Lyx 2.0.1 not working on Lion

2011-10-01 Thread Mark 
Hi,

After upgrading to Lion I checked that my Lyx installation worked - 
no problem. Now when I try to run it,
 it fails with the PowerPC applications not supported error from 
Lion. I'm not sure what changed - don't
 remember checking Lyx 2.0.1 was ok when I downloaded it or 
maybe it was a Mac OS upgrade.

I did searching on the web and here to see if anyone else had this 
problem and found:

It sounds to me like they are not using the unpack-and-run 
version. This problem has been around for a
couple of years for OS X users who have not installed the Rosetta 
emulator that runs PPC code. Now that
PPC emulation is no longer included in Lion, users who have 
upgraded will only be able to use unpack-
and-run version, unless the development team upgrades the 
software they have been using to bundle up
the application for installation on a Mac.

in a forum regarding Elan on Mac OS Lion:

perhaps this is relevant.

Can anyone help me get Lyx working again?

I don't know exactly what unpack-and-run-version of ELAN refers to
but I don't think LyX has anything comparable. It's just an application
ready to run on both intel and powerpc processors. I cannot tell how this
can fail on Lion. Especially since it did work on Lion already as you said.
I'm not sure what you did to check your LyX installation.

Do you have the LyX-2.0.0 disk image to check if it runs?

The Finder is right - it's a Universal application (Intel i386 and PowerPC)

I'd guess that's Intel x86-64bit.

I didn't hear until now that Lion is unable to execute 32-bit applications...

the error message is:
You can't open the application lyx because PowerPC applications are

And I checked through some other applications and I do have Universal

2011-10-01 Thread James Sutherland 
FWIW, I have been running LyX 2.0.1 on Lion for a month or more now without
problems.

Perhaps it is something else in your software stack causing the problem
(e.g. your LaTeX installation)?

I am using MacPorts for my LaTeX distribution, so I cannot comment on MacTex
compatibility, but this indicates that it should work:
  http://roaringapps.com/app:1049

Is it crashing on LyX launch or when you compile a document?

 Stephen,
 
 the error message is:

The lyx application one can download from the LyX home page is not a PowerPC 
application.
Did you get it from there?

 
 And I checked through some other applications and I do have Universal
 applications that run successfully so that's not it.

A Universal application may contain 32bit and 64bit Intel binaries only. 
Nevertheless it's called Universal because of the multiple architectures.

Now I've tried LyX-2.0.1 to start on Mac OS X 10.6.8 (Snow Leopard) running a 
64 bit kernel.
I have no problem to use it. It is running in 32bit Intel mode. I don't have 
Lion to check it.

What's the output of the following command?

% file /Applications/LyX.app/Contents/MacOS/lyx

I get this:

% file /Applications/LyX.app/Contents/MacOS/lyx

Re: Biblatex and Lyx: Verbose Style

Julio Rojas jcredberry@... writes:

 
 Dear all. I'm trying to use biblatex with lyx, using the verbose
 style. I followed carefully the instructions in the wiki. Lyx compiles
 the document, but instead of showing full citations for the first time
 a reference is used, I only get the key for the reference in the PDF. [...]

Hello,

I have a very similar problem at the moment, but I'm afraid the solution
specified in this thread doesn't work for me. My setup is:

1. I'm using Windows XP Service Pack 3, MikTeX 2.8 and Lyx 2.0.

2. As a backend to biblatex I use biber.

I have tried to use a simple .bib file with one entry located at C:\Test\. I
have followed the instructions for using biblatex in the LyX wiki
(http://wiki.lyx.org/BibTeX/Biblatex#toc2). When I try to compile a file, the
resulting PDF shows no bibliography and the cites are not formatted according by
the options set in the preamble, but are simply the key printed in bold. I have
tried out several things to make it work, but they all failed. Among them are:

1. Switching between \bibliography and \addbibresource.
2. Using / slashes and using \ slashes. When using / slashes, the PDF
output only shows the keys as explained above, when using \ slashes LaTeX
seems to interpret them as commands and shows an error message. Putting the path
in quotes or in \string doesn't change that.
3. Following the reccomendation in the wiki I tried to setup a texmf order in
C:\texmf to put my .bib-file, but MikTeX won't accept it as a rootfile, showing
an error message:

I am fairly new to LaTeX and LyX, having begun to read about it a few months ago
and trying to use it since about a week for a test chapter for my diploma
thesis. Like any beginner I am encountering a load of problems, so I hope you
will be lenient towards me if I did make some very silly mistake or if I have
difficulties understanding something.

