Re: help with error message

[Dr Eberhard W Lisse]

No drama whatsoever for 10 years or so when downloading from TUG and
upgrading (annually).  But then I have a shell script to do this for me.

I have now installed BasicTeX on one of my boxes as a homebrew cask and
will see what happens when the annual upgrade comes round.

Never mind that I don't know what upstream tex is nor package installed
tex.

In the past, I've had a lot of problems operating with both upstream
tex, and package installed tex. So I recommend removing the package
installed tex, and installing the upstream. See
https://tug.org/texlive/acquire-netinstall.html for how to install from
upstream.

Re: help with error message

[Dr Eberhard W Lisse]

Heba,

download BasicTeX from the MacTex site. And then use tlmgr from the
command line to install missing packages individually. Before an update
it is trivial to save the list of installed packages so that one can
re-install them afterwards.

I bought me a 32Gig 4TB MacBoc 13" Pro (BtO) the other day and a 16Gig
2TB 12" Air for travel.

If you can wait a year of two I would wait a year or two :-)-O
and then get the biggest M1 13 inch you can then afford (BtO).

greetings, el

Hi Taedeus,

It would be great if you could make a minimal example and send it to the
list. For more information, see:
https://wiki.lyx.org/FAQ/MinimalExample

It'll probably take you more time to make a good minimal example than it
would for you to just keep doing a second compile, BUT it could help us
fix a bug somewhere in LyX.

"Random" error message

[Tadeus Ras]

Hello fellow LyXonauts!


First of two questions occupying me since a while:
In at least one of the files input into my thesis — with an input math macro 
file at the beginning — I incosistently get the following error message:

! Text line contains an invalid character.
l.19 ^^@^^@
^^@^^@^^@^^@^^@^^@^^@^^@^^@^^@^^@^^@^^@^^@^^@^^@^^@^^@^^@^^@^^@^^...
A funny symbol that I can't read has just been input.
Continue, and I'll forget that it ever happened.

„inconsistently“ in the sense that a second compilation try often succeeds 
without any changes on the document. This document also takes much longer for 
its 20 pages to compile than others of the same size. Might this be related? 
And if not: Is there any way (besides „commenting out“) to figure out what 
takes up all the time in that compilation process?


Thanks…

Can you create a minimal working example?

Here is the way to do it:
1. In Lyx (my version is 2.1.3 on Windows 7), select View|Messages Pane

2. make a small change in your file so the document will be re-processed

3. Click on View (the two eyes icon) or ctrl-R
You will see many messages appear.

4. Scroll down to the line containing

So far, it just silently puts a question mark or some other indication 
in the pdf but this is an important error that I need to correct. In 
small documents these are easy to spot but in large documents like a 
book with multiple child files these can be easy to miss.

I think Frederick's point was that LyX's error dialog does not select the

However, I cannot reproduce this. I made a small test file, and the ERT was

error message with figure wrap float

[Matthias Schmidt]

Hello!

After I inserted a figure wrap float in my document I got an error
message. When I insert an "normal" float figure, I don't get this
error message.

What do I have to do?



The message is:

{\begin {wrapfigure}{o}{0.5\columnwidth }\includegraphics [width=0.5\textwidth
\ETC.
! Paragraph ended before \text@command was complete.
 
   \par 
l.3084 }

I suspect you've forgotten a `}', causing me to apply this
control sequence to too much text. How can we recover?
My plan is to forget the whole thing and hope for the best.


! LaTeX Error: \caption outside float.

See the LaTeX manual or LaTeX Companion for explanation.
Type  H   for immediate help.
 ...  
  
l.3084 }

You're in trouble here.  Try typingto proceed.
If that doesn't work, type  X   to quit.


! LaTeX Error: \begin{document} ended by \end{wrapfigure}.

See the LaTeX manual or LaTeX Companion for explanation.
Type  H   for immediate help.
 ...  
  
l.3084 }

Your command was ignored.
Type  Ito replace it with another command,
orto continue without it.

! Extra \endgroup.
 \endgroup 
  
l.3084 }

Things are pretty mixed up, but I think the worst is over.

! Too many }'s.
\emph  ...1}\else \hmode@bgroup \text@command {#1}

l.3084 }

You've closed more groups than you opened.
Such booboos are generally harmless, so keep going.

It's hard to diagnose without seeing the document.  Make a copy of the document,
and try to chop out as much material as you can while preserving the error
message.  Also see if the error persists when you change the document class to
something simple like article.  If the error is still there, please post a
minimal document containing the error (preferably using a document class that
ships with LyX) to the list.  If chopping surrounding material does eliminate
the error, maybe the last thing you zapped will tell us something about the
source of the problem.

Yes.. it is installed already.
Actually I have never tried the 2.9 version. I did 2.7 and 2.8 but no
problems.
The alternative LyX installer found here(AltInstaller-Complete):
ftp://ftp.lyx.org/pub/lyx/bin/1.6.7
has MikTeX 2.8 that already tested and works.

However, perhaps you could try by typing a command

Hello every body,
I recently downloaded Lyx version 1.6 after installing MikTex. When I start Lyx 
and choose any template an error message is displayed. The title of the message 
is: Document class not available. The message body is:
 
The layout file requested by this document IEEEtran.layout, is not usable. This 
is probarly because a Latex class or style file required by it is not 
available. See the customization documentation for more information. Lyx will

Plz any body tell me what is the problem.
Thanks in advance.

