Re: arxiv pdf generated problem

2016-02-12 Thread Myriam Abramson 

I've finally solved my arxiv problem with pdflatex generated by
Lyx. Reading the instructions closely, arxiv says to put the
\pdfoutput=1 in the first 5 lines of the .tex file. They were not
kidding! I was putting it in the latex preamble in Lyx which of course
was not in the first 5 lines of the .tex file. 

Problem solved! Thanks for the support.

Yes, I've done that. It's in the arxiv instructions. But I still get
the same error: the images are not included.

Help with arxiv

2016-01-18 Thread Myriam Abramson 

Hello,

I've posted about that before but I still have some problems. 

If you were successful posting to arxiv.org from a lyx document, I
would like to hear from you.

My problem is now the insertion of images in the generation of a .pdf
document. Here are my steps:

1. In Lyx: export to latex (pdflatex)
2. run latex twice on the .tex file produced. This will generate .pdf
   images to be included. 
3. zip everything in the directory for submission to arxiv. 

Running pdflatex produces a correct document that includes the
images. Unfortunately, it seems that arxiv is not using pdflatex
(although it claims to be able to process pdflatex files). 

Anyother incantation does not seem to include the images in the
document. The images are in the directory and it seems that the images
are found wrapping \includegraphics with \fbox. 

Any ideas?

 Go here and get the .deb file:

 Once you have the .deb file, right click on it and install it with
 gDebi package installer. You can also install it from the command line
 or with Synaptic, but gDebi is easier because it's just a couple of

 In theory you could also add it with upgrade if you could figure out
 the right repository. I have had bad luck trying to figure out exactly
 which repo a program is in. I just find the .deb file and install it

Help! pdflatex error

2009-09-16 Thread Myriam Abramson 

I've just installed Ubuntu Hardy and it downloads Lyx 1.5.3.
(It's a new OS for me so how can I tell it to download a newer
version?)

Anyhow, I have problems viewing my Lyx document with pdflatex because
of the graphics. Here are the errors I get: 

Package pdfpages Error: the graphics package was loaded with driver
Latex error: cannot determine size of graphic in ... 

what to do?

Lyx and Ubuntu Hardy

2009-09-16 Thread Myriam Abramson 

Sorry, I'm new to Ubuntu (I was using Fedora before). Ubuntu comes
with 1.5.3 and apt-get refuses to let me upgrade to a newer version. 
I've tried to put that in the /etc/apt/sources.list but it didn't
work:

deb ftp://ftp.lyx.org/ubuntu hardy main 

and then apt-get update and upgrade but no luck. 

Any clue? I have a deadline. 
TIA,

svmult.cls

2009-02-05 Thread Myriam Abramson 

Hello,

I am using svmult.cls for a paper. I think it's from IEEE. I have
those requirements: 

(1) There are no page number in the header/footer area. Help! 

(2)  Paper title should appear on the odd page header.

It seems that svmult.cls does put the title in the odd page header so
I'm fine there but it also tries to put the author on the even page
header and complains that the length of the author field was too
long. I have my name, affiliation and email in the author field so I
guess that's why. How can I specify not to put anything on the even

help with gnuplot eps

 You shouldn't here, either.  Assuming that you have a document loaded,
 File - Export should be populated automatically with all formats for
 which LyX has a conversion path.  Are you saying that it's not?  If
 not, can you View - DVI or View - PDF (pdflatex)?  (If the answer is
 not to that as well, either the configuration script burped or
 something's up with your LaTeX distribution.  Or neither of the above.)

 I think you are correct.  The documentation makes no reference to
 keywords.  Curiously enough, the class file defines a macro
 \keywordname that prints the title for the keywords (in fact, it's
 defined in English, French and German!), but never uses that macro or
 makes any other visible provision for keywords.

Yes, that's a good point. I am stuck with MediaWiki however. I've

a wiki page with the bibtex entries (wrapped with pre/pre) for

(2) Can movies in pdf be run inline for lack of a better word? I
mean that a separate window does not have to come up.