Thank you very much!

Kind regards

Haven't Apple removed Rosetta Stone from OS X with the release of
Lion. All applications are now supposed to be Intel-native. The LyX

Yes, and that's intentional. Do you have any pointer where Apple announces
it will deny the start of an Intel based application when bundled with a 
ppc based when Rosetta is dropped?
I'd rate this as a ridiculous decision or a bug. Furthermore, it works on
other Lion systems.

The web search lead me to this page:

But I don't know how it is related.

XeTeX - Load packages before fontspec

2011-10-01 Thread Spyros Stathopoulos 
Hello everyone! I've been using TeX for quite a long time now but I'm new to
LyX. I've managed to create some fairly long documents with it and XeTeX and
I'm quite happy, however there is one little thing that troubles me. A lot of
regular LaTeX packages that affect fonts need to be loaded before fontspec in
order to work properly. One such package, for example, is mathdesign. In order
to apply a mathdesign font to the math text using XeTeX/fontspec, mathdesign
must be loaded before fontspec, like this

\usepackage[mdugm]{mathdesign}
\usepackage{fontspec}
...

However, LyX automatically inserts fontspec at the very top of the preamble
(actually, after amsmath but you get the point). Therefore if I put
\usepackage[...]{mathdesign} in the preamble settings it always comes after
fontspec and renders the fontspec font definitions useless. Of course the same
happends if I \usepackage{fontspec} again in the preamble (since it's already
loaded).

Is there any (hackish?) way to tell LyX to load mathdesign (or any other
package) before fontspec? I'm using LyX 2.0.1 + TeXLive 2010 on ArchLinux.

Best regards!
Spyros

Good find, a step forward! I moved Lyx to the Desktop and it works fine.
I deleted all the ~/Library... preferences and application support. It still
worked. I moved it back to Applications folder and it fails again (same
error). So now Lyx is on my Desktop and working.

I checked all the folders in Applications and couldn't find any that Lion
has marked with its grey cross to indicate a PowerPC application.

I suspect that the discussion Stephan pointed to contains the explanation
there may be a file within the folder that is associated with PPC
but don't know where to look next.

The Finder is right - it's a Universal application (Intel i386 and PowerPC)

 For comparison, Mail.app is

I'd guess that's Intel x86-64bit.

I didn't hear until now that Lion is unable to execute 32-bit applications...

A Universal application may contain 32bit and 64bit Intel binaries only. 
Nevertheless it's called Universal because of the multiple architectures.

Now I've tried LyX-2.0.1 to start on Mac OS X 10.6.8 (Snow Leopard) running a

I have no problem to use it. It is running in 32bit Intel mode. I don't have

What's the output of the following command?

 Dear all. I'm trying to use biblatex with lyx, using the verbose

 a reference is used, I only get the key for the reference in the PDF. [...]

Hello,

I have a very similar problem at the moment, but I'm afraid the solution
specified in this thread doesn't work for me. My setup is:

1. I'm using Windows XP Service Pack 3, MikTeX 2.8 and Lyx 2.0.

2. As a backend to biblatex I use biber.

I have tried to use a simple .bib file with one entry located at C:\Test\. I
have followed the instructions for using biblatex in the LyX wiki
(http://wiki.lyx.org/BibTeX/Biblatex#toc2). When I try to compile a file, the
resulting PDF shows no bibliography and the cites are not formatted according by
the options set in the preamble, but are simply the key printed in bold. I have
tried out several things to make it work, but they all failed. Among them are:

