Re: Getting lyx to recognise biber

[Roey Angel]

Thanks for the tip, Scott.
I managed to get the lyx 2.0.3 working but I'm still getting that error
Package keyval Error: hash undefined.
Also, after I revert back to bibtex8 (by changing to backend=bibtex8 in the
preamble and changing to Bibliography generator bibtex8 in Document setting) lyx
won't process the bibliography. It doesnt give an error, it simply runs through
and then gives a document without ref. list with the refs. in bibtex code 
format.
To fix it I have to delete the \bibliography{} line in the preamble and then put
it back.

Any ideas why that it happening?

The other problem I have that my references under bibtex8 look wrong.
my preamble line is: 
\usepackage[style=authoryear,natbib=true,backend=bibtex8]{biblatex}

but the document output looks like this 
...make up as much as 44% of the land surface Verstraete and Schwartz(1991)

instead of
...make up as much as 44% of the land surface (Verstraete and Schwartz 1991)
as I would expect and as is shown in:
http://wiki.lyx.org/BibTeX/Biblatex#using-biber

Any suggestions will be more than welcome

How to get longtables to work?

[Gerhardus Geldenhuis]

Hi
The settings for longtables is disabled when I try to access them...

After reading http://wiki.lyx.org/Layouts/Modules
I place the the longtables module in ~/.lyx, reconfigured my tools in Lyx
and restarted it.
The module has unfortunately not appeared in the documents- settings and
longtables are still disabled.

Am I missing something? It seems a bit strange to have a menu item as part
of the default program but disabled and requiring you to manually install a
module.

How to create a more than one page long table

[Alex Vergara Gil]

Hello lyxers!

I'm not quite new to lyx but I'm still considering myself as newbie, may 
anyone tell me how can I set up a long table which occupy more than one 
page, so it has (the same) headings on every page? I'm refusing to 
create more than one table guessing where it start a new page.

LyX on Windows with UNC home directories

[Matthias Hunstig]

Dear LyX users and developers,

LyX has a problem with Windows users that have their home directory on a UNC 
path. http://wiki.lyx.org/LyX/Troubleshooting mentions these problems for Lyx 
1.5 already. (Recent versions do start, but have no classes available.)

I have been struggling with this for a long time. The workaround described in 
the link (saving some steps by running configure.py directly from the 
AppData\Lyx2.0 folder) worked for me on Windows XP.

Now, on Windows 7, it does not work anymore. Today, I have done some 
experiments but unfortunately not found a solution yet.
What I have found out is that

-  Under local users, LyX states ~\AppData\Roaming\Lyx2.0 as the user 
directory. I have not seen the tilde on Windows before, but it works.

-  Under network users, it states 
\\server\user\ntdata\Anwendungsdaten\LyX2.0file:///\\server\user\ntdata\Anwendungsdaten\LyX2.0
 as the user directory.

-  Running reconfigure from LyX as the network user gives some messages 
in the status line that can be traced back to the fact that cmd.exe does not 
accept UNC folders.

Is there any way to reliably make LyX run as a user with a UNC home directory? 
Could it help to just give LyX a different user directory to work in? If so, 
how can that be done?

I think this issue really needs to be fixed soon - People with home directories 
on serves are not uncommon and LyX is practically unusable for them.

Regards

Matthias

Re: Getting lyx to recognise biber

[stefano franchi]

Roey,

have you tried using the biblatex module for LyX? That module allows
you to use different natbib-like biblatex commands to change the
format of your citation.
I normally use biblatex's authoryear style (with the natbib option)
and change the appearance of the citation depending on its context by
right-clicking on the reference.

Cheers,

Re: Getting lyx to recognise biber

Hi Stefano,
sure I'm using the biblatex module; that's the only way to get it working in 
lyx.
I also use the natbib=true options and still get that wrong output.
When I hover over a citation in the text it says no bibliography defined and
when click on it I get the citation dialogue box but I can't change the citation
style under formatting. 

I'm parsing citations from zotero through lyz plug-in and I wonder if that has
something to do with it.

If I understand your problem correctly, you want a a citation to appear as:

this is some that cites a book (Lastname, 1990)

which, in Latex with biblatex using the natbib option and a reference
with Lastname1990 as key would be:

this is some text that cites a book \citep{Lastname1990}

Have you tried checking the Latex source in LyX (ViewView Source),
to see whether you get the correct Latex command?

If that is the case, then I would look at the output of the latex
compilation (DocumentLatex log) for possible biblatex warnings

If all else fails, could you make a prepare a minimal example with the
wrong behavior (one paragraph, one citation) and post it?

Cheers,

Stefano

Re: Getting lyx to recognise biber

[Roey Angel]

Hi Stefano,
sure I'm using the biblatex module; that's the only way to get it working in 
lyx.
I also use the natbib=true options and still get that wrong output.
When I hover over a citation in the text it says no bibliography defined and
when click on it I get the citation dialogue box but I can't change the citation
style under formatting. 

I'm parsing citations from zotero through lyz plug-in and I wonder if that has
something to do with it.

If I understand your problem correctly, you want a a citation to appear as:

this is some that cites a book (Lastname, 1990)

which, in Latex with biblatex using the natbib option and a reference
with Lastname1990 as key would be:

this is some text that cites a book \citep{Lastname1990}

Have you tried checking the Latex source in LyX (ViewView Source),
to see whether you get the correct Latex command?

If that is the case, then I would look at the output of the latex
compilation (DocumentLatex log) for possible biblatex warnings

If all else fails, could you make a prepare a minimal example with the
wrong behavior (one paragraph, one citation) and post it?

Cheers,

Stefano

You might want to try 
\vfuzz 

I never played with that myself, though.

