Hi John,

the following may apply to your case (I use Archlinux instead of
Ubuntu). Try this at a prompt: which latex
it should give you the location of the most accessible executable. For
texlive, it usually resides in a folder (dir) just below

/usr/local/texlive/

if it is (as in my case)

/usr/local/texlive/2012/bin/x86_64-linux/latex
or

/usr/local/texlive//2012/bin/i386-linux/latex

then you have TL2012 installed. if you have "2011" instead of "2012"
in the path, then you have TL2011 installed. Ubuntu usually runs one
version behind, so I wouldn't be surprised if you found you have
TL2011 running on your system (besides, TL2012 came out just a few
weeks ago, I think).
Notice that you may have *both* TL2012 and TL2011 installed. In that
case, Lyx (in my experience, at least, there may be ways around this)
will use the the version that comes first in your $PATH. You could try
a command such as

find /  -path '/proc' -prune -perm /u=x,g=x,a=x ! -type d -name latex

to find out. It should give a list of all executable latex files on
your system (it will take a while to run if you have large and/or
multiple drives. Linux gurus on this list may provide a more elegant
command). If you have more than one, you may want to try echo $PATH at
a prompt to find out the order in which directories are searched.

tlmgr requires writing privileges to system directories. You must run
it with 'sudo' in front (or one if its graphic-enabled equivalents
like kdesu, depending on your system's configuration)

To your last question:

a) make sure you have TL2012 AND
b) make sure the 2012 is the most accessible (i.e. which latex reports
a string containing '2012' in the path)

then

c) reconfigure lix
d) close and restart lyx.

e) check your work by looking into Tools>TeX information (and be sure
to tick the "show path" checkbox



Hope it helps,

Stefano

LyX andTeX Live: How to find and link a new latex version?

[John Kane]

 
I am a
complete Linux /Ubuntu newbie so  please bear with me.  I probably
should be asking this on an Ubuntu forum but since I have linux &
LyX question I thought that I'd try here first.
I
currently am, or at least think I am using TeXLive2011 with LyX
2.0.2. 
I have just installed TeXLive 2012on Ubuntu 12.04
using the Ubuntu Software Centre and I would like to find it and make
it the default LaTeX for LyX.  As a check I loaded synaptics and it
seems to feel that I have TeXLive 2012 installed but does not seem to
see TeXLive 2011. 
TeXLive
2011 seems to be in usr/share/lyx but I don't seem to see the 2012
version unless it is in
/home/documents/install-tl-20110511/tlpkg/Texlive. 
In the
mean time below are a few things I have tried to see what is
happening.  To me it looks like I have a known path to the 2011
installation but where the blazes is the 2012 version?   I'll worry
about write privileges later. 


So two
questions:
How to I
find TeXLive 2012?
How do I
make TeXLive 2012 my default latex for LyX?


Thanks

Hello,

I tried it with "figure" now in the preamble:

\newref{figure}{refcmd={Bild auf Seite \pageref{#1}}}


The document language is English. But it does not work either.


Btw., did you notice we did not write to the mailing list for the last
messages?

What do I need to do?

Stephan,

  I'll build and run this version; perhaps not today, but I'll let everyone
know if it fixes the problem.

Re: headers with fancy option are repeated beyond TOC

The best advice is probably to read the fancy headings documentation. :-)

With that said when I use koma-script I defined the headings for normal
pages and also for "empty" style pages by enclosing the definition on
\fancypagestyle .

Something like:

\fancypagestyle{plain}{%

\fancyhf{} % clear all header and footer fields

\renewcommand{\headrulewidth}{0.0pt}

\renewcommand{\footrulewidth}{0pt}
}


I am not sure if this helps but here you have my 0.02€. :-)

Mind, that this produces an *upright* bold symbol, while most style gides
in science and engineering expect *italic bold* for vector and Matrix
symbols. This can be achieved with the "isomath" package
http://www.ctan.org/pkg/isomath (See
http://mirror.ctan.org/macros/latex/contrib/isomath/isomath.html for
examples and details.)

This is LaTeX preamble code for isomath with default settings:

\usepackage{isomath}
\renewcommand{\vec}{\vectorsym}
