For the moment the only option is to copy everything inside the note, cut it and paste it outside, removing the note afterwards. Again I think this will be simplified in 1.4.4 by allowing to dissolve the note if backspace is pressed in the first position. LyX 1.4.3 already has it. You can uncomment a comment by putting the cursor at the very first position in the comment and hitting backspace, or by hitting delete in the very last position of the comment box. Jürgen
Partial change of document settings
Hello everyone, I´m right now working on a term paper with Lyx 1.4.2. and I´ve got troubles to obey the the layout requirements of my professor. She would like to have a right hand margin of about 6cm and 1 1/2 line spacing. For the main body of the document that´s not a problem at all but I do not want Lyx to trasfer my document settings to my title page and my table of contents. Is there any way, that I could tell Lyx to apply my document settings only let´s say from page 3? Many thanks in advance Marc - Was ist Glück? Schlafen Fische überhaupt?

In ERT, after your tile page and toc:
\addtolength{\oddsidemargin}{-xxcm} % (xx chosen to get 6cm margin)
\addtolength{\evensidemargin}{-xxcm} % if twosided doc
TLC suggests the package doublespace offer an environment to change the line
spacing with a coefficient
(about 1.25 for 1 1/2).
Redefining \baselinestretch in ERT may be used as well.

Re: HTML export, hyperlink doesn't work in LYX 1.4.3
I have compiled LYX 1.4.3 on a redhat Linux machine from source, and have
deleted my previous $home/.lyx directory so it should be like a fresh
installation. The problem is I found that when having inserted some URLs by
Insert-URL..., then View-HTML or export to HTML, the URL never got an
underline, nor is it clickable.
And I found checking the box Generate hyperlink when inserting URL has no
effect on the result. No matter I did it or not, the output Latex file
doesn't change, it always produces a \url{my inserted url string}.
I found an ugly fix that first write \usepackage{html} in document preamble,
and then insert a Latex code box(ERT), writing in it \htmlurl{my url}{desc.
for the link} will produce a clickable hyperlink. However it's so ugly and
it looks like that it should be the intended behavior Insert-URL... should
produce.
Is this a common problem, so a bug in 1.4.3? Or is my setting wrong?

Re: LyX slow in Windows XP
Sven, I opened my LyX docuement and closed all the floating tables and charts but I am still having a problem with the speed of LyX. When I add text to the start or end of the document (where there are few/no math equations) the speed is fine. But when I try to add text in areas where there are big chunks of math then I have the speed problem with csrss.exe and the letters taking several moments to appear in the document. So unfortunately that did not seem to do the trick for me. Ken On 10/9/06, Sven Schreiber [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: kmailuk schrieb: Paul, Thanks for your reply. I already had instant preview turned off. I tried turning off virus scan but I still had the same problem with LyX displaying what I type very slowly.

I looked up csrss.exe and it has something to do with the program windows uses to display stuff on screen. I'll continue to google for more information and try the debug mode next. Thanks again, Ken Hi, I reported a similar effect with an open table inset (in lyx lingo). Equations do not seem to have that much of an effect in my personal experience, but hey, maybe I'm just not using enough of them ;-) So do you have open float insets (figure, table) in your document? -sven

Thanks again, Ken AFAIK, csrss manages application access to the graphics subsystem, so I suspect that every time the GUI writes to the screen, csrss is involved. It's eating way too many cycles, though, and for that matter LyX seems to be eating more than I would expect. I just tried on my office PC (my laptop is not at hand just now). During loading of a document, csrss ate CPU cycles in the single digit to maybe 15% range. Once the document was open, typing didn't involve csrss enough to register. (My office PC is a dual core screamer, though, so that might be a factor.) Which version of LyX are you using, by the way (and which installer, although I doubt that matters)? /Paul

Enter text into indexbox without using mouse
I have almost stoped using the mouse in LyX now, the only problem in 1.4.2 is that if I wish to add an index entry, I only get the grey box and have to click on it to open it to add text. The usual C-i that closes/opens the ERTs doesn't work here :-( Is there a cure so I can open/close it with a shortcut? It's so nice sitting relaxed with the keyboard in the lap, it's very lyxurious.

Lyx-Installer.app requires powerpc tex files on intel platform

So i delete those powerpc directories, and now the installer won't run to completion. I'll paste the report below. I wish I had kept the report indicating that it was using the powerpc files.

