Re: Problem with thesis template
Dear List,
Thanks for the comments by Liviu and Zan. Still asking: Is there
nobody onlist with experience with the Lyx 2.0 default thesis
template?
Liviu kindly asked for more details, so here we go: Replacing the text
of the default template and adding on the front page below the box
"coats of arms of university" a text in standard-format transfers that
text to the third page. It is not possible to add text that would stay
on the frontpage. The only text that does stay on the page is text
formatted as "publishers" but that comes in very large font size and
can hence not be diverted from its intended use to add some three line
statement that I am required to include in the bottom of my front
page.
I need some way to include in the bottom of the front page of the
default thesis template a text of three lines length in normal font
size.
Help would be very much appreciated. And thanks to Liviu and Zan again
for previous comments.
With best wishes,
Dirk

CV with no references but sectioned bibliography
Hi I am compiling my CV and use the cv_JMarc.layout and the cv.cls class ( http://wiki.lyx.org/Examples/CV). My problem is that I do not have any references in the text (\citet et al), and the document does not compile - I get an "Found unknown 'thebibliography' environment" error from the bibtopic package. Is there anything I can do, apart from putting a reference on an additional page in the pdf and cut it off with pdftk (that's what I'll be doing for now)? Cheers, Rainer -- Rainer M.

Goodbye message and the search for a new LyX Debian package maintainer
Hi all, I already switched my work focus away from things where LyX is involved (about half a year ago), but only recently settled for a new fulltime employment starting next week. So after about five years maintaining the LyX package in Debian together with Per this is kind of my goodbye message to all the marvelous people who helped me/us along the way.[+] It's been a real pleasure to work with all of the involved people. :) Since Per (the other maintainer of the Debian package) is also no longer a regular LyX user I'd like to take the opportunity for some advertisement: NOW would be the perfect moment to step up if you'd like to get involved in Debian and you'd like to maintain the LyX package for Debian! Currently the package is still in a good shape, most bugs are handled[*], the packaging has been polished a bit during the late 2.0.0rc cycle and I'm still around to help with any questions. I've to admit that getting started will be a bit hard if you've no prior experience in creating Debian packages and the usage of a version control system. For those more involved with the toolchain, we're currently using a git repository with pristine-tar and git-buildpackage. Patches are handled within the master branch with source format 3.0 quilt. The debian/rules file utilizes a debhelper 7 style with quite some overrides. You can find our todo list (more or less empty currently) and some helpful links on our Wiki page http://wiki.debian.org/PkgLyx If you've any questions feel free to mail the pkg-lyx-de...@lists.alioth.debian.org mailinglist. If you like to get involved you've to subscribe that one too. In that case a very good mailfilter (I use bogofilter just in case someone cares) is highly recommended due to the open nature of the list (it's also the official maintainer contact address). For all other bystanders: We will try to upload new upstream releases from time to time but real bughandling and forwarding will be and already is kind of an issue. It took me over two weeks to answer the latest one http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=631112 :( So thanks for all the fish and have a good time, Sven [+] Special kudos to Georg for helping out with so many Debian specific itches upstream. [*] As far as I remember we took the package over with about 90 unhandled bugs and achieved a minimal bug count of 20, currently it's about 30. -- And I don't know much, but I do know this: With a golden heart comes a rebel fist.

No menus in Lyx 2
How come I do not see the menus in Lyx 2 (RC3) under Ubuntu 11.04 (32 bits)? All the icons are there, but not the usual menus. EK

All the icons are there, but not the usual menus. > EK Hi Ehud, I had 2.0RC3 on Ubuntu 11.04, and the menus showed. But... The RC3 that came with Ubuntu had several other problems on my box, and the LyX-users people clued me in that RC3 was defective. I went onto the LyX website, downloaded source for 2.0.0, compiled it, and it worked perfectly. Because of all sorts of wierd dependencies, most about Qt4, as expected, you're going to require many tries to compile it, and because each compile leaves leftovers that can screw up the next compile, I figured my best bet was to make a compile script so I could do it again and again on a clean tree. Here's the script: #!/bin/bash rm -rf lyx-2.0.0 tar xJvf lyx-2.0.0.tar.xz cd lyx-2.0.0 ./configure --with-version-suffix=200 --enable-build-type=release -- with-qt4-dir=/usr/lib/qt4 Once I got the preceding to work, make was simply a half hour compile. I then ran src/lyx to make sure it was OK, and then did make install. Now here's the thing. At one point, after it just kept crying about Qt4 and some other dependencies, I just did a Hail Mary and installed almost every package having to do with Qt4. One of them must have done the trick, because it compiled. Ugly, but it worked. So in summary, my experience with LyX-2.0.0RC3 on Ubuntu 11.04 was different from yours in that I had menus, but probably just as negative. RC3 was junk and should be replaced on the principle of quality. I installed LyX-2.0.0 from source, and LyX is now doing every single thing my business needs it to do.

However, there's no doubt that you haven't received enough thanks and appreciation over the time you and everyone who works/ed on the Debian version of LyX. So please allow me to thank you now. I'm just a user, but use Lyx for just about everything to do with word processing and can only say I love it. Every morning I fire up my computer, I fire up LyX and marvel at its magic. I freely admit that if I had to pay for such a great program I couldn't afford it, and if I could afford it, would probably have been restricted by and stayed with a more expensive and in my opinion lesser quality program for the purpose. If I could write code or whatever is used to maintain a Debian package, and had time available, I would work on LyX because of the work it has done and the pleasure it has delivered to me. So from myself and I'm certain the tens of thousands who use Debian and LyX: Thank you for your work, time and dedication for helping to make it brilliant. Good luck with your next endeavours.

Lyx file format ?
Hi, I am wondering if it is conceivable to generate (with a script) Lyx files, that can be later opened in Lyx to perform final editing/touch-ups before generating my final book? Is their some documentation on the Lyx file format somewhere? Will the Lyx format be easier or harder to manage than dealing directly with Latex format? Thanks Steve

I use Ubuntu rather than Debian, but I owe all distro packagers a huge debt of gratitude. > > I freely admit that if I had to pay for such a great program I > couldn't afford it, and if I could afford it, would probably have > been restricted by and stayed with a more expensive and in my > opinion lesser quality program for the purpose. You're not kidding. I once began designing a LyX alternative because at the time I was mad at LyX. Based on VimOutliner, the alternative wouldn't have been as powerful as LyX, and would have presented me with substantial technical challenges. I could have accomplished the alternative, but there's NO WAY I could code up a LyX workalike. So a big ThankYou goes out to the LyX developers and the implementers who get it into distros.

I do it all the time, with my VimOutliner to LyX converter. Of course, I've never done it with LyX 2.0 native format, so the jury's still out on that.
