Re: BibTeX styles

[John Hughes]

Rudi: I'm using LyX and not LaTeX (although I had to use LaTeX when I
was trying to make custom .bst files).

Vaclav: I looked under MenuToolsPreferencesPaths, but I can't see
anything like lyx_tmpdir? or lyx_tmpbuf???.

I'm using Windows XP if that helps.

 Hi,

 I'm a little new to this, so please be patient with me. I'm trying to
 use a BibTeX database to organise my references. The database seems to
 work fine and I can insert a BibTeX reference list into my document
 and use it to put citations in my document. However, when I try to
 change the style using a .bst file generated from the custom-bib
 program, the dvi output puts question marks instead of citations and
 there's no reference list at all. The same thing happens when I use
 any .bst file downloaded from the web. I'd like to use natbib to get
 Harvard-style references.

 Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Hi,
when I saw similar behaviour in LyX it was usually caused by some error or
warning of bibtex. When I resolved them, I worked fine.

To check what bibtex is doing, go to temp directory (see.
MenuToolsPreferencesPaths). There, you will find a directory
lyx_tmpdir? with subdirectory lyx_tmpbuf??? each directory belongs to one
file open in LyX. Find the one related to your document and there you will
see a file maned as your document with .blg extension.
This is the bibtex log-file. Try to resolve errors and warnings listed there.

Actually, a plugin to PmWiki (which is what wiki.lyx.org uses) can 
probably do this. Have a look at


http://www.wikipublisher.org/wiki/

The primary purpose is to generate PDF from the wiki text, but since I 
know that the transformation goes as


wiki - XML - LaTeX - PDF

it seems reasonable that you can get the LaTeX. The author's name is John 
Rankin, I'm CC:ing him for you.

PS. In the very long run, I've got an idea for using LyX to directly edit 
the wiki pages. That's not even vaporware though, more like vaporplan :-)

 Vaclav: I looked under MenuToolsPreferencesPaths, but I can't see

In, MenuToolsPreferencesPaths is an entry Temporary directory.
This directory is different in different systems, that is why I wanted you to 
see where is yours. On linux, my temporary directory is /tmp.

So, files lyx_tmpdir? or lyx_tmpbuf??? are in /tmp on my system.
On yours, it would be probably C:\Documents and Settings\...
You will find lyx_tmp... files there.

Save your .bst styles in another directory (e.g. c:\localtex\bibtex) and try

Re: Help with mis-converted accents

Thanks to Charles and José have been able to reconvert all the 
LaTexified accents into proper form.


I am now facing a big problem, though: LyX refuses to read the LaTex 
files back in. The problem must have something to do with encodings,
and in particular with reLyX refusal to read correctly the high codes 
for the accented letters. In fact, any file containing an accented 
letter will exhibit the same behavior, at least on my system: once 
exported as LaTeX it cannot be reimported back into LyX (I enclose a 
one line file below as an example). The file compile correctly from 
within LyX, though.

Re: Update to: [announce] LyX150svn builds for Windows

[gumm]

Hi, LyXers

I fixed some bugs and changed a lot in the installer, here's the 
changelog:

https://developer.berlios.de/project/shownotes.php?release_id=11890

have other people been successful with this installer ?

I tried the previous version, and the current one. But
 - lyx.bat just opens a dos-box, immediately closes it again and dies.
 - lyx.exe returns the spartanic error message:
  This application has failed to start, because the applicatioon
   configuration is incorrect. Reinstalling the application may fix 
this problem.


I reinstalled it, restarted the machine - to no avail.

Previous versions of LyX run ok on my machine
- 1.37 (very well)
- 1.43 (unsatisfactory regarding instant preview).

