No preview - Warning: xelatex had problems compiling lyxpreviews?????.tex

[Itai Shaked]

Hello,

I'm having a problem with math previews in lyx 2.1.2 - in certain documents
(possibly all documents set to be compiled with xelatex) there is no
preview for math.

When running from terminal I get the error in the subject:

Warning: xelatex had problems compiling lyxpreviews?.tex

repeating a few times for various files. Locating those files in
/tmp/lyx_tmpdir... I can see there is a valid PDF for each, and running
xelatex manually on them works without any error.
Note also that on the same machine lyx 2.1.0 does not have the same
problem, and the same documents have previews.

What could be the problem, and how do I solve it?

Thanks

Hmm. Try posting this to lyx-devel. I don't think a PDF is what we want 
in this case, but I am not that familiar with this part of the code.

Fwd: Help with Lyx

[Trisha Lawrence]

Hi Scott

I've currently uninstalled Lyx from my laptop. I've noticed on the
lyx-users platform a suggestion to do that as well as downloading the
following link below

http://wiki.lyx.org/Windows/LyXWinInstaller

Should this work? Would I still need to make any changes after
downloading Lyx from the link above,

like coping the layout packages from MiKTeX to LyX?

Also I can't seem to post any questions on Lyx-users platform. I'd
really appreciate your help Scott.

Kindest Regards,
Trisha Lawrence

Trisha,

The link above takes you to an installer for a very old version (2.0.5) 
of LyX. You shouldn't use it.


In your email to me this morning you told me that LyX (well, more 
exactly, the LaTeX engine that it was calling) wasn't even finding 
article.cls, which is the most basic class file, which suggests to me 
that your problem (or, at least, one very basic problem) doesn't have 
anything to do with the problem of finding missing layouts discussed in 
the link in your original message. I think your best bet, short of a 
complete reinstall of Windows, is to reinstall the latest versions of 
MikTeX and LyX. MikTeX is found here http://miktex.org/download. You 
can download the latest version (2.1.2) of LyX for Windows by clicking 
here ftp://ftp.lyx.org/pub/lyx/bin/2.1.2/LyX-2.1.2-Installer-1.exe.


You noted that you did some sort of migration from your old laptop to 
your new one, and those are notorious (on both Macs and Windows 
machines) for screwing things up. If you have the time and the patience, 
I suspect doing a fresh install of Windows on a clean drive, followed by 
fresh installs of MikTeX and LyX would solve your problems. If that 
isn't possible, once again, give the latest versions of MikTeX and LyX a 
shot.


 Also I can't seem to post any questions on Lyx-users platform.

You seem able to now. :-)

Custom layout file: in preamble styles with custom latex commands

[Ernesto Posse]

Hi. I'm trying to define my own layout file and I ran into this situation:
I need a style whose latex command must go into the preamble (as required
by the underlying latex class), but I need to define my own command for the
style because the one provided by the base class doesn't work well with the
way styles work in the LyX UI.

The problem is that styles which have been declared as InPreamble 1 get
their code generated before the user preamble which defines the required
latex command, and therefore, when compiling, LaTeX will stop with an error
saying that the control sequence is not defined (because it is defined
later). The style in question is the following:

Style Category
InPreamble 1
LabelType Static
LabelString Category
LatexType Command
LatexName ACMCCScategory
RequiredArgs 3
Margin Dynamic
Labelsep xx
LabelFont
Family Sans
Series Bold
Shape Slanted
Size Normal
Color Blue
EndFont
Preamble
\newcommand{\ACMCCScategory}[4]{\category{#1}{#2}{#3}[4]}
EndPreamble
End

So as you see, the style uses the custom-defined command \ACMCCScategory,
but the generated code is this:

\makeatletter


%% LyX specific LaTeX commands.


\ACMCCScategory{D.2.4}{Software Engineering}{Software/Program
Verification}{Formal methods}


%% Textclass specific LaTeX commands.

\newcommand{\ACMCCScategory}[4]{\category{#1}{#2}{#3}[4]}


%% User specified LaTeX commands.

\usepackage{aadl}


\makeatother


So the problem is evident: the command is defined after it is being used.


Is there a way to tell LyX to produce the preamble commands before the in
preamble styles?

No, this is not yet possible.

