Newbie windows install problem class scrbook is unknown
Hi, I just downloaded and installed lyx for windows: ftp://ftp.lyx.org/pub/lyx/bin/1.4.3/lyx-143-5.exe Prior to this, I had no earlier latex related software installed. I selected all the default answers during the installation. I installed on my windows XP latest and greatest. After the fresh installation, when I run Lyx, I selected help-tutorial and was able to view the dvi for this without difficulty. I then tried help-user’s guide and I get the error: “Using the default document class, because the class scrbook is unknown” I then get a window full of multiple “Unknown layout” error messages, each one referring to a particular layout. The title of this window is “LyX: Parse errors” And also, at the top of the User’s guide, there is a big yellow message saying: “To export this document as pdf, ps or dvi, the LaTeX-package hyperref has to be installed. This package should be part of all popular LaTeX-distributions” Any help would be greatly received. I have tried many things so far, including running: tools-reconfigure But, I am confused as to why I am doing this, since during the installation, I should surely have got all the correct dependencies that are required? – Especially since I followed accepted all defaults… Any help greatly received for a LyX newbie. It looks like a great piece of kit. I am just miffed that it won’t work “out of the box” when using default settings. TIA, Yanni. ___ Inbox full of unwanted email?

LyX-Code env, bash source code, and Bad character code (-1)
Hi, I'm running LyX 1.4.3-2~edgy1 under kubuntu, and I have an strange error that I don't remember to suffer in previous LyX versions (it's been 1 year since last time I used LyX). I'm writing a document (book) and I need to include shell (bash) source code embebed. I'm using the LyX-Code environment and pasting the source code as lines. The problem is that I can't paste - characters. I mean, I paste under LyX-Code the following source code: #!/bin/sh QMAILDUID=`id -u qmaild` NOFILESGID=`id -g qmaild` exec softlimit -m 300 \ (...) Then I select View - DVI and I get the following error in each of the - (minus) signs of the above code: Bad character code (-1) QMAILDUID=`id~-u ~qmaild` A character number must be between 0 and 255. I changed this one to zero. (The same error for each of the - signs in my code). If I remember correctly, I've used - signs in my source code into the Lyx-Code environment for years and I never got this message ... Any idea of what I'm doing wrong? :? Thanks -- Santiago Romero

Your miktex installation should have a package handler, find this and search for koma and install it. After that reconfigure LyX and you should be set.

from
http://www.personal.ceu.hu/tex/defs.htm:
\newenvironment, \renewenvironment
\newenvironment{nam}[args]{begdef}{enddef}
\renewenvironment{nam}[args]{begdef}{enddef}
These commands define or redefine an environment.
nam The name of the environment. For \newenvironment there must be no
currently defined environment by that name, and the command \nam must be
undefined.
args An integer from 1 to 9 denoting the number of arguments of the
newly-defined environment. The default is no arguments.
begdef The text substituted for every occurrence of \begin{name} or
\begin{name}{arg1, arg2, }; a parameter of the form #n in cmd is replaced by
the text of the nth argument when this substitution takes place.
enddef The text substituted for every occurrence of \end{nam}. It may not
contain any argument parameters.
so (re)newenvionment constructs both \begin{environment} and \end{envirnoment}
and both begin and end has to be renamed or be replaced be the renewcommand

With this layout, here is the expected behaviour: ' followed by e will give é ' followed by space will give ' ' followed by ' will give '' Same for `, ^, ~ and The first time I use the character ^ (for accentuated letters îêôû or in math mode for an exponent), it works.