lyx 1.4.x performance
Like a few other people, I am having performance problems with Lyx
1.4.3. I started using it about a month ago and I really like the Lyx
method of working. I would appreciate any tips that anyone on the list
can offer.
1.3.7 (installed using the Ubuntu package management) works fine.
However, 1.4.2 and 1.4.3 (both built from source) suffer from sluggish
screen updates and high CPU usage. The program is sluggish but still
usable so, I'd like to keep using 1.4.x as I like some of the new
features. I am gathering notes for a book project and I currently have
about 12,000 words. I presume that I could move back to 1.3.x if the
program becomes unusably sluggish in the future?
This problem existed on Ubuntu 5.10, Ubuntu 6.10 and Kubuntu 6.10LTS. If
I bring up the KDE process monitor, it would seem that the CPU usage
(when I am highlighting text in Lyx) is divided between Lyx and X.org.
The problems persist with either the stock NVidia support that comes
with Ubuntu or the latest drivers from the Nvidia website.
The problem seems worse when I highlight text with the mouse. Moving the
mouse around when highlighting text takes the processor usage up to 100%.
My machine is a PIII 800 w/384 megs.
Nvidia MX440 64mb.
Kubutu 6.10LTS KDE 3.5.2
1.3.x works fine as does 1.4.x if built for the XForms front end. 1.4.x
with the GTK front end shows similar performance problems.
I have attached the output from ./configure --with-frontend=qt
--with-qt-dir=/usr/share/qt3/ lyx143qt_config.txt to this email.
Thanks in advance for any help that people can offer.

Re: LyX slow in Windows XP
Sven, I opened my LyX docuement and closed all the floating tables and charts but I am still having a problem with the speed of LyX. When I add text to the start or end of the document (where there are few/no math equations) the speed is fine. But when I try to add text in areas where there are big chunks of math then I have the speed problem with csrss.exe and the letters taking several moments to appear in the document. So unfortunately that did not seem to do the trick for me. Ken On 10/9/06, Sven Schreiber [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: kmailuk schrieb: Paul, Thanks for your reply.

I looked up csrss.exe and it has something to do with the program windows uses to display stuff on screen. I'll continue to google for more information and try the debug mode next. Thanks again, Ken Hi, I reported a similar effect with an open table inset (in lyx lingo). Equations do not seem to have that much of an effect in my personal experience, but hey, maybe I'm just not using enough of them ;-) So do you have open float insets (figure, table) in your document? -sven

Lyx-Installer.app requires powerpc tex files on intel platform
Hi all, I was just playing around with my Lyx install to figure out why my relyx folder is empty, and in the course of running the Lyx- Installer again, I noticed (from the report) that it is finding tex in some powerpc directories under /usr/local/teTex/bin . So i delete those powerpc directories, and now the installer won't run to completion. I'll paste the report below. I wish I had kept the report indicating that it was using the powerpc files. Note the installer (lyx-installer.app) is a powerpc executable, which may be why it is hunting for powerpc files on my intel mac. 1. Removing obsolete files ... Done removing obsolete files. 2.

minor edit causes 3000 changes in PDF ... and PDF tool?
I added one line to my inside title page of a 190 page book but the resulting PDF -- according to diff has over 3000 changes.

I don't want to regen entire document since I don't want to have any content changes (or page numbering changes) in the printed book. Any suggestions? Any tools that don't required Java? Thanks
lyx 1.4.x performance
Like a few other people, I am having performance problems with Lyx
1.4.3. I started using it about a month ago and I really like the Lyx
method of working. I would appreciate any tips that anyone on the list
can offer.
1.3.7 (installed using the Ubuntu package management) works fine.
However, 1.4.2 and 1.4.3 (both built from source) suffer from sluggish
screen updates and high CPU usage. The program is sluggish but still
usable so, I'd like to keep using 1.4.x as I like some of the new
features. I am gathering notes for a book project and I currently have
about 12,000 words. I presume that I could move back to 1.3.x if the
program becomes unusably sluggish in the future?
This problem existed on Ubuntu 5.10, Ubuntu 6.10 and Kubuntu 6.10LTS. If
I bring up the KDE process monitor, it would seem that the CPU usage
(when I am highlighting text in Lyx) is divided between Lyx and X.org.
The problems persist with either the stock NVidia support that comes
with Ubuntu or the latest drivers from the Nvidia website.
The problem seems worse when I highlight text with the mouse. Moving the
mouse around when highlighting text takes the processor usage up to 100%.
My machine is a PIII 800 w/384 megs.
Nvidia MX440 64mb.
Kubutu 6.10LTS KDE 3.5.2
1.3.x works fine as does 1.4.x if built for the XForms front end. 1.4.x
with the GTK front end shows similar performance problems.
I have attached the output from ./configure --with-frontend=qt
--with-qt-dir=/usr/share/qt3/ lyx143qt_config.txt to this email.
Thanks in advance for any help that people can offer.

Partial change of document settings
Hello everyone, I´m right now working on a term paper with Lyx 1.4.2. and I´ve got troubles to obey the the layout requirements of my professor. She would like to have a right hand margin of about 6cm and 1 1/2 line spacing. For the main body of the document that´s not a problem at all but I do not want Lyx to trasfer my document settings to my title page and my table of contents. Is there any way, that I could tell Lyx to apply my document settings only let´s say from page 3? Many thanks in advance Marc - Was ist Glück? Schlafen Fische überhaupt?

In ERT, after your tile page and toc:
\addtolength{\oddsidemargin}{-xxcm} % (xx chosen to get 6cm margin)
\addtolength{\evensidemargin}{-xxcm} % if twosided doc
TLC suggests the package doublespace offer an environment to change the line
spacing with a coefficient
(about 1.25 for 1 1/2).
Redefining \baselinestretch in ERT may be used as well.

