .. are denied in -R2
mode.
] 
/quote

/me jumps up and down screaming.  Yes, this means that something in my
LaTeX stack doesn't work well with whitespace in directory names (one of
the parents of the working directory is final project).  After
renaming that folder with an underscore in the space's place, we have
the following status:
- Postscript output from LyX works fine and looks good.
- PDF output from LyX works fine.  The vertical text has an oddly broken
appearance, but that could be a rendering bug.
- In the DVI output, the y-axis label is not rotated 90 deg, it is
horizontal when viewed with xdvi.  However, after conversion to .ps the
file looks good. 

Since the latex produced by lyx only uses relative path names, I don't
think that the error is in Lyx - it is in some program distributed with
texlive.

Thanks for the help.

Buggy table cell options with graphics

[obregonmateo]

Hi all-

Both lyx v.1.6.4 and v.1.6.5 have the same problem: the table cell options 
don't work correctly with graphics contents.

I put together a beamer presentation with several graphics per slide, so I used 
the old HTML trick of ordering the images within a table. However, I found the 
following problems:

1. The vertical placement option is broken: Only the middle place works. Both 
topand bottomjust place the image at the bottom of the cell.

2. The top and bottom vertical placement buttons that appear as part of the 
Table toolbar are switched with respect to the Table Settings Edit menu 
option.

3. In the Graphic Settings options box, the Set height Output size option 
does not maintain the aspect ratio. So, getting  a tall image to display 
properly means fudging around with setting a horizontal width instead of 
specifying eg.  just 80% of text height.

Have these bugs been reported before?

Mateo.

using it in UNIX or OS/2 is at the top.
(2) In between are some technical details on writing code to work with
the LyXServer.
(3) A newbie to the LyXServer may only be interested in (a) what does
it do, (b) how do I set it up, and (c) how do I push referencs from
JabRef to LyX.  So perhaps the UNIX, OS/2 and Windows instructions
should probably be grouped close to each other at the top, with usage
guidelines below, and technical details to follow at the end or in a

Those are just some of my thoughts but I don't think I know enough of

Change order of bibliography entries

[Matthias Bußjäger]

Hi,

I use Lyx 1.6.3 with JabRef 2.4.2 to create the bibliography entries. 
Perhaps this question is not really Lyx specific, but I hope that others 
of you already solved a problem like this.

I want to reference a standard with 10 parts.
To get my preferred notation, I use the field author to set the name 
of the standard with the part, for example:

STANDARD - 1
STANDARD - 2
.
STANDARD - 10

The problem is that the order in the output pdf is wrong. It's sorted like:
STANDARD - 1
STANDARD - 10
STANDARD - 2
.

Is it somehow possible, to change this wrong order like in the example 
above? (Without changing my preferred notation) Perhaps I only ignored 
some settings?


Thanks for hints!

default ps view for beamer class

[Satyendra Tomar]

Hi,

I mostly use LyX on my laptop, with openSuSE 11.1, and LyX  1.6.4.1. When
using beamer class, the default ps view (viewer set as gv) has a right
orientation, as it should be of slides. However, under similar configuration
for the same document on my desktop, the orientation is that of an article.
Could some suggest me how to change this. I'm not even sure whether this is
concerned with LyX or gv.

Thanks in advance,

svninfo packages and similar in LyX

[Rainer M Krug]

Hi

I am using version control (svn) for my LyX files, and I would like to put
the revision and other info into the document by using prelim2e.

My problem is (at least I think so) that packages like svninfo are using the
name of the .tex file to obtain the versioning info. This obviously does not
work, as the .lyx file is versioned.


When I put the following into the preamble:


\usepackage{svninfo}

\usepackage{prelim2e}

\renewcommand{\PrelimWords}{%

Draft -- \textsf{RandomClearing.lyx} -- svn ID: \svnId

}


I get:

Draft – RandomClearing.lyx – svn ID: –sourcefile– –revision– –time– –owner–
– 11th December 2009

at the bottom of my document.

Is there another package which would be able to give me the svn info from
the .lyx file to include it into the final compiled document (pdf)?

