Trouble Installing LyX on a new Surface Book 2
Hello everyone, I’m a math instructor in a community college in Cupertino California. I just bought a new Microsoft Windows Surface Book 2. After having to remove and re-install LyX with Mik-TeX several times, I think it’s almost working. MikTeX appears to be working. I’m able to create and process documents using TexWorks. When I load a tutorial document in LyX and hit ^R, it tells me “No PDF viewer installed. Please Install a PDF viewer such as Adobe Reader.” After that, Windows told me "LyX2.3exe has stopped working” and closed the program for me. As I said, MikTeX seems to be able to find a PDF viewer fine, and of course the installer for LyX installed a copy of Ghostscript, so I’m baffled as to why this isn’t working, and why LyX froze. When I go into LyX and select Tools>Preferences>File Handling>File Formats, under Viewer it says “none.” When I bring down the dropdown list under viewer, the only other choice is custom. When I go under Tools>Preferences>Path and look under Path prefix, I see a long list that includes the directory for Ghostscript. $LyXDir\bin;$LyXDir\Python;$LyXDir\Python\Lib;$LyXDir\Perl\bin;$LyXDir\imagemagick;C:\Users\Misty\AppData\Local\Programs\MiKTeX 2.9\miktex\bin\x64;C:\Users\Misty\AppData\Local\LyX 2.3\ghostscript\bin;C:\Program Files\Inkscape I’ve tried Tools>Reconfigure. I would very much appreciate help on what I should try next. Thank you, Rick Taylor
RE: Compiling pdf sometimes stops when child document has a different textclass

Re: Compiling pdf sometimes stops when child document has a different textclass
I do have v0.5, but lyx hanging and tikz errors are unrelated issues. When export just the child document with my textclass Lyx usually spits out error messages instead of pdf, but not always though. I suspect it's any of the packages used in the document class that tikz doesn't like. I've no problems with tikz once my graphs are cached. Kind regards, Rick Blok

RE: testers needed for LyX\'s Windows installer
I've noticed the warning in the installer, but I've installed 2.0.3 in the same way and I haven't noticed any problems. MikTeX is the portable version and sits in a directory were I've got write access. Lyx is using it (got multiple versions on the computer) since the right folder is in lyxrc.dist, preferences dialog and in tex information, and I've got no latex in my path. I can't see any new files in MikTeX's bin folder. I will try later on a computer were I've got admin privileges.

How do you enter additional arguments?
Hi All.
I'm missing something obvious here. I'm using moderncv to construct my CV.
One of the paragraph environments is \cventry
I need to have a cventry look like the following:
\cventry{date} {major} {University}{School} {City} {title}
When I use the paragraph environment in Lyx for an Entry I get the
following code:
\cventry{}
Only one argument is listed but I need six. How do I get it
to enter the next argument? I've tried '\{' with no luck, it just
buries the bracket inside the existing bracket. How do I move out of
the first set of argument brackets and start the 2nd set of argument
brackets? To be concrete...
How do I move from
\cventry{}
To
\cventry{date}{}
Thanks in advance,
Rick

Numbering References and Appendices in article class
I'm using the article class and bibtex generated references. My sections are numbered, but the references section is not numbered. Is there a way to get it numbered? Also, is there a more elegant way to do appendices in lyx other than using ERT (\appendix)? I tried looking for this on-line or through the help guides and came up empty. Peace and Luck!

I'm using the article class and bibtex generated references. My sections are numbered, but the references section is not numbered. Is there a way to get it numbered? Also, is there a more elegant way to do appendices in lyx other than using ERT (\appendix)? I tried looking for this on-line or through the help guides and came up empty. Peace and Luck!

