LyX-1.6.1 boost problem on lenovoT61

[Hellmut Weber]

Hi,
I'm setting up my Lenovo T61 with
Intel(R) Core(TM)2 Duo CPU T9300  @ 2.50GHz
using gentoo Linux.

When trying to compile LyX-1.6.1 from the gentoo ebuild
I run into problems with boost-1.34.1-r2 stable.
I can merge boost-1.36.0 or boost-1.37.0, but in  these cases
merge of lyx-1.6.1.crashes.

Does anybody know what to do?

On an older version of my system I'm running lyx-1.6.1 without any problem.

TIA

Hellmut

 With LyX 1.5.6 the degree symbol was, for example:

 $sin30\textrm{\textdegree}$

 But with LyX 1.6.1 this code makes nothing in my dvi output, only sin30 =

It works OK here. Maybe a font problem?

 Exporting the LyX file to LaTeX code, I wondering 
 with this code included by LyX because that's no exists in my preamble:

 %% LyX specific LaTeX commands.
 \declarerobustcommand{\lyxmathsym}[1]{\ifmmode\begingroup\de...@ld{bold}
 \def\rmorbf##1{\ifx\m...@version\b@ld\textbf{##1}\else\textrm{##1}\fi}
 \mathchoice{\hbox{\rmorbf{#1}}}{\hbox{\rmorbf{#1}}}
 {\hbox{\smaller[2]\rmorbf{#1}}}{\hbox{\smaller[3]\rmorbf{#1}}}
 \endgroup\else#1\fi}

This is a fallback for Unicode characters that do not have a math definition.
(LyX 1.5.6 did silently drop these!)

What is the LaTeX code for your (non-working) example?

 And I suspect that this code is the problem, but I don't know how can I =
 suppress it. 

This definition will only be inserted if there is some math box with
non-math Unicode chars inside in the document. It will dissapear in a
minimal example.

Alternatively, try if deleting (or commenting) these lines and running
LaTeX by hand helps (i doubt it).

 Or what's is the code to obtain the degree symbol in LyX =
 1.6.1; I don't want the symbol: \lyxmathsym{=BA}. Thanks for your help.

I simply press the right key. Alternatively, you can switch to text mode
and insert \textdegree as ERT or use ^\circ in math mode.

Hello all.
I have searched for this for a long time, but could not find a satisfactory

I usually insert figures into tables (which reside inside figure floats).
The problem is that lyx automatically inserts white spaces above, below, to
the left and to the right of the figures.


Table cells have internal spacing so the text won't touch the edges. 
This can be tweaked  (or zeroed) with latex commands. I am not sure if 
you can adjust a single cell only, or if the whole table is affected.



Sometimes I wish to get rid of that behavior, and to remove or reduce the
white spaces.
I can sometimes do it by inserting negative spaces, but this is tedious
work.

In addition, sometimes I have a figure which has white background, and I
want to add a thin black line around it, but it also has to be tight. I
tried a single cell table or a box inside the main table.
Once again, I am faced with the white spaces plus the alignment of the table
sometimes get messed up.


I usually use a box with these settings:
Decoration: Simple rectangular frame
Inner Box: none
width: 1 [Width]

The spacing is tight, although not completely gone. Spacing is small 
enough for a frame around a small logo though.


As for alignment - that is an interesting topic. Help-embedded objects 
has a section on that. Almost anything can be done, but it is not always 
 easy.

Re: How to put an end to white spaces around figures

[Tal Kenig]

I was able to get some of it solved by putting the following in the preamble:
\setlength\fboxsep{0pt} \setlength\fboxrule{1pt} 
This fixed the box to be tight around the image and of 1 point thickness.
\setlength\tabcolsep{0pt}
This made the tables tight horizontally.
I was looking for a similar command for the row separation (tabrowsep) - but
my doc would not compile, so I assume that the row separation works
differently.
Does anyone know how to set table row separation? This would be of great
help.
Thanks, 
Tal.

Navigate Other Lists

[Frederick Noronha [फ़रेदरिक नोरो नया]]

I am a long-time (2-3 years) Lyx users, but just only recently ran
into the NAVIGATE  OTHER LISTS feature on this software, after
upgrading to 1.6.1

Just to say: I cannot tell you how useful this is, for updating the
index, correcting footnotes and whole lot of other tasks. Kudos to the
developers for creating such a useful feature.

Other features on one's dream-list:

* A kind of automated indexing: which lists all the occurances of one
word, and asks the editor whether s/he wants to include each entry.

* Better help files.

* More and better latex chapter-page templates, which offer neat layouts...

* Closer integration between layout on Lyx and typesetting (on
wordprocessor), so that when one file gets changed, the other gets
automatically updated.

* Easier installs on Windows, to help editors to work with authors seamlessly.

Thanks again! FN

This is very general. What do you have in mind in particular? I tried to describe as many things as 
possible and therefore create the special Math and EmbeddedObjects manual that you find in LyX's 
Help menu. What do you miss?



