Liviu is right. It is fixedintrunk: http://www.lyx.org/trac/ticket/8442

Hi

Sorry not to get back quicker. Yes the problem was a defaults file in 
templates I had made the mistake of assuming that if I pressed Save as 
Document Defaults button only the screen I was on would be saved, in my 
instance, the Language.


Interestingly pressing the Use Class defaults button does'nt reset the 
module list and the preamble for instance.


Thanks for the reply

If you create a new document and go to Document  Settings...  Modules, is
one of the AMS theorem modules in the selected category? If so, try
deselecting it and saving as default settings.

Many thanks for both your and Ray's help.  I read through both and tried yours 
first and you were right.  I had thought that I had I had changed that setting 
but I had not.  For some reason I seem to hit cancel rather than save in LyX

This latter option seems most likely to me. This is the major drawback in my 
opinion of the current way of using biblatex. As I recall, you have to set your 
biblatex options under tools-preferences-output-LaTeX-Bibliography 
generation. What I would personally prefer is the ability to set this option on 
a per-document basis. Unfortunately, this does not seem to be the case. I'm 
guessing that setting the processor back to bibtex should solve the problem.


Ray's suggestion will probably work, but it would be good to check those 
preferences to see if that is in fact the source of the problem.


I hope this helps,

Indeed, the moving of the directories completely resets LyX (think of
how you will do the same thing on Windows; removing stuff from
%APPDATA%). On Linux and other GNU systems, ~/ (as dot files) and
~/.config are common config dumping grounds.

It's usually just a quick fix to check whether the program actually

system have not changed), but I suggested it on the presumption that
it would be followed by a comparison of the original and existing

I have installed git but while trying to clone the repositories to my
local directory I get an error message as:

Cloning into 'lyx'...
error: Proxy CONNECT aborted while accessing https://git.lyx.org/lyx/info/refs

I however created my own repository on github and was able to clone it.

I tried searching the web as well as the Lyx resources but was not
able to find the solution.

you create or open any document and click Document > Settings ..., you'll
see a "Save as Document Defaults" button. If you click that when you're in a
document that is setup to load AMS Theorem, that could become part of the
default settings when starting new documents.

If you create a new document and go to Document > Settings... > Modules, is
one of the AMS theorem modules in the selected category? If so, try
deselecting it and saving as default settings.

Sorry to take so long to get back to you.


@ Jacob,

Many thanks for both your and Ray's help.  I read through both and tried yours 
first and you were right.  I had thought that I had I had changed that setting 
but I had not.  For some reason I seem to hit cancel rather than save in LyX 
settings sometimes.  It took two tries just now. 


@ Ray
I am definitely going to save your post for my next emergency but what exactly 
does the code do? . Some kind of complete reset to default settings for a 
program?


I'm a newcomer to Linux and a lot of commands are not yet intuitive.

This latter option seems most likely to me. This is the major drawback in my 
opinion of the current way of using biblatex. As I recall, you have to set your 
biblatex options under tools->preferences->output->LaTeX->Bibliography 
generation. What I would personally prefer is the ability to set this option on 
a per-document basis. Unfortunately, this does not seem to be the case. I'm 
guessing that setting the processor back to bibtex should solve the problem.


Ray's suggestion will probably work, but it would be good to check those 
preferences to see if that is in fact the source of the problem.


I hope this helps,


Jacob

I'm glad that Jacob actually chimed in to suggest the simplest
approach first -- I should've mentioned that alongside as well.
Indeed, the moving of the directories completely resets LyX (think of
how you will do the same thing on Windows; removing stuff from
%APPDATA%). On Linux and other GNU systems, ~/ (as dot files) and
~/.config are common config dumping grounds.

It's usually just a "quick fix" to check whether the program actually
runs with default settings (provided its files in the root/admin file
system have not changed), but I suggested it on the presumption that
it would be followed by a comparison of the original and existing
configs. In short, this should be a last resort (which I had thought
was the case).

Ah I think I see what it does now.  I even think it makes some sense! At its 
most cryptic Linux is still easier than JCL.

Many thanks

Problem related to downloading repositories of Lyx

2013-04-23 Thread Abhishek Sharma 
Like you mentioned in the previous email I visited the website
http://www.lyx.org/HowToUseGIT
and I am also learning to use Lyx as well as QT.

I have installed git but while trying to clone the repositories to my
local directory I get an error message as:

Cloning into 'lyx'...
error: Proxy CONNECT aborted while accessing https://git.lyx.org/lyx/info/refs
fatal: HTTP request failed

I however created my own repository on github and was able to clone it.

I tried searching the web as well as the Lyx resources but was not
able to find the solution.
Kindly Guide me on this I am really interested in your project.