However, if you use LyX 2.1, you do not need an own command, since the
command in question is possible with the help of the new argument syntax:

Style Category
InPreamble1
LabelTypeStatic
LabelStringCategory
LatexTypeCommand
LatexNamecategory
Argument 1
Mandatory 1
LabelStringCR number
EndArgument
Argument 2
Mandatory 1
LabelStringCategory
EndArgument
Argument 3
Mandatory 1
LabelStringSub-Category
EndArgument
Argument 4
LabelStringSubject Descriptor
EndArgument
MarginDynamic
Labelsepxx
LabelFont
FamilySans
SeriesBold
ShapeSlanted
SizeNormal
ColorBlue
EndFont
End


This also gives a much better UI, since both the Insert menu and the
argument insets tell you which argument you are actually dealing with. And
the order of insertion does not matter (in contrast to the pre 2.1 argument
insets)


HTH,
Jürgen

Yosemite problems...

[Murat Yildizoglu]

Hi,
I have updated by MacBook to Yosemite and LyX to the last version
(2.1.2.1). This solves the problem of only being able to reconfigure LyX
after having launched it from the command line.
But I have now another problem, the figures in PDF format are not loaded in
LyX. It says that it cannot convert them to a loadable format. I have both
ImageMagick and GhostScript installed via MacPorts (that I have also
updated), and, when I launch LyX from the terminal, it can convert the
graphics and show them on the screen.

Is this an unsolvable problem, or can we do something for getting back the
functionality of LyX?

An aside, in case you are worrying about this: I have checked that KnitR
files compile without any problem.

Any idea about the solution?

Best regards,

Murat

Re: Custom layout file: in preamble styles with custom latex commands

[Ernesto Posse]

Thanks. That's quite nice, but it doesn't work quite as expected.

I tried the two forms, arguments with and without 'post:' and I get the
same result: the second argument of the command is the body (the text
that follows all arguments) and Mandatory 0 seems to be ignored (the
generated argument is enclosed in {...} rather than [...]). For example, if
in the LyX work area I write the following (with text enclosed in ...
representing the style name and ...[ ... ] representing an argument inset)

Category CR number[D.2.4.1] Category[Software Engineering]
Sub-category[Software/Program Verification] Subject [Formal methods]
Some other text

Then the resulting code is

\category{D.2.4.1}{Some other text}{Software Engineering}{Software/Program
Verification}{Formal  methods}

So it looks like all arguments after the first are treated as if they where
tagged with 'post:' and the optional flag seems to be ignored.

Is this a bug or am I missing something?

Re: Yosemite problems...

I've been having this problem with embedded PDFs as well since at least 
2.1.1. (As with Murat, they do render successfully if I start LyX from 
the CL.)

No preview - Warning: xelatex had problems compiling lyxpreviews?????.tex

[Itai Shaked]

Hello,

I'm having a problem with math previews in lyx 2.1.2 - in certain documents
(possibly all documents set to be compiled with xelatex) there is no
preview for math.

When running from terminal I get the error in the subject:

Warning: xelatex had problems compiling lyxpreviews?.tex

repeating a few times for various files. Locating those files in
/tmp/lyx_tmpdir... I can see there is a valid PDF for each, and running
xelatex manually on them works without any error.
Note also that on the same machine lyx 2.1.0 does not have the same
problem, and the same documents have previews.

What could be the problem, and how do I solve it?

Thanks

Trisha,

The link above takes you to an installer for a very old version (2.0.5) 
of LyX. You shouldn't use it.


In your email to me this morning you told me that LyX (well, more 
exactly, the LaTeX engine that it was calling) wasn't even finding 
article.cls, which is the most basic class file, which suggests to me 
that your problem (or, at least, one very basic problem) doesn't have 
anything to do with the problem of finding missing layouts discussed in 
the link in your original message. I think your best bet, short of a 
complete reinstall of Windows, is to reinstall the latest versions of 
MikTeX and LyX. MikTeX is found here http://miktex.org/download. You 
can download the latest version (2.1.2) of LyX for Windows by clicking 
here ftp://ftp.lyx.org/pub/lyx/bin/2.1.2/LyX-2.1.2-Installer-1.exe.


You noted that you did some sort of migration from your old laptop to 
your new one, and those are notorious (on both Macs and Windows 
machines) for screwing things up. If you have the time and the patience, 
I suspect doing a fresh install of Windows on a clean drive, followed by 
fresh installs of MikTeX and LyX would solve your problems. If that 
isn't possible, once again, give the latest versions of MikTeX and LyX a 
shot.


 Also I can't seem to post any questions on Lyx-users platform.

You seem able to now. :-)

 myspell is the the only usable package in your scenario. In fact it's 
 hunspell. The debian package puts the dictionaries into /usr/share/hunspell. 
 (At least the package contents here says so: 
 https://packages.debian.org/wheezy/all/myspell-es/filelist)
 
 So you may enter the mentioned path into your preferences and see if it 
 works.