* More and better latex chapter-page templates, which offer neat layouts...


What do you mean? The possibilities depend on the document class you are using. The standard report 
class doesn't have all features, because it was designed to be the standard/consensus. When using a 
koma-script or the memoir class, everything I can think of is possible.



* Easier installs on Windows, to help editors to work with authors seamlessly.


What do you miss? I tried to make the Windows installation as easy as possible: You only have to 
click a few times OK and get everything you need including a LaTeX distribution, image converters, a 
BibTeX editor, spell checker,

Retaining old file structure when editing in new version?

[David Russell]

One of the reasons I'm going for LyX is the greater cross-compatbility
between my Windows desktop and Linux laptop. However the newest versions
available for each system are different - 1.6.1 on Windows and 1.4.3 on the
EeePC. Perhaps unsurprisingly, a file saved in 1.6.1 won't open in 1.4.3.

Is it possible for me to make version 1.6.1 save in a way which retains
compatibility with the older version?

Thanks

incorrect germanic umlaut display in lyx 1.6.1

[Jörg Müller-Barkei]

Hello,

I actually came across a weird bug in LyX 1.6.1.
I am working in Opensuse 11.1 with the actual new KDE 4.2.1 /Ot 4.5 rc1
release of Opensuse (of today!)
I'm a newbie to LaTeX and LyX and getting a little irritated.

Its as follows:
since today when I type a text in german I get these ( ÃÃÃ) characters
instead of these (üöä). BUt I get the correct characters when holding down
the CTRL-key while typing. I think this is rather inconvenient when typing
on a german keyboard configured for german (and all alanguage configurations
within LyX are correctly set to german)

I haven't changed anything in the LyX or LaTeX config the last days (as far
as I can remember) but didn't come acreoss this bug before.

Sorry, I feel this might be a rather dumb question, but what can I do to
change this

Can't see integrals, sigmas, etc.

[Ehud Kaplan]

I have installed Lyx 1.6.1 on a kubuntu 64 bit (Version 8.10).
It seems to work fine, and produce correct pdf output.  However, some 
thing are not shown in the equations (in the Lyx editor):

integrals, summation signs, etc.
Have I neglected to install anything?  I have used dpkg to install it, 
because the ubuntu repositories are behind the times.

convert a .sty to .layout

I'm just writing my master thesis using lyx. Really awesome. I would

Yes, there is, but it's a manual process. See chapter 5 of the

EeePC's OS is Linux so it should be possible to install the latest LyX on an

I have installed Lyx 1.6.1 on a kubuntu 64 bit (Version 8.10).
It seems to work fine, and produce correct pdf output.  However, some 
thing are not shown in the equations (in the Lyx editor):

integrals, summation signs, etc.
Have I neglected to install anything?  I have used dpkg to install it, 
because the ubuntu repositories are behind the times.

Thanks,

convert a .sty to .layout

[Raphael Schär]

Hi
I'm just writing my master thesis using lyx. Really awesome. I would 
though like to use a differnt documentclass file (a local one). The 
problem is, I can only use .layout. Is there a way to convert a .sty to 
.layout??


Thanks
Raphael

Yes, there is, but it's a manual process. See chapter 5 of the 
Customization manual.

This is of course correct.

Yes, save you file in LyX in the format of LyX 1.4.x via the Export menu.

Did you install latex-xft-fonts? 

It is generally a good idea to install all recommended packages (unless
you are sure that you do not need them).

LyX-1.6.1 boost problem on lenovoT61

[Hellmut Weber]

Hi,
I'm setting up my Lenovo T61 with
Intel(R) Core(TM)2 Duo CPU T9300  @ 2.50GHz
using gentoo Linux.

When trying to compile LyX-1.6.1 from the gentoo ebuild
I run into problems with boost-1.34.1-r2 stable.
I can merge boost-1.36.0 or boost-1.37.0, but in  these cases
merge of lyx-1.6.1.crashes.

Does anybody know what to do?

On an older version of my system I'm running lyx-1.6.1 without any problem.

TIA

Hellmut

It works OK here. Maybe a font problem?

This is a fallback for Unicode characters that do not have a math definition.
(LyX 1.5.6 did silently drop these!)

What is the LaTeX code for your (non-working) example?

This definition will only be inserted if there is some math box with
non-math Unicode chars inside in the document. It will dissapear in a
minimal example.

Alternatively, try if deleting (or commenting) these lines and running
LaTeX by hand helps (i doubt it).

I simply press the right key. Alternatively, you can switch to text mode
and insert \textdegree as ERT or use ^\circ in math mode.

Yes. In Document>Settings>Language set the Coding to "other" and select

Re: How to put an end to white spaces around figures

[Helge Hafting]

Tal Kenig wrote:

Hello all.
I have searched for this for a long time, but could not find a satisfactory
solution.
I usually insert figures into tables (which reside inside figure floats).
The problem is that lyx automatically inserts white spaces above, below, to
the left and to the right of the figures.