Thanks,

Rainer

Re: eLyXer status update

On Wed, Dec 9, 2009 at 12:25 AM, Alex Fernandez alejandro...@gmail.comwrote:

 Hi folks,

 eLyXer is a LyX-to-HTML direct converter that can be used from within
 LyX. It came out of my own needs to publish both to PDF and HTML
 formats; LyX looked like a great fit for PDF but HTML export was
 rather poor. Thanks to the support of many LyX developers I published
 it for others to use; and unlike other similar tools it is actively
 maintained and getting better all the time.

 You have probably not heard from eLyXer for a long time (or at all)
 unless you are subscribed to the lyx-devel list. Well, in this
 interval it has improved a lot, as you can see in the change log for
 0.38 (just released):
  http://www.nongnu.org/elyxer/changelog.html
 It translates correctly most documents, even those with symbols and
 equations, and produces acceptable output for most uses. The official
 LyX documentation (User Guide, Math Guide and Embedded Objects Guide)
 can be converted with minimal loss of format and content. The future
 roadmap has a lot of interesting milestones like splitting the output
 by chapters or sections, or full conversion of the LyX documentation.

 If you want to try it out and you are on Debian testing you have it
 easy: eLyXer is just an
  # apt-get install elyxer
 away. On Windows you can try the alternate installer, which has just
 been published recently for 1.6.5:
  http://wiki.lyx.org/Windows/LyXWinInstaller
 It includes the latest version of eLyXer. On a different platform, or
 just to try out a particular version, just download it from the
 project download area:
  https://savannah.nongnu.org/files/?group=elyxer
 and follow the instructions on the user guide:
  http://www.nongnu.org/elyxer/userguide.html#toc-Subsection-1.2

 If you have a document which comes out all wrong please send it my
 way, either confidentially or lorem-ipsumized; I will do my best to
 make it work. Also send bug reports, feature requests and whatever
 crosses your mind. Thanks to you eLyXer is improving outside my
 (rather narrow) needs.

 Thanks,

 Alex Fernández.

I don't know of any other package but if you don't mind the extra '$' 
characters, you can just use the svn keywords in plain text _within_ 
LyX. For example, '$Revision: $' will be filled out with the revision 
number:

  $Revision: 695 $

'$Id: $' will give you something like:
  $Id: BlackboxProtocol.lyx 695 2009-10-20 07:49:38Z younes $

This works because the lyx file format is text and also because I added 
some properties to my lyx file:


$ svn propget svn:keywords BlackboxProtocol.lyx
URL Author Date Rev Id

So you'll need to do the same:

$ svn propset svn:keyword URL Author Date Rev BlackboxProtocol.lyx
property 'svn:keyword' set on 'BlackboxProtocol.lyx'

If you find this info useful maybe you someone can add somewhere in the

Why this? The installer clearly state not to change anything. The

However, this cannot be the bug (I think). Try this:

Re: launching LyX 1.6.5

[EK]

I was worried about that, and in despair logged  on as administrator and 
tried again, but got the same behavior--
clicking on the Lyx icon I see a brief DOS (cmd) window which 
disappears, then another DOS window appears briefly, disappears, and 
then silence-- Lyx never appears.

By the way, I agree that changing the paper size to letter rather than A4
and allowing needed packages to be installed without asking is not the cause
for this failure, since I did it that way on the one machine where the
alinstaller did work for 1.6.5 (A Windows 2000 system).  The failures were
on two XP sp3 machines.

What I want to do is to change the order of the list of literature at 
the end of my document. It seems that bibtex or lyx/latex decides this 
order based on the name of the author.
Is it possible to have effect on this order in another way, than to 
change this name? (I don't really like the 01, 02  to get the right 
order ;) )


Thanks anyway!

The only other order I know that is easily accessible is order of 
appearance in the document. See the natbib documentation for how to do this.


If you want some kind of custom order, then you can get it, but you 
would have to modify the BibTeX style (*.bst file) that you are using. 
This is possible but not for the meek, as the BibTeX language is really 
nasty.

Re: Subfloats alignment

[Anders Host-Madsen]

Thanks for your help. The second example (with a table cell) does work.
I'm not sure it does exactly what I wanted, as it also moves up the caption. My
idea was probably more to have the images themselves centered,
but the (sub)captions aligned. However, it's all about the visual
impression, and this looks better than before. 
Again, thanks for your help.

