OT? upgrading Texlive to work with LyX 2.0.2. Paths problem

2012-05-15 Thread John Kane 
 
I am trying to upgrade
from TexLive 2009 to TexLive 2011 on Ubuntu 12.04 to use with LyX
2.0.2. Ubuntu's repositories have only the 2009 package.

Working on a ASUS X53U

I managed to get 2011

instruction at http://www.mail-archive.com/lyx-users@lists.lyx.org/msg91608.html

Unfortunately a power
surge took out that machine and I am now trying to get things back to
normal on the new machine

Removed TexLive 2009

Well said. In general, it's  s good idea to run

$source .profile

or

$source .bashrc

etc., whenever you modify one of those environment-altering files.
That way you can test your changes immediately without having to
restart the terminal or rebooting the machine. Other things may happen
when you do that, and I'd like to keep variables to a minimum when
setting things up. After a while it becomes a habit, like running
mktexlsr after manually installing a tex package.

Lyx bibliography

2012-05-15 Thread Daniel 
Hi,

I am writing my PhD thesis in Lyx and I'm using Jabref to manage my references
and produce the .bib file. When I compile my file Lyx correctly produces the
bibliography at the end of the document but the citations are messed up. I get
things like  l [e,?] where the citation should go (but the corresponding
reference in the bibliography is there.

Any ideas on how to fix this would be greatly appreciated.

This is almost always because your bibliography file contains illegal 
characters, e.g,. unicode characters
such as quote marks, em-dashses, and the like. These often get pasted in 
from the web or something.


The issue has arisen many times before; try searching the list for info.

Well said. In general, it's  s good idea to run

$source .profile

or

$source .bashrc

etc., whenever you modify one of those environment-altering files.
That way you can test your changes immediately without having to
restart the terminal or rebooting the machine. Other things may happen
when you do that, and I'd like to keep variables to a minimum when
setting things up. After a while it becomes a habit, like running
mktexlsr after manually installing a tex package.


Cheers,

Stefano

Biblatex

2012-05-15 Thread Bernd Kappenberg 

sorry, wrong language...

Hello,

I installed Biblatex for LyX according to this: 
(http://wiki.lyx.org/BibTeX/Biblatex)


It returns an error message:
- Undefined control sequence: \begin{document}

I can't find out where the error is hiding.

Regards

Lyx bibliography

2012-05-15 Thread Daniel 
Hi,

I am writing my PhD thesis in Lyx and I'm using Jabref to manage my references
and produce the .bib file. When I compile my file Lyx correctly produces the
bibliography at the end of the document but the citations are messed up. I get
things like  "l [e,?]" where the citation should go (but the corresponding
reference in the bibliography is there.

Any ideas on how to fix this would be greatly appreciated.

This is almost always because your bibliography file contains illegal 
characters, e.g,. unicode characters
such as quote marks, em-dashses, and the like. These often get pasted in 
from the web or something.


The issue has arisen many times before; try searching the list for info.