It seems that you haven't had an open Internet connection whyn you installaed LyX. Therefore log in 
to Windows with administrator permissions, open an Internet connection, open LyX and use the menu 
Tools - Reconfigure. This will install automatically all LaTeX-packages supported or used by LyX.


As you are using IEEEtran, assure that you have LyX 1.6.7. Older LyX versions contain outdated 
IEEEtran support.

Re: "Document Class not Available" error message

Hi, Paul,

I followed the instructions here but can not work out. 
Could you please help me check out.

This is the text in the log file.


Everything in your log file looks fine -- the installer if finding LaTeX 
and most if not all document classes.  Does LyX start? Are you able to 
create new documents (basic article class)?  Can you open the help 
documents?


You're apparently using Windows, but which version (XP, Vista, 7)?

There have been some anecdotes (though none recently that I recall) 
about defective configuration files occurring in Windows and then 
sticking around even after reconfiguration.  You might try deleting your 
LyX user directory.  This is usually "C:\Documents and Settings\id>\Application Data\lyx16" on XP (not sure where it is on Vista).  If 
not, do Help > About LyX in LyX and look for the "User directory" 
(expand ~ to your Docs and Settings folder).  Delete the entire user 
directory and restart LyX.  Maybe that will help.  (If you have any 
customizations from a previous version, such as a modified bind file, 
you should copy those files someplace safe so that you can restore them 
once LyX is working.)

Module error message?

[Stefano Franchi]

Dear Lyxers,

after moving a few lines of latex code that frames comments in a grayed box 
from the preamble to its own module I get the following error each time the 
module is loaded: 

The module Comment-in-box requires a package that is
not available in your LaTeX installation. LaTeX output
may not be possible.


However the module works fine and the pdf it produces is correct and the two 
Latex packages the code uses are available in my installation. I suppose I 
made a mistake in the module itself. Can anyone tell me what I did wrong? I 
append the full module code below.


Thanks,

S.

Error Message From Lyx I Don't Understand

I am using Lyx 1.6.4 on Windows XP to write my master's thesis. I have

Conversion error message -- no PDF output

[Christian Liesen]

Hi,

I have a LyX document that compiled just fine three days ago (pdflatex), but
now I keep getting an error message with the description:

basic_filebuf::_M_convert_to_external conversion error
and no PDF output is produced. Only minor changes have been made since the
last printing. I can not locate the problem. I deleted bits of my document,
but no matter how much I remove, I keep getting the same error message. Any
ideas what else I could try?

I'm on LyX 1.6.4.1 on Mac OS X 10.5.8.

Many thanks,
-- Christian

[SOLVED] Conversion error message -- no PDF output

[Christian Liesen]

Hi,
following Richard's hint -- LaTeX export and then manually running latex --
I was able to see that all links to embedded objects were incomplete. No
idea what caused this, though ...

After a bit of experimenting, I moved my LyX file to the LyX working
directory, along with all source files for embedded objects (PDF, PNG and so
on), double checked they were properly linked and voila, the PDF output was
produced.

I'm still puzzled as to why a working LyX document would all of a sudden
refuse to compile. It was compiling alright three days ago, I only corrected
some typos, and now all the object links were broken. Weird.

Thanks, rh,

Does LaTeX export work? I'm guessing maybe not. And if not, it's a LyX

localization of LyX error message

[Wolfgang Engelmann]

Could somebody explain the following error message:

l.1349 ...cite {OCP95}{{305}{13.4.2}{figure.13.58}}

1349 is probably the line in the tex-file
OCP95 is the bib-key of my cited reference
I do not know what {305} indicates.
{13.4.2} is the subsection
and {figure.13.58}, well, one of my figures.

Does this mean, the error (citation OCP95) is between the subsection 13.4.2 
header and figure 13.58? And 305? Number of lines after the header?

l.1349 ...cite {OCP95}{{305}{13.4.2}{figure.13.58}}

1349 is probably the line in the tex-file
OCP95 is the bib-key of my cited reference
I do not know what {305} indicates.
{13.4.2} is the subsection
and {figure.13.58}, well, one of my figures.

Does this mean, the error (citation OCP95) is between the subsection 13.4.2 
header and figure 13.58? And 305? Number of lines after the header?

No pdflatex,  no error message. I also meet the issue. Two possible reasons:
1. UTF8, some words like  ff, fl
2. Directory of the lyx file. My OS is windows. If I put the lyx file on 
the desktop, I am sure to receive no result and no response. I guess 
that the pathon cannot recognize the directories such as /my document

Thanks a lot for your reply and the advice!

The footnote has long been deleted anyway; now I also changed all the
other lists within the document to standard format, and so got rid of
the lyxlist environment command. However, export still doesn't work...
But isn't it strange that Lyx doesn't even complain about any error or
so, but simply does not react to my export command?
Any more ideas?

I know these are all rookie questions and I'm extremely grateful that
you bother to answer them! (Of course I had browsed all forum archives
and FAQs on the planet for help before.)

Export to LaTeX and try compiling manually. Then you should get useful 
error messages.

LyX does not show error output of helper apps (except in the cosole) nor
does it check the return value. 

IMO, this is not only strange but a bug.

If you open lyx from a console/DOS-prompt/xterm window and have a look at
the output there, you might find a reason.

 Any more ideas?