Greetings,
 H.Peter

Further info: switching the converter from reLyX to tex2lyx does not 
help. If called from within LyX tex2lix  fails as reLyX did. If called 
from the command line, it does indeed succeed in producing a Lyx file, 
but with screwed up accents (i.e. é -- lower capital accented e, for 
instance. Other screw-ups are even more exotic). Besides, the file does 
not compile into pdf (as it should be expected, I guess)

for real work. You should also note that LyX-1.5 uses a document  
format that is not readable by LyX-1.4.x.


Nonetheless, we are interested in getting feedback from users to help  
us improve LyX-1.5 before its release. If you find any crashes,  
please report them to the LyX Developers' mailing list: mailto:lyx-

QPainter but not finding it even though I have installed Qt 4.2.2 Open

 Well I am using edgy and I see little flakiness. It is actually more 
 stable in my experience than LTS Dapper. I suspect two trends occur with 
 Ubuntu:
 
 1) The short release cycle (6 months) means that some bugs are not 
 properly sorted out.
 
 2) On the other hand all linux apps are overall slowly getting more 
 mature and stable so if you use the latest distro you use (in principle) 
 somewhat more stable software. Of course when major new features are 
 added to an app this argument is not valid anymore.


Maybe, I upgraded too quickly last yr and went from Ubuntu Breezy to Dapper 
before it was official.
OMG, was this a mistake. I now know I should have installed it via a chroot, 
and tested it out. But anyway, I learnt the hard way and broke a production 
machine.
It might be a little too conservative not to upgrade to most shiniest version, 
but I retain my sanity, or some thing that looks like it. ;-)

Not sure it is relevant, though.

Re: Help with mis-converted accents

More and more frustrating...can anyone on a PowerPC Mac please  
give it a try? Try exporting to LaTeX the enclosed lyx file and

it compiles all right.

In fact, that's where the file is, and that's the library application

Moreover, neither copying the chkconfig.ltx file to the dir LyX seems 
to be looking in (/usr/local/Resources/lyx, nor creating an environment 
variable LYX_DIR_14x makes any difference. Same behavior and same error 
message.

Bibliography Style with In: for chapters in books

[Rainer M Krug]

Hi

An urgent last minute question:

I am looking for a bibliography style which has author-year citations in 
text and the bibliography is sorted by surname, initials and book 
chapters are referenced as: Chaptername. In:book information


All the ones I have found so far use book. Ch. Chaptername

Any ideas?

volume of rotation drawing

Hi.
Not really lyx related but someone might perhaps know how to produce nice eps

find in your calculus textbook where the graph of f(x)  rotates around the 
x-axis.

Any ideas?

Hi,
when I saw similar behaviour in LyX it was usually caused by some error or
warning of bibtex. When I resolved them, I worked fine.

To check what bibtex is doing, go to temp directory (see.
MenuToolsPreferencesPaths). There, you will find a directory
lyx_tmpdir? with subdirectory lyx_tmpbuf??? each directory belongs to one
file open in LyX. Find the one related to your document and there you will
see a file maned as your document with .blg extension.
This is the bibtex log-file. Try to resolve errors and warnings listed there.

Re: Help with mis-converted accents

Thanks to Charles and José have been able to reconvert all the

I am now facing a big problem, though: LyX refuses to read the LaTex 
files back in. The problem must have something to do with encodings,
and in particular with reLyX refusal to read correctly the high codes 
for the accented letters. In fact, any file containing an accented 
letter will exhibit the same behavior, at least on my system: once 
exported as LaTeX it cannot be reimported back into LyX (I enclose a 
one line file below as an example). The file compile correctly from 
within LyX, though.

Re: Update to: [announce] LyX150svn builds for Windows

[gumm]

Hi, LyXers

I fixed some bugs and changed a lot in the installer, here's the 
changelog:

https://developer.berlios.de/project/shownotes.php?release_id=11890

have other people been successful with this installer ?

I tried the previous version, and the current one. But
 - lyx.bat just opens a dos-box, immediately closes it again and dies.
 - lyx.exe returns the spartanic error message:
  This application has failed to start, because the applicatioon
   configuration is incorrect. Reinstalling the application may fix 
this problem.


