Lyx v 2.0.6 unable to view files

[Rasmus K]

Hi!

I am having issues with lyx. Since an upgrade of my Ubuntu machine to
13.04, I am unable to view files. No files can be viewed. After pressing
view, the program just stalls. The output log is just (after pressing
new document and just writing test):


Running: pdflatex newfile1.tex  /dev/null
This is pdfTeX, Version 3.1415926-2.4-1.40.13 (TeX Live 2012/Debian)

entering extended mode
(./newfile1.tex
LaTeX2e 2011/06/27
Babel v3.8m and hyphenation patterns for english, dumylang,
noyphenation, loaded.




Nothing happens, but the rotating progress indicator in the lyx window
is animating. After a while, Lyx asks if I want to stop the process, and
then I get the following messages:

support/Systemcall.cpp (265): Systemcall: 'pdflatex newfile1.tex' did
not finish!
support/Systemcall.cpp (266): error The process timed out. It might be
restarted automatically.
support/Systemcall.cpp (267): status The process exited normally.

I have tried purging and reinstalling texlive* and lyx. I have tried
running pdflatex directly from the command line, and this works and
completes more or less instantly, producing a pdf. However, Lyx is
unable to view any type of format.

Any help from the list would be much appreciated.

Thanks,
Rasmus

Y.A.,

LyX creates a user directory for you, where it stores your
preferences and other local files. On my Windows 7 partition, the
user directory is C:\Users\Paul\AppData\Roaming\LyX2.0. If you have
trouble finding it, Help  About LyX should point you to it.

In that directory, there should be a text file named configure.log.
(If not, keep reading, I'll get to that case.) It's generated when
the Python configuration script runs. (This is script is both run at
installation and when you click Tools  Reconfigure in LyX.) In
it, you should see lines like the following:

INFO: checking for a Latex2e program... 
INFO: +checking for latex...  yes 
INFO: checking for a DVI postprocessing program... 
INFO: +checking for pplatex...  yes 

and eventually

INFO: checking for the pdflatex program... 
INFO: +checking for pdflatex...  yes 

If they read no, it means LyX failed to detect MiKTeX for some
reason. I've seen this happen when the user had Cygwin installed,
for instance. I don't know if it is still true, but Cygwin used to
come with a broken copy of LaTeX, and if Cygwin was in front of
MiKTeX on the system command path, LyX would test the Cygwin version
of latex.exe and conclude that there was no working LaTeX compiler
on the system.

If the log shows that LyX found MiKTeX ('yes' responses), go back to
a DOS prompt and run 'kpsewhich article.cls' (if the article class
is missing according to LyX) and make sure that MiKTeX finds it.
If that looks correct, or if the log file is missing, then I suggest
you cd to your LyX user directory and run the configuration script
in a DOS window. The command line will look something like the
following (allowing for the possibility that your installation path
is different):

C:\Program Files (x86)\LyX20\Python\python.exe C:\Program Files
(x86)\LyX20\Resources\configure.py

See if any error messages appear.

If yes, take a look at the log generated by the installer

I'm not on Windows, again, but the problem appears to be that there is

You should be able to configure manually. Open a DOS window and get into 
your user directory. Then run the configuration script manually, however 
you did it before.


Richard

Re: Document class missing after installation

[Paul A. Rubin]

You may need to add the path to Python to your system command path (so 
that it can find modules). In a DOS window, while in your LyX user 
directory, try the following:


set PATH=%PATH%;C:\Program Files(x86)\LyX20\Python\
python C:\Program Files (x86)\LyX 2.0\Resources\configure.py

Hopefully that will allow the script to execute.

Simple HTML converter/export

[Steve Litt]

Hi all,

I have no doubt the HTML exporters in LyX are exactly what I want to
make an eBook. A simple, mostly text website? Not so much. I was unable
to change div to p in my layout file -- it remained div regardless
of how I set HTMLTag. There were other things that meant I'd need to do
a lot of cleanup before a quickly typed LyX doc turned into a quick and
dirty HTML doc I could maybe modify slightly and then throw up on the
web, and that's just what I want for web page editing.