1. Switching between \bibliography and \addbibresource.
2. Using / slashes and using \ slashes. When using / slashes, the PDF
output only shows the keys as explained above, when using \ slashes LaTeX
seems to interpret them as commands and shows an error message. Putting the path
in quotes or in \string doesn't change that.
3. Following the reccomendation in the wiki I tried to setup a texmf order in
C:\texmf to put my .bib-file, but MikTeX won't accept it as a rootfile, showing
an error message:

Yes, and that's intentional. Do you have any pointer where Apple announces
it will deny the start of an Intel based application when bundled with a 
ppc based when Rosetta is dropped?
I'd rate this as a ridiculous decision or a bug. Furthermore, it works on
other Lion systems.

XeTeX - Load packages before fontspec

2011-10-01 Thread Spyros Stathopoulos 
Hello everyone! I've been using TeX for quite a long time now but I'm new to
LyX. I've managed to create some fairly long documents with it and XeTeX and
I'm quite happy, however there is one little thing that troubles me. A lot of
regular LaTeX packages that affect fonts need to be loaded before fontspec in
order to work properly. One such package, for example, is mathdesign. In order
to apply a mathdesign font to the math text using XeTeX/fontspec, mathdesign
must be loaded before fontspec, like this

\usepackage[mdugm]{mathdesign}
\usepackage{fontspec}
...

However, LyX automatically inserts fontspec at the very top of the preamble
(actually, after amsmath but you get the point). Therefore if I put
\usepackage[...]{mathdesign} in the preamble settings it always comes after
fontspec and renders the fontspec font definitions useless. Of course the same
happends if I \usepackage{fontspec} again in the preamble (since it's already
loaded).

Is there any (hackish?) way to tell LyX to load mathdesign (or any other
package) before fontspec? I'm using LyX 2.0.1 + TeXLive 2010 on ArchLinux.

Best regards!
Spyros

Good find, a step forward! I moved Lyx to the Desktop and it works fine.
I deleted all the ~/Library... preferences and application support. It still
worked. I moved it back to Applications folder and it fails again (same
error). So now Lyx is on my Desktop and working.

I checked all the folders in Applications and couldn't find any that Lion
has marked with its grey cross to indicate a PowerPC application.

I suspect that the discussion Stephan pointed to contains the explanation
there may be a file within the folder that is associated with PPC
but don't know where to look next.

I don't know exactly what "unpack-and-run"-version of ELAN refers to
but I don't think LyX has anything comparable. It's just an application

A Universal application may contain 32bit and 64bit Intel binaries only. 
Nevertheless it's called Universal because of the multiple architectures.

Now I've tried LyX-2.0.1 to start on Mac OS X 10.6.8 (Snow Leopard) running a 
64 bit kernel.
I have no problem to use it. It is running in 32bit Intel mode. I don't have 
Lion to check it.

What's the output of the following command?

% file /Applications/LyX.app/Contents/MacOS/lyx

I get this:

Hello,

I have a very similar problem at the moment, but I'm afraid the solution
specified in this thread doesn't work for me. My setup is:

1. I'm using Windows XP Service Pack 3, MikTeX 2.8 and Lyx 2.0.

2. As a backend to biblatex I use biber.

I have tried to use a simple .bib file with one entry located at C:\Test\. I
have followed the instructions for using biblatex in the LyX wiki
(http://wiki.lyx.org/BibTeX/Biblatex#toc2). When I try to compile a file, the
resulting PDF shows no bibliography and the cites are not formatted according by
the options set in the preamble, but are simply the key printed in bold. I have
tried out several things to make it work, but they all failed. Among them are:

1. Switching between \bibliography and \addbibresource.
2. Using "/" slashes and using "\" slashes. When using "/" slashes, the PDF
output only shows the keys as explained above, when using "\" slashes LaTeX
seems to interpret them as commands and shows an error message. Putting the path
in quotes or in \string" doesn't change that.
3. Following the reccomendation in the wiki I tried to setup a texmf order in
C:\texmf to put my .bib-file, but MikTeX won't accept it as a rootfile, showing
an error message: 
   "MiKTeX Problem Report
   Message: Not a TDS-compliant root directory.
   Data: C:\texmf

I am fairly new to LaTeX and LyX, having begun to read about it a few months ago
and trying to use it since about a week for a test chapter for my diploma
thesis. Like any beginner I am encountering a load of problems, so I hope you
will be lenient towards me if I did make some very silly mistake or if I have
difficulties understanding something.