I reinstalled it, restarted the machine - to no avail.

Previous versions of LyX run ok on my machine
- 1.37 (very well)
- 1.43 (unsatisfactory regarding instant preview).

Greetings,
 H.Peter

Further info: switching the converter from reLyX to tex2lyx does not 
help. If called from within LyX tex2lix  fails as reLyX did. If called 
from the command line, it does indeed succeed in producing a Lyx file, 
but with screwed up accents (i.e. é -- lower capital accented e, for 
instance. Other screw-ups are even more exotic). Besides, the file does 
not compile into pdf (as it should be expected, I guess)

LyX-1.5 is currently in active development. There are currently many  
bugs and crashes which may destroy your data. This should not be used  
for real work. You should also note that LyX-1.5 uses a document  
format that is not readable by LyX-1.4.x.


Nonetheless, we are interested in getting feedback from users to help  
us improve LyX-1.5 before its release. If you find any crashes,  
please report them to the LyX Developers' mailing list: mailto:lyx-

LyX and QPainter error messages...

[Nick Hopton]

Hello All,

Running LyX for Windows Version 1.5.0svn (Thu Dec 14 01:49:58 2006) on 
XP-Pro. At start-up I get the following messages in the terminal window:


lyx: Disabling LyX socket.
QPainter::begin: Paint device returned engine == 0, type: 2
QPainter::end: Painter not active, aborted

Can anyone tell me what is happening here, LxY appears to be looking for 
QPainter but not finding it even though I have installed Qt 4.2.2 Open 
Source Edition? Most of the features of LyX still seem to work okay, but 
I'm curious about the messages.


Regards,
Nick.

lyx gtk

[camus . philippe]

Hi everybody !
Does anyone know about a lyx-gtk version which would run (almost) bugfree ?
I'm just trying to compile a maemo-lyx for nokia 770 (there's already a
maemo-TeX) but I'd like to have a solid ground to begin the real work.
The 1.4.3 I tried ( as normal gtk application, I mean i386) died every time
I try to click on a panel or a toolbar !
Thanks

 Well I am using edgy and I see little flakiness. It is actually more 
 stable in my experience than LTS Dapper. I suspect two trends occur with 
 Ubuntu:
 
 1) The short release cycle (6 months) means that some bugs are not 
 properly sorted out.
 
 2) On the other hand all linux apps are overall slowly getting more 
 mature and stable so if you use the latest distro you use (in principle) 
 somewhat more stable software. Of course when major new features are 
 added to an app this argument is not valid anymore.


Maybe, I upgraded too quickly last yr and went from Ubuntu Breezy to Dapper 
before it was official.
OMG, was this a mistake. I now know I should have installed it via a chroot, 
and tested it out. But anyway, I learnt the hard way and broke a production 
machine.
It might be a little too conservative not to upgrade to most shiniest version, 
but I retain my sanity, or some thing that looks like it. ;-)

In fact, that's where the file is, and that's the library application

Moreover, neither copying the chkconfig.ltx file to the dir LyX seems

An urgent last minute question:

I am looking for a bibliography style which has author-year citations in

chapters are referenced as: Chaptername. In:book information


All the ones I have found so far use book. Ch. Chaptername

volume of rotation drawing

Hi.
Not really lyx related but someone might perhaps know how to produce nice eps

x-axis.

Any ideas?

Hi,
when I saw similar behaviour in LyX it was usually caused by some error or
warning of bibtex. When I resolved them, I worked fine.

To check what bibtex is doing, go to temp directory (see.
Menu>Tools>Preferences>Paths). There, you will find a directory
lyx_tmpdir? with subdirectory lyx_tmpbuf??? each directory belongs to one
file open in LyX. Find the one related to your document and there you will
see a file maned as your document with .blg extension.
This is the bibtex log-file. Try to resolve errors and warnings listed there.

it seems reasonable that you can get the LaTeX. The author's name is John

In, Menu>Tools>Preferences>Paths is an entry "Temporary directory".
This directory is different in different systems, that is why I wanted you to 
see where is yours. On linux, my temporary directory is "/tmp".

