Are you perhaps using the Debian distribution of linux?

I tried your example, and it failed like you say. No index.
Then I tried the UserGuide that comes with LyX, and it also failed to 
produce an index.


I use Debian testing, and it turns out they ship a broken clisp 
package. When LyX makes an index, it uses a package called xindy, 
which in turn depends on clisp. When clisp is wrong, the index is not 
produced.


clisp-2.49 does not work, but clisp-2.48 is fine. So the solution is to 
downgrade to clisp-2.48. On debian, this command did it for me:


apt-get install clisp=1:2.48-3

Or just download the software and install it yourself.

After this, both the userguide and your file produced indexes as they 
should.

How to find classes and styles Install of texlive installed in $HOME?

[Rainer M Krug]

Hi

I am under ubuntu and have texlive installed via apt-get but also manually
installed texlive2011 in $HOME/texlive.

I adjusted the paths and the binaries are found from LyX, but I can't
convince LyX to find the LaTeX classes and styles in the installation of
texlive2011. How can I tell LyX to find (and utilise) these classes?

Cheers,

Hello,

I'm looking for numbering all equations involved in a cases envirnoment. This

   2. Do xypic diagrams with anything sophisticated in the cells.
   3. Do matrices with anything sophisticated in the cells.


I agree.
The purist idea is that normal text should not have a scrollbar. No 
attempt is made to break lines the same way as on paper so text is 
simply broken into lines to fit the current window width.


And that is fine for text, and scrollbars are never needed for text.

But Lyx handles much more than text these days. Tables sidescrolls in 
big jumps to keep the cursor on screen, but doesn't work all that well. 
Expecially not if some columns is very wide.


So a scrollbar (or other userfriendly means of sidescrolling) would be 
nice. There is the above mentioned math stuff, there is big images, 
there is all sorts of source code listings. . .

Re: LyX causes Acrobat Reader Freeze (?)

[Paul A. Rubin]

I uninstalled acroread (from the Natty repository) and downloaded and 
installed it from Adobe.  No joy there.  It turns out there's a bug 
relating to the ia32-libs package that affects acroread and some other 
programs.  Apparently acroread (which is a 32 bit app) does not find the 
ia32 libraries and instead tries to load the 64-bit versions.  If I run 
acroread from a terminal, it spews a bunch of error messages about this 
but still somehow loads and displays the PDF files correctly.  It's 
possible that, when run by LyX, this causes the freeze.


Also possibly related, if somewhat obscure: I moved my 
~/.adobe/Acrobat/9.0 directory and then tried View  PDF (pdflatex) from 
LyX.  Reader thought this was the first time it was being used and gave 
me the license agreement dialog.  Clicking Accept had no effect -- it 
was already frozen.  I had to kill it, run acroread from a terminal and 
accept the license there.


This is beyond my technical chops, so as a workaround I'll just use 
Evince when viewing PDFs from LyX and use Acrobat Reader to check the 
final exported PDFs (since my victims are all Reader users).


Thanks,
Paul

2 questions: \documentclass[english,magyar] and \DeclareRobustCommand{\greektext}

[Csikos Bela]

Hello:

I am preparing a Hungarian document in lyx2.
The text is in unicode and has greek fonts.
I selected in document settingslanguage Hungarian language,
and use language package to custom \usepackage[magyar]{babel}.
Fonts are set to use non tex fonts via xetex/luatex.

My questions are:

1. Looking at the lyx source I found that the documentclass is set to
\documentclass[english,magyar]. Just after \begin{text} 
\selectlanguage{english} is set:

\begin{document}
\selectlanguage{english}

And only at the end of my text Hungarian is set:

\selectlanguage{magyar}

\end{document}

I don't understand this. Can it be the cause of wrong hyphenation?

2. As I said, the font is set to non-tex fonts.
Still lyx puts these lines in the preamble:

%% LyX specific LaTeX commands.
\DeclareRobustCommand{\greektext}{%
  \fontencoding{LGR}\selectfont\def\encodingdefault{LGR}}
\DeclareRobustCommand{\textgreek}[1]{\leavevmode{\greektext #1}}
\DeclareFontEncoding{LGR}{}{}
\DeclareTextSymbol{\~}{LGR}{126}

But I can't see a anywhere that the commands are used in the text.
Why are they in the preamble then?

Thanks,

Re: more on collaboration

[Monroe Weber-Shirk]

We would benefit greatly from a google docs version of Lyx. 
We frequently write papers and proposals collaboratively and 
we lose a fair amount of time by having to wait for someone
else to release the document for editing or we end up with 
multiple authors editing at the same time and creating havoc. 
I also lead about a dozen student teams and they would benefit 
from a collaborative UI for Lyx.