Thank you very much!

Kind regards

Thomas

PS. Below is the example I'm using:

Haven't Apple removed Rosetta Stone from OS X with the release of
Lion. All applications are now supposed to be Intel-native. The LyX
installed on my Snow Leopard system produces this output from file

nowhere:~ trevor$ file /Applications/LyX.app/Contents/MacOS/lyx
/Applications/LyX.app/Contents/MacOS/lyx: Mach-O universal binary with
2 architectures
/Applications/LyX.app/Contents/MacOS/lyx (for architecture
ppc7400):   Mach-O executable ppc
/Applications/LyX.app/Contents/MacOS/lyx (for architecture
i386):  Mach-O executable i386

so there's still PPC code bound into the image.

Yes, and that's intentional. Do you have any pointer where Apple announces
it will deny the start of an Intel based application when bundled with a 
ppc based when Rosetta is dropped?
I'd rate this as a ridiculous decision or a bug. Furthermore, it works on
other Lion systems.

The web search lead me to this page:

https://discussions.apple.com/thread/3215877?start=0=0

But I don't know how it is related.

I know nothing about Mac, so an obvious question emerges in my mind: 
What IN THE WORLD makes the computer think LyX is a PowerPC app? I 
know nothing about Mac but I bet if you find the answer to that 
question you'll be a lot closer to a solution.

XeTeX - Load packages before fontspec

2011-10-01 Thread Spyros Stathopoulos 
Hello everyone! I've been using TeX for quite a long time now but I'm new to
LyX. I've managed to create some fairly long documents with it and XeTeX and
I'm quite happy, however there is one little thing that troubles me. A lot of
regular LaTeX packages that affect fonts need to be loaded before fontspec in
order to work properly. One such package, for example, is mathdesign. In order
to apply a mathdesign font to the math text using XeTeX/fontspec, mathdesign
must be loaded before fontspec, like this

\usepackage[mdugm]{mathdesign}
\usepackage{fontspec}
...

However, LyX automatically inserts fontspec at the very top of the preamble
(actually, after amsmath but you get the point). Therefore if I put
\usepackage[...]{mathdesign} in the preamble settings it always comes after
fontspec and renders the fontspec font definitions useless. Of course the same
happends if I \usepackage{fontspec} again in the preamble (since it's already
loaded).

Is there any (hackish?) way to tell LyX to load mathdesign (or any other
package) before fontspec? I'm using LyX 2.0.1 + TeXLive 2010 on ArchLinux.

Best regards!
Spyros

I don't know if this option still exists in Lion, but try

select LyX.app icon in Finder
File -> Get Info
make sure "Open using Rosetta" is unchecked

Good find, a step forward! I moved Lyx to the Desktop and it works fine.
I deleted all the ~/Library... preferences and application support. It still
worked. I moved it back to Applications folder and it fails again (same
error). So now Lyx is on my Desktop and working.

I checked all the folders in Applications and couldn't find any that Lion
has marked with its grey cross to indicate a PowerPC application.

I suspect that the discussion Stephan pointed to contains the explanation
"there may be a file within the folder that is associated with PPC"
but don't know where to look next.

Lyx 2.01 for win ???

2011-10-01 Thread Sergio Celani 
Hello

Thank very much developers, for some time I use this great programa.
But, there exists is some problem for which there is no a windows intaller
for LyX 2.01 ?
There exists intentions to stop the support for win users ?

Thank, again
