Re: Fwd: Undefined control sequence

[Dr Eberhard Lisse]

Jess,

this is not a minimal working example.

It has lots of stuff in the preamble, requires specific fonts and
packages to be installed.

Stepwise removal of all packages/stuff that doesn't cause the error to a
really skinned down document often helps...

Also exporting to LaTeX and running this sometimes helps.

Changing to Minimal and selecting other font (Dejavu instead of non

With the same modification also no problem on lyx 2.3.

Hello,

thanks for your quick reply and sorry for not changing the path in 
the document. I have now also changed the font now and have updated 
to 2.3.4.2 on OSX 10.14.6 – but still get those errors.


I hope it is helpful, what is written in the error-description:

\select@language {german}

The control sequence at the end of the top line

of your error message was never \def'ed. If you have

misspelled it (e.g., `\hobx'), type `I' and the correct

spelling (e.g., `I\hbox'). Otherwise just continue,

and I'll forget about whatever was undefined.


Thanks

Jess


Like Kornel, it compiles with no problems on my system (Linux Mint) 
after the changes he mentioned. From the error message, I wonder if 
babel cannot find a German language package. Which TeX system are you 
using? If TeXLive, do you have texlive-lang-german installed?

Dear Paul,

thanks! I still had TeXLive-2019 installed. After an update now things 
work fine. But nonetheless: waht is tex live-lang-german? In TeX Live 
Utility I could see I have TeX Live manual (German) installed. I 
suppose you mean this?

There are a number of TeXLive packages for language support, including 
texlive-lang-german. They might more properly be called bundles of 
smaller LaTeX packages. See, for instance, 
https://trac.macports.org/wiki/TeXLivePackages. You might already have 
some/most of the packages in texlive-lang-german, but installing it is 
an easy way to make sure you have them all (and thus, hopefully, all the 
ones you need).

Glad you're not partisan, Paul.

I've used several themes in presentations because I tire of one, and I want

Probably since you have a "native" LyX cross reference inserted which
causes LyX to load the package (see my description in the last post).

I still think the main problem is that you use TeX mode for labels and
references.

\figref is a command of the refstyle package. Make sure this is loaded.
Refstyle is loaded by LyX if:

1. You have "Use refstyle instead of prettyref ..." checked in Document >
Settings > Class Settings
2. You have actually inserted a cross reference whose format requires
refstyle

Why do you use TeX mode for the caption, label and figure? LyX provides
native support for these.

If you insist in using TeX mode, you need to manually load refstyle in the
preamble.

Hallo Zusammen,

 

ich hoffe Ihr könnt mir weiterhelfen.

 

Ich habe ein Problem mit den Bildunterschriften.

 

Ich habe folgenden Textvorspann:

 

\parindent0em

\parskip3pt

 

% Text in Kopfzeile aussen

\fancyhead[LE,RO]{\nouppercase{\leftmark} }

% Text in Kopfzeile innen

\fancyhead[RE,LO]{}

% Text in Fusszeile mittig

\usepackage{flafter}

 

\usepackage[justification=RaggedRight, singlelinecheck=false]{caption} 

\usepackage[section]{placeins}

 

\usepackage{colortbl}

 

\usepackage{placeins}

 

 

 

 

Leider habe ich das Problem, dass ich ein paar Stunden schreiben kann und
auch die PDF Datei immer korrekt erzeugt wird und auf einmal bekomme ich
ständig diese Fehlermeldung:

 



 

 

Ich kann mehrere Stunden am Stück arbeiten und bekomme jedes Mal die PDF
Datei ohne Fehler erzeugt.

 

Hier ist ein Beispiel für meine Bildunterschrift:

 

 

 

Hier wäre ein Beispiel für einen textbezug zu dem Bild:

 



 

In meinen Augen sollte das alles passen..

 

Könnt Ihr mir bitte helfen was hier das Problem ist in meinem Fall?

 

 

Sobald der Fehler einmal aufgetreten ist, muss ich das gesamte Dokument neu
aufbauen, dass dieser wieder weg geht.

 

 

Vorab Vielen Dank für Eure Hilfe.

