Indeed removing the quotes seems to have worked.

lyx 2rc1 prefs2prefs
Hi, I want to report a problem with 2rc1. I have made a trouble-free installation of the source tarball on Mandriva linux 2010.0. [emason@acacia .lyx]$ uname -a Linux acacia.cmima.csic.es 2.6.31.14-desktop-1mnb #1 SMP Wed Nov 24 10:42:07 EST 2010 x86_64 Intel(R) Core(TM) i7 CPU 920 @ 2.67GHz GNU/Linux But when I try to start lyx I get the following: [emason@acacia .lyx]$ Traceback (most recent call last): File "/usr/local/share/lyx/scripts/prefs2prefs.py", line 192, in main(sys.argv) File "/usr/local/share/lyx/scripts/prefs2prefs.py", line 168, in main (update, newline) = c(lines[i]) File "/opt/share/lyx/scripts/prefs2prefs_prefs.py", line 54, in language_use_babel val = m.group(1) AttributeError: 'NoneType' object has no attribute 'group' filetools.cpp(991): Could not run file conversion script prefs2prefs.py.

Re: agutex layout?
Ok, I understand better how this works now and have edited the preamble to give
me line numbers and the inclusion of the figures, not just the figure floats,
using draft mode:
% OPTIONAL: To Create numbered lines uncomment these 2 lines:
\usepackage{lineno}
\linenumbers*[1]
% Include figures in draft mode
\setkeys{Gin}{draft=false}
Thanks for the replies,
Evan
Re: agutex layout?
> But thats the idea of the draft mode - getting a quick preview of the > document without images. > Hi Uwe, I'm still not sure about no figures in draft mode. At http://www.agu.org/pubs/authors/manuscript_tools/journals/latex/ it says when making the initial submission you should use draft mode with figures. Also in agutmpl.tex there is the option in draft mode to include figures or not. I've tried to activate that but I guess agutmpl.tex is not called when using agutex.layout? It would also be useful to have the line numbering option that is available in agutmpl.tex. Many thanks, Evan

I checked and I seem to have tetex, though texlive is available. I am using
Mandriva 2010.0.
I have a 25-page article prepared for JGR, I wrote it using article class. I
have run into a few minor problems with the conversion to agutex.
1. Some of the authors have accents in their names, I had written them as {\'a}
etc, but these now appear as blank spaces.
2. 'galley' mode works fine, but in 'draft' mode my figures don't appear;the
float appears with the the path and figure name printed, but no figure.
3. I'm also struggling with the 'Latex error, floats lost' warnings. I have
about 20 figures which previously were embedded in the text, but agutex.layout
wants me to have all the figures at the end. I've read that the way to avoid
the 'floats lost' warning is to put a Clear page every few figures, but do far
this is not working. I have tried New page between every figure and this still
doesn't work.
Apart from these issues the layout file seems to be good.
Thanks, Evan

I was successful using your example (agutex.lyx) but less so with my own lyx file. Using your example I have Documents>Settings>Document_class set to agutex, and Class_options>Custom set to jgrga (if I remove or change jgrga it breaks.) I have no prior experience with cls and sty files, but have gained some information through google and Lyx/Help/Customization. I created the dir /usr/share/texmf/tex/latex/agutex and placed agu-ps.sty and agutmpl.tex there, then the command mktexlsr. I placed agutex.cls and agutex.layout in ~/.lyx/layouts/ and made soft links to them from my working dir. I then followed the Notes and format in agutex.lyx, adjusting my lyx document and preamble accordingly. When I try to compile I simply get: [ema...@acacia NEA_seas_cycle]$ Warning: Output is empty An empty output file was generated. I'd be grateful for any pointers on where I might be going wrong? Thanks, Evan

Les, I tried your example and it works for me. However, I inserted a nomenclature entry and I find that Nomenclature comes out in Spanish (Nomenclatura). I want to place the Nomenclature at the very end after the appendix and before the bibliography. Does this happen for you? This is were I am now with my document. The appendix is all in English as it should be, it's just the nomenclature. Evan
problem with two languages in a thesis
Hi, I have 8 child documents of an English thesis. Child/chapter 7 is in Spanish. The 8th child is the appendix. The problem is that in the appendix lyx continues to use Spanish (Cuadro rather than Table and so on). I started out setting the language in child 7 to Spanish with Documents > Settings. I have now changed it English, highlighted the entire chapter and set Spanish using Edit > Text style. I then highlighted the entire appendix and set it to English in the same way. But this has not worked. Can anyone tell where I am going wrong? Thanks, Evan

I've put the files to a different directory so lyx thinks they are missing, and I can now work without this problem. My figures are png, there are 12 at present, they are all about 0.5 Mb. I have set the scaling, usually 30-40% so my figures fit the lyx window. Nothing else unusual I can think of; there are a couple of tables, but otherwise it's just text and the figures. I'm happy to try the debugging, just I am bit busy right now with a thesis to finish by October. If it's straightforward I can try to do it. Compiling lyx is fine, I prefer to do it that way. Thanks, Evan
lyx crashes - std::bad_alloc
Hi, I am running lyx 1.6.4 with Mandriva 2008. Over the last few days Lyx keeps freezing, and after a minute or two comes up with the message 'Lyx has caught an exception... Exception: std::bad_alloc'. It seems to happen just with one particular document I am working on, but I am not totally sure. I'd be grateful for any help with a solution to this. Many thanks, Evan
list of figures off the page
Hi, I am using book koma-script. When I compile my document with pdflatex everything is fine, but with dvipdfm or ps2pdf the list of figures and tables are not correct. They don't wrap, so that each caption just goes off the page. I can't be the only one this happens to, but haven't found any other post on this. Any help much appreciated, Evan

nomenclature and table of contents, wrong level
I have inserted nomenclature into my toc using the FAQ advice ( http://wiki.lyx.org/FAQ/Unsorted1#toc13 ). I am using book-KOMA. I have an appendix, and the nomencalture and bibliography are at the back of the appendix. In the toc, the bibliography comes out fine, but the nomenclature comes out in the toc as a section of the last chapter of the appendix. How can I prevent this? Many thanks, Evan
