I guess I can. I am using Fedroa 15 LXDE, LyX 2.0.2, and the official
outdated Textlive 2007 from the repo. I have tried, and once I remove
the package unsupported by my textlive version (Doc  Settings 
preamble), I can export to pdf/dvi. LyX crashes immediately (LyX
closes). It generates a ABRT (automated bug reporting tool) report.

I am aware the file is in German. I am also a beginner (I installed LyX
a week ago, and I have NO level of expertise yet). Let me know if my
answer is not relevant.

Thanks. Are there any suspicious messages in that report (or on the console,

Yes, but it's the decision of the Open File dialog library code to not allow

It's not a permission problem. The Finder is able to traverse into it with 
right mouse button menu item Show Package Content

 One possible solution (in case you want to open some example regularly):
 * Open the LyX.app package content in finder
 * Go to Contents/Resources
 * Drag the examples folder to the left side bar
 Now it is available in LyX open file dialog in the side bar too.

 LyX itself works, DVI, pdfLatex, etc. Also I can't locate any 'lyxpipe'

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

Appendix depth

[Bianca Schöne]

I'm close to finishing my diploma thesis in LyX. I'm using the KOMA
(book) class, and I have a problem with my appendix.

The appendix is relatively short, only 2 parts with 1 and 2 pages,
respectively. I would like to name these parts A and B, but I don't
want to make them chapters, because of the formatting that would bring
(almost half a page of whitespace and at least one empty page before
each new chapter, which is ridiculous with such short parts).

So basically, I want the naming (A and B instead of A1 and A2) of
chapters, but the formatting of sections. (A minimal file is
included.)

Is there a not overly complicated way to do this?

Thank you for any help, and a happy new year!

Re: LyX 2.0.2 [Texlive2007] on Fedora 15 [en_US] - Problem with Japanese output

 I need to write documents in English/Japanese. I can input Japanese in
 LyX, but no matter the Document settings (see: below [01][03]), it
 always return error messages (see:below [02][03]) when I output to DVI
 or PDFLATEX.

 LyX complains about 'CJK.st' not found. There is no 'tex-cjk' package in
 the Fedora repository to my knowledge. I have installed
 'texlive-east-asian', see detail:
 http://zid-luxinst.uibk.ac.at/linux/rpm2html/fedora/15/i386/updates/texlive-texmf-east-asian-2007-40.fc15.noarch.html
 I do not know if this package is necessary, or if I can remove it?

 In the LyX Document settings: the only fonts I see are Latin fonts. I
 do not see any Japanese fonts (with or without 'texlive-east-asian'
 package installed). There is only an empty CJK font field.

 The LyX wiki did not help me. Some web pages refers to a CJK package to
 install manually, but I am not positive. I don't really know if my
 problem if is a setting, or a missing package.

 Help greatly appreciated.

I am not sure if I can help but here it goes. :-)

There is a new version of texlive, version 2011 as it can be seen at
http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Features/TeXLive

in order to install it for Fedora 15 you need to install as root:

# rpm -i 
http://jnovy.fedorapeople.org/texlive/packages.f15/texlive-release.noarch.rpm

The advantage of this approach is that it gives the most recent texlive version.


In case you still have problems could you, please, send us (privately to
me iff you wish) a small document that shows this problem and I will
compile it to see if the problem persists.

lyx2kindle.py, version 0.0.2, now available

[Steve Litt]

Hi all,

I've just put version 0.0.2 of lyx2kindle.py on the web, right here:

http://www.troubleshooters.com/projects/lyx2kindle/

It's free software so anyone can use it, modify it, or distribute it.

Version 0.0.2 is much more practical than 0.0.1. It can be used to 
make a Kindle specification compliant .mobi. It's not dufus simple, 
and the documentation is insufficient, and who knows, it's possible 
you might need someone to go in and change the Python code a little 
bit (although I doubt it), but IMHO it's much simpler than, for 
instance, authoring in Sigil. And I can't help feeling the final 
result will be likely to be better than something authored in MSWord.

So far this has only been tested on two books by me, both on the Linux 
operating system. But for people who have asked me about making Kindle 
books, I think this is better than most alternatives, especially if 
you're starting from scratch and can use LyX for your authoring tool.

