Re: Paste becomes disabled after a while in Windows

Hi,

I'm using LyX 2.1.4 in Windows 10 64bit, but I have had this issue for 
a while. If LyX has been open for a while, suddenly paste stops 
working - it becomes disabled. On the menu, the paste and paste 
special are greyed out, and only paste recent is available.


I think this is related to 
http://www.latex-community.org/forum/viewtopic.php?f=19=19635.


Best,
Joon

We know this happens, but we have no clue what causes it. If you have 
any idea, please share it.

 Hi,
 I use Lyx under OSX Mavericks.
 I have discovered a small problem in beta2 yesterday: \Omega is invisible
 in a math inset (but becomes visible when the cursor leaves it).
 I have consequently installed the RC1 to check if this problem has been
 solved. It seems that it is replaced by a smaller one: \Omega is replaced by
 W in the math inset (but appears as \Omega out of it. \VarOmega has also a
 problem by the way.

 I attach a small lyx file in which you could check the problem (maybe it
 is OSX only, I cannot check it).
 Can you confirm it on OSX or other OS?


 This is a known problem which should be solved (in terms of worked around)
 in 2.1.0 final. See
 http://www.lyx.org/trac/ticket/7954

 The workaround currently is to display \Omega instead of the glyph on
 MacOSX. To really solve the problem, some more work is needed, which might
 only go to LyX 2.2.

To slightly detail the response. The work-around is already in rc1 and
that's probably the small w that is observed. There will be no change
between 2.1.0 final and rc1.

I'm not sure where this comes from. It is quite normal behaviour if I use a

ANNOUNCE: LyX version 2.1.0 (beta 2)

[Vincent van Ravesteijn]

Public release of LyX version 2.1.0beta2


We are proud to announce the second public beta release of the new
LyX 2.1 series.

With this release, LyX celebrates 18 years of existence. The 2.1 series
has a rich set of new features compared to the current stable series.

LyX 2.1.0beta2 is the culmination of two and half years of hard work.
This release is meant for testing before we actually release LyX 2.1.

An overview of the new features can be found here:
  http://wiki.lyx.org/LyX/NewInLyX21

You can download LyX 2.1.0beta2 from ftp://ftp.lyx.org/pub/lyx/devel/.

We hope you will enjoy the result!

The file RELEASE-NOTES lists some known issues and problems compared
to the current stable releases (LyX 2.0.x). We strongly recommend that
packagers of LyX on various platforms and distributions read this file.

As with any major release, this one comes with lot of new features but
also some bugs. If you think you have found a bug in LyX 2.1.0beta2,
either email the LyX developers' mailing list (lyx-devel at lists.lyx.org),
or open a bug report at http://www.lyx.org/trac/wiki/BugTrackerHome.

If you have trouble using LyX or have a question, consult the
documentation that comes with LyX (under Help) and the LyX wiki, which you
will find at http://wiki.lyx.org/. You can also send email to the LyX 
users'

  we think we made it clear our comments do not apply to LyX, but the
 community as a whole.

 Regarding my reply to Vincent's, Not professional ? Right, don't use it
 then., it's simply an issue with text only based communication, where
 there are multiple ways of interpreting what has been written. Regardless
 of the native language of the writer.

 I could have read his reply as being light hearted, friendly, as Well,
 OK, don't use it.  Or I could have read it as OK, A$$hole, go f**k off!
  Or, the feeling behind the words could be something in between. With such
 a short reply, and no indicators such as smilies to let me know the emotion
 behind the comment, I don't know how Vincent feels with his reply.


It was this part that made me a bit angry indeed:

You do understand that a lot of open-source software, including LyX, is
developed by *volunteers*, do you?

 I do, but that's no excuse for being nonprofessional in what you are
trying to do

We do our best, but it's just not possible to be professional when there is
only a handful contibutors who need to find some spare time to maintain a
project like LyX.

 Just to be clear, Rich and I have indicated our general comments were not
LyX specific.

A lof of the general comments also do apply to LyX, so it feels a bit as
being critized, even though you say they are not LyX specific.