Lyx + gnuplot epslatex

[Jonathan Brandmeyer]

I am having difficulty using Gnuplot's epslatex output in conjunction
with Lyx. Gnuplot itself is capable of separately providing EPS graphics
as well as text and labels as Tex code. Strictly speaking, I'm using
Octave as a front-end to Gnuplot, but that shouldn't matter.

So, I have the .tex and the .eps files produced by gnuplot, and a .lyx
file that attempts to use the file as input.

Various tutorials, like
http://psung.blogspot.com/2007/03/gnuplot-plots-in-latex.html suggest
that this should work. However, I only get the labels and axes in the
generated output, and none of the graphics. This happens regardless of
the type of output generated by Lyx (PDF, DVI, or PS). If I manually
\includegraphics the EPS, then it gets placed underneath the proper text
as though it was a second figure or something.

If I manually run latex on the plain LaTeX exported by Lyx, then the
results are even stranger. The console output reports errors about an
overfull \hbox. The graphics are displayed, as is the text for the
legend, but the axes are not displayed.

This is intensely frustrating.  How is \input supposed to work?  Its not
like I'm using ERT or anything like that.  A minimal example that
demonstrates the problem is attached.

Thanks,

Re: Change order of bibliography entries

A suggestion:
You could use the unsrt bibliography style. That will put
the references in order of appearance. You can then
use the \nocite command in the beginning of the
document to get the order you want.

I haven't tried this, but it should work -- but
you have to manually sort the references,
which is a hassle if you have many. 

Broken Cross-References after copy/paste

Hi,

I copied and pasted an article into a new file, complete with all the
cross-references.  The cross-reference names did not change, but all the
references in the text are broken when I output to pdf.  What happened?  Is
there some sort of run that I have to do to get the correct references to show
up in the pdf output? Everything is identical between the original doc where the
references work and the new document.  Thanks.

lyx 1.6.5 + computer algebra (windows)

Thank you for the extensive list of programs for testing purposes.  For

When I ran dvips on the LyX-generated DVI I received the following

Note that an absolute path or a relative path with .. are denied in -R2

/quote

/me jumps up and down screaming.  Yes, this means that something in my
LaTeX stack doesn't work well with whitespace in directory names (one of
the parents of the working directory is final project).  After
renaming that folder with an underscore in the space's place, we have
the following status:
- Postscript output from LyX works fine and looks good.
- PDF output from LyX works fine.  The vertical text has an oddly broken
appearance, but that could be a rendering bug.
- In the DVI output, the y-axis label is not rotated 90 deg, it is
horizontal when viewed with xdvi.  However, after conversion to .ps the
file looks good. 

Since the latex produced by lyx only uses relative path names, I don't
think that the error is in Lyx - it is in some program distributed with
texlive.

Thanks for the help.

Buggy table cell options with graphics

[obregonmateo]

Hi all-

Both lyx v.1.6.4 and v.1.6.5 have the same problem: the table cell options 
don't work correctly with graphics contents.

I put together a beamer presentation with several graphics per slide, so I used 
the old HTML trick of ordering the images within a table. However, I found the 
following problems:

1. The vertical placement option is broken: Only the middle place works. Both 
topand bottomjust place the image at the bottom of the cell.

2. The top and bottom vertical placement buttons that appear as part of the 
Table toolbar are switched with respect to the Table Settings Edit menu 
option.

3. In the Graphic Settings options box, the Set height Output size option 
does not maintain the aspect ratio. So, getting  a tall image to display 
properly means fudging around with setting a horizontal width instead of 
specifying eg.  just 80% of text height.

Have these bugs been reported before?

Mateo.

Some general comments:
(1) Using LyXServer "On Windows" is at the bottom of the page whereas

(2) In between are some technical details on writing code to work with

(3) A newbie to the LyXServer may only be interested in (a) what does
it do, (b) how do I set it up, and (c) how do I push referencs from
JabRef to LyX.  So perhaps the UNIX, OS/2 and Windows instructions
should probably be grouped close to each other at the top, with usage
guidelines below, and technical details to follow at the end or in a
separate page.

Those are just some of my thoughts but I don't think I know enough of

Change order of bibliography entries

[Matthias Bußjäger]

Hi,

I use Lyx 1.6.3 with JabRef 2.4.2 to create the bibliography entries. 
Perhaps this question is not really Lyx specific, but I hope that others 
of you already solved a problem like this.