Just to make it clear, this is my personal itch and I'm going to do it.
But just in case others enjoy what I create (I created VimOutliner as a
personal itch and we saw how that turned out), I'd like to, to some
degree, know LyX best practices, or if those are to difficult for me,
LyX decent practices.

This will NOT be YAHC (Yet Another HTML Converter). It will be a small
subset of LyX's capabilities, purposed not to turn a document into
HTML, but to turn LyX into a quick to use HTML authoring tool for HTML
web pages. It will in no way try to replace the existing HTML
Converters, and from what I've seen so far, the existing HTML
converters would have a hard time replacing what I'm trying to make.

Due to my schedule, I can't start it til July. My plan of
attack is to start it as a separate shellscript that first exports to
LaTeX, and then turns the LaTeX into HTML, which should be fairly easy.
The first version will be a Vim/EX script -- these are what I use to do
complex text reformatting in one day, and they help me understand the
various steps that need to be done. The second step will be an
equivalent shellscript that's primarily a pipeline with bunches of grep
and sed commands, perhaps with some hand coded stuff thrown in.

The final version will be mostly hand coded. I could easily do it in
Lua, C or Python, and could be persuaded to do it in Perl or Ruby. Am I
correct in assuming that Python is the LyX project's scripting language
of choice, and stuff like what I'm talking about is preferred to be in
Python over C?

Thanks,

SteveT

Y.A.,

LyX creates a user directory for you, where it stores your
preferences and other local files. On my Windows 7 partition, the
user directory is C:\Users\Paul\AppData\Roaming\LyX2.0. If you have
trouble finding it, Help  About LyX should point you to it.

In that directory, there should be a text file named configure.log.
(If not, keep reading, I'll get to that case.) It's generated when
the Python configuration script runs. (This is script is both run at
installation and when you click Tools  Reconfigure in LyX.) In
it, you should see lines like the following:

INFO: checking for a Latex2e program... 
INFO: +checking for latex...  yes 
INFO: checking for a DVI postprocessing program... 
INFO: +checking for pplatex...  yes 

and eventually

INFO: checking for the pdflatex program... 
INFO: +checking for pdflatex...  yes 

If they read no, it means LyX failed to detect MiKTeX for some
reason. I've seen this happen when the user had Cygwin installed,
for instance. I don't know if it is still true, but Cygwin used to
come with a broken copy of LaTeX, and if Cygwin was in front of
MiKTeX on the system command path, LyX would test the Cygwin version
of latex.exe and conclude that there was no working LaTeX compiler
on the system.

If the log shows that LyX found MiKTeX ('yes' responses), go back to
a DOS prompt and run 'kpsewhich article.cls' (if the article class
is missing according to LyX) and make sure that MiKTeX finds it.
If that looks correct, or if the log file is missing, then I suggest
you cd to your LyX user directory and run the configuration script
in a DOS window. The command line will look something like the
following (allowing for the possibility that your installation path
is different):

C:\Program Files (x86)\LyX20\Python\python.exe C:\Program Files
(x86)\LyX20\Resources\configure.py

See if any error messages appear.

Is the MiKTeX bin directory on your system path? Can you
  run latex --version
at a DOS prompt (without supplying a path to MiKTeX) and

If yes, take a look at the log generated by the installer

You might want to publish the log to the list.

You may need to add the path to Python to your system command path (so 
that it can find modules). In a DOS window, while in your LyX user

set PATH=%PATH%;C:\Program Files(x86)\LyX20\Python\

Hopefully that will allow the script to execute.

Simple HTML converter/export

[Steve Litt]

Hi all,

I have no doubt the HTML exporters in LyX are exactly what I want to
make an eBook. A simple, mostly text website? Not so much. I was unable
to change div to p in my layout file -- it remained div regardless
of how I set HTMLTag. There were other things that meant I'd need to do
a lot of cleanup before a quickly typed LyX doc turned into a quick and
dirty HTML doc I could maybe modify slightly and then throw up on the
web, and that's just what I want for web page editing.

Just to make it clear, this is my personal itch and I'm going to do it.
But just in case others enjoy what I create (I created VimOutliner as a
personal itch and we saw how that turned out), I'd like to, to some
degree, know LyX best practices, or if those are to difficult for me,
LyX decent practices.

