eps graphics fails when displaying in pdf mode if inserted by ERT \includegraphics

[Gunnar]

Hello,

I'm having problem in LyX 2.0.0rc3 (ubuntu has some lag) with a very simple 
test document.

I insert an eps file with Insert - Graphics and I can display the document as 
a pdf file (pdflatex) and as a ps file.
That works fine,
Then I add an ERT

{\includegraphics{venn5.eps}

and it works when displaying as ps file but viewing as pdf file gives me the 
error


! LaTeX Error: Unknown graphics extension: .eps.

See the LaTeX manual or LaTeX Companion for explanation.
Type  H return  for immediate help.
 ...  
  
l.17 {\includegraphics{venn5.eps}
 
Try typing  return  to proceed.
If that doesn't work, type  X return  to quit.



How can I make LyX work with ERT and pdf? (Yes, I need ERT)

Well, I exported a LaTeX file and the difference was really just the  four 
letters:

.eps

I removed them and, voilá, problem solved!

So I'd like to re-phrase  my original question:

why isn't the filename extension .eps  allowed?
How can I solve that problem?

 No need to worry. In case it's still unclear: Just go to Preferences 
 Paths and change the field for Document templates to
 /Applications/LyX.app/Contents/Resources/templates/


I needed to make that point to the layouts directory to get it to work.

Alternatively, in case you are planning modify those templates by hand,
 leave the above field unchanged, but instead copy all the files from the
 above directory in the Application package into the folder
 $HOME/Library/Application Support/LyX-2.0/templates/

 Then you can edit those templates, and add new ones, without risk of having
 them overwritten by a LyX update.


I may alter things in the future  but for the moment I'm content to use the
layouts and templates provided in the system directory.

localizing lyx

[Alain DIDIERJEAN]

Following the openrc update in gentoo amd64, all locale variables suddenly 
vanished. I created a /etc/env.d/02locale file which includes 
LANG=fr_FR.UTF-8.
lyx loads with english menus. It's only after exporting LANG from .bashrc that 
I can launch it from a shell with its french menus. To achieve the same effect 
from KDE menu, I have to set the launch command to LANG=fr_FR.UTF-8 lyx.
My preference would be a global setting (as it used to be), as all users on my 
machine are french.
I have the same problem with most of the apps.
Any comments ?

When you set the reference use the field Format in the reference dialog to 
set the brackets.

For more details about the formula numbering, see sec. 19 Formula Numbering of the Math manual

I can confirm the bug. Nothing needs to be done to Francesco's file.  The bottom
border of the merged cell does not appear in the LaTeX output.  I would expect
\hline after the second row of the table, but the LaTeX output from LyX has
\cline covering only the second and third columns.  (I was using LyX 2.0 rc1 for
this.)

pdftex process on MAC OSX Lyx 2.0.0

[Robert Betz]

I was wondering if other users have noticed that pdftex continues to run after 
one closes down Lyx 2.0.0 on MAC OSX.  It consumes 100% of one of the CPUs on 
my machine, and I have to do a Forced Quit to stop it.  I have tried this on 
two different machines, and am getting the same effect. I only noticed it when 
my music started to splutter and I found I had several pdftex process ruing 
consuming huge amounts of CPU when I was not running Lyx.

pdftex process on MAC OSX Lyx 2.0.0 - more

[Robert Betz]

Tried uninstalling Lyx 2.0.0 and reinstalled Lyx 1.6.10 and also 1.6.9.  All 
doing the same thing (pdftex not closing and using 100% CPU), so it may be my 
system.  Doing on two though. The parent process for pdftex is Python, whose 
parent in turn is Lyx. When Lyx closes down, Python closes but pdftex is not 
closing.  Maybe there is some problem with my installation of Python. It 
appears to be using Python 2.6

Eq. (1)


When you set the reference use the field Format in the reference dialog to 
set the brackets.

For more details about the formula numbering, see sec. 19 Formula Numbering of the Math manual 
that you find in LyX's help menu.

This file doesn't contain errors, only warnings.

ModernCV only works correctly with PDF, not with DVI. So view it as PDF and it

If not, please send me your LyX file.

