several problems

[Wolfgang Engelmann]

Dear list members,

I encountered several problems. Perhaps you could help me.

First of all, I am not receiving any mail from the 
LyX Users List lyx-users@lists.lyx.org
since a few days. So if this mail comes through, and I am not receiving an 
answer until lets say August 28 12 CET I assume there is something wrong with 
the mail from the list to my address. I am adding a copy of this mail being 
sent to my address, so this issue should be solved. 

Secondly,
I added yesterday a xfig created figure to my (koma-script) book and got a 
crash in lyx. Error message is

lyx QWidget::repaint: Recursive repaint detected
lyx: SIGSEGV signal caught!
Sorry, you have found a bug in LyX, hope you have not lost any data.
Please read the bug-reporting instructions in 'Help-Introduction' and send us 
a bug report, if necessary. Thanks !
Bye.  

and if I start with 
lyx -dbg graphics

QPaintEngine::setSystemClip: Should not be changed while engine is active
QPaintEngine::setSystemClip: Should not be changed while engine is active
QWidgetPrivate::beginSharedPainter: Painter is already active

The problem is, that I told lyx to start with the last document opened (just 
for lazyness; was not a good idea in hindsight), therefore I am not able to 
do anything with it.

What I could try to do is open the lyx document with a texteditor and take the 
(probably) offending figure out, hoping that it will work afterward. But 
perhaps somebody has a better idea.

I have checked for the error in the internet, but the related messages are 
outdated and do not seem to be related to my case (except that qt is 
involved)

I am using Debian sid under Linux, Lyx svn 2.0

Thanks for your attention

Re: I can´t run lyx 2.0

[Marcelo Acuña]

  Hello,
     I upgrade my computer to amd 64
 bit
  processor, and re installed linux with amd64
 version and
  installed last qt, 4.6.3.
     I compiled lyx 1.6.7 and it run
  without problem.
     But lyx 2.0 alpha 4 and alpha 5
 not
  run.
     I get:
  lyx-2.0a5: error while loading shared
 libraries:
  libQtGui.so.4:
  cannot open shared object file: No such file
 or
  directory
  What I make bad?
  How I can correct the problem?
    The file: libQtGui.so.4, is present
 in my hard disc.
    I have not problem with lyx 1.6.7.
    I think that I have a PATH not
 defined, but I don´t know which path because 1.6.7 compile
 and 2.0 alpha 5 compile without problem.

 What distro linux you have ?. I am test all alpha version
 and compile 
 without problem. Also I  test with lyx-devel and
 update with git svn 
 without problem, in Mandriva distro.
 
 Miguel

 Debian Lenny, with i386 and version I have not problem and I can compile and 
run all alpha version.
 The problem appears now, with debian lenny amd64 and new qt 4.6.3, but this qt 
not came with lenny. I download, compile and install.
 With lyx 1.6.7 I have not problem.
 May be a path?

problems with section spacing and getting unstarred sections into toc

[Bok Young Hoon]

Hi everyone:
I am just trying to finish putting the chapters of my thesis together and
seem to be running into some problems:

1. the spacing between sections seem to be inconsistent (there would be
large (vertical) spaces between some sections (or in this case subsections)
and very small spaces between others) - is there anything I can do about
this?

2. does anyone know how I can get unstarred sections to appear in the table
of contents?

Thanks in advance for all your help with this.

This seems to be independent of the images in your document. If you send me a (if possible _small_)

Noweb Sweave question: Need help to copy folder from lyx temp back to current document directory.

[Paul Johnson]

In Sweave, we process a noweb document first through R to generate the
tex file, and then the usual processing occurs.

Because not all LyX/LaTeX systems have the noweb setup, it is
necessary for me to develop my document with Sweave/Lyx, and then save
the generated files (in a folder plots) and use them in the final
document without invoking Sweave.  I do this with LyX branches. I have
a branch for the Sweave commands that generates the files in plots,
and then I have \includegraphics{} or \input{} as needed.

It mostly works fine, there is just a wrinkle that bothers me. So far,
I have just used brute force to copy the whole plots folder from the
working directory back to the document root with a command inside the
document itself.

copyover, fig=F, echo=T, include=T=
system(rsync -ra plots /home/pauljohn/ps/ps707/Workbook/Workbook-plot)
@

That is OK, except I have to hardcode the document directory.  And
no matter what I do, it seems like I have to process the document
through latex twice. The first time I run the process in LyX, it runs
the document through R Sweave and it makes the plots, but when the
pdflatex run happens,


LaTeX Error: Cannot determine size of grpahic in plots/plot-gss.pdf

After that, I check the plots folder in the document directory and the
files are copied over.  But they are not there fast enough to make
pdflatex happy? Really?

I was thinking there must be some work around in LyX config.  It the
LyX documents, I find info on converters and copiers and  $$p or  $$r.

The converter in .lyx/preferences, I have converters like so:

#
# CONVERTERS SECTION ##
#

\converter literate latex R CMD Sweave $$i 
\converter literate pdflatex R CMD Sweave $$i 
\converter literate r R CMD Stangle $$i 
##

Put the copy on the end of the converter:

\converter literate pdflatex R CMD Sweave $$i  cp -R plots $$r 

I believe it SHOULD work. The plot folder DOES get copied over.
However,  still not fast enough. I still see LaTeX errors:

LaTeX Error: Cannot determine size of graphic in plots/plot-gss.pdf

If I run everything through again, then the document goes get created.

But this is bad because the whole project has to be run through the R
Sweave process two times.

What do you think?

If you tell me how to fix this, I will feel happy.  In return, I will
show you the LyX file that uses Frank Harrell's Sweavel.sty (Sweave
using the listings class), which is nicer looking:

how to add a caption to a Box inset?