This will NOT be YAHC (Yet Another HTML Converter). It will be a small
subset of LyX's capabilities, purposed not to turn a document into
HTML, but to turn LyX into a quick to use HTML authoring tool for HTML
web pages. It will in no way try to replace the existing HTML
Converters, and from what I've seen so far, the existing HTML
converters would have a hard time replacing what I'm trying to make.

Due to my schedule, I can't start it til July. My plan of
attack is to start it as a separate shellscript that first exports to
LaTeX, and then turns the LaTeX into HTML, which should be fairly easy.
The first version will be a Vim/EX script -- these are what I use to do
complex text reformatting in one day, and they help me understand the
various steps that need to be done. The second step will be an
equivalent shellscript that's primarily a pipeline with bunches of grep
and sed commands, perhaps with some hand coded stuff thrown in.

The final version will be mostly hand coded. I could easily do it in
Lua, C or Python, and could be persuaded to do it in Perl or Ruby. Am I
correct in assuming that Python is the LyX project's scripting language
of choice, and stuff like what I'm talking about is preferred to be in
Python over C?

Thanks,

SteveT

See the attached. I've put the relevant layout into Document

Note that load order of layout stuff matters. You would need to

Lyx v 2.0.6 unable to view files

[Rasmus K]

Hi!

I am having issues with lyx. Since an upgrade of my Ubuntu machine to
13.04, I am unable to view files. No files can be viewed. After pressing
view, the program just stalls. The output log is just (after pressing
"new document" and just writing "test"):

"
Running: pdflatex "newfile1.tex" > /dev/null
This is pdfTeX, Version 3.1415926-2.4-1.40.13 (TeX Live 2012/Debian)
 restricted \write18 enabled.
entering extended mode
(./newfile1.tex
LaTeX2e <2011/06/27>
Babel  and hyphenation patterns for english, dumylang,
noyphenation, loaded.


"

Nothing happens, but the rotating progress indicator in the lyx window
is animating. After a while, Lyx asks if I want to stop the process, and
then I get the following messages:

"support/Systemcall.cpp (265): Systemcall: 'pdflatex "newfile1.tex"' did
not finish!
support/Systemcall.cpp (266): error The process timed out. It might be
restarted automatically.
support/Systemcall.cpp (267): status The process exited normally."

I have tried purging and reinstalling texlive* and lyx. I have tried
running pdflatex directly from the command line, and this works and
completes more or less instantly, producing a pdf. However, Lyx is
unable to view any type of format.

Any help from the list would be much appreciated.

Thanks,
Rasmus

Thanks Richard,

With or without the CopyStyle, it wouldn't substitute the tag in
HTMLTag for the default http://www.troubleshooters.com/

Simple HTML converter/export

[Steve Litt]

Hi all,

I have no doubt the HTML exporters in LyX are exactly what I want to
make an eBook. A simple, mostly text website? Not so much. I was unable
to change http://www.troubleshooters.com/

How would I override the stdsections.inc styles' HTMLTag in my
layout? My layout files don't define styles already given me by
LyX's book style, but instead just add new styles. What would be
the quickest, easiest way within a layout file to modify HTMLTag
for Standard, Part, Section, Subsection, SubSubSection, Paragraph
and SubParagraph? Could I do something like this Assuming starting
with the Article document class and not using Part:

Style Section
CopyStyle Section
HTMLTag h1
End

Style Standard
CopyStyle Standard
HTMLTag p
End

You don't need the CopyStyle stuff. The rest will "update" the style
if it already exists, not over-write it.

See the attached. I've put the relevant layout into Document>
Setttings> Local Layout.

Note that load order of layout stuff matters. You would need to
load stdsections.inc, or whatever loads it, first, and then do your
customizations. One nice thing about Local Layout is that it
always comes last.

Hi Richard,

The attached doc was doc class article. The only thing I saw that
indicated it was "tweaked" was the document preamble in the LyX file
contained:

\usepackage{heck}

But I don't know what was in package heck or where to put it.

Would I do that at the top of my layout file?

But then again, to use LyX as a quickie web page writer, I'd need to
have one central layout file not local.

Thanks,

That's not relevant. See Document> Settings> Local Layout.

Post the layout file if not sure.