I want to reference a standard with 10 parts.
To get my preferred notation, I use the field "author" to set the name 
of the standard with the part, for example:

STANDARD - 1
STANDARD - 2
.
STANDARD - 10

The problem is that the order in the output pdf is wrong. It's sorted like:
STANDARD - 1
STANDARD - 10
STANDARD - 2
.

Is it somehow possible, to change this wrong order like in the example 
above? (Without changing my preferred notation) Perhaps I only ignored 
some settings?


Thanks for hints!
Matthias

using beamer class, the default ps view (viewer set as gv) has a right
orientation, as it should be of slides. However, under similar configuration
for the same document on my desktop, the orientation is that of an article.
Could some suggest me how to change this. I'm not even sure whether this is
concerned with LyX or gv.

Thanks in advance,
S.K. Tomar

svninfo packages and similar in LyX

[Rainer M Krug]

Hi

I am using version control (svn) for my LyX files, and I would like to put
the revision and other info into the document by using prelim2e.

My problem is (at least I think so) that packages like svninfo are using the
name of the .tex file to obtain the versioning info. This obviously does not
work, as the .lyx file is versioned.


When I put the following into the preamble:


\usepackage{svninfo}

\usepackage{prelim2e}

\renewcommand{\PrelimWords}{%

Draft -- \textsf{RandomClearing.lyx} -- svn ID: \svnId

}


I get:

Draft – RandomClearing.lyx – svn ID: –sourcefile– –revision– –time– –owner–
– 11th December 2009

at the bottom of my document.

Is there another package which would be able to give me the svn info from
the .lyx file to include it into the final compiled document (pdf)?

Thanks,

Rainer

Hey Alex,

Thanks for a fantastic tool! I use it to generate my book's output (see
here: http://www.erlangforskeptics.com/book/).

in manuals there are another few hints about how to put svn info into lyx
documents. the in-built support is problematic mainly due to svn shortcomings.

you can try to post if you will find solution through svninfo package, maybe we
can reuse it somehow for lyx itself.

It works with the www prefix, but it is the skeptics that should read

I don't know of any other package but if you don't mind the extra '$' 
characters, you can just use the svn keywords in plain text _within_ 
LyX. For example, '$Revision: $' will be filled out with the revision 
number:

  $Revision: 695 $

'$Id: $' will give you something like:
  $Id: BlackboxProtocol.lyx 695 2009-10-20 07:49:38Z younes $

This works because the lyx file format is text and also because I added 
some properties to my lyx file:


$ svn propget svn:keywords BlackboxProtocol.lyx
URL Author Date Rev Id

So you'll need to do the same:

$ svn propset svn:keyword "URL Author Date Rev" BlackboxProtocol.lyx
property 'svn:keyword' set on 'BlackboxProtocol.lyx'

If you find this info useful maybe you someone can add somewhere in the 
Wiki?

As far as wordnet is concerned, both are accepted. :) It's probably

Re: launching LyX 1.6.5

[EK]

It still did /*not */work.  The response from running:
lyx -dbg 3 was: Lyx is not recognized as an internal or external 
command.. etc.


By the way, I agree that changing the paper size to letter rather than 
A4 and allowing needed packages to be installed without asking is not 
the cause for this failure, since I did it that way on the one machine 
where the alinstaller did work for 1.6.5 (A Windows 2000 system).  The 
failures were on two XP sp3 machines.

Now I have a serious problem:
Since I was unable to run Lyx (after altinstaller installation), I 
uninstalled Lyx and Miktex 2.8, and let the altinstaller install 
everything all over again, including Miktex.

I still cannot get Lyx to run, no matter how long I wait.
The one thing I did differently from the default installation options is
that I chose letter size paper, rather than A4, and changed the 
needed package downloading to YES (rather than Ask me first).


Why this? The installer clearly state not to change anything. The 
installer automatically configures MiKTeX and the change to letter 
size can be done anytime later.


However, this cannot be the bug (I think). Try this:

- delete the folder named "C:\Documents and 
Settings\\Application Data\lyx16"

- do this for all users on your system
- finally restart LyX (this should recreate the just deleted folder)

When it still doesn't work, what do you get when you open a console 
and start there LyX with the command


lyx -dbg 3
