 Thanks for the reply Uwe.
 
 I'm not clear if the beta is stable enough to replace 1.6.7? 

we don't recommend to use any of 2.0alpha/beta for serious work, thats why we
call them alpha/beta. the moment we feel some stability has been gained
we will release 2.0.

Sweave - No information for exporting the format PDF (pdflatex).

[Graham Smith]

I have just installed, Lyx/Sweave on ubuntu 10.04 on an Asus eeepc 901.

I have upgraded to Lyx 1.6.7 using the repository at

Followed the instructions at
http://ggorjan.blogspot.com/2010/01/lyx-sweave-on-ubuntu-karmic.html
to install SWeave etc, as I have done several times before, checked
that all the files are where the instructions say they should be, done
the texhash/reconfigure but get an

When I try to compile a file with this text


test
echo=T=
x-c(4,5,6,7,5,6,7,8,9)

The code chunk is in an ert box.

Has anyone any suggestions s to where I can look for the problem.

Many thanks,

Have you inserted the bibliography at the end of your document? I.e.: 
InsertLists/TOCBibTeX Bibliography, then select the BibTeX file and 
whatever bibliography style you want to use. Without that, LyX cannot 
access citations.


If you have done that, the problem may be that the LyX pipe is not set 
up correctly. I do not know how to do this on Windows, so if you are on 
Windows someone else will have to tell you. And I do not even know if it 
works on Windows in 1.6.x, though I know it will in 2.0. Anyway, on 
Linux or OSX, you can do this:


1. The LyX part. Go to ToolsPreferencesPaths. In the LyXServer Pipe 
field enter whatever you want, really. I have:

/home/rgheck/.lyxpipe
but you can put the pipe wherever you wish. LyX will then create two 
pipes on startup, one with the extension .in and one with the 
extension .out.


2. The JabRef part. Go to OptionsPreferencesExternal Programs and 
enter exactly the same thing you did in LyX. So I have 
/home/rgheck/.lyxpipe.


Now restart LyX and JabRef, so the new preferences take effect.

So you have not installed the LaTeX-package units to your LaTeX system. If you are on Windows all 
packages needed by LyX should automatically be installed when LyX is started the first time. I 
therefore assume that you are on Linux. If so, use the TeXLive package manager to install units.

(babel is not to blame here and amsmath is by default installed on all LaTeX 
systems.)

Highlighting Inproceedings references

a few conference citations. To see where I've used them

Is that because there is extra white space within/between table cells?  That
space can be reduced.

 Is there really no option to center 
 a graphical object?

Other than a table, the only solution I know is to put each image in a box
(minipage will do), set the box width and/or height appropriately, leave the
vertical content alignment at top (default) and set the vertical box alignment
to middle (every box).

Not really, and not in LaTeX either, unless you do something to your bst 
(bibliography style) file. That wouldn't be terribly hard, but editing 
the BibTeX language is not for the meek.


That said, maybe you can use the citation list in the outline view to do

If you are using jabref as the bib-manager, you could click on entrytype, 
which will sort them and you have all your incollections, articles or 
whatever listed in groups. If you have in your bibfile not only the 
references referred to in the document, use 
tools in jabref and 
New subdata base based on aux file
which gives you only those references which you have cited in the docu.

To find the actual citations in the docu, use Richards hint:

Re: bibliography

[Jacob Bishop]

Cristina,

I use jab-ref to manage my bibliographies for documents I create with LyX on
Windows XP and Windows, and occasionally Kubuntu. I have personally never
tried to configure the LyX pipe stuff or any of that.

I do exactly as Richard suggests, InsertLists/TOCBibTeX Bibliography,
then select the BibTeX file and whatever bibliography style you want to use.


That does everything I need. Then, if I want a citation, I just use
insertcitation. I'm guessing the extra stuff is to insert the citation
while in jab-ref or something. I've never seen the need though. For this
part, it's always worked for me right out of the box on both Windows
installations as well as Kubuntu.

I do have to admit though, I had trouble figuring out how to add citations
at first, but once I understood that I had to actually place the
bibliography in the file first, it made a lot of sense.

 Have you inserted the bibliography at the end of your document? I.e.:
 InsertLists/TOCBibTeX Bibliography, then select the BibTeX file and
 whatever bibliography style you want to use. Without that, LyX cannot access
 citations.

 If you have done that, the problem may be that the LyX pipe is not set up
 correctly. I do not know how to do this on Windows, so if you are on Windows
 someone else will have to tell you. And I do not even know if it works on
 Windows in 1.6.x, though I know it will in 2.0. Anyway, on Linux or OSX, you
 can do this:

 1. The LyX part. Go to ToolsPreferencesPaths. In the LyXServer Pipe
 field enter whatever you want, really. I have:
/home/rgheck/.lyxpipe
 but you can put the pipe wherever you wish. LyX will then create two pipes
 on startup, one with the extension .in and one with the extension .out.