 

Viele Grüße

No, it's a feature. LyX loads babel when needed.

The whole quote is now underlined with blue color, indicating that a

The rest of the document remains English (USA).

How can I fix this problem?

Are you able to reproduce this problem? If so, can you tell us how?

In any case, removing \use_default_options false will fix the problem for
you.

Can you please provide a minimal LyX file and the custom layout file you 
are using? Obviously, LyX shouldn't be outputting these empty float 
definitions.



If I compile by exporting to tex  and doing :   pdflatex
monografia-parcial18.tex  it will give the same errors that are reported
in Lyx.

If I remove this codes in the tex file and compile it , there won't be
any errors reported and any issues.

If I don't remove this trouble code and export to Tex  and do:  pdflatex
  .tex   and hit CR every time and do all others steps like
bibitex,  makeindex and forcing the compilation. It will build the

I believe that another benefit of Makefile is more control  and make

Re: Problems with Undefined control sequence - \newfloat \float \floatstyle

[caio rodrigues]

Hi Stefano,

The Makefile has solved my issues by just ignoring the error and forcing
the compilation by doing : make recompile. The Lyx version is : LyX 2.0.3 .

 The makefile  exports the lyx file to tex file and compiles by using:
   lyx -batch -f -e latex finalproject-report.lyx
and generates   finalproject-report.tex and compiles it.

There are a lot of errors in LaTex that aren't  important and annoying .  I
have installed all LaTex packages in Linux .

Here is the makefile code:  http://sprunge.us/WhPi

Going back to the error subject:
The  LyX gives three errors when I try to compile:

(1)

 \floatstyle

{}

The control sequence at the end of the top line

of your error message was never \def'ed. If you have

misspelled it (e.g., `\hobx'), type `I' and the correct

spelling (e.g., `I\hbox'). Otherwise just continue,

and I'll forget about whatever was undefined.


(2)

 \newfloat

{}{}{}

The control sequence at the end of the top line

of your error message was never \def'ed. If you have

misspelled it (e.g., `\hobx'), type `I' and the correct

spelling (e.g., `I\hbox'). Otherwise just continue,

and I'll forget about whatever was undefined.


(3)

 \floatname

{}{\protect\name}

The control sequence at the end of the top line

of your error message was never \def'ed. If you have

misspelled it (e.g., `\hobx'), type `I' and the correct

spelling (e.g., `I\hbox'). Otherwise just continue,

and I'll forget about whatever was undefined.

Hi Caio,

I am not really sure how switching to Latex export plus direct compilation
with a makefile solved your original issues. What happened to those errors
you got when compiling from within lyx? Did they magically disappear? That
may indicate that lyx is not finding all your Tex packages.

Thanks anyway. I have found the following solution.  It's better to use a

that debugging is more easier and the folder gets more clean after

The first line is inserted automatically as soon as you start a new table
float. But I have never seen the following 4 lines. Did LyX insert them in
the preamble? Have you tried inserting a table into  a new test file?

Problems with Undefined control sequence - \newfloat \float \floatstyle

[caio rodrigues]

I am using Lyx 2.0.5.1 on linux / Archlinux and using the class a derivate
of class report .  When I try to generate the PDF I get the errors :

and I'll forget about whatever was undefined.

Those errors always happens when I put a table  inside a table float.
Viewing the table float source code I get :

But when I export to tex-pdflatex and remove the lines


%% Because html converters don't know tabularnewline
\providecommand{\tabularnewline}{\\}
\floatstyle{}
\newfloat{}{}{}
\providecommand{\name}{}
\floatname{}{\protect\name}


and it compiles as expected.

Anyone has faced this kind of problem ? Or have any clues ?
Or is there any way to remove those commands by overriding them ?

I can confirm the bug. The problem is that, for some reason, certain
macros the child needs are not being written to the preamble for the
master, when those constructs are only present in the child. What's
weirder is that they DO appear in View>Source for the master, when you
check "Complete source". I'll try to fix this soon. A workaround would
be (a) to export the child as LaTeX, (b) open it in a text editor, (c)
find the declarations of the \textgreek and \lyxmathsym stuff in there,
and (d) manually copy that stuff to the preamble of the master. Ugly, I
know, but it should help.