I'm no TeXpert, but TeX maintains a database of package locations, which it uses
when searching for a particular package. The texhash and mktexlsr commands (I
believe texhash is just an alias for mktexlsr) update that database by adding
files in or underneath the directory in which the command is run.  I'm not
positive, but I think they also remove from the database any previously added
directories that no longer exist.

Strange Latex error using bibtex citations

[André]

Hello.

I'm using LyX 2.0.0 on OSX. I'm having a strange error when I try to
view the PDF of my lyx file. I removed all the content and left only
the relevant parts that produce the error that are some 20 citations
and the corresponding bib file that has these references with no
content.

The error is:
{/usr/local/texlive/2010/texmf-var/fonts/map/pdftex/updmap/pdftex.map}]
Runaway argument?
URL(2011{\natexlab {{}})]{URLVendingWorld} 2011{\natexlab {{}}.
! Paragraph ended before \@lbibitem was complete.
to be read again
   \par
l.88

I suspect you've forgotten a `}', causing me to apply this
control sequence to too much text. How can we recover?
My plan is to forget the whole thing and hope for the best.

! Argument of \@lbibitem has an extra }.
inserted text
\par
l.92 \bibitem[URL(2011{\natexlab{}}}
)]{URLwxWidgets}
I've run across a `}' that doesn't seem to match anything.
For example, `\def\a#1{...}' and `\a}' would produce
this error. If you simply proceed now, the `\par' that
I've just inserted will cause me to report a runaway
argument that might be the root of the problem. But if
your `}' was spurious, just type `2' and it will go away.


If I change the references style from plainnat to plain the errors
disappear, but I would like to understand what is going on. If I
remove ANY reference, the error message changes. If I remove ANY 2
references, the errors also go away...

Attached is the simple lyx and bib files. Is this a LyX error or
should I be asking somewhere else?


Thank you,
André

The text is in unicode and has greek fonts.
I selected in document settingslanguage Hungarian language,
and use language package to custom \usepackage[magyar]{babel}.
Fonts are set to use non tex fonts via xetex/luatex.

My questions are:

1. Looking at the lyx source I found that the documentclass is set to
\documentclass[english,magyar]. Just after \begin{text} 
\selectlanguage{english} is set:

\begin{document}
\selectlanguage{english}

And only at the end of my text Hungarian is set:

\selectlanguage{magyar}

\end{document}

I don't understand this. Can it be the cause of wrong hyphenation?

2. As I said, the font is set to non-tex fonts.
Still lyx puts these lines in the preamble:

%% LyX specific LaTeX commands.
\DeclareRobustCommand{\greektext}{%
  \fontencoding{LGR}\selectfont\def\encodingdefault{LGR}}
\DeclareRobustCommand{\textgreek}[1]{\leavevmode{\greektext #1}}
\DeclareFontEncoding{LGR}{}{}
\DeclareTextSymbol{\~}{LGR}{126}

But I can't see a anywhere that the commands are used in the text.
Why are they in the preamble then?

Thanks,

bcsikos

Re: more on collaboration

[Monroe Weber-Shirk]

We would benefit greatly from a google docs version of Lyx. 
We frequently write papers and proposals collaboratively and 
we lose a fair amount of time by having to wait for someone
else to release the document for editing or we end up with 
multiple authors editing at the same time and creating havoc. 
I also lead about a dozen student teams and they would benefit 
from a collaborative UI for Lyx.

I'm no TeXpert, but TeX maintains a database of package locations, which it uses
when searching for a particular package. The texhash and mktexlsr commands (I
believe texhash is just an alias for mktexlsr) update that database by adding
files in or underneath the directory in which the command is run.  I'm not
positive, but I think they also remove from the database any previously added
directories that no longer exist.

Strange Latex error using bibtex citations

[André]

Hello.

I'm using LyX 2.0.0 on OSX. I'm having a strange error when I try to
view the PDF of my lyx file. I removed all the content and left only
the relevant parts that produce the error that are some 20 citations
and the corresponding bib file that has these references with no
content.

The error is:
{/usr/local/texlive/2010/texmf-var/fonts/map/pdftex/updmap/pdftex.map}]
Runaway argument?
URL(2011{\natexlab {{}})]{URLVendingWorld} 2011{\natexlab {{}}.
! Paragraph ended before \@lbibitem was complete.
to be read again
   \par
l.88

I suspect you've forgotten a `}', causing me to apply this
control sequence to too much text. How can we recover?
My plan is to forget the whole thing and hope for the best.

! Argument of \@lbibitem has an extra }.
inserted text
\par
l.92 \bibitem[URL(2011{\natexlab{}}}
)]{URLwxWidgets}
I've run across a `}' that doesn't seem to match anything.
For example, `\def\a#1{...}' and `\a}' would produce
this error. If you simply proceed now, the `\par' that
I've just inserted will cause me to report a runaway
argument that might be the root of the problem. But if
your `}' was spurious, just type `2' and it will go away.