See message http://article.gmane.org/gmane.editors.lyx.general/14643 in the archives Is it planned to include (inbuilt) that feature in future versions of LyX?

redlined documents
Is it possible to produce red/black lined versions of lyx documents? I would like to be able to show what's changed lawyer for the people I'm negotiating with. Thanks, Rick
Re: redlined documents
Please forgive me if the first version of this was incomprehensible. I would like to be able to produce successive versions of a lyx document (a lease) which show changes. This is so that the lawyer for the people I am negotiating with is not forced to check 40 pages of rather leaden prose to be sure that nothing was changed which was not advertised as changed. Is it possible to do this? If so, how. Thanks, as usual, for your help and your patience with the garbled first request. Rick

Re: citation errors
OK. I did some more investigation and it must be a problem with the latex or tetex version on the machine I'm on. Others have gotten it to work. I took your advice and looked at the .cls file. I deleted everything in there with cite in it and that did the trick. It now works. Thanks, Je77
highlighting and deleting batches of spam
I use a filter to put what's likely to be spam in a folder and then prune out what's real mail and delete the rest. The problem is that every message needs to be opened and then deleted, which doesn't work because so much spam takes forever to open due to url lookups etc., or highlighted with shift enter and then deleted. That saves opening the individual mails, but still requires a clickitalic per/italic message. I get lots (lots!) of spam. Often I'll need to delete 100 messages in a row. Is there a way to highlight a message and then select all subsequent messages up to a specific message? That way you could eyeball a list and delete message 1 through 65 with less than a handful of clicks, rather than the 65+ I'm going through. If not, what would be the best way to add a menu item that lets you select message 1 - 65, e.g., for deletion. Thanks, Rick

Hi,
I've been trying to convert one of my documents over to the ACM
proceedings format (acm_proc_article-sp.cls). I successfully created a
acm_proc_article-sp.layout file with minimal content:
--
#% Do not delete the line below; configure depends on this
# \DeclareLaTeXClass[acm_proc_article-sp]{article (ACM)}
Input article.layout
Columns 2
Preamble
\newtheorem{theorem}{Theorem}
EndPreamble
--
Then, I use LyX to indicate that the document is of type article (ACM)
and change the citation format to follow acm format. When, I try to view
the postscript, I get errors for every citation that I just don't understand:
--
Use of [EMAIL PROTECTED] doesn't match its definition.
... sometimes the medium is not enough \cite{
josephNacuConvergence}.
If you say, e.g., `\def\a1{...}', then you must always
put `1' after `\a', since control sequence names are
made up of letters only. The macro here has not been
followed by the required stuff, so I'm ignoring it.

Re: can lyx print with CUPS?
Sure. Edit - Preferences - Outputs. Then set your spool command to lp.cups or whatever you have linked to that command (probably lp, if anything). If you have more than one printer configured you may need to change the to printer from -P to whatever destination you need to use. If you're using CUPS you may want to install gimp-print, too. It has lots (lots!) of drivers. I'm very new to Lyx (and Debian!), so I hope this question is not too basic for this list. I installed Debian and am able to print from Kword using CUPS. I'd like to use Lyx for longer documents, though. Does Lyx work with CUPS? The printer tutorial in the customization help file talks about setting up the /etc/printcap file, but does not mention CUPS. I tried googling for help on this, but have not found anything. Can anyone help, or point me to a document that might get me started? Thanks, Peter Christensen

Bounding box problem and Figures UI comments
Lyx version: 1.2.0-pre5 Firstly, I have noticed a problem with figures imported from a 1.1.6 file. The displayed bounding box is much larger than the actual figure size. I have even noticed this when opening the User Guide (particularly the section on figures). I'm not sure whether this is an issue that is already known, or a non-issue entirely, but I didn't see a bug report regarding this. Second, a few comments (hopefully constructive) on usability. I have only been using 1.2.0-pre5 for a *very* short period of time, but there are already a few items I miss from the 1.1.6 UI. One of the first items I noticed missing on the figure option box was the set of radio buttons for custom width metrics. In particular, the ones I miss most are %col and %page. It would be nice if there were three radio options with %col, %page and other, where other consists of the current drop down list. Another item that I noticed are the separation of the LyX view and LaTeX size. This is a great idea, but it would be nice to have an option that locked the display options together by default, and allowed the user to vary them independently if desired. I know there are the Get LyX Size and Get LaTeX Size buttons, but I think it just adds an extra click for the common case (at least what I percive as the common case for my usage). Finally, the LyX view lack of support for determining %text, %col and %page size from the LaTeX size is somewhat frustrating. But, I'm not sure how much work would be required to support these options. Although these are my own personal preferences, and of course you never want to customize a UI to a single user, perhaps they could serve as the starting point for determining a reasonable set of default preferences (at least for figures) based on the combined input of users. -- Rick L.

