 At the moment I have downloaded the unx.tar.gz package, which is 
 waiting to be unpacked and further manipulated.

 I am using wheezy, not squeeze (the testing distribution rather than 
 the stable), but texlive has always been trivial to install, and is a 
 big improvement over the previous version of tex that came with debian 
 (whose name I forgot).

The old tetex packages are long gone, but even Debian/unstable is still at
TeXLive 2009! If you want to work with LuaTeX or the unicode-math package,
updating the TeXLive distro is a must.

I would put texlive 2011 under /usr/local/...

I don't know whether some paths still need adjustment or the common
preference of /usr/local/... over /usr/... will suffice.

If space is an issue, a dummy package could be used to fullfill
requirements of LyX etc. and all Debian texlive packages removed.

Re: Unable to install MikTex with Lyx 2.0

[Christian Wilhelmsen]

I guess I am experiencing some of this problems because I work on a network
station. Even though I have administrator rights,
I just can not get this to work.

If the LyX installer just could have downloaded MikTex like it did before I
think it would have worked, since 1.6 worked flawlessly on the same (school)
network.

pdflatex never finishes (LyX 2.0.1)

[Matthias Hunstig]

Hello everybody,

today, I installed LyX 2.0.1 using Uwe's installer 
(http://developer.berlios.de/project/showfiles.php?group_id=5117release_id=18767)
 over my somewhat broken 2.0 installation 
(http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.editors.lyx.general/70495/focus=70618, main 
cause seems to be a problem with network drives and/or limited rights users in 
WinXP) in the hope that it might fix something.

Unfortunately, things got worse instead. Pdflatex now runs infinitely long (not 
proven, but at least very long, i. e. over one hour for a one page document) in 
the background. Tex files are created in the temporary folder, but no pdf is 
created. Any idea why this might be and how it could be solved?

To be honest, I am quite frustrated with LyX now. I love it when it works, but 
in the last weeks I spent more time fixing problems than actually writing in 
LyX. I just stumpled across Portable Lyx 2.0 
(http://portable-lyx.impossible-exil.info/). Maybe this is a solution for me 
and other people struggeling with installation problems.

You should not need to define a converter, LyX supports ssconvert
which usually comes with gnumeric.

Is the ssconvert program in your PATH? If LyX cannot find ssconvert,
then the conversion from gnumeric to latex won't work. Because ssconvert
does that job.

Maybe you have installed gnumeric without ssconvert?

Or you could try Cygwin (on Windows), or installing a Linux distro

a hassle than getting an open-source thingy working on Windows. If you
install in a VMWare you need only very little knowledge about Linux.

Doxygen generated pages included in LyX document

[Manveru]

Hi LyXers,

Has anyone ever successfully embed parts of Doxygen generated
documentation into LyX documents (Appendix in my case)?

I would like to have couple pages of the documentation be presented as
appendixes in my thesis, however single latex file included in LyX
want work due to Lonely \item errors, and I cannot include all
refman.tex as it is full documents with all headers.

Manual striping of them is not a case - it is far better not include
anything. This is because at any time Doxygen would rerun to generate
new version of reference documentation. It would be probably nice to
have such feature in Doxygen itself to generate stripped .tex for
including in other document. However such requirement has to be
somehow defined - what should be present in that file, and what not.
Maybe some LyX modules could be used to feed package dependencies.

Any advices? Any solutions?

That package does not include the file zlib.h:

You need zlib-dev:
http://packages.debian.org/squeeze/zlib1g-dev
http://packages.debian.org/squeeze/amd64/zlib1g-dev/filelist
which includes the development support files.

Base packages, like zlib1g, include only the files need to *use* the 
library. So to run LyX, you only need zlib1g, which LyX uses to zip and 
unzip things. The *-dev packages, on the other hand, include what you 
need to link against the library, that is, what you need to *compile* 
programs that use that library. So, to compile LyX, you need zlib1g-dev.


The same goes for the X packages and Qt packages. E.g., as well as 
libqt4, you need libqt4-dev.