Hi. I managed to create a RPM package of lyx 1.4.3 for Mandriva Linux LE 2006. I followed the guidelines originally posted by Paul Smith and Christian Ridderström in: http://wiki.lyx.org/LyX/LyXOnRedHat It is not a terribly well-organized rpm package, but it looks like it installed in my MDV2006 box all right. If anyone is interested, I could distribute the package, but I think I have no permission to transfer it to any standard lyx mirror... -- Rudi Gaelzer Department of Physics Institute of Physics and Mathematics Federal University of Pelotas BRAZIL Registered linux user # 153741

Ah. I think it was lyx-143-3.exe from http://wiki.lyx.org/Windows/Windows. Ken On 10/10/06, Lorenzo Paulatto <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: kmailuk ha scritto: > Paul, > I am using LyX 1.4.3.

I am not the creator of that page, although it is based on a post by me. I think the page should be retained, but with another title, say, "LyX on Mandriva". Paul

The page should probably say that LyX is in Fedora Extras (whatever that is). Is there a point to having a page describing how to create LyX RPM?

Table of content
LyX 1.4.3 svn - class of document : book - language : French. The table of content appear in the LyX document when it does not in the transcoding pdflatex. I used Chapter* but it is not supposed to appear in the TOC with this class of doc. So I replaced Chapter* by Section* which is supposed to appear. Effectively it appears inside the LyX file but not in the pdf doc through pdflatex. Sorry the title "table des matieres" (toc) appears with nothing below. Any clue Thanks and regards Paul
Lyx-Installer.app requires powerpc tex files on intel platform
Hi all, I was just playing around with my Lyx install to figure out why my relyx folder is empty, and in the course of running the Lyx- Installer again, I noticed (from the report) that it is "finding" tex in some powerpc directories under /usr/local/teTex/bin . So i delete those powerpc directories, and now the installer won't run to completion. I'll paste the report below. I wish I had kept the report indicating that it was using the powerpc files. Note the installer (lyx-installer.app) is a powerpc executable, which may be why it is hunting for powerpc files on my intel mac. 1. Removing obsolete files ... Done removing obsolete files. 2. Testing to see if old LyX user's folder should be moved to new location ... Done moving LyX user's directory to new location. 3.

minor edit causes 3000 changes in PDF ... and PDF tool?
I added one line to my inside title page of a 190 page book but the resulting PDF -- according to diff has over 3000 changes. I think the changes have to do with reconverting images and dates of images (although originals are same). Is there an easy way I can manually edit (maybe with vi) the PDF so I only change the single page? I tried to modify between a "/Type /Page" markers in the files. But didn't work. I don't want to regen entire document since I don't want to have any content changes (or page numbering changes) in the printed book. Any suggestions? Any tools that don't required Java? Thanks
lyx 1.4.x performance
Like a few other people, I am having performance problems with Lyx
1.4.3. I started using it about a month ago and I really like the Lyx
method of working. I would appreciate any tips that anyone on the list
can offer.
1.3.7 (installed using the Ubuntu package management) works fine.
However, 1.4.2 and 1.4.3 (both built from source) suffer from sluggish
screen updates and high CPU usage. The program is sluggish but still
usable so, I'd like to keep using 1.4.x as I like some of the new
features. I am gathering notes for a book project and I currently have
about 12,000 words. I presume that I could move back to 1.3.x if the
program becomes unusably sluggish in the future?
This problem existed on Ubuntu 5.10, Ubuntu 6.10 and Kubuntu 6.10LTS. If
I bring up the KDE process monitor, it would seem that the CPU usage
(when I am highlighting text in Lyx) is divided between Lyx and X.org.
The problems persist with either the stock NVidia support that comes
with Ubuntu or the latest drivers from the Nvidia website.
The problem seems worse when I highlight text with the mouse. Moving the
mouse around when highlighting text takes the processor usage up to 100%.
My machine is a PIII 800 w/384 megs.
Nvidia MX440 64mb.
Kubutu 6.10LTS KDE 3.5.2
1.3.x works fine as does 1.4.x if built for the XForms front end. 1.4.x
with the GTK front end shows similar performance problems.
I have attached the output from ./configure --with-frontend=qt
--with-qt-dir=/usr/share/qt3/ >lyx143qt_config.txt to this email.
Thanks in advance for any help that people can offer.

Re: minor edit causes 3000 changes in PDF ... and PDF tool?
i am sorry i cant help you with a Lyx solution, but here is another solution if you are using linux you can probably split out and then recombine the pdf using pdftk http://www.accesspdf.com/pdftk/ another tool that i find helpful for this sort of thing is flpsed, http://www.ecademix.com/JohannesHofmann/ i often end up printing to ps and minor editing, and then recombining the pdf, afterward hope this helps joe Jeremy C.

The detection mechanism is similar, it will search for those programs in the PATH. I understand that, but it's not being picked up.