 2. The JabRef part. Go to OptionsPreferencesExternal Programs and enter
 exactly the same thing you did in LyX. So I have /home/rgheck/.lyxpipe.

 Now restart LyX and JabRef, so the new preferences take effect.

we don't recommend to use any of 2.0alpha/beta for serious work, thats why we
call them alpha/beta. the moment we feel some stability has been gained
we will release 2.0.

Try starting LyX from a terminal window, and check the debug messages
there. They should be more verbose.

Liviu,

Thanks, all it says is

+Read the file doc/LaTeXConfig.lyx for more information.
gra...@eeepc-linux:~$ lyx
Error: Couldn't export file

No information for exporting the format PDF (pdflatex).


If I just use article class it compiles OK, its just when I change the class to

article Sweave noweb that I get the error, so it seems an Sweave issue.

[Graham Smith]

Liviu,

I have managed to fix this. The preferences file had downloaded as
preferences.txt.

But looking at my other installs, I noticed it has no extension, so I
deleted the ",txt", and everything now works.

Can't say I remember deleting this before, but its now working.

Thanks for your help..

Have you inserted the bibliography at the end of your document? I.e.: 
Insert>Lists/TOC>BibTeX Bibliography, then select the BibTeX file and 
whatever bibliography style you want to use. Without that, LyX cannot 
access citations.


If you have done that, the problem may be that the LyX pipe is not set 
up correctly. I do not know how to do this on Windows, so if you are on 
Windows someone else will have to tell you. And I do not even know if it 
works on Windows in 1.6.x, though I know it will in 2.0. Anyway, on 
Linux or OSX, you can do this:


1. The LyX part. Go to Tools>Preferences>Paths. In the "LyXServer Pipe" 
field enter whatever you want, really. I have:

/home/rgheck/.lyxpipe
but you can put the pipe wherever you wish. LyX will then create two 
pipes on startup, one with the extension ".in" and one with the 
extension ".out".


2. The JabRef part. Go to Options>Preferences>External Programs and 
enter exactly the same thing you did in LyX. So I have 
"/home/rgheck/.lyxpipe".


Now restart LyX and JabRef, so the new preferences take effect.

Hi!

I 've already tried that (before posting) but the images have to be smaller 
(too small for me) to fit in an A4 page. Is there really no option to "center" 
a graphical object?

Thanks a lot, Nikos

So you have not installed the LaTeX-package "units" to your LaTeX system. If you are on Windows all 
packages needed by LyX should automatically be installed when LyX is started the first time. I 
therefore assume that you are on Linux. If so, use the TeXLive package manager to install units.

(babel is not to blame here and amsmath is by default installed on all LaTeX 
systems.)

Highlighting Inproceedings references

[Joe Wright]

I am writing a review paper at the moment and need to prune out
a few conference citations. To see where I've used them
(so I can see which ones are really useful and which can be junked)
I'd like to highlight all citations that are to Inproceedings entries.

Is this possible in Lyx?

Thanks, Joe

Is that because there is extra white space within/between table cells?  That
space can be reduced.

> Is there really no option to "center" 
> a graphical object?

Other than a table, the only solution I know is to put each image in a box
(minipage will do), set the box width and/or height appropriately, leave the
vertical content alignment at top (default) and set the vertical box alignment
to "middle" (every box).

Not really, and not in LaTeX either, unless you do something to your bst 
(bibliography style) file. That wouldn't be terribly hard, but editing 
the BibTeX language is not for the meek.


That said, maybe you can use the citation list in the outline view to do 
what you need to do: Document>Outline, then choose "List of Citations" 
from the dropbox at the top.

If you are using jabref as the bib-manager, you could click on entrytype, 
which will sort them and you have all your incollections, articles or 
whatever listed in groups. If you have in your bibfile not only the 
references referred to in the document, use 
tools in jabref and 
New subdata base based on aux file
which gives you only those references which you have cited in the docu.

To find the actual citations in the docu, use Richards hint:

That said, maybe you can use the citation list in the outline view to do 
what you need to do: Document>Outline, then choose "List of Citations"

Re: bibliography

[Jacob Bishop]

Cristina,

I use jab-ref to manage my bibliographies for documents I create with LyX on
Windows XP and Windows, and occasionally Kubuntu. I have personally never
tried to configure the LyX pipe stuff or any of that.

I do exactly as Richard suggests, "Insert>Lists/TOC>BibTeX Bibliography,
then select the BibTeX file and whatever bibliography style you want to use.
"

That does everything I need. Then, if I want a citation, I just use
insert>citation. I'm guessing the extra stuff is to insert the citation
while in jab-ref or something. I've never seen the need though. For this
part, it's always worked for me right out of the box on both Windows
installations as well as Kubuntu.

I do have to admit though, I had trouble figuring out how to add citations
at first, but once I understood that I had to actually place the
bibliography in the file first, it made a lot of sense.
