lyx 2rc1 prefs2prefs

2011-03-10 Thread Evan Mason
Hi, I want to report a problem with 2rc1.  I have made a trouble-free
installation of the source tarball on Mandriva linux 2010.0.

[emason@acacia .lyx]$ uname -a
Linux acacia.cmima.csic.es 2.6.31.14-desktop-1mnb #1 SMP Wed Nov 24 10:42:07 EST
2010 x86_64 Intel(R) Core(TM) i7 CPU 920  @ 2.67GHz GNU/Linux


But when I try to start lyx I get the following:

[emason@acacia .lyx]$ Traceback (most recent call last):
  File /usr/local/share/lyx/scripts/prefs2prefs.py, line 192, in module

LyXRC.cpp(395): Unable to convert /home/emason/.lyx/preferences to format 1

preferences.
Please check your installation.


I had a previous lyx (1.6.8) installation, which I removed using make clean.

Grateful for any suggestions,

The script was expecting to found a line starting with
\language_use_babel

and found none. If this is the normal procedure the idea is to test for it.

Thank you for the report. :-)

The line is:

\language_use_babel false

I had switched off babel in my previous lyx installation (1.6.8) in order to use
the agutext document class. I guess I can try changing it to true in
'preference' and see what happens.

No need to change it, your use case is reasonable.

I suspect that if you remove the quotes () around false the script will work. 
Or at least it will work past that point, more correctly. ;-)