Or simply enlarge the text height (via geometry). Maybe geometry even allows 
rubber lengths. I did not check that.

Re: Getting lyx to recognise biber

[Roey Angel]

Thanks for the tip, Scott.
I managed to get the lyx 2.0.3 working but I'm still getting that error
Package keyval Error: hash undefined.
Also, after I revert back to bibtex8 (by changing to backend=bibtex8 in the
preamble and changing to Bibliography generator bibtex8 in Document setting) lyx
won't process the bibliography. It doesnt give an error, it simply runs through
and then gives a document without ref. list with the refs. in bibtex code 
format.
To fix it I have to delete the \bibliography{} line in the preamble and then put
it back.

Any ideas why that it happening?

The other problem I have that my references under bibtex8 look wrong.
my preamble line is: 
\usepackage[style=authoryear,natbib=true,backend=bibtex8]{biblatex}

but the document output looks like this 
...make up as much as 44% of the land surface Verstraete and Schwartz(1991)

instead of
...make up as much as 44% of the land surface (Verstraete and Schwartz 1991)
as I would expect and as is shown in:
http://wiki.lyx.org/BibTeX/Biblatex#using-biber

Any suggestions will be more than welcome

How to get longtables to work?

[Gerhardus Geldenhuis]

Hi
The settings for longtables is disabled when I try to access them...

After reading http://wiki.lyx.org/Layouts/Modules
I place the the longtables module in ~/.lyx, reconfigured my tools in Lyx
and restarted it.
The module has unfortunately not appeared in the documents-> settings and
longtables are still disabled.

Am I missing something? It seems a bit strange to have a menu item as part
of the default program but disabled and requiring you to manually install a
module.

How to create a more than one page long table

[Alex Vergara Gil]

Hello lyxers!

I'm not quite new to lyx but I'm still considering myself as newbie, may 
anyone tell me how can I set up a long table which occupy more than one 
page, so it has (the same) headings on every page? I'm refusing to 
create more than one table guessing where it start a new page.


thnx in advance

On the Web, I've read that people who were getting that error had an
outdated biblatex version installed. Please try to update biblatex to
the most recent version. Also note that biber versions are tighly
related to biblatex versions. The respective documentations (biber and
bilatex, resp.) tell you which version of each other they require.

LyX on Windows with UNC home directories

[Matthias Hunstig]

Dear LyX users and developers,

LyX has a problem with Windows users that have their home directory on a UNC 
path. http://wiki.lyx.org/LyX/Troubleshooting mentions these problems for Lyx 
1.5 already. (Recent versions do start, but have no classes available.)

I have been struggling with this for a long time. The workaround described in 
the link (saving some steps by running configure.py directly from the 
AppData\Lyx2.0 folder) worked for me on Windows XP.

Now, on Windows 7, it does not work anymore. Today, I have done some 
experiments but unfortunately not found a solution yet.
What I have found out is that

-  Under local users, LyX states "~\AppData\Roaming\Lyx2.0" as the user 
directory. I have not seen the tilde on Windows before, but it works.

-  Under network users, it states 
"\\server\user\ntdata\Anwendungsdaten\LyX2.0"
 as the user directory.

-  Running reconfigure from LyX as the network user gives some messages 
in the status line that can be traced back to the fact that cmd.exe does not 
accept UNC folders.

Is there any way to reliably make LyX run as a user with a UNC home directory? 
Could it help to just give LyX a different user directory to work in? If so, 
how can that be done?

I think this issue really needs to be fixed soon - People with home directories 
on serves are not uncommon and LyX is practically unusable for them.

Regards

Matthias

You're probably missing some libraries, are you getting any errors when running

Re: Getting lyx to recognise biber

[Roey Angel]

Vielen Dank Jürgen! That totally did the trick.
lyx now processes everything correctly with biber.
Still my problem is the output.
no matter what style I choose, the citation in text always includes the names
outside brackets. So using style=authortitle I get
...make up as much as 44% of the land surface Verstraete and Schwartz(1991)
and using style=numeric I get:
...make up as much as 44% of the land surface Verstraete and Schwartz[1]


instead of
...make up as much as 44% of the land surface (Verstraete and Schwartz 1991)
or
...make up as much as 44% of the land surface [1]

Any ideas how to solve that 

Thanks again,

Re: How to create a more than one page long table

[Alex Vergara Gil]

OK, that works!! It was the floating table which doesn't behave as I 
want, but now I have a new issue with this: in the floating table I was 
able to produce the table description with a label to reference (for 
example as table 1), how do I do this now?? And more how can I produce a 
table description on each page with a personalized foot (for example 
adding the word Continuation... on every page but first). I'm sorry if 
these are naive questions but I'm stuck on this.

Hi
Firstly I discovered that if the table is in a float you can't make it 
a long table. Select the line that you want to be the header, right 
click more -> settings. Go to the long table tab and play around with 
the settings there. It is fairly self explanatory and I managed to get 
done what you are asking.

Re: How to create a more than one page long table

[Alex Vergara Gil]

Thanks Ignacio

 I will do it but I partially solve the problem by unfloating the 
table, what happens now is that I cannot referentiate it as I do in the 
floating table and I have an additional issue which is common: have a 
table description personalized for each page adding the word 
"Continuation..." in the description except in the first page, does 
anyone know how to proceed in this case

Re: Getting lyx to recognise biber

[stefano franchi]

Roey,

have you tried using the biblatex module for LyX? That module allows
you to use different natbib-like biblatex commands to change the
format of your citation.
I normally use biblatex's authoryear style (with the natbib option)
and change the appearance of the citation depending on its context by
right-clicking on the reference.

Cheers,

Stefano