 Yes. I installed all lib and necesary modules for enchant and hunspell, when

 And you has to point it to the dictionaries if you have put them

   added en_US and es_ES dictionaries, and tested it on a couple of text

   When I start it from LyX, I get the message Spellchecker has no

  So, the dictionaries are not found.
  
  The hunspell backend is better prepared for this situation, though.
  You can open the message pane (in View menu) and enable debug messages

  the files/directories LyX is looking for dictionaries in message pane.

Custom layout file: in preamble styles with custom latex commands

[Ernesto Posse]

Hi. I'm trying to define my own layout file and I ran into this situation:
I need a style whose latex command must go into the preamble (as required
by the underlying latex class), but I need to define my own command for the
style because the one provided by the base class doesn't work well with the
way styles work in the LyX UI.

The problem is that styles which have been declared as InPreamble 1 get
their code generated before the user preamble which defines the required
latex command, and therefore, when compiling, LaTeX will stop with an error
saying that the control sequence is not defined (because it is defined
later). The style in question is the following:

Style Category
InPreamble 1
LabelType Static
LabelString Category
LatexType Command
LatexName ACMCCScategory
RequiredArgs 3
Margin Dynamic
Labelsep xx
LabelFont
Family Sans
Series Bold
Shape Slanted
Size Normal
Color Blue
EndFont
Preamble
\newcommand{\ACMCCScategory}[4]{\category{#1}{#2}{#3}[4]}
EndPreamble
End

So as you see, the style uses the custom-defined command \ACMCCScategory,
but the generated code is this:

\makeatletter


%% LyX specific LaTeX commands.


\ACMCCScategory{D.2.4}{Software Engineering}{Software/Program
Verification}{Formal methods}


%% Textclass specific LaTeX commands.

\newcommand{\ACMCCScategory}[4]{\category{#1}{#2}{#3}[4]}


%% User specified LaTeX commands.

\usepackage{aadl}


\makeatother


So the problem is evident: the command is defined after it is being used.


Is there a way to tell LyX to produce the preamble commands before the in
preamble styles?

No, this is not yet possible.

However, if you use LyX 2.1, you do not need an own command, since the
command in question is possible with the help of the new argument syntax:

Style Category
InPreamble1
LabelTypeStatic
LabelStringCategory
LatexTypeCommand
LatexNamecategory
Argument 1
Mandatory 1
LabelStringCR number
EndArgument
Argument 2
Mandatory 1
LabelStringCategory
EndArgument
Argument 3
Mandatory 1
LabelStringSub-Category
EndArgument
Argument 4
LabelStringSubject Descriptor
EndArgument
MarginDynamic
Labelsepxx
LabelFont
FamilySans
SeriesBold
ShapeSlanted
SizeNormal
ColorBlue
EndFont
End


This also gives a much better UI, since both the Insert menu and the
argument insets tell you which argument you are actually dealing with. And
the order of insertion does not matter (in contrast to the pre 2.1 argument
insets)


HTH,
Jürgen

 path in preferences is greyed.

Hi Marcelo,
the path is disabled if LyX is build without hunspell support. You said in a 
previous mail you installed the libraries - perhaps you didn't install the 
devel package for hunspell. This should result in a LyX binary with hunspell 
support. 

Stephan 

 At the present moment lyx recognize aspell and enchant.
 Aspell say that no found dictionaries, but enchant work.
 The only problem is that enchant not recognize my personal dictionary.
 
 Regards
 Marcelo

   Which spell checker has a spanish dictionary?
   ispell, aspell, myspell
  
  myspell is the the only usable package in your scenario. In fact it's 
  hunspell. The debian package puts the dictionaries into 
  /usr/share/hunspell. (At least the package contents here says so: 
  https://packages.debian.org/wheezy/all/myspell-es/filelist)
  
  So you may enter the mentioned path into your preferences and see if it 
  works.

   LyX has to be compiled with hunspell support. That's enough.
  
  Yes. I installed all lib and necesary modules for enchant and hunspell, 
  when I run ./configure I get all the messages that say enchant and 
  hunspell are ready.

  And you has to point it to the dictionaries if you have put them

Can you try the Hunspell package, please?
Enchant support in LyX 2.1 is not very good.

I have exactly the same problem with hunspell. I compiled and 
installed it,
added en_US and es_ES dictionaries, and tested it on a couple of text
files from the console - no problem.

When I start it from LyX, I get the message Spellchecker has no
dictionaries
   
   So, the dictionaries are not found.
   