How to insert a file into a table?
I used to be able to insert a text file into a table. But I can't do it user 1.1.6fix1. I used to just insert the cursor in the upper left most cell and do a file insert (as lines). When I try this, the text ends up outside the table. Worse, there are large blank spaces between the lines of text. I would like to put the data in a table or at least remove the blank lines from the text. Any ideas on how to do this? Rick Bilonick

I've asked my sysadmin to install it. Peace and Luck! Je77 On Mon, Aug 20, 2001 at 10:25:15AM +0300, Tuukka Toivonen wrote: On Sat, 18 Aug 2001, Jochen F. Rick wrote: --with-extra-inf= flags.

If you're using tcsh instead of bash, it's something like setenv C_INCLUDE_PATH /home/nadja/include I think that configure doesn't complain but fails silently if you mispell an argument.

Problems with forms.h (again)
Hi, LyX seems really cool; I want to start playing around with it badly, but can't seem to get it to work. I've searched the e-mail list and can't seem to find a good answer to my problem, so I'll try it here. First, let me explain that I don't have root access to the RedHat6.2 system that I'm trying to install it on, so I want to install it (lyx-1.1.6fix3) in my home directory. At the end of running configure, I get this message: The following problems have been detected by configure. Please check the messages below before running 'make'. (see the section 'Problems' in the INSTALL file) ** Cannot find libforms or libxforms. Please check that the xforms library is correctly installed on your system. ** Cannot find forms.h. Please check that the forms library is correctly installed on your system. Reading the INSTALL file, I see that I need xforms. I download it from the site and decompress it. Now, I try to use --with-extra-lib= and --with-extra-inf= flags. The first problem goes away, but the second one remains. I check the directory and sure enough there is a forms.h file in there. Yet, configure cannot find it. I tried tricking it by using --with-extra-prefix= flag, but that didn't work. So, I'm at a loss. Any help? Peace and Luck! Je77

Re: off-system printing
Hi! I just subscribed to this list and start out with a question that might be off-topic, but anyway. The thing is this, I just love lyx, it's something very needed in using linux (I just started using it, but so far so almost good) but I don't have a printer my self. Currently I'm using my mothers printer (she uses windows) my university printers (they use windows and MacOS) or my other schools printer (they to use windows). Now You might guess my problem. How do I create a pdf/ps-file that I can print in theese environments. Use lyx' print menu to print your postscript to a file; get the file to the computer you choose to use; use GSview to view and send postscript to your printer. You can get Gsview here: http://www.cs.wisc.edu/~ghost/gsview/get34. html If the printer accepts postscript, this should work. It works for computer modern, I haven't tried it with other fonts. I think that the problem is whit my fonts not beeing compatible with the ones on the other systems, but I'm not sure. If this is the case maybe some-one on this list can help me out in configuring my system with windows-compatible-fonts (I really don't need to worry about the MacOS). Maybe I should get information on which printers they use, what do I know?

problem with spellchecking german documents
I tried to spellcheck a german document. The documentlanguage is set to german and everything works fine, except spellchecking. The spellchecker stop at every word which contain german umlauts (ü,ä,ö,Ü,Ä,Ö) or a sharp s (ß). If I try "Insert in personal dictionary" or "Insert in personal dictionary" I will get "Word 'Universitäten' contains illegal characters." Can anybody help me with this problem? Thank you, Rick

Problem with Meta-Key
Hallo, I use Lyx 1.1.4. It seem, that lyx always use the key with modifier bit 1 as Meta, independant of the according keysym. I use a keybord with seperate key for Meta and Alt. As default, mod1 is assigned to Alt and mod4 is assigned to Meta. Therefore, Lyx thinks my Alt key would be Meta. Can I change this behavior without changing my X keymapping. Thank you, Rick Janda
