No error messages appear > either, no errors in the lyx window. Nothing. Are you using Linux? And if so, what flavor? On Debian Woody (i.e. testing) there has been a similar happening for a while (since early June, I think). I found out that the xdvi-part is a little bit broken: - lyx calls /usr/bin/xdvi which is a sh-script -> this script then calls xdvi.bin -binary-executable - xdvi.bin does not exist -> nothing much happens. There is, however, xdvi.real binary executable and I solved the problem by creating a link xdvi.bin -> xdvi.real (with command "ln -s xdvi.real xdvi.bin" as root in /usr/bin directory). There may be better ways, but this works here. e.airo

File corruption in LyX 1.1.14
Hello, I have encountered a not-so-nice feature in LyX version 1.1.14fix3 on Debian Potato (i.e. stable). Files written on another system (SuSE 6.3) with LyX 1.1.5fix2 get corrupted: - protected spaces disappear, no space at all shows up. - sometimes things written after a vanishing protected space are also lost, and if this includes environment change or anything but standard text, weird things may happen - if such a corrupted file is saved and re-opened, more corruption may appear. - even if I replace the spaces again, save and re-open, they are gone again, taking some more following texts with them... The problem does not appear on documents originally created and processed only on the same computer/LyX. Any clue on why this happens, and any solution other than upgrading LyX? I know upgrade would help as I have already compiled 1.1.6 but not yet done 'make install'. I've tried to keep this Debian-machine as Potato as possible -- that's why I'd like not to upgrade until later versions are included in Potato.

Just editing language.dat is not sufficient -- you should also run texhash after that. Or try texconfig as suggested, check the condition of language.dat from there and then choose rehash or run texhash or whatever the topic is. You can see what hyphenation tables are loaded by viewing the Latex log file (from the Lyx Edit menu). I also write in Finnish and after I got babel working, it makes practically no wrong hyphenations. It still sometimes leaves words uncut, but these are easier to find and correct. e.airo -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.geocities.com/soho/gallery/1122/ "Erkon puheita on mukava kuunnella vaikkei niistä aina mitään tolkkua saakaan."

Re: 1.1.6fix1 on SuSE6.3 ?

I managed to _compile_ it on SuSE 6.3 ok, but I have not yet installed or tested the new version -- have to finish some writings first with the old one. >From your error message it seems you do not have the xforms development package (xformsd) installed -- that is you must install both xforms and xformsd packages. If you have the full SuSE CD-set, the package is there. If you made the installation from the single CD evaluation version you must get the xformsd package from a Suse ftp-site. For libXpm I used the package (xpm) that came with the distro. No problems there. Compiler may be a problem. The gcc delivered with Suse 6.3 is too old, so I had to use egcs (again the version that came with distro seems to work). And if I remember right the package gpp must also be installed. Both these are found from the Suse series d if you use Yast to install stuff. I think one of these conflicts with something that is required by the gcc package, though I am no sure of this. For sources I used the source RPM from Kayvan A. Sylvan's ftp site, which seems to work fine. I did only minor editing on the spec file to change the names of required packages: the (la)tex packages on Redhat (on which the source RPM has been built) and Suse have different names, but this editing is only necessary to keep the rpm system happy, it does not effect the functionality of lyx. e.airo -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.geocities.com/soho/gallery/1122/ "Erkon puheita on mukava kuunnella vaikkei niistä aina mitään tolkkua saakaan."

I've been using LyX V1.1.5fix2 (and if I remember right, I also had V1.1.4 installed before) over VNC for a few months now, and it works as nicely as any other software. The VNC problems are same with Lyx and other programs too, or at least I have not found anything especially LyX-related when using VNC. Your problem is elsewhere--maybe you should do the homework now. e.airo -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.geocities.com/soho/gallery/1122/ "Erkon puheita on mukava kuunnella vaikkei niistä aina mitään tolkkua saakaan."