Last remark: Welcome to LyX as a new user ;

 LyX really came through for me.

 Now I'm helping a friend apply to graduate school. I used the KOMA-script
 v. 2 letter class to typeset his letter of intent. Looks good!

 Now on to the résumé. Let's see what's available. ModernCV looks good,
 under development for seven years.

 Except it won't accept last names much longer than the author's name
 without hyphenation. Searching produces lot's of hacks to deal with this.

 Run the example that comes with LyX. Note in example says, 'The moderncv
 class offers lots of customization possibilities; some are explained in the
 preamble of this document; for more information look at the documentation
 of the LaTeX-package moderncv.'

 Yeah, right. The README for moderncv is very short and includes this: 'Until
 a decent manual is written, you can always look in the examples directory
 for some examples. Documents can be compiled into dvi, ps or pdf.'

 The example LyX file points to documentation that doesn't actually exist.
 There is no 'more information'. Nothing is explained. Seven years of
 development and there's nothing that Aunt Tillie can use.

 I know what I'm going to hear, 'Do it yourself', 'That's how open source
 works'. I agree. Perhaps I'll find the time to work on the documentation.
 In the meantime, I need to produce a document NOW, not work on the
 documentation for the tool to produce the document.

 Lesson: Please don't point to ghost documentation. If you have the time to
 produce something that you expect people to use, you need to make the time
 to explain how to use it.

 (Disclaimer: this doesn't apply to LyX itself, which is richly documented.
 Just to accessories to LyX and to open source generally.)

True - I discovered that one as well. But there is only one colour for all 
depths.

To really see which depth it is, it would be usefull to have each depth a 
different coloured depth
marker.


Ah.. I didn't get this subtlty from your original message.

Aren't three depth bars enough to tell you that the depth is three... ? 
Or do you have documents with large depths ?


Maybe we could color the background of the paragraphs slightly lighter 
depending on the depth.

True - I discovered that one as well. But there is only one colour for all 
depths.

To really see which depth it is, it would be usefull to have each depth a 
different coloured depth
marker.


Ah.. I didn't get this subtlty from your original message.

Aren't three depth bars enough to tell you that the depth is three... ? 
Or do you have documents with large depths ?


Maybe we could color the background of the paragraphs slightly lighter 
depending on the depth.

Hello!

I stumbled into problems previewing PDF graphics inside LyX. It would

You didn't mention which version of LyX you have installed. There was a 
bug in the version of ImageMagick that was included in the LyX 
installer. This bug prevented pdf images to be previewed. The latest LyX 
installer has a newer version of ImageMagick that fixes this.



3. Would ps2eps be included if I had chosen the combined LyX/MiKTeX
installer? CTAN says, that it is not part of MiKTeX (
http://www.ctan.org/pkg/ps2eps ).
3a. If yes, is there anywhere any indication that the combined
installer should be preferred?


No, it should be ok to install MikTex separately. I don't have ps2eps as 
well, so that is not the problem.


Vincent

Re: Lyx on Windows: ps2eps missing?

[Vincent van Ravesteijn]

Ah sorry, that LyX Version number was lost during editing the email.

LyX was installed using the installer LyX-2.0.3-1-Installer.exe,
which should be the latest one.


There is a newer installer which fixes a security issue in the same 
ImageMagick library.


Anyway, the problem did not seem Image-Magick related to me. Switching
to using convert.exe for PDF-PNG conversion fixed the problem after
all. It was the default converter, that did not work -- and that uses
ps2eps in an intermediate step, which should be related to the LaTeX
distribution rather than Image Magick. Your answer seems to indicate,
that LyX is meant to use Image Magick for PDF previewing by default
though.


The default should use the script Resources\convertDefault.py which 
indeed should use ImageMagick's convert.exe.


I'm not sure which step goes wrong for you.

It will stop after 30 minutes. Alternatively you can kill the underlying

Re: AW: LyX on Windows with UNC home directories

[Vincent van Ravesteijn]

Dear LyX users and developers,

LyX has a problem with Windows users that have their home directory on a UNC 
path. http://wiki.lyx.org/LyX/Troubleshooting mentions these problems for Lyx 
1.5 already. (Recent versions do start, but have no classes available.)