Child document and "Undefined control sequence"

[Giacomo Z]

Dear all,

I am having a problem with a child document - I attached the minimal working
files to be copied in the same directory. The "master" file contains the
child document "Child" (as include). When I try to compile the PDF I get
several "Undefined control sequence" error. If I open only the child
document "Child", I can compile the PDF with no problem. I tried some
solutions I found on the list but with no success so far.

Some more information:
- AMS maths package seems to be active in both files
- Preamble is empty for both files

Any idea on how can I solve the problem?

Thanks a lot for your help.

If you are using BibTeX, it's possible that something is borked in your .bib 
file (such as a character with a funny encoding, or a malformed record). Does
the LaTeX log file give any indication what is wrong?

Re: Undefined control sequence

[Sølvi]

Hi

I have solved the problem and as someone suggested it was something with the
installation. I simply uninstalled and then reinstalled LyX 1.6.9 and now I
can compile the document without any problems (haven't checked the document
in detail, but it look OK). Strange how the set-up can change just by
turning on and off the computer. Someone also suggested to install the
latest version (2.0), but that gives me, if possible, even more errors so
I'll just stick to the 1.6.9 vs for now.

And while I'm at it (sorry for asking another question in the same mail),
can anyone explain why some of my cross references and references just turn
out as question marks in the compiled pdf document?

And thanks everyone for the help.

Re: Undefined control sequence

I know it is hard work, but I suspect it has nothing to do with the text
itself, but with latex installation. This is why I suggested doing not a
totally backtrace on your big file, but a controlled test case on a similar
document. Also, as Richard suggested, send the first error you find in the
log for help from the list.

Regards and good luck.

Can you post the full error log? What we really want is the first of
these errors.

Re: Undefined control sequence

[Julio Rojas]

Hi Solvi. You should start little by little. Try creating a new document
exactly set up as your problematic document. Add only one paragraph to test
it, and compile. If you have some problem, start removing one line at a
time, the packages included in the preamble. Lets see how that goes before
proceeding.

Regards.

Undefined control sequence

[Sølvi]

 Hi.

Hope someone can help me with this beacuse I'm getting desperate.

I use LYX version 1.6.9 on a XP-platform

I have a Masterdocument with several included files, I worked on this
document only a few weeks ago with no problems, but now I can't view it in
PDF anymore. When I press the "view PDF"-button i get a long list which says
"Undefined control sequence" and the following error message:


*\ltx@newglobalif *

* \ifGPT@pagecolor*

*The control sequence at the end of the top line*

*of your error message was never \def'ed. If you have*

*misspelled it (e.g., `\hobx'), type `I' and the correct*

*spelling (e.g., `I\hbox'). Otherwise just continue,*

*and I'll forget about whatever was undefined.*


I've also tried to PDF just the smaller, included douments seperatly but get
the same error. I've looked everywhere for a solution and can't figure out
what's wrong, considering the document was fine a few weeks ago. Hope anyone
can help me with this, and please keep in mind that I'm a novise to LYX and
need simple explanations :)

undefined control sequence with pdflatex but not with dvipdfm

[Matt Funk]

Hi,

this i probably only indirectly related to lyx, but i thought there are some 
experts on this list who might have an answer.

I downloaded the powerdot presentation (see here: http://www.ctan.org/tex-
archive/macros/latex/contrib/powerdot/lyx/)

i opened it up in lyx and used pdflatex on it, which then gave me many 
'undefined control sequence' errors.
When i did file->export-?pdf(dvipdfm) and then opened the resulting pdf file it 
worked right out of the box.

I was under the impression that pdflatex is equivalent to dvipdfm except for 
the intermediate dvi output.

I am using lyx: v1.6.5, 

pdflatex:

By the way, you should not need to use Ctrl-L to insert the command.  While in a

I suspect you have "Use AMS math package automatically" checked (and the same
for esint).  Uncheck the automatic load of AMS math and check "Use AMS math
package".  That made the difference for me.  The automatic versions mean LyX
will load the corresponding package if it detects the need for it.  Apparently
it's not catching that \dddot requires AMS math (and apparently the other
formulas in the document are not triggering it either).