I considered this, but I will get different formatting between
included content and my work. Additionally, I will get empty page
before first page of documentation would be included. Next, problem is
tweaking Doxygen LaTeX code to remove such things as title page, etc.

I made some process on including Doxygen into my document, however it
still requires manual corrections of the refman.tex file. General
result is far from being satisfactory. I am thinking on dropping this
idea.

The usual reason is a Unicode character in your BibTeX file on which the
LyX parser is choking. It'll typically be in the entry following the
last one you see. Could be a dash, quote, etc, often pasted from the
Internet.

think you might be discarding this a little quickly. I found some PDF 
pages example that you find online. It's seems it would fit.


Use the same document class, fonts, margins, etc. I would imagine that 
you can supply your own preamble to Doxygen, which would handle all of 
that. Try copying the preamble code generated by LyX.


To remove headers and footers, you could do preamble code as well, which 
is just as easy as above, or apply a trim on the inserted PDF pages. You 
can set a pagecommand to overlay a \pagestyle{} command on top of the 
included PDF pages, thus keeping your headers, footers and page numbers 
running.



Additionally, I will get empty page
before first page of documentation would be included. Next, problem is
tweaking Doxygen LaTeX code to remove such things as title page, etc.



You're stuck with starting the Docu on a new page, is that what you 
mean? Formatting the first included page with a Chapter title is an 
issue. Here I don't see another way then editing of your external .tex 
file. Hopefully the amount of editing is sufficiently limited.

Re: Available Citations: using Bibtex

[Hal Kierstead]

Many thanks Richard.  You were exactly right. It was because of using a unicode 
accent on my mac instead of   \' .  I would have never guessed this.  

Is it a bug?  I only started using unicode symbols after somebody on here 
recommended it.

Thanks again,

 The usual reason is a Unicode character in your BibTeX file on which the
 LyX parser is choking. It'll typically be in the entry following the
 last one you see. Could be a dash, quote, etc, often pasted from the
 Internet.

Re: pdflatex never finishes (LyX 2.0.1)

[Paul Rubin]

It would be a good idea to export a file to LaTeX (pdflatex), then run pdflatex
against it in a DOS window.  That might help pin down whether there are problems
with your LaTeX (MiKTeX?) distribution.

It's kind of a bug, yes, but is also kind of inevitable. LyX will handle
Unicode BibTeX files properly, but only if the encoding of the document
is set to the same as the encoding of the BibTeX file. I.e., LyX assumes
that the encodings of the two files are the same, because that actually
needs to be the case for processing purposes. There are newer
processors, such as biber, that will do Unicode, and the newer BibLaTeX
processor will do this, but for the standard LaTeX + BibTeX combination,
you really need to use pure ASCII, because that is all BibTeX supports.
You can sometimes get away with a bit of Unicode in a BibTeX file,
actually, but it's just sheer luck when it works.

Ideally, LyX would detect the encoding of the file and re-write it as
needed. But this is impossible to do reliably, in principle, and it is
difficult to do with much reliability in practice.

See: http://www.lyx.org/trac/ticket/6223.

Is zlib.h present?


yes, as zlib1g, and it says:
compression library - runtime
zlib is a library implementing the deflate compression method found
in gzip and PKZIP.  This package includes the shared library.


That package does not include the file zlib.h:
http://packages.debian.org/squeeze/amd64/zlib1g/filelist
You need zlib-dev:
http://packages.debian.org/squeeze/zlib1g-dev
http://packages.debian.org/squeeze/amd64/zlib1g-dev/filelist
which includes the development support files.

Base packages, like zlib1g, include only the files need to *use* the  
library. So to run LyX, you only need zlib1g, which LyX uses to zip  
and unzip things. The *-dev packages, on the other hand, include  
what you need to link against the library, that is, what you need  
to *compile* programs that use that library. So, to compile LyX, you  
need zlib1g-dev.


The same goes for the X packages and Qt packages. E.g., as well as  
libqt4, you need libqt4-dev.