So, files lyx_tmpdir? or lyx_tmpbuf??? are in "/tmp" on my system.
On yours, it would be probably "C:\Documents and Settings\..."
You will find lyx_tmp... files there.

Oh, that would be the classical problem of MikTeX, which does not like spaces 
in filenames.

Save your .bst styles in another directory (e.g. c:\localtex\bibtex) and try 
again.

Moinmoin can generate docbook. I never tried to see if you can import it

I would be interested, if you can give some feedback on that. Another

Re: Help with mis-converted accents

Thanks to Charles and José have been able to reconvert all the 
LaTexified accents into proper form.


I am now facing a big problem, though: LyX refuses to read the LaTex 
files back in. The problem must have something to do with encodings,
and in particular with reLyX refusal to read correctly the high codes 
for the accented letters. In fact, any file containing an accented 
letter will exhibit the same behavior, at least on my system: once 
exported as LaTeX it cannot be reimported back into LyX (I enclose a 
one line file below as an example). The file compile correctly from 
within LyX, though.

Re: Update to: [announce] LyX150svn builds for Windows

Hi, LyXers

I fixed some bugs and changed a lot in the installer, here's the 
changelog:

https://developer.berlios.de/project/shownotes.php?release_id=11890

have other people been successful with this installer ?

I tried the previous version, and the current one. But
 - lyx.bat just opens a dos-box, immediately closes it again and dies.
 - lyx.exe returns the spartanic error message:
  "This application has failed to start, because the applicatioon

this problem."


I reinstalled it, restarted the machine - to no avail.

Previous versions of LyX run ok on my machine
- 1.37 (very well)
- 1.43 (unsatisfactory regarding instant preview).

Greetings,
 H.Peter

Further info: switching the converter from reLyX to tex2lyx does not 
help. If called from within LyX tex2lix  fails as reLyX did. If called 
from the command line, it does indeed succeed in producing a Lyx file, 
but with screwed up accents (i.e. é --> lower capital accented e, for 
instance. Other screw-ups are even more exotic). Besides, the file does 
not compile into pdf (as it should be expected, I guess)

LyX-1.5 is currently in active development. There are currently many

for real work. You should also note that LyX-1.5 uses a document  
format that is not readable by LyX-1.4.x.


Nonetheless, we are interested in getting feedback from users to help  
us improve LyX-1.5 before its release. If you find any crashes,  
please report them to the LyX Developers' mailing list: . If you find other bugs, please look at this  
file first before you inform the developers: .

I was quite eager to try out the new features, but unfortunately the 
app does not open: "You cannot open the application "LyX-150" because 
it is damaged or incomplete"


This happened on a PowerBook G4 12" running MacOs 10.3.9

Re: BibTeX styles

[John Hughes]

Thanks - I've moved the files to somewhere without spaces in the name
and now it works perfectly!

Oh, that would be the classical problem of MikTeX, which does not like spaces
in filenames.

Save your .bst styles in another directory (e.g. c:\localtex\bibtex) and try
again.

altering document class

[jim]

I need to make a minor change to the mwrep report class, so that 
the Bibliography is labelled `References' instead. I am using lyx 1.4.2 
on ubuntu linux. I know nothing of latex but screwed my courage to 
the sticking place and edited  /usr/local/share/lyx/layouts/mwrep.layout
 and /usr/share/texmf-tetex/tex/latex/mwcls/mwrep.cls simply changing 
instances of `Biibliography' to `References'. I ran Tools/Reconfigure 
and restarted lyx. The section is labelled `References` within 
the app but 
when I prepare an output file it is still called Bibliography. Can you 
tell me 
how to proceed or point me to some docs please?


Thanks!
