Getting text to wrap around illustrations in Lyx
I am trying to get Lyx to wrap text around illustrations for a book. What I notice is that if the illustration is 50% or less of the column width, the text wraps very neatly. Otherwise, the justification of the text goes awry. Is this some bug in Lyx, or is there some logic to it?

Text deleted... but blank page remains
I've deleted some text from Lyx, but the blank page remains inserted. Probably this is because of the "track changes" setting which still holds the text in its place. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks!

how to fix dependance errors
Hi, I have a problem to install both latex-beamer and lyx. the reason is that each package creates the file beamer.layout, that is if I installed lyx-common the file is created, and i I try to install latex-beamer I get error like this E: /opt/etch/lyx-common_1.5.0~beta1-2_all.deb: trying to overwrite `/usr/share/lyx/layouts/beamer.layout', which is also in package latex-beamer If I installed first latex-beamer, I'd get error at the installation of lyx, I installed them both I 'd get same problem too. I've tried also to install one of them and manually remove beamer.layout from the directory and try to install the other. The problem is still there thanks for help best regards bela

no way to export as latex
Hi, I just installed the lyx-1.5beta, I am surprised that no export type exist specially for latex. If this exists we can do others with commands ( dvips, latex2html ). the right buttons generate only ps, pdf, dvi. Why is it omitted ?? thanks bela
glossary.sty and LyX
Dear list, I am trying to get LyX 1.4.3 to work with the LaTeX package glossary.sty, which offers customizable abbreviation index and glossary. Assuming my source file is mydoc.tex, one needs to call makeindex to process a latex generated file mydoc.glo, putting out mydoc.gls. required call: makeindex -s mydoc.ist -t mydoc.glg -o mydoc.gls mydoc.glo In a final latex run, this is then incorporated into the document. I tried to trick LyX into calling makeindex in the right way. For this, I created a dummy standard LyX index entry in the document and a inserted a standard LyX index list. Then, LyX is prompted to call makeindex when compliling. I tried to modify the makeindex command in the Preferences. The main problem is that mydoc.glo does not have the extension .idx which LyX apparently assumes when calling makeindex. So I finally ended up writing a wrapper script mkidxwrap.sh that strips the .idx extension so that mkidxwrap.sh mydoc.idx is equivalent to the above makeindex call. Now, the good news is that this does work for documents that are in one piece. Unfortunately it does not work for a multipart document with index entries in several child documents. When I use lyx -dbg external then I get an error message of the following kind from makeindex: parentdoc.glo: file not found. Any suggestions or cleaner ways to make LyX call makeindex in the right way? Cheer, Nils
Cannot start lyx in NetBSD 3.0.1
Hi, I cannot start lyx after installing in NetBSD 3.0.1 I get the following error message: $ lyx LyX: reconfiguring user directory python: not found LyX: Done! LyXTextClassList::Read: unable to find textclass file `' After reading around on the list as far as I can tell, the problem is lyx cannot find python and the LyXTextClassList::Read: unable to find textclass file `' error message is a result of that. All well and good, nowhere could I find information on how to tell lyx where to find python. As far as I can tell I have the correct version of python on the system Python 2.4.3 and it is working. Here is the read-out from lyx -version $ lyx -version LyX 1.4.3 (21/09/2006) Built on Feb 22 2007, 23:11:10 Configuration Host type: i386--netbsdelf Special build flags:aiksaurus jpeg-image-loader use-aspell use-ispell C Compiler: cc C Compiler LyX flags: C Compiler flags: -I/usr/pkg/include -I/usr/include -I/usr/pkg/include/python2.4 -I/usr/X11R6/include -I/usr/pkg/include -I/usr/X11R6/include -O2 -I/usr/pkg/include -I/usr/include -I/usr/pkg/include/python2.4 -I/usr/X11R6/include C++ Compiler: c++ (3.3.3) C++ Compiler LyX flags: -fno-exceptions C++ Compiler flags: -I/usr/pkg/include -I/usr/include -I/usr/pkg/include/python2.4 -I/usr/X11R6/include -I/usr/pkg/include -I/usr/X11R6/include -O2 -I/usr/pkg/include -I/usr/include -I/usr/pkg/include/python2.4 -I/usr/X11R6/include -fno-exceptions Linker flags: Linker user flags: -L/usr/pkg/lib -L/usr/lib -Wl,-R/usr/lib -L/usr/pkg/lib/python2.4/config -Wl,-R/usr/pkg/lib/python2.4/config -Wl,-R/usr/pkg/lib -L/usr/X11R6/lib -Wl,-R/usr/X11R6/lib -L/usr/pkg/lib Forms Frontend: ibXpm version: 4.11 libforms version: 1.0.0 Packaging: posix LyX binary dir: /usr/pkg/bin LyX files dir: /usr/pkg/share/lyx Any clues? regards, Alasdair
Re: Bug 3358, LyX crashes with View->Open/Close all insets
Sorry, wrong list! Abdelrazak Younes wrote: Andre', JMarc, LFUN_ALL_INSETS_TOGGLE calls LFUN_INSET_TOGGLE for every inset in the doc. LFUN_INSET_TOGGLE (Ctrl-i) works fine when used directly within a math inset (by fine I mean it does not crash, I am sure I like the behaviour). It seems that the problem lies in the passed temporary cursor in LFUN_ALL_INSETS_TOGGLE. Abdel.