Table cells have internal spacing so the text won't touch the edges. 
This can be tweaked  (or zeroed) with latex commands. I am not sure if 
you can adjust a single cell only, or if the whole table is affected.



Sometimes I wish to get rid of that behavior, and to remove or reduce the
white spaces.
I can sometimes do it by inserting negative spaces, but this is tedious
work.

In addition, sometimes I have a figure which has white background, and I
want to add a thin black line around it, but it also has to be tight. I
tried a single cell table or a box inside the main table.
Once again, I am faced with the white spaces plus the alignment of the table
sometimes get messed up.


I usually use a box with these settings:
Decoration: Simple rectangular frame
Inner Box: none
width: 1 [Width]

The spacing is tight, although not completely gone. Spacing is small 
enough for a frame around a small logo though.


As for alignment - that is an interesting topic. Help->embedded objects 
has a section on that. Almost anything can be done, but it is not always 
 easy.

Re: How to put an end to white spaces around figures

[Tal Kenig]

I was able to get some of it solved by putting the following in the preamble:
\setlength\fboxsep{0pt} \setlength\fboxrule{1pt} 
This fixed the box to be tight around the image and of 1 point thickness.
\setlength\tabcolsep{0pt}
This made the tables tight horizontally.
I was looking for a similar command for the row separation (tabrowsep) - but
my doc would not compile, so I assume that the row separation works
differently.
Does anyone know how to set table row separation? This would be of great
help.
Thanks, 
Tal.

Navigate > Other Lists

[Frederick Noronha [फ़रेदरिक नोरो नया]]

I am a long-time (2-3 years) Lyx users, but just only recently ran
into the NAVIGATE > OTHER LISTS feature on this software, after
upgrading to 1.6.1

Just to say: I cannot tell you how useful this is, for updating the
index, correcting footnotes and whole lot of other tasks. Kudos to the
developers for creating such a useful feature.

Other features on one's dream-list:

* A kind of automated indexing: which lists all the occurances of one
word, and asks the editor whether s/he wants to include each entry.

* Better help files.

* More and better latex chapter-page templates, which offer neat layouts...

* Closer integration between layout on Lyx and typesetting (on
wordprocessor), so that when one file gets changed, the other gets
automatically updated.

* Easier installs on Windows, to help editors to work with authors seamlessly.

Thanks again! FN

This is very general. What do you have in mind in particular? I tried to describe as many things as 
possible and therefore create the special Math and EmbeddedObjects manual that you find in LyX's 
Help menu. What do you miss?



* More and better latex chapter-page templates, which offer neat layouts...


What do you mean? The possibilities depend on the document class you are using. The standard report 
class doesn't have all features, because it was designed to be the standard/consensus. When using a 
koma-script or the memoir class, everything I can think of is possible.



* Easier installs on Windows, to help editors to work with authors seamlessly.


What do you miss? I tried to make the Windows installation as easy as possible: You only have to 
click a few times OK and get everything you need including a LaTeX distribution, image converters, a 
BibTeX editor, spell checker,

Retaining old file structure when editing in new version?

[David Russell]

One of the reasons I'm going for LyX is the greater cross-compatbility
between my Windows desktop and Linux laptop. However the newest versions
available for each system are different - 1.6.1 on Windows and 1.4.3 on the
EeePC. Perhaps unsurprisingly, a file saved in 1.6.1 won't open in 1.4.3.

Is it possible for me to make version 1.6.1 save in a way which retains
compatibility with the older version?

Thanks

I found this in one of my files:

\newenvironment{ths_tbl}[0]{\medskip{} 
\begin{centering}\noindent\medskip{} 
\setlength{\tabcolsep}{4pt}\setlength{\extrarowheight}{2pt}\small}{\par\end{centering}}


which I put all of my tables into.

So \extrarowheight might be what you are after (?).

incorrect germanic umlaut display in lyx 1.6.1

[Jörg Müller-Barkei]

Hello,

I actually came across a weird bug in LyX 1.6.1.
I am working in Opensuse 11.1 with the actual new KDE 4.2.1 /Ot 4.5 rc1
release of Opensuse (of today!)
I'm a newbie to LaTeX and LyX and getting a little irritated.

Its as follows:
since today when I type a text in german I get these ( ÃÃÃ) characters
instead of these (üöä). BUt I get the correct characters when holding down
the CTRL-key while typing. I think this is rather inconvenient when typing
on a german keyboard configured for german (and all alanguage configurations
within LyX are correctly set to "german")

I haven't changed anything in the LyX or LaTeX config the last days (as far
as I can remember) but didn't come acreoss this bug before.

Sorry, I feel this might be a rather dumb question, but what can I do to
change this 

Thanks a lot for your help!
