Re: [announce] preview test release of LyX 1.6.0rc5 for Windows

[Murat Yildizoglu]

Thanks Uwe,

It works like a charm and I have installed the small version to be used with
TexLive2005.

I have a strange problem with RC5. I have a crash-test latex document of 150
pages with graphics and everything that I try to import in each new
candidate. RC3 is perfectly able to import it but RC5 is not. Just after the
beginning of the import process, it tells me that the lyx file is from an
older version and that relyx can notr convert it. The first time, I have
thought that this was due to the presence of an older import in the folder
but I get the message even if I erase the lyx file before beginning the
import. Very strange indeed... I hope that RC5 is not less stable than RC3
at the end ;-)

A question, I have installed RC5 along the RC3 installation, following Uwe's
suggestion. Can this be a source of problem?

Best regards,

Murat

Re: Lyx 1.5.3 not showing references from Jabref 2.3.1

[MikeM]

Hi,

I have a very similar problem to the original poster.  I am using Lyx 1.6 in
Windows XP and Jabref 2.4.1. I can insert citations into my lyx file as
normal and they seem fine.  I can also amend my .bib file in Jabref and the
new citations appear for insertion into lyx as normal. However, when trying
to view my document as a PDF or DVI or PS my citations appear as '?' in the
text and nothing appears below my References heading.

I have updated the MikTex install and searching for .bst files reveals a
folder c:\Program Files\Miktex2.7\bibtex\bst\ with a load of .bst files so I
don't think its down to missing class files.  I am using Natbib in Document
-> Settings and unsrtnat.bst (which I set by clicking on the Bibliography
insert), however I have tried various combinations of alternative settings
without any luck.

I have also checked the Jabref file for any incomplete or flagged references
which may be causing issues with the first latex run however there is
nothing obviously wrong there.

I have attached the .log file from my attempted conversions.

Can you guys offer any help?  I'm pulling my hair out and have a deadline on
Monday.

Many thanks 
Mike

Of course. To view your PDF use the corrsponding toolbar button, to export it, use the menu File-> 
Export->PDF(pdflatex).

When you need miore infos, have a look at the UserGuide.

Re: [announce] preview test release of LyX 1.6.0rc5 for Windows

[Murat Yildizoglu]

I have tried to make a clean install of RC5: I have uninstalled RC5; I have
renamed my ApplicationData/Lyx16 folder to Lyx16old and erased the lyx keys
from the registry HKCU and HKLM. I have then reinstalled RC5 using Uwe's
installer. I cannot start Lyx anymore. I get the following error:

I observe that the config folder Application Data/lyx16 is created but
remains empty after the installation and launch of RC5.

I will then restore RC3 using the saved config folder and registry keys.

If you have an idea about this problem, I would be happy to hear it.

- fix bug that the installer ignored for some cases when LyX should only

Hi Uwe,

The installer doesn't create the "lyx16" application data folder for all 
users anymore (unless asked to of course).
However, it still creates and fills the "Aspell" app data folder for all 
users, even if I ask to install for a single user.


A few annoying things when upgrading to RC5:

1- My figures (pdf) do not display in LyX anymore... I get "Error 
converting to loadable format" everywhere. Looks like the same issue as 
another user on the mailing-list.


2- reconfigure does not work (which probably explains point 1 above):
an error window pops-up saying:
"The system reconfiguration has failed.
Default Textclass is used but LyX may not be able to work properly.
Please reconfigure again if needed."
If launched in a console, I have this (between dashes):
--
D:\LyXSVN\lyx-devel\src\frontends\qt4\Menus.cpp(588): Menu warning: menu 
entries "Specific Manuals|p" and "Personnalisation|P" share the same 
shortcut.

'import site' failed; use -v for traceback
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "C:/Program Files/LyX 1.6.0rc5/bin/../Resources/configure.py", 
line 11, in 

import sys, os, re, shutil, glob
  File "C:\Program Files\LyX 1.6.0rc5\bin\lib\os.py", line 63, in 
import ntpath as path
  File "C:\Program Files\LyX 1.6.0rc5\bin\lib\ntpath.py", line 11, in 


import genericpath
ImportError: No module named genericpath
--
There is indeed no genericpath.py nowhere, and that explains why the 
reconfigure after installing is s fast ;-)

I could not find that file in RC4 after reinstalling it. I "made one"
by copying that page:
http://www.koders.com/python/fidB1801D52A7E500D99DFF977091F108F5D906B7F6.aspx?s=md5
into a text file that I called genericpath.py, but then it complained 
not to find "_abcoll" module. I am stuck there... I could not find that 
file on the net.


3- layout format error when loading my documents: I had to increase the 
format number.

