Cannot view file, Linux Mandrake 9.2
Hi all, a newcomer to the list here. I am using LyX to my satisfaction for quite some time. Recently I switched to Mandrake 9.2 from the 9.1 variant a here is what happened: it looks, that the user interface has been switched to QT (from xforms). When I tried to adjust all local settings I was disappointed, because I didn't succeed to read the Czech Tutorial (CS_tutorial) file coming with LyX in the Czech alphabet. I didn't find a place where I could adjust the font setting to ISO 8859-2 for both the user interface and for the document display. When I tried to view the pdf output of the Tutorial I saw the following message instead: LyX: Cannot view file No information for viewing PDF (pdflatex). I decided to download the 1.3.3 from the LyX site and compile/install it. For the user interface I have chosen the xforms and therefore I am able to see the contents of the CS_tutorial file in Czech properly, but the file viewing problem remains. Thanks for helping Ladislav
Document flows off end of page!
Interesting ... note that this is not a lyx problem: if you export to latex and run it through tex, you get the same thing. My guess is that you've given the compiler too few degrees of freedom, with a whole bunch of empty sections and subsections. Still, I'm a bit surprised that it happens. The good news is that it goes away as soon as you actually provide some text for your material. I added just 1 line this is some text to each of the divisions, and the page break was where it should be. Philip A.

Re: Lab manual
Um.. if you mean something like in the screenshot at this page http://wiki.lyx.org/pmwiki.php/Tips/MultipleLyxCodeInSingleEnumerate Hi Christian.. I think there's something missing in those instructions: increase the depth (M-p Right) and then write and change it to followed by M-Enter so that we don't change the depth. We now have: Now write foo --widget=blah, C-Enter, foo --widget=blah and Enter. We now have: Before the last line above, shouldn't there be a change to the LyX-code environment with a M-p c and then an M-p Right to get the same depth as the first set of LyX-code text? If I do the above what's quoted above, I get foo --widget=blah in text mode aligned with and change it to. Secondly, to get what Karsten has on the screenshot, the two lines which look like the following: Then write foo --widget=blub and use C-Enter to get a new line, where you write bar /dev/null and press need to be modified and the C-Enter replaced with M-Enter. nirmal
Re: Cannot view file, Linux Mandrake 9.2
LyX: Cannot view file No information for viewing PDF (pdflatex). Hello.. you need to define a viewer for the PDF (pdflatex) option .. you can do this by going to Edit - Preferences - File Formats (this is in the Qt frontend, I forget what it corresponds to in the xforms frontend but should be something similar) and then select the PDF (pdflatex) option and define a viewer for it (xpdf or acroread or any other viewer that you use). And you may need to do the same for the other PDF options and for PS... nirmal
Re: Document flows off end of page!
Hi, a classic :) (which basically means to me that I stubled about this myself sometime ago as well ;) ) Short answer: Don't write pages full of headings without some content between them. Your problem will disappear as soon as you put some text between the headings. Long answer (hopefully correct): Okay, the problem is that you put a lot of section headings in the file but no text between it. Now latex refuses to insert a pagebreak between headings because when writing real texts (e.g. texts with some kind of content ;) it will look ugly 99% of the time: dummy text sometext sometext sd jcsdkjs fsdjöfkjskdf lksjdfl kjsdlfk jöfdjk ölkdjsfv ölkjldfvkjl kdfjv kdfjv some 1.2 subsection (*) 1.2.1 subsubsection further rexr hjbdkj h sadkjhg akjhkjfhgds jfhkg akjdfvgkajdsgfv kg iuatszd ckjhbad skgcv k jhdggd jhdfk jhgdf skjhgajfdskhg afdsjhg kjsdhfg kjadfs kjdsh /dummy text At (*) a pagebreak wouldn't look nice, so latex prevents this. It's nevertheless completely okay to start writing a text exactly as you did it, you just shouldn't expect latex typesetting it sensible.

It's not a difference between M Enter and C Enter as far as I can tell cos you'll get the second block of code in text mode which doesn't seem to be what that example tries to illustrate (or so I figure.. :-)).. need to be modified and the C-Enter replaced with M-Enter.

Cannot view file, Linux Mandrake 9.2
Hi all, a newcomer to the list here. I am using LyX to my satisfaction for quite some time. Recently I switched to Mandrake 9.2 from the 9.1 variant a here is what happened: it looks, that the user interface has been switched to QT (from xforms). When I tried to adjust all local settings I was disappointed, because I didn't succeed to read the Czech Tutorial (CS_tutorial) file coming with LyX in the Czech alphabet. I didn't find a place where I could adjust the font setting to ISO 8859-2 for both the user interface and for the document display. When I tried to view the pdf output of the Tutorial I saw the following message instead: LyX: Cannot view file No information for viewing PDF (pdflatex). I decided to download the 1.3.3 from the LyX site and compile/install it. For the user interface I have chosen the xforms and therefore I am able to see the contents of the CS_tutorial file in Czech properly, but the file viewing problem remains. Thanks for helping Ladislav

Interesting ... note that this is not a lyx problem: if you export to latex and run it through tex, you get the same thing. My guess is that you've given the compiler too few degrees of freedom, with a whole bunch of empty sections and subsections. Still, I'm a bit surprised that it happens. The good news is that it goes away as soon as you actually provide some text for your material. I added just 1 line this is some text to each of the divisions, and the page break was where it should be. Philip A.

