Re: In openSUSE 11.4, scrolling in LyX RC1 very slow

 Hi,
 
 I recently upgraded to openSUSE 11.4 (from 11.3). I installed LyX from one
 of the KDE unstable repo (the only ones have lyx 2.0), and the scrolling
 is not only very slow, but also it consumes huge CPU usage.
 I tried to compile LyX from the source, but it was slow as well. (Actually
 I did this first because I did not want to add unstable repo)
 
 In openSUSE 11.3 this did not happen. Any ideas where to look? Could it be
 related to QT?

I am the one who packaged LyX in that KDE:Unstable repo and am using LyX 
regularly, but am not experiencing your problem.

I have an nvidia card and using the nvidia proprietary drivers.

 Public release of LyX version 2.0.0
 ===
 
 We are proud to announce the public release of LyX 2.0.0.
 
 With this release, LyX celebrates 15 years of existence, and we start
 a new family of 2.x releases to acknowledge LyX's passing from a child
 to an adult. We hope you will celebrate this anniversary with us.
 
 LyX 2.0.0 is the culmination of two and half years of hard work. This
 release begins a new series of 2.0.x which will incrementally improve its
 stability as the time passes.
 
 An overview of the new features can be found here:
   http://wiki.lyx.org/LyX/NewInLyX20
 
 You can download LyX 2.0.0 from http://www.lyx.org/Download/ .
 
 We hope you will enjoy the result!
 
 The file RELEASE-NOTES lists some known issues and problems compared
 to the current stable releases (LyX 1.6.x). We strongly recommend that
 packagers of LyX on various platforms and distributions read this file.
 
 As with any major release, this one comes with lot of new features but
 also some bugs. If you think you have found a bug in LyX 2.0.0, either
 email the LyX developers' mailing list (lyx-devel at lists.lyx.org), or
 open a bug report at http://www.lyx.org/trac/wiki/BugTrackerHome .
 
 If you have trouble using LyX or have a question, consult the
 documentation that comes with LyX (under Help) and the LyX wiki, which you
 will find at http://wiki.lyx.org/ . You can also send email to the LyX
 users' list (lyx-users at lists.lyx.org).

 I did compile LyX as well as hunspell on my machine, as well as any other

 hunspell, just go to Tools/Preferences/Language/Spellchecker.

Maybe your hunspell is too recent? 1.3 is not found by lyx.

The files on openSUSE needed for spellchecking are: hunspell-devel,

Can you start lyx with a clean configuration (mv ~/.lyx ~/.lyx.bak) and

BTW: the default setting, which you have when you don't change anything

Hi Cor,
I am very grateful as you put me (almost) back on track.

I created a new user as advised.
Now I have:
/home/*olduser*/.config/Lyx/lyx.conf (12.0 KiB)
with Spellchecker not working
and
/home/*newuser*/.config/Lyx/lyx.conf (6.2 KiB)
with Spellchecker working well

- in *newuser* Spellchecker works out of the box as anticipated (tried
with a few new Lyx documents)
- as root I copied a complete folder with various LyX-Documents from
*olduser* into *newuser* (Read-only) and Spellchecker works well
- as root I can open the same LyX-Documents (Read-only) in *olduser* and
*newuser* with Spellchecker working equally well in both

But how can I convince Spellchecker to work in the olduser environment
as olduser?
I dare not touch the olduser's configuration file!

Can you, please, advise how to proceed?

Thanks and cheers,
Michael


Hi Michael,

I did not know about the existence of /home/user/.config/LyX. I have it 
also and it does not contain much that you can use to solve your 
problem. Spellcheck settings are saved in /home/user/.lyx/preferences 
Ihave there a SPELLCHECKER SECTION and a LANGUAGE SUPPORT SECTION, where 
spellcheck settings are stored. The system settings on an openSUSE 
system can be found in the file /usr/share/lyx/lyxrc.dist


Of course, lyx has a nice dialogue to change the settings, but maybe 
this can help you to locate the problem.


Hopefully this helps,

also and it does not contain much that you can use to solve your 
problem. Spellcheck settings are saved in /home/user/.lyx/preferences 
Ihave there a SPELLCHECKER SECTION and a LANGUAGE SUPPORT SECTION, where 
spellcheck settings are stored. The system settings on an openSUSE 
system can be found in the file /usr/share/lyx/lyxrc.dist


Of course, lyx has a nice dialogue to change the settings, but maybe 
this can help you to locate the problem.


Hopefully this helps,

I am the one who packaged LyX in that KDE:Unstable repo and am using LyX 
regularly, but am not experiencing your problem.

I have an nvidia card and using the nvidia proprietary drivers.

Maybe your hunspell is too recent? 1.3 is not found by lyx.

I had earlier versionlyx-1.6.9 installed via yast from repositories. This

These dependencies were satisfied and the compilation was successful.