I changed the lines
Format 7
to
Format 11
and they are now fine with RC5.

Best regards,

Olivier

Re: [announce] preview test release of LyX 1.6.0rc5 for Windows

[Murat Yildizoglu]

Just to complete my preceding message. I have been able to restore to RC3
without any problem.
During the test of RC5, I have also observed that LyxLauncher was remaining
open in the background and I had to kill it manually after a long wait. I do
not know if this can hel you to locate the problem.

Murat

I don't see anything obvious. The way to proceed is to export to LaTeX

bib file, and I'll do it here. Certainly, from this log, it's clear that 
you have an empty bbl file, which means either bibtex didn't get run for 
some reason or else it aborted with an error.

I can get reconfigure to work. But there is still no pdf image display

I'll try and update and report if I can get this to work.

Hi there,

I've splitted my document into seperate files. S.th. like

mergefile.lyx
cover.lyx
tableOfContents.lyx
chapter1.lyx
chapter2.lyx
bibliography.lyx

the mergefile itself only includes the four other files. So, if I create 
a PDF out of mergefile, everything looks finde, the numbering of the 
chapters is great.


BUT: Now I added a entry into the bibliography (->bibliography.lyx) and 
want to refer inside of chapter1 (->chapter1.lyx). But, of course, 
chapter1 isn't aware of the entries inside the bibliography.


How do I make chapter1 aware of those entries, without including the

There is indeed no genericpath.py nowhere, and that explains why the

I could not find that file in RC4 after reinstalling it. I "made one"

into a text file that I called genericpath.py, but then it complained 
not to find "_abcoll" module. I am stuck there... I could not find 
that file on the net.


Ok, I finally found this "_abcoll.py" file, and the also missing 
"abc.py" from:

http://www.sfr-fresh.com/unix/misc/Python-2.6.tgz/
download links are
http://www.sfr-fresh.com/unix/misc/Python-2.6.tgz:b/Python-2.6/Lib/abc.py

After copying those files and the genericpath.py in the bin\Lib folder, 
I can get reconfigure to work. But there is still no pdf image display 
on screen. My ImageMagick is

ImageMagick-6.4.1-0-Q16-windows-dll.exe

I'll try and update and report if I can get this to work.


So, updating to the latest ImageMagick does not solve the problem... but 
here is how I finally managed to solve it, and get LyX to display my pdf 
graphics fines on screen:

I ran lyx in debug mode:
"lyx -dbg" lists all options, and one says:
2097152 graphics  Graphics conversion and loading
so I ran "
lyx -dbg 2097152
and found in the long list of messages written, that the module 
functools was missing. I found one at

http://codespeak.net/pypy/dist/pypy/lib/functools.py
and after putting it with the others, it finally works :-)

Hi,

I had the same problem, and found that several python modules were missing.
For Imagemagick, what you need is to add functools.py, which you may 
find for example at

http://codespeak.net/pypy/dist/pypy/lib/functools.py
to the bin\Lib folder in you lyx installation (usually somewhere in in 
"C:\Program Files").
That's a quick and dirty fix. I think Uwe will provide soon a fixed 
installer because there are at least 3 other missing python files. 
Details are in my other messages to this thread (user mailing-list only,

Thanks.. so looks like pdftex and pdflatex are the same thing huh.. sorry for
the silly qn then.. reason I asked was that when I view DVI using TexShop it
shows "Pdftex" as the Typeset and it seems that the fonts are better (more solid
lines) in this view than in the PDF generated via any of the export options when
viewed using Acrobat. So I was trying to see if it was possible to obtain the
same quality in the PDF export from LyX..

Uwe, thanks for RC5.

Like Murat I cannot read earlier release files. I only have RC5 running on this

created in an earlier version and the lyx2lyx script failed to convert it.
New files are OK.

Thanks Uwe,

It works like a charm and I have installed the small version to be used with
TexLive2005.

I have a strange problem with RC5. I have a crash-test latex document of 150
pages with graphics and everything that I try to import in each new
candidate. RC3 is perfectly able to import it but RC5 is not. Just after the
beginning of the import process, it tells me that the lyx file is from an
older version and that relyx can notr convert it. The first time, I have
thought that this was due to the presence of an older import in the folder
but I get the message even if I erase the lyx file before beginning the
import. Very strange indeed... I hope that RC5 is not less stable than RC3
at the end ;-)

A question, I have installed RC5 along the RC3 installation, following Uwe's
suggestion. Can this be a source of problem?

Best regards,

Murat

LyX says that whenever the conversion process fails. It could fail for

I posted a solution to this problem on the wiki. This will be easier in 
1.6. That said, if you first open mergefile.lyx and then open the child 
documents using the "Edit" button in the Include File dialog, I think 
you'll be able to access your bibliography.