[Justin Wood]

Hi all. I've had a look around but can't seem to find an answer to this
one... I want to create a regular ole framed box (you know, as a
self-contained area for 'aside' or 'extra info' type content), but I can't
figure out how to give it a useful automatic identifier. As in, following
the same naming format that Figure captions do: Box 1, or Box 1.1, etc, and
have this displayed in the top part of the box somewhere.

I've just used Insert — Box (as minipage). If I attempt to insert a
caption, LyX warns me that would be 'Senseless!!!', and doesn't generate
anything other than the caption text (no numbering). I tried wrapping the
box in a float, which then allowed me to insert a caption, but this of
course is treated as a *Figure*, which is not what I'm after (and would mess
up the numbering for any subsequent real figures).

Any help much appreciated!

latex source with line breaks

[Jannick Asmus]

Hi,

copying the latex text from the source window provides the text, but
with a lot of line breaks. I suspect to make the view in the source
window more readable.

But how can I get rid of the line breaks when the text goes into another
editor?

Thanks for your replies!

 Debian Lenny, with i386 and version I have not problem and I can compile and 
run all alpha version.
 The problem appears now, with debian lenny amd64 and new qt 4.6.3, but this qt 
not came with lenny. I download, compile and install.
 With lyx 1.6.7 I have not problem.
 May be a path?

  The file: libQtGui.so.4, is present in my hard disc.
  I have not problem with lyx 1.6.7.
  I think that I have a PATH not defined, but I don´t know which path because

What distro linux you have ?. I am test all alpha version and compile 
without problem. Also I  test with lyx-devel and update with git svn 
without problem, in Mandriva distro.

problems with section spacing and getting unstarred sections into toc

[Bok Young Hoon]

Hi everyone:
I am just trying to finish putting the chapters of my thesis together and
seem to be running into some problems:

1. the spacing between sections seem to be inconsistent (there would be
large (vertical) spaces between some sections (or in this case subsections)
and very small spaces between others) - is there anything I can do about
this?

2. does anyone know how I can get unstarred sections to appear in the table
of contents?

Thanks in advance for all your help with this.

This seems to be independent of the images in your document. If you send me a (if possible _small_) 
version of your file by private mail, I will have a look.

Noweb Sweave question: Need help to copy folder from lyx temp back to current document directory.

[Paul Johnson]

In Sweave, we process a noweb document first through R to generate the
tex file, and then the usual processing occurs.

Because not all LyX/LaTeX systems have the noweb setup, it is
necessary for me to develop my document with Sweave/Lyx, and then save
the generated files (in a folder "plots") and use them in the final
document without invoking Sweave.  I do this with LyX branches. I have
a branch for the Sweave commands that generates the files in "plots",
and then I have \includegraphics{} or \input{} as needed.

It mostly works fine, there is just a wrinkle that bothers me. So far,
I have just used brute force to copy the whole "plots" folder from the
working directory back to the document root with a command inside the
document itself.

<>=
system("rsync -ra plots /home/pauljohn/ps/ps707/Workbook/Workbook-plot")
@

That is OK, except I have to "hardcode" the document directory.  And
no matter what I do, it seems like I have to process the document
through latex twice. The first time I run the process in LyX, it runs
the document through R Sweave and it makes the plots, but when the
pdflatex run happens,


LaTeX Error: Cannot determine size of grpahic in plots/plot-gss.pdf

After that, I check the plots folder in the document directory and the
files are copied over.  But they are not there "fast enough" to make
pdflatex happy? Really?

I was thinking there must be some work around in LyX config.  It the
LyX documents, I find info on converters and copiers and  $$p or  $$r.

The converter in .lyx/preferences, I have converters like so:

#
# CONVERTERS SECTION ##
#

\converter "literate" "latex" "R CMD Sweave $$i" ""
\converter "literate" "pdflatex" "R CMD Sweave $$i" ""
\converter "literate" "r" "R CMD Stangle $$i" ""
##

Put the copy on the end of the converter:

\converter "literate" "pdflatex" "R CMD Sweave $$i && cp -R plots $$r" ""

I believe it SHOULD work. The plot folder DOES get copied over.
However,  still not fast enough. I still see LaTeX errors:

LaTeX Error: Cannot determine size of graphic in plots/plot-gss.pdf

If I run everything through again, then the document goes get created.

But this is bad because the whole project has to be run through the R
Sweave process two times.

What do you think?

If you tell me how to fix this, I will feel happy.  In return, I will
show you the LyX file that uses Frank Harrell's Sweavel.sty (Sweave
using the listings class), which is nicer looking:

how to add a caption to a Box inset?

[Justin Wood]

Hi all. I've had a look around but can't seem to find an answer to this
one... I want to create a regular ole framed box (you know, as a
self-contained area for 'aside' or 'extra info' type content), but I can't
figure out how to give it a useful automatic identifier. As in, following
the same naming format that Figure captions do: Box 1, or Box 1.1, etc, and
have this displayed in the top part of the box somewhere.

I've just used Insert —> Box (as minipage). If I attempt to insert a
caption, LyX warns me that would be 'Senseless!!!', and doesn't generate
anything other than the caption text (no numbering). I tried wrapping the
box in a float, which then allowed me to insert a caption, but this of
course is treated as a *Figure*, which is not what I'm after (and would mess
up the numbering for any subsequent real figures).

Any help much appreciated!

latex source with line breaks

[Jannick Asmus]

Hi,

copying the latex text from the source window provides the text, but
with a lot of line breaks. I suspect to make the view in the source
window more readable.

But how can I get rid of the line breaks when the text goes into another
editor?

Thanks for your replies!