If I was you, I would now, deinstall lyx and Miktex, would then restart the
computer and install first Miktex and then LyX.

Your problem might have had to do with hyperref. At least I got that warning as
well, when hyperref was loaded via the preamble, so after installing Lyx 1.6.1
you should take care of your document setting and load hyperref via the given
window.

Windows upgrade issues - Undefined control sequence

[Peter Bowyer]

Hi list,

I had LyX 1.5.6 installed along with MikTex 2.7 on Windows XP. Today I
decided to upgrade to LyX 1.6.1 and downloaded the installer:
LyX-1.6.1-1-Installer.exe

I uninstalled LyX 1.5 and then ran the installer. It detected my MikTex
installation and completed successfully... however as soon as I tried to
compile the initial welcome screen to DVI or PDF I got the following errors:

Undefined control sequence.
LaTex Error: Missing \begin{document}
Undefined control sequence.
LaTex Error: Missing \begin{document} 

I tried reconfiguring but that did not help.

Since then I've uninstalled LyX and MikTex and reinstalled both of them
numerous times, with no success. I have tried to use the "Download MikTex"
option in the LyX installer (in case this fixes things) but it fails with
the error: "Downloading MiKTeX failed. Would you like to try again?
(Redirection (302))"

Can anyone help? It would be good not to have to go back to 1.5.7!

Thanks,
Peter

Problem with Algorithm Floats: Undefined Control Sequence

[Ryan Cross]

Hello,
I'm having a weird problem with Algorithm Floats. I am using a master
document with several child documents (one for each chapter). The odd thing
is that when I compile/pdf the child document by itself, the algorithm
floats seem to work just fine. However, when I try to compile/pdf the master
document, I get an error: Undefined Control Sequence. In the details, it
basically tells me that the algorithm command isn't defined correctly.

I am using the 'report' class. Also using OSX 10.5 (leopard).

On a related note, when using a program listing (without any algorithms)
that seems to be fine. I am also trying ot understand the difference between
the program listing, the algorithm float, and the lyx-code format, since
they all seem to be similar to what I want.

Please help! =)

What exactly have you done? You haven't had LyX 1.5 installed before?
If you had LyX 1.5 installed before, have you used the update installer?

What do you mean by "upgrade the german language pack with the

"el" is for Greek and not German.

This sounds like a problem of the babel configuration.
Please try this:

- open a command console
- execute the command
  initexmf --dump
- restart LyX

Then it should work (this was a bug of MiKTeX). If not, please update your MiKTeX installation again 
using MiKTeX's update program.

Always rename a modification of article.cls to something else. (AFAIK,
this is a requirement of the LaTeX Project Public License.)
   
This will help to prevent confusion for both, computer programs and

There are three ways:

1. Rename the modified article.cls and create a LyX layout file for it
   (See Help>Customization).
   
2. Copy the modified part of the private article.cls to the document
   preamble.
   
3. Put the modifications in a LaTeX package file and include this in
   the document preamble with \usepackage.

Thanks for the reply.

I'm looking at the packaged tex file and it includes an article.cls  
file. I'm not familiar with LaTex tags but it seems that the  
article.cls file included in package declares the control sequences  
that I'm referring. Now the problem is, how can I make LyX use that  
cls file instead of the one included in the LaTex distribution? (I  
think LaTex uses the original article.cls and not the one that is  
included in the package. Both files, the imported tex file and the  
cls file are in the same folder).

Re: URGENT: Please help! -- Undefined control sequence

[Peter Kämpf]

Hi Alain,

I had the same problem with 1.5.4. Turned out I was using the wrong  
LaTeX implementation.  To solve the problem, I edited the document  
settings and reduced the options from "openany,liststotoc,xetex" to  
just "openany,liststotoc". I had used Xetex in the past, but now have  
GWTex, so taking out this option was no problem.


The credit for solving this has to go to Jürgen Spitzmüller.

Let me know if it helped!

Thx for answering!