   The hunspell backend is better prepared for this situation, though.
   You can open the message pane (in View menu) and enable debug messages
   for Files used by LyX. Then make sure you've enabled the Hunspell 
   checker in preferences. Now you can start the spell check and you'll see
   the files/directories LyX is looking for dictionaries in message pane.
   
Strange: I configured Hunspell in LyX and did an strace. In the strace
output I found:

Yosemite problems...

[Murat Yildizoglu]

Hi,
I have updated by MacBook to Yosemite and LyX to the last version
(2.1.2.1). This solves the problem of only being able to reconfigure LyX
after having launched it from the command line.
But I have now another problem, the figures in PDF format are not loaded in
LyX. It says that it cannot convert them to a loadable format. I have both
ImageMagick and GhostScript installed via MacPorts (that I have also
updated), and, when I launch LyX from the terminal, it can convert the
graphics and show them on the screen.

Is this an unsolvable problem, or can we do something for getting back the
functionality of LyX?

An aside, in case you are worrying about this: I have checked that KnitR
files compile without any problem.

Any idea about the solution?

Best regards,

Murat

Re: Custom layout file: in preamble styles with custom latex commands

[Ernesto Posse]

Thanks. That's quite nice, but it doesn't work quite as expected.

I tried the two forms, arguments with and without 'post:' and I get the
same result: the second argument of the command is the body (the text
that follows all arguments) and Mandatory 0 seems to be ignored (the
generated argument is enclosed in {...} rather than [...]). For example, if
in the LyX work area I write the following (with text enclosed in ...
representing the style name and ...[ ... ] representing an argument inset)

Category CR number[D.2.4.1] Category[Software Engineering]
Sub-category[Software/Program Verification] Subject [Formal methods]
Some other text

Then the resulting code is

\category{D.2.4.1}{Some other text}{Software Engineering}{Software/Program
Verification}{Formal  methods}

So it looks like all arguments after the first are treated as if they where
tagged with 'post:' and the optional flag seems to be ignored.

Is this a bug or am I missing something?

No preview - "Warning: xelatex had problems compiling lyxpreviews?????.tex"

[Itai Shaked]

Hello,

I'm having a problem with math previews in lyx 2.1.2 - in certain documents
(possibly all documents set to be compiled with xelatex) there is no
preview for math.

When running from terminal I get the error in the subject:

Warning: xelatex had problems compiling lyxpreviews?.tex

repeating a few times for various files. Locating those files in
"/tmp/lyx_tmpdir..." I can see there is a valid PDF for each, and running
xelatex manually on them works without any error.
Note also that on the same machine lyx 2.1.0 does not have the same
problem, and the same documents have previews.

What could be the problem, and how do I solve it?

Thanks

Hmm. Try posting this to lyx-devel. I don't think a PDF is what we want 
in this case, but I am not that familiar with this part of the code.

Hi Scott

I've currently uninstalled Lyx from my laptop. I've noticed on the
lyx-users platform a suggestion to do that as well as downloading the
following link below

http://wiki.lyx.org/Windows/LyXWinInstaller

Should this work? Would I still need to make any changes after
downloading Lyx from the link above,

like coping the layout packages from MiKTeX to LyX?

Also I can't seem to post any questions on Lyx-users platform. I'd
really appreciate your help Scott.

Trisha,

The link above takes you to an installer for a very old version (2.0.5) 
of LyX. You shouldn't use it.


In your email to me this morning you told me that LyX (well, more 
exactly, the LaTeX engine that it was calling) wasn't even finding 
article.cls, which is the most basic class file, which suggests to me 
that your problem (or, at least, one very basic problem) doesn't have 
anything to do with the problem of finding missing layouts discussed in 
the link in your original message. I think your best bet, short of a 
complete reinstall of Windows, is to reinstall the latest versions of 
MikTeX and LyX. MikTeX is found here . You 
can download the latest version (2.1.2) of LyX for Windows by clicking 
here .


You noted that you did some sort of "migration" from your old laptop to 
your new one, and those are notorious (on both Macs and Windows 
machines) for screwing things up. If you have the time and the patience, 
I suspect doing a fresh install of Windows on a clean drive, followed by 
fresh installs of MikTeX and LyX would solve your problems. If that 
isn't possible, once again, give the latest versions of MikTeX and LyX a 
shot.


> Also I can't seem to post any questions on Lyx-users platform.