 I am using wheezy, not squeeze (the testing distribution rather than

The old tetex packages are long gone, but even Debian/unstable is still at
TeXLive 2009! If you want to work with LuaTeX or the unicode-math package,
updating the TeXLive distro is a must.

I would put texlive 2011 under /usr/local/...

I don't know whether some paths still need adjustment or the common
preference of /usr/local/... over /usr/... will suffice.

If space is an issue, a dummy package could be used to fullfill
requirements of LyX etc. and all Debian texlive packages removed.

pdflatex never finishes (LyX 2.0.1)

Hello everybody,

today, I installed LyX 2.0.1 using Uwe's installer

 over my somewhat broken 2.0 installation 
(http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.editors.lyx.general/70495/focus=70618, main 
cause seems to be a problem with network drives and/or limited rights users in 
WinXP) in the hope that it might fix something.

Unfortunately, things got worse instead. Pdflatex now runs infinitely long (not 
proven, but at least very long, i. e. over one hour for a one page document) in 
the background. Tex files are created in the temporary folder, but no pdf is 
created. Any idea why this might be and how it could be solved?

To be honest, I am quite frustrated with LyX now. I love it when it works, but 
in the last weeks I spent more time fixing problems than actually writing in 
LyX. I just stumpled across Portable Lyx 2.0 
(http://portable-lyx.impossible-exil.info/). Maybe this is a solution for me

You should not need to define a converter, LyX supports ssconvert

Is the ssconvert program in your PATH? If LyX cannot find ssconvert,
then the conversion from gnumeric to latex won't work. Because ssconvert

Doxygen generated pages included in LyX document

[Manveru]

Hi LyXers,

Has anyone ever successfully embed parts of Doxygen generated
documentation into LyX documents (Appendix in my case)?

I would like to have couple pages of the documentation be presented as
appendixes in my thesis, however single latex file included in LyX
want work due to Lonely \item errors, and I cannot include all
refman.tex as it is full documents with all headers.

Manual striping of them is not a case - it is far better not include
anything. This is because at any time Doxygen would rerun to generate
new version of reference documentation. It would be probably nice to
have such feature in Doxygen itself to generate stripped .tex for
including in other document. However such requirement has to be
somehow defined - what should be present in that file, and what not.
Maybe some LyX modules could be used to feed package dependencies.

Any advices? Any solutions?

yes, as zlib1g, and it says:

That package does not include the file zlib.h:
http://packages.debian.org/squeeze/amd64/zlib1g/filelist
You need zlib-dev:
http://packages.debian.org/squeeze/zlib1g-dev
http://packages.debian.org/squeeze/amd64/zlib1g-dev/filelist
which includes the development support files.

Base packages, like zlib1g, include only the files need to *use* the 
library. So to run LyX, you only need zlib1g, which LyX uses to zip and 
unzip things. The *-dev packages, on the other hand, include what you 
need to link against the library, that is, what you need to *compile* 
programs that use that library. So, to compile LyX, you need zlib1g-dev.


The same goes for the X packages and Qt packages. E.g., as well as 
libqt4, you need libqt4-dev.

The usual reason is a Unicode character in your BibTeX file on which the

OK, I must admit I never made such an operation. So I'm not sure, but I 
think you might be discarding this a little quickly. I found some PDF 
pages example that you find online. It's seems it would fit.


Use the same document class, fonts, margins, etc. I would imagine that 
you can supply your own preamble to Doxygen, which would handle all of 
that. Try copying the preamble code generated by LyX.


To remove headers and footers, you could do preamble code as well, which 
is just as easy as above, or apply a trim on the inserted PDF pages. You 
can set a pagecommand to overlay a \pagestyle{} command on top of the 
included PDF pages, thus keeping your headers, footers and page numbers 
running.



Additionally, I will get empty page
before first page of documentation would be included. Next, problem is
tweaking Doxygen LaTeX code to remove such things as title page, etc.