Subsequent uses of the accent do work fine though. The first time I use the ` key followed by a letter (e.g. i), it produces ~i instead of ì. Subsequent uses work as expected. Little subtlety: if I produce a tilde ~ before (like the ñ), the first ` will work fine (the tilde is produced by SHIFT + ` on my keyboard). Umlauts is the same as ' and `, however, since the and ' (double and single quotes characters) are on the same key, the effect is similar as for ` and ~: If I try to use the ' first, them all subsequent uses of and ' will work, and if I start using first, then all subsequent uses of ' and will work fine. I observed the same effect with the previous 1.5.0 svn version. I have no TeX installed, I just wanted to test the new LyX. No error messages appear in the console, even when I launch LyX from a console. Another bug I noticed is a crash (SIGSEV): 1- start LyX, create a new file 2- ctrl+shift+m to enter a display formula 3- type a followed by ^ then 2 (without the quotes) to produce a power 2 it crashes However, if step 3 is changed by typing space between ^ and 2, I have no crash. The crash also happens if the formula is inline, and if I use the menu instead of ctrl+shift+m. Of if I use other letters x power of 3, etc. I hope you can reproduce this, Best regards, Olivier.

You're absolutely right Ingar!
I did a huge amount of experimentation today and found out the real story.
When you say \end{olddescription} in the ending part of the modified version
of description, the \end{olddescription} constructs the macroname
\endolddescription and runs whatever is stored in that macro. Without saving
\enddescription to \endolddescription, the call to \end{description} will end
any environments started in the beginning section of the modified copy of
\description, but it will not perform any explicit writes declared in the
original end section of \description.
I'll be covering this in a new LaTeX quickstart for LyX people.

Re: LyX-Code env, bash source code, and Bad character code (-1)
Santiago Any idea of what I'm doing wrong? :? What you are doing wrong is write in Spanish :) The Spanish mode makes the ~ character active so that people can type ~n for ñ and stuff like that. This is unfortunately not compatible with LyX-Code where hard spaces are output as ~. Try to add \noshorthandsspanish in the preamble. You're right.

You're absolutely right Ingar!
I did a huge amount of experimentation today and found out the real story.
When you say \end{olddescription} in the ending part of the modified version
of description, the \end{olddescription} constructs the macroname
\endolddescription and runs whatever is stored in that macro. Without saving
\enddescription to \endolddescription, the call to \end{description} will end
any environments started in the beginning section of the modified copy of
\description, but it will not perform any explicit writes declared in the
original end section of \description.
I'll be covering this in a new LaTeX quickstart for LyX people.

Newbie windows install problem "class scrbook is unknown"
Hi, I just downloaded and installed lyx for windows: ftp://ftp.lyx.org/pub/lyx/bin/1.4.3/lyx-143-5.exe Prior to this, I had no earlier latex related software installed. I selected all the default answers during the installation. I installed on my windows XP latest and greatest. After the fresh installation, when I run Lyx, I selected help->tutorial and was able to view the dvi for this without difficulty. I then tried help->user’s guide and I get the error: “Using the default document class, because the class scrbook is unknown” I then get a window full of multiple “Unknown layout” error messages, each one referring to a particular layout. The title of this window is “LyX: Parse errors” And also, at the top of the User’s guide, there is a big yellow message saying: “To export this document as pdf, ps or dvi, the LaTeX-package hyperref has to be installed. This package should be part of all popular LaTeX-distributions” Any help would be greatly received. I have tried many things so far, including running: tools->reconfigure But, I am confused as to why I am doing this, since during the installation, I should surely have got all the correct dependencies that are required? – Especially since I followed accepted all defaults… Any help greatly received for a LyX newbie. It looks like a great piece of kit. I am just miffed that it won’t work “out of the box” when using default settings. TIA, Yanni. ___ Inbox full of unwanted email?

LyX-Code env, bash source code, and "Bad character code (-1)"
Hi, I'm running LyX 1.4.3-2~edgy1 under kubuntu, and I have an strange error that I don't remember to suffer in previous LyX versions (it's been 1 year since last time I used LyX). I'm writing a document (book) and I need to include shell (bash) source code embebed. I'm using the LyX-Code environment and pasting the source code as lines. The problem is that I can't paste "-" characters. I mean, I paste under LyX-Code the following source code: #!/bin/sh QMAILDUID=`id -u qmaild` NOFILESGID=`id -g qmaild` exec softlimit -m 300 \ (...) Then I select View -> DVI and I get the following error in each of the - (minus) signs of the above code: " Bad character code (-1) QMAILDUID=`id~-u ~qmaild` A character number must be between 0 and 255. I changed this one to zero. " (The same error for each of the "-" signs in my code). If I remember correctly, I've used "-" signs in my source code into the "Lyx-Code" environment for years and I never got this message ... Any idea of what I'm doing wrong? :?

Your miktex installation should have a package handler, find this and search for koma and install it.

Hi Steve,
I am no LaTeX guru, but as I understand the two first lines:
\let\olddescription=\description
\let\endolddescription=\enddescription
are just there to rename the start and end names of the envirnoment so the old
and unchanges envirnoment still can be used.
from

so (re)newenvionment constructs both \begin{environment} and \end{envirnoment}
and both begin and end has to be renamed or be replaced be the renewcommand
I hope this help. And if I am mistaken I hope someone with a better grasp of
LaTeX corrects me. :)

Please check your keyboard settings and better define your own keyboard layout using the the program "keyboardlayoutcreator" which is freely available here: http://www.microsoft.com/globaldev/tools/msklc.mspx (doesn't work on 64bit systems) This program is easy to use and assures that the dead keys are set properly. Besides this don't you have similar problem when you make the same tests in Windows' Notepad? > Another bug I noticed is a crash (SIGSEV): 1- start LyX, create a new file 2- "ctrl+shift+m" to enter a display formula 3- type "a" followed by "^" then "2" (without the quotes) to produce a power 2 it crashes Couldn't reproduce with latest SVN build. But anyway, when you found a bug please report it here: bugzilla.lyx.org. (please check that it isn't already reported) regards Uwe

Re: plain note
Hi, this is actually what I am doing at the moment. Thank you all for your help.

Just a few lines and some formulae, so no sections, dates, heading etc. What document class should I use for this? Thanks a lot. Philipp Phillipp, I'd just use "article". I'd leave everything in "Standard" environment, and put the formulae in using the "Insert math". I might change the margins, but otherwise I'd just type the note and print it or export to PDF. -- L.

Re: how to produce hatted (circumflex) symbols in Lyx?

In Mac OS X, switch your OS keyboard to "British" (identical to American but allows one to use keyboard shorcuts in LyX 1.4.3), and type â as "option-i a." Or in Windows: http://home.earthlink.net/~awinkelried/keyboard_shortcuts.html Or, hit Cmd+M (or Ctrl+M) twice and enter \^a. This is ERT but also WYSIWYG and no packages need to be loaded. mg
screen font zoom: math fonts problem
I see that others have had trouble getting their math fonts to zoom but I do not see a solution posted. I just installed LyX on the Mac and except for this serious problem everything seems golden. Is there a solution? Thank you, Alan Isaac

You're absolutely right Ingar!
I did a huge amount of experimentation today and found out the real story.
When you say \end{olddescription} in the ending part of the modified version
of description, the \end{olddescription} constructs the macroname
\endolddescription and runs whatever is stored in that macro. Without saving
\enddescription to \endolddescription, the call to \end{description} will end
any environments started in the beginning section of the modified copy of
\description, but it will not perform any explicit writes declared in the
original end section of \description.
I'll be covering this in a new LaTeX quickstart for LyX people.
Thanks,

aspell
Lyx is a great product and I have used it for years. I recently reformatted my computer. When I reinstalled lyx (the online installer and then later the full installer to try fix the problem), the spellchecker didnt work, claiming it could not find the word list for language "en_US". I have installed the aspell dictionary and what claims to be the wordlist. Nothing seems to work. Please help!

I have installed the aspell dictionary and what claims to be the wordlist. Nothing seems to work. Please help! You don't have to install a wordlist, this is created by Aspell. Unfortunately we had a bug in the latest release so that aspell didn't create the wordlist, you can either: - replace the existing aspell.dll with the one that I'll attach to a private mail to you or - uninstall Aspell and all of its dictionaries and reinstall LyX using this installer: http://wiki.lyx.org/Windows/LyXWinInstaller that comes with the fixed aspell Try out the first method and if it doesn't help, try out the second. regards Uwe