You seem able to now. :-)

Custom layout file: in preamble styles with custom latex commands

[Ernesto Posse]

Hi. I'm trying to define my own layout file and I ran into this situation:
I need a style whose latex command must go into the preamble (as required
by the underlying latex class), but I need to define my own command for the
style because the one provided by the base class doesn't work well with the
way styles work in the LyX UI.

The problem is that styles which have been declared as "InPreamble 1" get
their code generated before the user preamble which defines the required
latex command, and therefore, when compiling, LaTeX will stop with an error
saying that the control sequence is not defined (because it is defined
later). The style in question is the following:

Style Category
InPreamble 1
LabelType Static
LabelString "Category"
LatexType Command
LatexName ACMCCScategory
RequiredArgs 3
Margin Dynamic
Labelsep xx
LabelFont
Family Sans
Series Bold
Shape Slanted
Size Normal
Color Blue
EndFont
Preamble
\newcommand{\ACMCCScategory}[4]{\category{#1}{#2}{#3}[4]}
EndPreamble
End

So as you see, the style uses the custom-defined command \ACMCCScategory,
but the generated code is this:

\makeatletter


%% LyX specific LaTeX commands.


\ACMCCScategory{D.2.4}{Software Engineering}{Software/Program
Verification}{Formal methods}


%% Textclass specific LaTeX commands.

\newcommand{\ACMCCScategory}[4]{\category{#1}{#2}{#3}[4]}


%% User specified LaTeX commands.

\usepackage{aadl}


\makeatother


So the problem is evident: the command is defined after it is being used.


Is there a way to tell LyX to produce the preamble commands before the "in
preamble" styles?

No, this is not yet possible.

However, if you use LyX 2.1, you do not need an own command, since the
command in question is possible with the help of the new argument syntax:

Style Category
InPreamble1
LabelTypeStatic
LabelString"Category"
LatexTypeCommand
LatexNamecategory
Argument 1
Mandatory 1
LabelString"CR number"
EndArgument
Argument 2
Mandatory 1
LabelString"Category"
EndArgument
Argument 3
Mandatory 1
LabelString"Sub-Category"
EndArgument
Argument 4
LabelString"Subject Descriptor"
EndArgument
MarginDynamic
Labelsepxx
LabelFont
FamilySans
SeriesBold
ShapeSlanted
SizeNormal
ColorBlue
EndFont
End


This also gives a much better UI, since both the Insert menu and the
argument insets tell you which argument you are actually dealing with. And
the order of insertion does not matter (in contrast to the pre 2.1 argument
insets)


HTH,
Jürgen

Hi Marcelo,
the path is disabled if LyX is build without hunspell support. You said in a 
previous mail you installed the libraries - perhaps you didn't install the 
devel package for hunspell. This should result in a LyX binary with hunspell 
support.

Yosemite problems...

[Murat Yildizoglu]

Hi,
I have updated by MacBook to Yosemite and LyX to the last version
(2.1.2.1). This solves the problem of only being able to reconfigure LyX
after having launched it from the command line.
But I have now another problem, the figures in PDF format are not loaded in
LyX. It says that it cannot convert them to a loadable format. I have both
ImageMagick and GhostScript installed via MacPorts (that I have also
updated), and, when I launch LyX from the terminal, it can convert the
graphics and show them on the screen.

Is this an unsolvable problem, or can we do something for getting back the
functionality of LyX?

An aside, in case you are worrying about this: I have checked that KnitR
files compile without any problem.

Any idea about the solution?

Best regards,

Murat

Re: Custom layout file: in preamble styles with custom latex commands

[Ernesto Posse]

Thanks. That's quite nice, but it doesn't work quite as expected.

I tried the two forms, arguments with and without 'post:' and I get the
same result: the second argument of the command is the "body" (the text
that follows all arguments) and "Mandatory 0" seems to be ignored (the
generated argument is enclosed in {...} rather than [...]). For example, if
in the LyX work area I write the following (with text enclosed in <...>
representing the style name and <...>[ ... ] representing an argument inset)

 [D.2.4.1] [Software Engineering]
[Software/Program Verification]  [Formal methods]
Some other text

Then the resulting code is

\category{D.2.4.1}{Some other text}{Software Engineering}{Software/Program
Verification}{Formal  methods}

So it looks like all arguments after the first are treated as if they where
tagged with 'post:' and the optional flag seems to be ignored.

Is this a bug or am I missing something?

I've been having this problem with embedded PDFs as well since at least

Please respond to the list, not to me personally.

Here might be what you want:
ftp://bo.mirror.garr.it/mirrors/lyx/bin/2.1.2/
Unless you have a LaTeX installed, you probably want the bundle:
