Converting from older version

[Christian Payne]

Hi,

I have a large and somewhat complex LyX document that I been working on 
under LyX 1.1.6fix4 on a Linux system for a number of years. For 
various reasons I now need to keep working on this with LyX under 
Windows (version 1.3.5). However, when I go and open up the file I get a 
message An error occurred running the conversion script.


Can anyone suggestion how I can fix this problem? In particular, it is 
ESSENTIAL that the document not be damaged in any way!



Thanks in advance,

Christian.

dvips and /tmp

Is there a way to have dvips use a directory other than /tmp for
temporary files?  I am using lyx 1.2.3 and tetex 1.0.6.

I have a memory-based /tmp file system and it is too small to for dvips

 (Post them to bugzilla in other words.)
 

So Kevin, have you opened a bug for that yet? If so, I would like to add
a comment/ interim suggestion:

I have just discovered that using the Navigate - Note menu item is
very useful to do just that, navigate from note to note. Is there any
reason why not all inset types have entries in the Navigate menu?
(Especially footnotes and ERT.)

Also, it's nice that the menu has a submenu-list for figures and tables.
Wouldn't that also be useful for other insets, maybe using the first
couple of words as a substitute for the caption?

Finally, the Navigate - Ref entry actually seems to refer to labels,
not to references. Is that a (known?) bug or a feature?

Please direct me to the appropriate bugzilla entries if those exist. (I
have briefly searched for inset so far.) Thanks.

Hi Vasek,

Thanks for the message.  I tried to run monoprint with the following  
code,


x=0:0.1:1
plot(x,sin(x))
monoprint(1,'test4',2)

But the system hung...

Did I use it incorrectly?
I have a2ping installed in my system.

Strange. Works fine on my setup. (Linux, tetex)
BTW, I would not use 2 as the third argument. The picture would be bigger than 
the page of article class. You would need to add a3paper to its options.

 But the system hung...

Well, this happens when there is malformed latex code in the figure and latex 
runs in interactive mode. 

Do you have all the packages? graphicp,psfrag, geometry
Actually, you do not need graphicp, change it to graphicx, it should also 
work.

What happens if you go to /tmp and run:
latex pcttmp.tex
manually?

that's exact what I did.  I changed graphicp to graphicx,  It runs well

There should be a way to fix it..

Apparently I need to update the wiki to reflect better how to install 
cocoAspell (which is now done).


If you go to the cocoAspell site, you'll notice there that dictionaries 
must be downloaded and installed separately from 
ftp://ftp.gnu.org/gnu/aspell/dict. I believe you haven't yet done 
this, an that's why it's producing this error for you.


Let me know if that does the trick.

troubleshooting 1.3.1 book template question

[tom poe]

Hello:  I am using Lyx 1.3.1 and the book template.  When I convert to
pdf with either the pdf selection or the ps selection followed by
ps2pdf, I get formatting problems at the tops of pages.  For example if
the Chapter has sections and subsections, they are layered over each
other at the top of each page.  I downloaded both the bz2 and gz
patches, but tar doesn't recognize the header info.  I then decided to
download 1.3.5 and see what happens, but the download site is
temporarily not working for me.  I started to go through the archives,
but the first several pages drew a blank.  

Can someone point me to the code that controls the info on the top of
each page in a converted pdf file?  I'll play with that, maybe, until I
get a successful download of 1.3.5
Thanks, in advance,
Tom

Web Site: Tips Tricks Gone?

[Rich Shepard]

  I have the URL package installed and specified in my document's preamble.
But, I don't know how to use it to define a URL. I went to the LyX web site
and clicked on the link for Tips  Tricks. Instead of seeing what used to
be there, I was taken to the TUG web site and shown Herbert's PSTricks main
page.

  What happened to that wonderful resource of tips and tricks?

Thanks,

Help with big braces

[Stefano Franchi]

Hi all,

I need to insert a small diagram in my text that (in an ugly Ascii 
version) should look more or less like the the one below. I could draw 
it in a graphic package and insert it as an image, but I would very 
much like to have LyX typeset it and maintain consistency with fonts, 
etc., Problem is, I can't see how to do it. Perhaps exploiting the math 
options?  I read the math section of the LyX manual, but I don't see 
any way to do it. Perhaps the math experts have a suggestion?

Any help greatly appreciated.

Stefano

Here is the diagram

Overlong URL

[Rich Shepard]

  I've read TLC2, pages 93-96 where the URL package is described, but I have
not found how to force a break in a typeset URL when it overfills the
horizontal line. I've tried spliting it over two lines using a '%' to
indicate continuation, but that is ignored.

