I see that your problem has been addressed already by Jan Goebel. I'd just

After some writing I added floats and pictures. Everything was fine
until I added more floats and pictures: Suddenly a number of errors
occured like:
1. ! LaTeX Error: Too many unprocessed floats.

The control sequence at the end of the top line
of your error message was never \def'ed. If you have
misspelled it (e.g., `\hobx'), type `I' and the correct
spelling (e.g., `I\hbox'). Otherwise just continue,

A number should have been here; I inserted `0'.
(If you can't figure out why I needed to see a number,
look up `weird error' in the index to The TeXbook.)
Attached you will find the *.log-, *.lyx and LaTexConfig.lyx-files.
Sometimes it works, when I change the "float placement" to "top" or
"here".
But thats not very usefull and also it is not reproducible.
Do I have to add something to the LaTex-Preface or is it just a simple
mistake I made?
Do I have to check and fix the Tex-code by hand and if that's necessary,
is this very common and does such problems happen very often?
I'm using klyx 0.10.0 with the SuSE-Linux-Distribution 6.3.

Re: lyx-1.1.6pre2, pdflatex
If you didn't apply that internationalisation patch that I sent you, then
this may well be the same problem.
Could you set LANG=C in a terminal and then run lyx from there.
I've just successfully run pdflatex on the UserGuide (well actually I got
some errors but that's another story). Running "top" in another window
should show you that lots of fonts are being generated ("mf" is running) and
"pdftex" runs in bwteen times too.

Installing Problems
Hello out there! I have installed lyx 1.1.5fix2 on my desktop an it works perfectly. Now I wanted to install it on my laptop. But I can't get it work. When I try to start lyx in the XTerm, I get the following message: "lyx: SIGSEGV signal caught Sorry, you have found a bug in LyX. If possible, please read 'known bugs' under the Help menu and then send us a full bug report, Thanks!" I tried it with the 1.1.5fix1 and fix2 RPM-files and also with the tar.gz - always the same result. Surprisingly, if I install version 1.1.4fix3 from my SuSE 7.0 CD-Rom (which file has 8 MB, btw), this version works!

Section with line (slightly off-topic)
Hi,
trying to create sectino with line. What I mean is something
like this
Section title___ (to the right edge)
Even though I persuade both titlesec and sectsty very
forcefully, neither of them seems to be of any help. The best
what I can get is the line BELOW the section title not on the
same line by this definition in preamble:
\usepackage{sectsty}
\makeatletter
\newcommand{\nadpisline}[1]{%
\ttfamily
\huge
\bfseries
#1
\hrulefill
}
\makeatother
\sectionfont{\nadpisline}
Other unwanted result is by this:
\usepackage{titlesec}
\titleformat{\section}[hang]
{\ttfamily\huge\bfseries}
{}{}{\hrulefill}
which makes line in beginning of the line not in its end.
I am counting my penalty points for off-topic question, but I
have not been really able to find answer anywhere else.
Thanks

If your laptop has fewer colours than your desktop (8bit vs 16bit for example) then there is a very good chance you are triggering a bug caused by the use of the incorrect version of the xforms library. Make sure the xforms library matches your glibc version. There are a number of distributions that include xforms as an extra package and include a version compiled for an earlier glibc version. For SuSE-70 which uses glibc-2.1.3 IIRC you should ensure that the xforms library you installed was called something like xforms-0.8X-glibc2.1.tar.gz where X is either an 8 or a 9. If you installed an xforms rpm then you may not see mention of which glibc that xforms version was meant for. Allan. (ARRae)

Could you set LANG=C in a terminal and then run lyx from there.
I've just successfully run pdflatex on the UserGuide (well actually I got

"pdftex" runs in bwteen times too.

Installing Problems
Hello out there! I have installed lyx 1.1.5fix2 on my desktop an it works perfectly. Now I wanted to install it on my laptop. But I can't get it work.

I tried it with the 1.1.5fix1 and fix2 RPM-files and also with the tar.gz - always the same result. Surprisingly, if I install version 1.1.4fix3 from my SuSE 7.0 CD-Rom (which file has 8 MB, btw), this version works!

Section with line (slightly off-topic)
Hi,
trying to create sectino with line. What I mean is something
like this
Section title___ (to the right edge)
Even though I persuade both titlesec and sectsty very
forcefully, neither of them seems to be of any help. The best
what I can get is the line BELOW the section title not on the
same line by this definition in preamble:
\usepackage{sectsty}
\makeatletter
\newcommand{\nadpisline}[1]{%
\ttfamily
\huge
\bfseries
#1
\hrulefill
}
\makeatother
\sectionfont{\nadpisline}
Other unwanted result is by this:
\usepackage{titlesec}
\titleformat{\section}[hang]
{\ttfamily\huge\bfseries}
{}{}{\hrulefill}
which makes line in beginning of the line not in its end.
I am counting my penalty points for off-topic question, but I
have not been really able to find answer anywhere else.
Thanks

If your laptop has fewer colours than your desktop (8bit vs 16bit for example) then there is a very good chance you are triggering a bug caused by the use of the incorrect version of the xforms library. Make sure the xforms library matches your glibc version. There are a number of distributions that include xforms as an extra package and include a version compiled for an earlier glibc version. For SuSE-70 which uses glibc-2.1.3 IIRC you should ensure that the xforms library you installed was called something like xforms-0.8X-glibc2.1.tar.gz where X is either an 8 or a 9. If you installed an xforms rpm then you may not see mention of which glibc that xforms version was meant for. Allan. (ARRae)

I see that your problem has been addressed already by Jan Goebel. I'd just
add that LyX is now so much more advanced than klyx that it seems sad to not
use all the power available for the sake of a prettier interface. In the not
too distant future LyX will get a KDE frontend again; in the meantime I'd
stick with LyX's ugly GUI and greater power.