You need the development packages of e. g. hunspell to configure your 
self-compiled LyX with included spell checker.
Do you have them installed on your machine?

The files on openSUSE needed for spellchecking are: hunspell-devel, 
enchant-devel and aspell-devel (only one is needed, but you may choose 
more).


The latest lyx (2.0.2 at the moment) is also in the repositories:

If you mean the "culmus-fonts" package in opensuse, this is not a latex

For support of Hebrew, you can install "texlive-collection-langhebrew".

If you use the opensuse packages, manual running texhash or something

Lyx Preferences Path is set to:

User interface language: English

I believe to have everything in place and configured.

Yet I am getting : "Spellchecker has no dictionaries"

openSUSE 13.2
Lyx 2.1.2
KDE 4.14.6

Everything is up to date.
I did report this before but did not get any response.



You're using the packages from openSUSE? It should then work out of the 
box. I use the same system and spelling check works.


Can you start lyx with a clean configuration (mv ~/.lyx ~/.lyx.bak) and 
see if it still happens? Then we know whether it's somewhere in your 
configuration or in the system.


BTW: the default setting, which you have when you don't change anything 
yoursel, in LyX on openSUSE for spelling dictionaries is 
/usr/share/myspell, but that directory has the same content as 
/usr/share/hunspell, so it shoulldn't really matter.

I don't exactly understand what you mean by "start Lyx with a clean

 From within a Super User Terminal I called
a) lyx
b) strace -f -e trace=file -o trace.txt lyx

In both cases a lyx file opened and spellchecker worked as expected. I
could first check the English part of the document and after changing
the Language in > Documents Settings to German the German text.

The same procedure executed from an ordinary console resulted in
'Spellchecker has no dictionaries' and/or '...no errors found'.

I am not sure what the conclusion is or more specifically, what is/went
possibly wrong with my current settings.
Hope very much you or another member of the list has an idea?!

Hi Cor,
I am very grateful as you put me (almost) back on track.

I created a new user as advised.
Now I have:
/home/*olduser*/.config/Lyx/lyx.conf (12.0 KiB)
with Spellchecker not working
and
/home/*newuser*/.config/Lyx/lyx.conf (6.2 KiB)
with Spellchecker working well

- in *newuser* Spellchecker works out of the box as anticipated (tried
with a few new Lyx documents)
- as root I copied a complete folder with various LyX-Documents from
*olduser* into *newuser* (Read-only) and Spellchecker works well
- as root I can open the same LyX-Documents (Read-only) in *olduser* and
*newuser* with Spellchecker working equally well in both

But how can I convince Spellchecker to work in the olduser environment
as olduser?
I dare not touch the olduser's configuration file!

Can you, please, advise how to proceed?

Thanks and cheers,
Michael

Dear list,

I'd like to use Hunspell as spellchecker in Lyx (2.1.4) but it seems
that it is not found (see screenshot attached).

Hunspell is definitely installed on my system (Opensuse 13.1). For
example, a

hunspell -D

on the command line prints the installed dictionaries. The log of the
output of

lyx -dbg any

contains the following line

table[57]:  tag: `\hunspelldir_path'  code:57

but I don't know if it's relevant. Also, I tried a reconfigure.

On another that I use and which is running Ubuntu, Hunspell works in Lyx.

Any thoughts on this problem?

Thanks,

An up-to-date version of lyx for openSUSE 13.1 can be found here:

That one is complied with hunspell and enchant support (but without aspell).

Dear Alessandro, dear Herbert,
thanks for your comments.
Among other attempts I already tried so called "unstable packages" of
KBibTex and ended up in a disaster.
I could not even restart Leap and was forced to make a new clean install.
So, please understand that I am more than reluctant to repeat what I've
done until a user turns up who succeeded in finding and installing a
workable version of KBibTex.
If either of you has openSUSE Leap 42.1 installed and successfully uses
such a workable version of KBibTex, please tell me which version it is
and where to find it.
Fortunately, I have openSUSE 13.2 still running on a second machine and
could revert to it when it comes to my linguistic writings.

These are the details of my openSUSE Leap 42.1 setup:
KDE, BTRFS for root, XFS for /home

Trying jabref to me would only be a second choice.

Thanks and cheers,
Michael Berger



Hi Michael,

In Leap 42.1 the number of "community repositories" that could be added 
in Yast > Repositories (or however that is translated) is limited to 
discourage adding additional repositories that can mess the system. 
Before the KDE:Extra repository could easily be added that way. Now you 
have to do this manually.


In Yast > Repositories add a new repository. Choose whatever name you 
like for it and add the following url:


http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/KDE:/Extra/openSUSE_Leap_42.1/

Then kbibtex is available and updates of it will automatically be installed.

Hope this helps. And maybe I or someone else will push this package into 
the distribution itself one day.


Hope this helps you and maybe others.