You're stuck with starting the Docu on a new page, is that what you 
mean? Formatting the first included page with a Chapter title is an 
issue. Here I don't see another way then editing of your external .tex 
file. Hopefully the amount of editing is sufficiently limited.

It's kind of a bug, yes, but is also kind of inevitable. LyX will handle
Unicode BibTeX files properly, but only if the encoding of the document
is set to the same as the encoding of the BibTeX file. I.e., LyX assumes
that the encodings of the two files are the same, because that actually
needs to be the case for processing purposes. There are newer
processors, such as biber, that will do Unicode, and the newer BibLaTeX
processor will do this, but for the standard LaTeX + BibTeX combination,
you really need to use pure ASCII, because that is all BibTeX supports.
You can sometimes get away with a bit of Unicode in a BibTeX file,
actually, but it's just sheer luck when it works.

Ideally, LyX would detect the encoding of the file and re-write it as
needed. But this is impossible to do reliably, in principle, and it is
difficult to do with much reliability in practice.

See: http://www.lyx.org/trac/ticket/6223.

The old tetex packages are long gone, but even Debian/unstable is still at
TeXLive 2009! If you want to work with LuaTeX or the unicode-math package,
updating the TeXLive distro is a must.

I would put texlive 2011 under /usr/local/...

I don't know whether some paths still need adjustment or the common
preference of /usr/local/... over /usr/... will suffice.

If space is an issue, a "dummy package" could be used to fullfill
requirements of LyX etc. and all Debian texlive packages removed.

Re: Unable to install MikTex with Lyx 2.0

If the LyX installer just could have downloaded MikTex like it did before I

I can hardly understand German, but apt often complains when some

pdflatex never finishes (LyX 2.0.1)

[Matthias Hunstig]

Hello everybody,

today, I installed LyX 2.0.1 using Uwe's installer 
(http://developer.berlios.de/project/showfiles.php?group_id=5117_id=18767)
 over my somewhat broken 2.0 installation 
(http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.editors.lyx.general/70495/focus=70618, main 
cause seems to be a problem with network drives and/or limited rights users in 
WinXP) in the hope that it might fix something.

Unfortunately, things got worse instead. Pdflatex now runs infinitely long (not 
proven, but at least very long, i. e. over one hour for a one page document) in 
the background. Tex files are created in the temporary folder, but no pdf is 
created. Any idea why this might be and how it could be solved?

To be honest, I am quite frustrated with LyX now. I love it when it works, but 
in the last weeks I spent more time fixing problems than actually writing in 
LyX. I just stumpled across Portable Lyx 2.0 
(http://portable-lyx.impossible-exil.info/). Maybe this is a solution for me 
and other people struggeling with installation problems.

Regards

Matthias

I have installed gnumeric on my computer.


You should not need to define a converter, LyX supports "ssconvert"
which usually comes with gnumeric.

Is the ssconvert program in your PATH? If LyX cannot find ssconvert,
then the conversion from gnumeric to latex won't work. Because ssconvert
does that job.

Maybe you have installed gnumeric without ssconvert?

Or you could try Cygwin (on Windows), or installing a Linux distro
such as Ubuntu in a Virtual Machine such as VMWare. This worked pretty
fine for me when I needed to use Windows, and sometimes it is less of
a hassle than getting an open-source thingy working on Windows. If you
install in a VMWare you need only very little knowledge about Linux.

I cannot help with your actual problem. Sorry

Doxygen generated pages included in LyX document

[Manveru]

Hi LyXers,

Has anyone ever successfully embed parts of Doxygen generated
documentation into LyX documents (Appendix in my case)?

I would like to have couple pages of the documentation be presented as
appendixes in my thesis, however single latex file included in LyX
want work due to "Lonely \item" errors, and I cannot include all
refman.tex as it is full documents with all headers.

Manual striping of them is not a case - it is far better not include
anything. This is because at any time Doxygen would rerun to generate
new version of reference documentation. It would be probably nice to
have such feature in Doxygen itself to generate stripped .tex for
including in other document. However such requirement has to be
somehow defined - what should be present in that file, and what not.
Maybe some LyX modules could be used to feed package dependencies.

