We are pleased to announce the release of LyX 1.6.1. This is the first
maintenance release in the brand-new 1.6.x series, and as such, it mainly

The ispell can be operated under terminals, however it can not be
started in LyX.
The error message was "The spellchecker could not be started. LyX:
Failed to start ispell!"
I already check the instruction, but I still cannot let it works.

I need to put a character count on my front page. Is there a way to do this
automatically with Lyx / TeX /...?

Hallo people, I tried to google for this a lot and to look into the wiki
too, but seems like I cannot find it. I can ensure you I solved a lot of
problems myself by the way :)
So my first question is, is it possible, in a multicolumn document (I only
managed to find the document on 2 colums option.
Hi,
in Lyx 1.6.1, after preferences have been changed (such as choosing new
fonts or colors), the window moves up a few pixels, seems like as much
as my windowframe height is. I guess it gets the client size (which does
not include WM decorations) and then uses that to set the window
geometry
Thanks Neil and Paul. Indeed, using the LaTeX command \tag seems like
the best thing I could find---thanks for the specific tips regarding
math modes and cross referencing, which I guess are good ideas, I had
never thought of, in LaTeX editing as well. One of the greatest things
of LyX is t
hello, i noticed that math macros exist. i want something similar, but in my
text. i'm writing a text about a cs problem called "minimum KT distance",
which is a noun. and I'm really tired of typing that name and then setting
it to be a noun. isn't there a quicker way?

For some reason LyX 1.5.4 no longer produces a .PDF, .PS, .DVI or LaTeX export
file of either type when requested.
Perhaps it is because of an error that I have introduced in my file, but there
is no error message when I request the output file.
Some of my short earlier .lyx files work OK, but
Hi,
support for "automatic" \lfloor-\rfloor in math, like there is for
\left( \right), seems to be absent; could it be added in a future
version?

I've found that the best way to use Maxima with LyX is to write all of
the maxima commands in a comment box in LyX. I write them as if I were
writing a batch file for Maxima. Then I simply copy and paste them
into a maxima session. The last commands in a particular code block
ask Maxima for
Hi Ivan,
Just to follow up on Paul's solution, you can go one step further and
make the equation number automatic. Suppose that you have equation (3)
and you also have a rewritten form of that equation, call it (3'). Do
all of the steps that Paul has indicated, except rather than putting

TeXLive 2008 has a package manager as well, including a GUI, that lets you
install and update individual packages. The only thing it doesn't, as opposed
to MikTeX PM, is on-the-fly-installing.
Unfortunately, it's still not available from the Ubuntu repositories.

Does the European Union allow this? Seems cruel. Now if LyX were
developed in Texas ... :-)

I'm used to TeXnicCenter and MikTex on Windows, but I decided to give LyX
(1.55) a try on my Ubuntu 8.10 system, and I'm having difficulty creating
PDFs. When I run pdflatex from within LyX, it keeps saying I'm missing
basic packages: like subfigure, and wrapfig, and nomencl.