We now have: Now write foo --widget=blah, C-Enter, foo --widget=blah and Enter. We now have: Before the last line above, shouldn't there be a change to the LyX-code environment with a M-p c and then an M-p Right to get the same depth as the first set of LyX-code text? If I do the above what's quoted above, I get foo --widget=blah in text mode aligned with and change it to. Secondly, to get what Karsten has on the screenshot, the two lines which look like the following: Then write foo --widget=blub and use C-Enter to get a new line, where you write bar /dev/null and press need to be modified and the C-Enter replaced with M-Enter. nirmal

Re: Document flows off end of page!
Hi, a classic :) (which basically means to me that I stubled about this myself sometime ago as well ;) ) Short answer: Don't write pages full of headings without some content between them. Your problem will disappear as soon as you put some text between the headings. Long answer (hopefully correct): Okay, the problem is that you put a lot of section headings in the file but no text between it. Now latex refuses to insert a pagebreak between headings because when writing real texts (e.g. texts with some kind of content ;) it will look ugly 99% of the time: dummy text sometext sometext sd jcsdkjs fsdjöfkjskdf lksjdfl kjsdlfk jöfdjk ölkdjsfv ölkjldfvkjl kdfjv kdfjv some 1.2 subsection (*) 1.2.1 subsubsection further rexr hjbdkj h sadkjhg akjhkjfhgds jfhkg akjdfvgkajdsgfv kg iuatszd ckjhbad skgcv k jhdggd jhdfk jhgdf skjhgajfdskhg afdsjhg kjsdhfg kjadfs kjdsh /dummy text At (*) a pagebreak wouldn't look nice, so latex prevents this. It's nevertheless completely okay to start writing a text exactly as you did it, you just shouldn't expect latex typesetting it sensible.

I am not sure I understand, but the tool of choice for bibliographical data in LaTeX/LyX is BibTeX. BibTeX stores the bibliographical data in text files, so it should be possible to generate an appropriate output from MySQL. BibTeX is described in the LyX docs and you can find lots of information on the web. HTH, Jürgen.

Yes, I know that Mac OS X is Unix-based, but it seems to me that operating system which puts programs in /sw tree is not exactly most usual among Unices (nothing wrong with that -- just the reason I think that things around directories are not exactly same as among most Unixes you meet around; and of course I may be wrong, because I have actually never used Mac OS X myself). Despite what Herbert Voà writes in the followup to this message about TeXLive, it seems rather strange to break FHS (http://www.pathname.com/fhs/2.2/fhs-4.9.html, see article 4.9.1). For more on this see also http://groups.google.com/groups?selm=handler.175343.D175341.104173292317301.ackdone%40bugs.debian.org which seems to me to be rather illuminating. See also http://www.tex.ac.uk/cgi-bin/texfaq2html?label=tds. As of TeXLive -- I would need to study more what was the reason for texmf.local, but one which seems to me probable is that TeXLive is highly multiplatform distribution and creation of temxf-local (and texmf-var) directory tree in "C:\Program Files\TeXLive" seems to be highly sensible solution on Windows, where are no standards for different local and system file directories.

I suggest you use \hyphenation anyway :). It is cleaner and the right way... It also make the same word always break in the same place, or never break. To make hyphenation work without ERT try placing this in your /usr/local/share/lyx/layout/stdclass.layout file: #hypenation Style Hyphenation Marginstatic Latextype Command Latexname hyphenation ParSkip 0.4 ItemSep 0 TopSep0 BottomSep 1 ParSep1 Align Center AlignPossible Center Font Size Normal Shape Italic Color Blue EndFont End (Remember to reconfigure LyX) Then in your document choose the Hypenation "environment" from the list, before rthe word to be hyphenated, and add the words with the chosen hyphenation or without... And they are easy to spot as they as they are on a line all alone and in blue italics ;) Ingar

Yes, you are wrong, both about MacOS and about TeX installations. One software management utility (fink) puts MacOS software in /sw; it is not an official part of MacOS. (Many Unix versions put optional software in /opt; by your standards are they also not "real" Unix?) As Herbert noted, modern TeX installations include a texmf.local hierarchy for user introduced files. That was the original issue on this thread, and the original poster would be wise to put local files in the texmf.local directory so they are not overwritten in a TeX update. If your own TeX installation does not have a texmf.local directory, Matej, you might want to consider updating. Be careful that the local files you put in the tex directories are not overwritten when you do. -- Ronald Florence www.18james.com