I have been struggling with this for a long time. The workaround described in 
the link (saving some steps by running configure.py directly from the 
AppData\Lyx2.0 folder) worked for me on Windows XP.

Now, on Windows 7, it does not work anymore. Today, I have done some 
experiments but unfortunately not found a solution yet.
What I have found out is that

-  Under local users, LyX states ~\AppData\Roaming\Lyx2.0 as the user 
directory. I have not seen the tilde on Windows before, but it works.

-  Under network users, it states 
\\server\user\ntdata\Anwendungsdaten\LyX2.0file:///\\server\user\ntdata\Anwendungsdaten\LyX2.0
 as the user directory.

-  Running reconfigure from LyX as the network user gives some messages 
in the status line that can be traced back to the fact that cmd.exe does not 
accept UNC folders.

Is there any way to reliably make LyX run as a user with a UNC home directory? 
Could it help to just give LyX a different user directory to work in? If so, 
how can that be done?

I think this issue really needs to be fixed soon - People with home directories 
on serves are not uncommon and LyX is practically unusable for them.

Hi Matthias,

Thanks for the descriptive report of the problem and your investigation
of it.

Please, could you add a ticket to the bug tracker at
http://www.lyx.org/trac/wiki/BugTrackerHome with as much information as
you can. Your email already is very descriptive of your investigation,
it would help to have this recorded on the bug tracker until someone
tries to tackle the bug.

I'm also cc'ing the dev list to see if anyone has any immediate ideas.

Regards,
Julien



Does anyone know how to 'simulate' such an UNC home directory. I used to 
do this using a network map, but maybe there are other methods ?

Dear Lyx Community

I'm currently using Lyx version 2.02 and am trying to create a text 
document (mainly in English) that also contains a few Chinese 
characters. However, having written my text, whenever I clicked on pdf 
viewer, the program said it Could not find LaTeX command for 
character '整' (code point 0x548c) and suggested I selected utf8 
[i.e., Unicode] in Document -- Settings -- Language -- Encoding and 
then try again. So I set Encoding to “Unicode (utf8), but to no 
avail. I got exactly the same message. I then tried Unicode (CJK) 
(utf8) and successively all the different unicode settings, all 
without success. I also tried playing around with the various other 
settings under Document -- Language (i.e., setting Language to 
Chinese, choosing the different Language packages [default, automatic, 
always babel, custom, none]), but all without success. Any suggestion 
what I could do?


Many thanks!

Re: AW: LyX on Windows with UNC home directories

[Vincent van Ravesteijn]

Dear LyX users and developers,

LyX has a problem with Windows users that have their home directory on a UNC 
path. http://wiki.lyx.org/LyX/Troubleshooting mentions these problems for Lyx 
1.5 already. (Recent versions do start, but have no classes available.)

I have been struggling with this for a long time. The workaround described in 
the link (saving some steps by running configure.py directly from the 
AppData\Lyx2.0 folder) worked for me on Windows XP.

Now, on Windows 7, it does not work anymore. Today, I have done some 
experiments but unfortunately not found a solution yet.
What I have found out is that

-  Under local users, LyX states ~\AppData\Roaming\Lyx2.0 as the user 
directory. I have not seen the tilde on Windows before, but it works.

-  Under network users, it states 
\\server\user\ntdata\Anwendungsdaten\LyX2.0file:///\\server\user\ntdata\Anwendungsdaten\LyX2.0
 as the user directory.

-  Running reconfigure from LyX as the network user gives some messages

accept UNC folders.

Re: problem control version windows, lyx-2.0.3

[Vincent van Ravesteijn]

So.. how can we prepare a collaborative document in LyX in windows system.
Please.. Do you have any suggestion, the system that we have to use.
What is the software svn client and the server, that perfectly match
with LyX.


As Stephan said, LyX can't handle yet Subversion 1.7. Your only option 
is to revert back to 1.6.