  How do I fix an overfull line when it's the formatted URL that is too
long?

TIA,

Rich

a comment/ interim suggestion:

I have just discovered that using the Navigate - Note menu item is
very useful to do just that, navigate from note to note. Is there any
reason why not all inset types have entries in the Navigate menu?
(Especially footnotes and ERT.)

Also, it's nice that the menu has a submenu-list for figures and tables.
Wouldn't that also be useful for other insets, maybe using the first
couple of words as a substitute for the caption?

Finally, the Navigate - Ref entry actually seems to refer to labels,
not to references. Is that a (known?) bug or a feature?

Please direct me to the appropriate bugzilla entries if those exist. (I
have briefly searched for inset so far.) Thanks.

Hi Vasek,

Thanks for the message.  I tried to run monoprint with the following  
code,


x=0:0.1:1
plot(x,sin(x))
monoprint(1,'test4',2)

But the system hung...

Did I use it incorrectly?
I have a2ping installed in my system.

Strange. Works fine on my setup. (Linux, tetex)
BTW, I would not use 2 as the third argument. The picture would be bigger than 
the page of article class. You would need to add a3paper to its options.

Well, this happens when there is malformed latex code in the figure and latex 
runs in interactive mode. 

Do you have all the packages? graphicp,psfrag, geometry
Actually, you do not need graphicp, change it to graphicx, it should also 
work.

What happens if you go to /tmp and run:

If you go to the cocoAspell site, you'll notice there that dictionaries

troubleshooting 1.3.1 book template question

[tom poe]

Hello:  I am using Lyx 1.3.1 and the book template.  When I convert to
pdf with either the pdf selection or the ps selection followed by
ps2pdf, I get formatting problems at the tops of pages.  For example if
the Chapter has sections and subsections, they are layered over each
other at the top of each page.  I downloaded both the bz2 and gz
patches, but tar doesn't recognize the header info.  I then decided to
download 1.3.5 and see what happens, but the download site is
temporarily not working for me.  I started to go through the archives,
but the first several pages drew a blank.  

Can someone point me to the code that controls the info on the top of
each page in a converted pdf file?  I'll play with that, maybe, until I
get a successful download of 1.3.5
Thanks, in advance,
Tom

Web Site: Tips Tricks Gone?

  I have the URL package installed and specified in my document's preamble.
But, I don't know how to use it to define a URL. I went to the LyX web site
and clicked on the link for Tips  Tricks. Instead of seeing what used to
be there, I was taken to the TUG web site and shown Herbert's PSTricks main
page.

  What happened to that wonderful resource of tips and tricks?

Thanks,

Help with big braces

[Stefano Franchi]

Hi all,

I need to insert a small diagram in my text that (in an ugly Ascii 
version) should look more or less like the the one below. I could draw 
it in a graphic package and insert it as an image, but I would very 
much like to have LyX typeset it and maintain consistency with fonts, 
etc., Problem is, I can't see how to do it. Perhaps exploiting the math 
options?  I read the math section of the LyX manual, but I don't see 
any way to do it. Perhaps the math experts have a suggestion?

Any help greatly appreciated.

Stefano

Overlong URL

[Rich Shepard]

  I've read TLC2, pages 93-96 where the URL package is described, but I have
not found how to force a break in a typeset URL when it overfills the
horizontal line. I've tried spliting it over two lines using a '%' to
indicate continuation, but that is ignored.

  How do I fix an overfull line when it's the formatted URL that is too
long?

TIA,

Rich

Converting from older version

[Christian Payne]

Hi,

I have a large and somewhat complex LyX document that I been working on 
under LyX "1.1.6fix4" on a Linux system for a number of years. For 
various reasons I now need to keep working on this with LyX under 
Windows (version 1.3.5). However, when I go and open up the file I get a 
message "An error occurred running the conversion script".


Can anyone suggestion how I can fix this problem? In particular, it is 
ESSENTIAL that the document not be damaged in any way!



Thanks in advance,

Christian.

dvips and /tmp

[Bruce Momjian]

Is there a way to have dvips use a directory other than /tmp for
temporary files?  I am using lyx 1.2.3 and tetex 1.0.6.

I have a memory-based /tmp file system and it is too small to for dvips
to generate a presentation I am working on.