Re: lyx 1.1.6pre2
So I see. This is the result of all LyX's popups now being marked FL_TRANSIENT as they "belong" to the main lyx window.

I not sure it is a bad thing. i saw, it's for all other windows, too. this not in 1.1.5 therefore it does not belong to wm. anyway, i agree with you, but for me it was a good feature, when latex preamble switches to background, when i have complicated stuff in preamble and looking for errors in preamble/text.

Installing Problems
Hello out there! I have installed lyx 1.1.5fix2 on my desktop an it works perfectly. Now I wanted to install it on my laptop. But I can't get it work. When I try to start lyx in the XTerm, I get the following message: "lyx: SIGSEGV signal caught Sorry, you have found a bug in LyX. If possible, please read 'known bugs' under the Help menu and then send us a full bug report, Thanks!" I tried it with the 1.1.5fix1 and fix2 RPM-files and also with the tar.gz - always the same result. Surprisingly, if I install version 1.1.4fix3 from my SuSE 7.0 CD-Rom (which file has 8 MB, btw), this version works! As you might have realized, my operating system is SuSE Linux 7.0 (with less packages on the laptop). Well, after this hard day, you are my last hope... Thanks in advance, Juergen. -- Dorfstr. 55 79341 Hecklingen Tel.: 07644/ 930642 Fax: 07644/ 930643

Is it possible that you didn't install the standard X11 fonts (75 or 100dpi)?

Pagestyle help
I am trying to make my own custom pagestyle instead of using the standard fancy, plain, headings and default ones. I haven't been able to find any information on how to go about doing this. I pretty much want the top of the left sided pages to have a line and say the section number and title while the right side has a line with the subsection number and title. Is this possible? Where could I look to find information on how to do this? Thanks. -Nick
Re: Pagestyle help
Hello, why you don't use fanyhdr, you can customize it! Look at (on Linux) /usr/share/texmf/doc/latex/fancyhdr/fancyhdr.dvi Or have a look at: http://www.educat.hu-berlin.de/~voss/lyx/fancy/header.phtml#fancy_1 Hope it helps Jan On Thu, 30 Nov 2000, Nick DeClario wrote: > I am trying to make my own custom pagestyle instead of using the > standard fancy, plain, headings and default ones.

Section with line (slightly off-topic)
Hi,
trying to create sectino with line. What I mean is something
like this
Section title___ (to the right edge)
Even though I persuade both titlesec and sectsty very
forcefully, neither of them seems to be of any help. The best
what I can get is the line BELOW the section title not on the
same line by this definition in preamble:
\usepackage{sectsty}
\makeatletter
\newcommand{\nadpisline}[1]{%
\ttfamily
\huge
\bfseries
#1
\hrulefill
}
\makeatother
\sectionfont{\nadpisline}
Other unwanted result is by this:
\usepackage{titlesec}
\titleformat{\section}[hang]
{\ttfamily\huge\bfseries}
{}{}{\hrulefill}
which makes line in beginning of the line not in its end.
I am counting my penalty points for off-topic question, but I
have not been really able to find answer anywhere else.
Thanks
Matej Cepl

Your Sectiontitle \hrulefill
with style chapter, section or any otherone and \hrulefill in tex(red)

I don't know if this is important, but I had the strange idea to install Netscape to check out if it's running. And it does. But Lyx still doesn't.

1.1.6.pre2 package geometry
in lyx 1.1.5 i could toggle the "use package geometry"-button, with or without any values in the four fields for the margins. in 1.1.6.pre2 you have to clear all four fields, otherwise you can't change the use of the geometry package. is there any sense for this new behaviour?

If your laptop has fewer colours than your desktop (8bit vs 16bit for example) then there is a very good chance you are triggering a bug caused by the use of the incorrect version of the xforms library. Make sure the xforms library matches your glibc version. There are a number of distributions that include xforms as an extra package and include a version compiled for an earlier glibc version. For SuSE-70 which uses glibc-2.1.3 IIRC you should ensure that the xforms library you installed was called something like xforms-0.8X-glibc2.1.tar.gz where X is either an 8 or a 9. If you installed an xforms rpm then you may not see mention of which glibc that xforms version was meant for. Allan. (ARRae)
Re: announce lyx-1.1.6pre2; Insert Raster Images
Just to make this clear to me: Is there any way now to insert a raster image via the External Inset and scale down the resulting eps-file or can I just scale down the raster image via -geometry and loose information?