Hope you like it.

 http://zid-luxinst.uibk.ac.at/linux/rpm2html/fedora/15/i386/updates/texlive-texmf-east-asian-2007-40.fc15.noarch.html
 I do not know if this package is necessary, or if I can remove it?

 In the LyX Document settings: the only fonts I see are Latin fonts. I
 do not see any Japanese fonts (with or without 'texlive-east-asian'
 package installed). There is only an empty CJK font field.

 The LyX wiki did not help me. Some web pages refers to a CJK package to
 install manually, but I am not positive. I don't really know if my
 problem if is a setting, or a missing package.

 Help greatly appreciated.

I am not sure if I can help but here it goes. :-)

There is a new version of texlive, version 2011 as it can be seen at
http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Features/TeXLive

in order to install it for Fedora 15 you need to install as root:

# rpm -i 
http://jnovy.fedorapeople.org/texlive/packages.f15/texlive-release.noarch.rpm

The advantage of this approach is that it gives the most recent texlive version.


In case you still have problems could you, please, send us (privately to
me iff you wish) a small document that shows this problem and I will
compile it to see if the problem persists.

Hello, Jürgen. It looks like the problem as been solved. Anyway, for

I am not sure if it is related with the OP and the bug, or simply with

and the command in the preamble. Then, I preview to pdf/dvi.

lyx2kindle.py, version 0.0.2, now available

[Steve Litt]

Hi all,

I've just put version 0.0.2 of lyx2kindle.py on the web, right here:

http://www.troubleshooters.com/projects/lyx2kindle/

It's free software so anyone can use it, modify it, or distribute it.

Version 0.0.2 is much more practical than 0.0.1. It can be used to 
make a Kindle specification compliant .mobi. It's not dufus simple, 
and the documentation is insufficient, and who knows, it's possible 
you might need someone to go in and change the Python code a little 
bit (although I doubt it), but IMHO it's much simpler than, for 
instance, authoring in Sigil. And I can't help feeling the final 
result will be likely to be better than something authored in MSWord.

So far this has only been tested on two books by me, both on the Linux 
operating system. But for people who have asked me about making Kindle 
books, I think this is better than most alternatives, especially if 
you're starting from scratch and can use LyX for your authoring tool.

Hope you like it.

I guess I can. I am using Fedroa 15 LXDE, LyX 2.0.2, and the official
outdated Textlive 2007 from the repo. I have tried, and once I remove
the package unsupported by my textlive version (Doc > Settings >
preamble), I can export to pdf/dvi. LyX crashes immediately (LyX
closes). It generates a ABRT (automated bug reporting tool) report.

I am aware the file is in German. I am also a beginner (I installed LyX
a week ago, and I have NO level of expertise yet). Let me know if my
answer is not relevant.

I investigated a bit further and I think this is
http://www.lyx.org/trac/ticket/7941

This explains why I do not get the crash: The bug is already fixed in the 
stable branch.

Peter, if you compile the source yourself, you might try out latest branch or 
apply the following patch to your sources:

I gave it a try on Mac OS X and it didn't crash with LyX trunk.
Terminal output:

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?

Yes, but it's the "decision" of the Open File dialog library code to not allow 
you to traverse into an application package.
It's not a permission problem. The Finder is able to traverse into it with 
right mouse button menu item "Show Package Content"
(I have german menus - there it is "Paketinhalt zeigen").

You may configure the location of the lyxpipe in LyX preferences if the default 
location does not work for you.

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:

Appendix depth

[Bianca Schöne]

I'm close to finishing my diploma thesis in LyX. I'm using the KOMA
(book) class, and I have a problem with my appendix.

The appendix is relatively short, only 2 parts with 1 and 2 pages,
respectively. I would like to name these parts A and B, but I don't
want to make them chapters, because of the formatting that would bring
(almost half a page of whitespace and at least one empty page before
each new chapter, which is ridiculous with such short parts).

So basically, I want the naming (A and B instead of A1 and A2) of
chapters, but the formatting of sections. (A minimal file is
included.)

Is there a not overly complicated way to do this?

Thank you for any help, and a happy new year!
Bianca

There is a new version of texlive, version 2011 as it can be seen at

in order to install it for Fedora 15 you need to install as root:

The advantage of this approach is that it gives the most recent texlive version.