Fire up the Edit->Preferences dialog and go change the location in the 
Paths pane, then press "Save". You'll need to shut down and restart LyX for 
it to take effect.

Hi Vasek,

Thanks for the message.  I tried to run monoprint with the following
code,

x=0:0.1:1
plot(x,sin(x))
monoprint(1,'test4',2)



Strange. Works fine on my setup. (Linux, tetex)
BTW, I would not use 2 as the third argument. The picture would be  
bigger than
the page of article class. You would need to add a3paper to its  
options.



But the system hung...


Well, this happens when there is malformed latex code in the figure  
and latex

runs in interactive mode.

Do you have all the packages? graphicp,psfrag, geometry
Actually, you do not need graphicp, change it to graphicx, it should  
also

work.

What happens if you go to /tmp and run:
latex pcttmp.tex
manually?

Re: LyX and cocoaspell

Dear lyxers

	I am rather new to LyX on OSX (10.3.9). So far I managed quite well 
to get in everything in working order, starting to write my first 
paper using elsart. My only problem is that I cannot make cocoaspell 
work under LyX even making the symbolic link. I have follow the 
instruction in LyX wiki and I got this answer from Lyx:


"Error: the file "/usr/local/lib/aspell-0.60e/english" can not be 
opened for reading"


Any suggestions?


Apparently I need to update the wiki to reflect better how to install 
cocoAspell (which is now done).


If you go to the cocoAspell site, you'll notice there that dictionaries 
must be downloaded and installed separately from 
. I believe you haven't yet done 
this, an that's why it's producing this error for you.


Let me know if that does the trick.

Remove it or replace with your own...

Re: laprint & psfrag

[Richard Wang]

I see, I removed it.   Now the line 36,  ~/a2ping.pl part has problem, 
matlab shows:


/Users/richardwang/a2ping.pl  command does not exist.

Then I replace ~/a2ping.pl by a2ping, but it shows:

Compiling: LaTeX -> dvips -> pdf ...
Died at /usr/local/teTeX/bin/powerpc-apple-darwin-current/a2ping line 
1618,  line 1.

cd /tmp; a2ping laprint_out.ps: Signal 127
cp: /tmp/laprint_out.pdf: No such file or directory

Any suggestions?

In case that someone knows a2ping, the line 1681 is:

 o_force_papersize:
die if is_page1_stop();
 # vvv ($llx,$lly,$urx,$ury)=(0,0,$papersize_x,$papersize_y);

Thanks.

troubleshooting 1.3.1 book template question

[tom poe]

Hello:  I am using Lyx 1.3.1 and the book template.  When I convert to
pdf with either the pdf selection or the ps selection followed by
ps2pdf, I get formatting problems at the tops of pages.  For example if
the Chapter has sections and subsections, they are layered over each
other at the top of each page.  I downloaded both the bz2 and gz
patches, but tar doesn't recognize the header info.  I then decided to
download 1.3.5 and see what happens, but the download site is
temporarily not working for me.  I started to go through the archives,
but the first several pages drew a blank.  

Can someone point me to the code that controls the info on the top of
each page in a converted pdf file?  I'll play with that, maybe, until I
get a successful download of 1.3.5
Thanks, in advance,
Tom

Web Site: Tips & Tricks Gone?

[Rich Shepard]

  I have the URL package installed and specified in my document's preamble.
But, I don't know how to use it to define a URL. I went to the LyX web site
and clicked on the link for "Tips & Tricks." Instead of seeing what used to
be there, I was taken to the TUG web site and shown Herbert's PSTricks main
page.

  What happened to that wonderful resource of tips and tricks?

Thanks,

Rich

Help with big braces

[Stefano Franchi]

Hi all,

I need to insert a small diagram in my text that (in an ugly Ascii 
version) should look more or less like the the one below. I could draw 
it in a graphic package and insert it as an image, but I would very 
much like to have LyX typeset it and maintain consistency with fonts, 
etc., Problem is, I can't see how to do it. Perhaps exploiting the math 
options?  I read the math section of the LyX manual, but I don't see 
any way to do it. Perhaps the math experts have a suggestion?

Any help greatly appreciated.

Stefano

Here is the "diagram"

Overlong URL

[Rich Shepard]

  I've read TLC2, pages 93-96 where the URL package is described, but I have
not found how to force a break in a typeset URL when it overfills the
horizontal line. I've tried spliting it over two lines using a '%' to
indicate continuation, but that is ignored.

  How do I fix an overfull line when it's the formatted URL that is too
long?

TIA,

Rich