  

It seems like you must be using the wrong document class. The
\conferenceinfo command isn't standard LaTeX but will be defined by
some
document class. Probably this setting got changed. So what do you have
under Doucument>Settings>Document Class?



Looking at the raw Latex file, I have:

   \typeout{Document Class 'sig-alternate' <7th. June '07>.  Modified by G.K.M. 
Tobin/Gerry Murray}

So, it looks like I am using the sig-alternate class.

Yet, when I go to Document > Settings > Document Class,  I see "article". If I click on the drop down list,  I don't see any sig-alternate document class. Yet, I have files called sig-alternate.cls and sig-alternat.layout in the same directory as my .lyx file. 


What should I do?

  

Yes, you're probably supposed to be using sig-alternate. Now BACKUP THE
LYX FILE in case anything goes badly wrong. OK. Open the LyX file in a
standard text editor. Near the top, you will see a line like this:
\textclass article
Change it to:
\textclass sig-alternate
Save and try to open the file with LyX. This should work.

It is possible to use "local layout files" with LyX---that's why
sig-alternate.layout is where it is---but at present it's not possible
to select such a file in the GUI. The local file stuff makes it possible
for someone to create a layout file, then send it to you with a LyX
file, and you don't have to put it into your personal LyX configuration
directory, which is where layout files normally go, so they can be used
by any file, rather than just by a single file. I think this is
different in 1.6, but I'm not sure.

Re: URGENT: Please help! -- Undefined control sequence

[Mathias Girel]

if you have the french version of lyx, the preamble text would be in
document/paramètres/préambule latex.
(or documents/settings/preamble in the english version). Unless you have
done a lot of ERT, the box should not be empty if you use specific packages.
I guess you can safely copy and paste

Looking at \textservicemark in the Holy Tome of LaTeX Symbols, I

Paul,

  That actually looks ugly. But, I've come up with the acceptable

  The Bitstream and other fonts do not have the SM glyph, but they do have
the TM glyph. Why is a mystery, and I'm not about to spend a lot of time
fixing the foundry's omissions in the typefaces I use. I think that the
\textregistered (the circled R) is also a missing glyph in these typefaces.

  Now on to learning how to incorporate PSTricks code into a LyX document so
the figure is produced in the text.

Paul,

  textcomp itself makes the substitution; at least, it appears to us CM
(san-serif) for the symbol. There is no space after the symbol, however.

  Exporting to pdflatex and running that didn't work. But, exporting to
plain latex, running it through once followed by dvips and ps2pdf produced a
readable document. The typeface difference is noticable to me, but perhaps
not to others.

Looks like the "error" message that you got in the first place was actually 
just a warning that textcomp was substituting another font (cmr, I think) in 
order to print the service mark.


  It apparently was trying to.


Try exporting your original doc to a LaTeX file and run latex (or
pdflatex) against it.  I did that on a small test doc, got your error
message, just hit enter to run through it, and the latex run finished and
gave me what looks like a correct DVI file.  Methinks perhaps LyX just
can't tell the difference between a warning and a fatal error.  (In
fairness, latex does ask for input at that point, so maybe it's latex that
doesn't distinguish warnings from errors.)


  I believe that latex halts on warnings to ensure they're seen and acted
upon. Fatal errors, I believe, cause the compiler to halt.

If that's too aggravating (and assuming you're ok with the service mark being 
in Computer Modern), you might hack the textcomp.sty package and delete the 
warning part from the definition of [EMAIL PROTECTED] (so that it just does the 
\bgroup ... \egroup stuff).


  This kludge will work, but what I'd rather do is learn how to add the
symbol to the Palatino typeface (if not to the others, too). Not that I'm
looking for a ton of extra work, but the missing symbol should be added
rather than using a work-around.

Many thanks,

Rich

Adding Symbol to Typeface (was: 'Why Does ERT Cause 'Undefined Control Sequence?')

[Rich Shepard]

  Testing reveals that most typefaces available here do not have the
textservicemark symbol. How difficult might it be to add the glyph to
Palatino (since that's my default typeface) using an existing glyph (e.g.,
Almost European) as a template or direct copy?

  Don't know about anyone else, but we need that symbol frequently so it
should be added to the available type faces.