Displaymath at the bottom (LyX1.6RC5)

[Mukhtar Ullah]

Dear LyX users and developers,
It occurs to me that when I am entering display math at a point where the LyX
window has nothing to show below (at the bottom of your screen), leaving the
display-math takes me back to part before the display-math (instead of moving
forward). This problem does not occur if you have written the text to follow. It
is only when you have blank to follow.
Could you confirm this behaviour please?
Let me know if I have been unable to express the problem (I am not a native
english speaker).

Your reply suggests that I have been unable to explain properly.
When you start a new document, type "Hi there", and start display math, 
LyX can accomodate the new stuff you write on the screen. 
Try to type some more text until you are at the bottom of your screen
 so that you need to scroll in order to see down. Now do Ctrl-Shift-M for

epsilon and varepsilon

When I typed these symbols in the math mode, they look different in the LyX

However, in the PDF made using pdfLaTeX and in the DVI the symbols look

What can I do to make the pdfLaTeX distinguish between the two ?

Let me add to this that if you have your math toolbars at the bottom of
the screen, and if you insert or enter a math inset, the auto-appearing
math toolbars will block the math you wanted to edit. The screen is
moved up when you press any key, but it is annoying not to be able to

This should be delivered by the LaTeX distribution. It turned out that ChkTeX is available in

The reason is the font that you are using. Times doesn't include the \var*** 
characters.

In your file you use the encoding "UTF8" that is designed for Chinese, Korean, and Japanese. Either 
use the language default encoding or an encoding that fits to the language you are writing in.
I admit that the encoding names in LyX 1.5 are not self-explanatory. In the upcoming LyX 1.6.0 this 
is much better.

Nevertheless, Appendix A of the UserGuide of LyX 1.5.6 describes all encodings.

Is the vertical space between the paragraphs too big?

Do you use the "Separate paragraphs by space" GUI setting

Keith,

I'd suggest you upgrade to TexLive -- tetex is no longer maintained.  You may 
well find the packages you want are already included.  See:
http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Releases/FeatureTexLive

However, the basic installation for most CTAN packages is pretty simple:

1. Download the package -- usually the "You can get this entire directory 
bundled as .zip" near the top of the page listing the contents.

2. Unzip the downloaded file.

3. Follow the installation instructions in the README file.

4. Run texhash

5. From within LyX, do: Tools->Reconfigure. Restart LyX.

See section 5.1 in the LyX Help file Customization.

The installation instructions typically are something like this (from the 
calendar package):

INSTALLATION

The simplest way to install the tools in the package is to make a
subdirectory in the search path of your TeX, FTP all of the source files to
that directory, and run "latex allcal.ins".  You should then be able to run
the demonstration files.

This should be delivered by the LaTeX distribution. It turned out that 
ChkTeX is available in TeXLive but not MiKTeX. The MiKTeX maintainer 
reported me once that he had problems to compile it on Windows, but this 
was long ago. I would like when you contact the MiKTeX maintainer 
(Christian Schenk cs/at\miktex*org) and ask what he needs to be able to 
compile it. I'm sure he will add ChkTeX then to MiKTeX.


Why not bundle it in the installer if MiKTeX doesn't distribute it? I 
just managed to get it to work on Windows with MSVC 2008. There is 
already MS-DOS code included which can easily be upgraded to Windows. 
Maybe we can put Windows support in the official source?

Good. But your dictionary from the Aspell Windows site is probably 
outdated. I'd recommend you to download the latest one from 
http://wiki.lyx.org/Windows/Aspell6 .

Because this is no real solution. Everybody should benefit and not everybody build its own solution. 
ChkTeX is on CTAN that everybody can access it, it is not in MiKTeX either due to compilation 
problems or license issues. Please inform Christian Schenk and he will add it.

I think the landscape package handles this.

the packages around this seems to affect only page bodies, not margins, foot 
etc.
i would like to have something equivalent to typeset those docs separately in
portrait/landscape mode and then paste them rotated together via pdftk (plus 
minus
some page numbering)

Thank you Uwe,
I changed the font to default and encoding to utf8 and the problem was gone.

Thanks again,

How to insert a logo into beamer's sidebar?

[Dr. Wang Yongqiao]

How to insert a logo into beamer's sidebar?

I put the following code into the preamble, but it doesn't work.

\pgfdeclareimage[interpolate=true,width=1.4cm,height=1.4cm]{mylogo}{logo}
\setbeamertemplate{sidebar left} {
\pgfuseimage{mylogo}
..
}

Many thanks!