I can confirm the bug. Nothing needs to be done to Francesco's file.  The bottom
border of the merged cell does not appear in the LaTeX output.  I would expect
\hline after the second row of the table, but the LaTeX output from LyX has
\cline covering only the second and third columns.  (I was using LyX 2.0 rc1 for
this.)

pdftex process on MAC OSX Lyx 2.0.0

[Robert Betz]

I was wondering if other users have noticed that pdftex continues to run after 
one closes down Lyx 2.0.0 on MAC OSX.  It consumes 100% of one of the CPUs on 
my machine, and I have to do a Forced Quit to stop it.  I have tried this on 
two different machines, and am getting the same effect. I only noticed it when 
my music started to splutter and I found I had several pdftex process ruing 
consuming huge amounts of CPU when I was not running Lyx.

pdftex process on MAC OSX Lyx 2.0.0 - more

[Robert Betz]

Tried uninstalling Lyx 2.0.0 and reinstalled Lyx 1.6.10 and also 1.6.9.  All 
doing the same thing (pdftex not closing and using 100% CPU), so it may be my 
system.  Doing on two though. The parent process for pdftex is Python, whose 
parent in turn is Lyx. When Lyx closes down, Python closes but pdftex is not 
closing.  Maybe there is some problem with my installation of Python. It 
appears to be using Python 2.6

eps graphics fails when displaying in pdf mode if inserted by ERT \includegraphics

[Gunnar]

Hello,

I'm having problem in LyX 2.0.0rc3 (ubuntu has some lag) with a very simple 
test document.

I insert an eps file with Insert -> Graphics and I can display the document as 
a pdf file (pdflatex) and as a ps file.
That works fine,
Then I add an ERT

{\includegraphics{venn5.eps}

and it works when displaying as ps file but viewing as pdf file gives me the 
error


! LaTeX Error: Unknown graphics extension: .eps.

See the LaTeX manual or LaTeX Companion for explanation.
Type  H   for immediate help.
 ...  
  
l.17 {\includegraphics{venn5.eps}
 
Try typingto proceed.
If that doesn't work, type  X   to quit.



How can I make LyX work with ERT and pdf? (Yes, I need ERT)

Well, I exported a LaTeX file and the difference was really just the  four 
letters:

.eps

I removed them and, voilá, problem solved!

So I'd like to re-phrase  my original question:

why isn't the filename extension .eps  allowed?
How can I solve that problem?

For the Wiki I'll have a password please. The English there isn't truly
English; Franglais, Swedlish, Germlist maybe but not English. And definitely
not English that a new user is going to follow.

And of yes, the old "we're an open source project" so when we cock something

I needed to make that point to the layouts directory to get it to work.

Yes, my first thought was also teh Wiki, particularly the FAQ [1]
pages. Previously it was a messy collection of 'Unsorted FAQ', but it
has since been cleaned up a bit. It contains tons of useful tips and
could probably be improved. It might need to get advertised more, so
that people knew where to look.

The folder the dialog box "New From Template" displays is configurable in user 
the preferences.
So, Bennett cannot know what folder you're talking about.

Yes, these folders are for your personal work. At first they are empty.
The problem is as I already explained in my other mail: we cannot have both
the system and the user templates directories as start directory in a dialog.

Isn't it somewhat related with Christian ideas? I'm missing it in this

localizing lyx

[Alain DIDIERJEAN]

Following the openrc update in gentoo amd64, all locale variables suddenly 
vanished. I created a /etc/env.d/02locale file which includes 
LANG="fr_FR.UTF-8".
lyx loads with english menus. It's only after exporting LANG from .bashrc that 
I can launch it from a shell with its french menus. To achieve the same effect 
from KDE menu, I have to set the launch command to LANG="fr_FR.UTF-8" lyx.
My preference would be a global setting (as it used to be), as all users on my 
machine are french.
I have the same problem with most of the apps.
Any comments ?

When you set the reference use the field "Format" in the reference dialog to

doing the same thing (pdftex not closing and using 100% CPU), so it may be my