  I interpreted the log's error message that the Palatino font does not have

Maybe your version is older, newer, ???


2004-03-13 18:19 textcomp.sty

  Perhaps it's related to the document coding? The text was plain, ASCII
text when imported. In the document settings I left the language choice as
English and activated the checkbox for Use language's default encoding.

  Should I specify a specific encoding? When I try UTF8 the error is that
the CJK style is not found; UTF8-plain produces another error. The .lyx file
now shows:

\language english
\inputencoding auto

That's the same as other docs I've written.

  What do you suggest I do next to find the problems source?

Why Does ERT Cause 'Undefined Control Sequence?'

[Rich Shepard]

  Every time the service name is in the text, it's followed by an ERT box
containing \textservicemark. For some reason, this generates an 'undefined
control sequence' error in LaTeX/TeX. Here's a sample from the log file:

LaTeX Font Info:Font shape `T1/ppl/bx/n' in size <14.4> not available
(Font)  Font shape `T1/ppl/b/n' tried instead on input line 75.
! Undefined control sequence.
l.88 PermitWatch\textservicemark
 is hosted on secure servers and accessible
The control sequence at the end of the top line
of your error message was never \def'ed. If you have
misspelled it (e.g., `\hobx'), type ' and the correct
spelling (e.g., \hbox'). Otherwise just continue,
and I'll forget about whatever was undefined.

  What did I do incorrectly?

Hello Ernesto,

Could you send a LyX file that shows the problem?

Concerning the packages that get added to the preamble, I have a few
remarks:

These packages are already used by LyX as needed. You should not need
to specify them.

  \usepackage{graphicx}
  \usepackage{amsmath}
  \usepackage{amssymb}
  \usepackage{babel}

This command is probably not useful, as amsmath provides the
equivalent \boldmath:
  \usepackage{bm}

These packages may be useful but maybe only in some cases. They should
probably be used in the preamble of the document.

  \usepackage{dcolumn}
  \usepackage{url}
  \NRCurl{url}
  \usepackage{array}

This is probably useful:

  \renewcommand{\topfraction}{.95}
  \renewcommand{\textfraction}{.05}
  \renewcommand{\floatpagefraction}{.95}
  \numberby {equation}{section}
  \setcounter{equation}{0}

These macros really look like something people _may_ want to use, but
that are not really required:

  \newcommand{\PreserveBackslash}[1]{\let\temp=\\#1\let\\=\temp}
  \let\PBS=\PreserveBackslash
  \let\p=\phantom
  \let\mc=\multicolumn
  \newcommand\T{\rule{0pt}{2.6ex}}
  \newcommand\B{\rule[-1.2ex]{0pt}{0pt}}


In general, I think nothing should be added to the preamble of the
layout file, but rather in the preamble of a template, so that people
can modify the code.

JMarc

Undefined control sequence. \[

[Ernesto Jardim]

Hi,
I'm using a document class nrc1 with the layout attach below and I'm 
getting this error when I run latex.

Undefined control sequence.

It's a bit odd to me because it's a standard latex command but I'm not a 
latex guru so it puzles me how to solve this.

Any help will be welcomed.

for latex \s is like a command, therefore you get an
error message. In LyX you can see it as a RED s, means
TeX command. I suppose you mean s_ and have a typo???

delete the s and write it again.

by the way, it looks a bit ugly when having uppercase
letters as indexes. try a \scriptscriptstyle (double
scripot is correct!) befor the G, looks nicer.

Problem with undefined control sequence

[Markus Mohr]

Hi!

I have a problem with creating a dvi-file. I've extracted the smallest
piece of text that produces the error. I'm sorry, but I can't see my
error. No manual additions were done. This is an excerpt from the
logfile:

! Undefined control sequence.
l.23 \centering \( v_{G}=\s
_{G}*108,4\frac{1}{s} \)
The control sequence at the end of the top line
of your error message was never \def'ed. If you have
misspelled it (e.g., `\hobx'), type `I' and the correct
spelling (e.g., `I\hbox'). Otherwise just continue,
and I'll forget about whatever was undefined.

thanks for your help