If I change the references style from plainnat to plain the errors
disappear, but I would like to understand what is going on. If I
remove ANY reference, the error message changes. If I remove ANY 2
references, the errors also go away...

Attached is the simple lyx and bib files. Is this a LyX error or
should I be asking somewhere else?


Thank you,
André

I see that the attached document is similar to what I do, but I couldn't
export it because I lack a package (I get a "heck.sty"-not-found error).

Actually, my problem is that when I export my document the indexes
created manually don't appear in the PDF (or whatever format). For
example, in the attached document, I'd like to see the table of contents
and, below, another index with the "Important word" and the page where
it is. But when I export it, there's just the table of contents.

Thanks for your help.

Are you perhaps using the Debian distribution of linux?

I tried your example, and it failed like you say. No index.
Then I tried the UserGuide that comes with LyX, and it also failed to 
produce an index.


I use "Debian testing", and it turns out they ship a broken clisp 
package. When LyX makes an index, it uses a package called "xindy", 
which in turn depends on clisp. When clisp is wrong, the index is not 
produced.


clisp-2.49 does not work, but clisp-2.48 is fine. So the solution is to 
downgrade to clisp-2.48. On debian, this command did it for me:


apt-get install clisp=1:2.48-3

Or just download the software and install it yourself.

After this, both the userguide and your file produced indexes as they 
should.

How to find classes and styles Install of texlive installed in $HOME?

[Rainer M Krug]

Hi

I am under ubuntu and have texlive installed via apt-get but also manually
installed texlive2011 in $HOME/texlive.

I adjusted the paths and the binaries are found from LyX, but I can't
convince LyX to find the LaTeX classes and styles in the installation of
texlive2011. How can I tell LyX to find (and utilise) these classes?

Cheers,

Rainer

OK - found it.

Had to run

and it is working.

If I just could understand what these commands (texhash, mktexlsr, ..) are
doing, then I would no why...

Cases

[BADI-Hamid]

Hello,

I'm looking for numbering all equations involved in a cases envirnoment. This 
latter can only number the case envirnoment. With LaTeX, cases package offer an 
extension through numcases and subnumcases envirnoments to number all 
equations. Is there a way to use natively this package in LyX.

Best regards.

I know the purists think a horizontal scrollbar is somehow impure but
can we please please get one. It is not currently possible to:-

   1. Write long equation sequences inline in a proof when you want to

   2. Do xypic diagrams with anything sophisticated in the cells.
   3. Do matrices with anything sophisticated in the cells.


I agree.
The purist idea is that normal text should not have a scrollbar. No 
attempt is made to break lines "the same way as on paper" so text is 
simply broken into lines to fit the current window width.


And that is fine for text, and scrollbars are never needed for text.

But Lyx handles much more than text these days. Tables sidescrolls in 
big jumps to keep the cursor on screen, but doesn't work all that well. 
Expecially not if some columns is very wide.


So a scrollbar (or other userfriendly means of sidescrolling) would be 
nice. There is the above mentioned math stuff, there is big images, 
there is all sorts of source code listings. . .

Re: LyX causes Acrobat Reader Freeze (?)

[Paul A. Rubin]

I uninstalled acroread (from the Natty repository) and downloaded and 
installed it from Adobe.  No joy there.  It turns out there's a bug 
relating to the ia32-libs package that affects acroread and some other 
programs.  Apparently acroread (which is a 32 bit app) does not find the 
ia32 libraries and instead tries to load the 64-bit versions.  If I run 
acroread from a terminal, it spews a bunch of error messages about this 
but still somehow loads and displays the PDF files correctly.  It's 
possible that, when run by LyX, this causes the freeze.


Also possibly related, if somewhat obscure: I moved my 
~/.adobe/Acrobat/9.0 directory and then tried View > PDF (pdflatex) from 
LyX.  Reader thought this was the first time it was being used and gave 
me the license agreement dialog.  Clicking "Accept" had no effect -- it 
was already frozen.  I had to kill it, run acroread from a terminal and 
accept the license there.


This is beyond my technical chops, so as a workaround I'll just use 
Evince when viewing PDFs from LyX and use Acrobat Reader to check the 
final exported PDFs (since my victims are all Reader users).


Thanks,
Paul

Have you tried reinstalling acroread + removing ~/.adobe/Acrobat/
(consider backing up first)? You may also experiment with installing
.deb files of earlier versions, say 9.4.1. But I'm starting to run out
of ideas.

Not natively, no, so far as I know. But of course you can add LaTeX code

2 questions: \documentclass[english,magyar] and \DeclareRobustCommand{\greektext}