Any advices? Any solutions?

yes, as zlib1g, and it says:

zlib is a library implementing the deflate compression method found

That package does not include the file zlib.h:

You need zlib-dev:
http://packages.debian.org/squeeze/zlib1g-dev
http://packages.debian.org/squeeze/amd64/zlib1g-dev/filelist
which "includes the development support files".

Base packages, like zlib1g, include only the files need to *use* the 
library. So to run LyX, you only need zlib1g, which LyX uses to zip and 
unzip things. The *-dev packages, on the other hand, include what you 
need to "link against" the library, that is, what you need to *compile* 
programs that use that library. So, to compile LyX, you need zlib1g-dev.


The same goes for the X packages and Qt packages. E.g., as well as 
libqt4, you need libqt4-dev.

I considered this, but I will get different formatting between
included content and my work. Additionally, I will get empty page
before first page of documentation would be included. Next, problem is
tweaking Doxygen LaTeX code to remove such things as title page, etc.

I made some process on including Doxygen into my document, however it
still requires manual corrections of the refman.tex file. General
result is far from being satisfactory. I am thinking on dropping this
idea.

The usual reason is a Unicode character in your BibTeX file on which the
LyX parser is choking. It'll typically be in the entry following the
last one you see. Could be a dash, quote, etc, often pasted from the
Internet.

OK, I must admit I never made such an operation. So I'm not sure, but I 
think you might be discarding this a little quickly. I found some PDF 
pages example that you find online. It's seems it would fit.


Use the same document class, fonts, margins, etc. I would imagine that 
you can supply your own preamble to Doxygen, which would handle all of 
that. Try copying the preamble code generated by LyX.


To remove headers and footers, you could do preamble code as well, which 
is just as easy as above, or apply a trim on the inserted PDF pages. You 
can set a pagecommand to overlay a \pagestyle{} command on top of the 
included PDF pages, thus keeping your headers, footers and page numbers 
running.



Additionally, I will get empty page
before first page of documentation would be included. Next, problem is
tweaking Doxygen LaTeX code to remove such things as title page, etc.



You're stuck with starting the Docu on a new page, is that what you 
mean? Formatting the first included page with a Chapter title is an 
issue. Here I don't see another way then editing of your external .tex 
file. Hopefully the amount of editing is sufficiently limited.

Re: Available Citations: using Bibtex

[Hal Kierstead]

Many thanks Richard.  You were exactly right. It was because of using a unicode 
accent on my mac instead of  " \' ".  I would have never guessed this.  

Is it a bug?  I only started using unicode symbols after somebody on here 
recommended it.

Thanks again,

Hal

Re: pdflatex never finishes (LyX 2.0.1)

It would be a good idea to export a file to LaTeX (pdflatex), then run pdflatex
against it in a DOS window.  That might help pin down whether there are problems
with your LaTeX (MiKTeX?) distribution.

You need an ampersand (@) immediately before the braces:

\xymatrix {B \ar@{-->}[r] & R}

See section 3.4.1 of the XY-pic manual (in the Help menu).

It's kind of a bug, yes, but is also kind of inevitable. LyX will handle
Unicode BibTeX files properly, but only if the encoding of the document
is set to the same as the encoding of the BibTeX file. I.e., LyX assumes
that the encodings of the two files are the same, because that actually
needs to be the case for processing purposes. There are newer
processors, such as biber, that will do Unicode, and the newer BibLaTeX
processor will do this, but for the standard LaTeX + BibTeX combination,
you really need to use pure ASCII, because that is all BibTeX supports.
You can sometimes get away with a bit of Unicode in a BibTeX file,
actually, but it's just sheer luck when it works.

Ideally, LyX would detect the encoding of the file and re-write it as
needed. But this is impossible to do reliably, in principle, and it is
difficult to do with much reliability in practice.

See: http://www.lyx.org/trac/ticket/6223.
