Re: Windows users: can you test the 2.3.0 installer?
I had a big problem with the use of the new LyX 2.3 bundle. The installation by itself went fine, side by side with the current LyX 2.2.3 version, using my existing local Miktex 2.9 distribution. But the compilation with LyX 2.3 of any document failed with a report of a problem on pdflatex.exe (something like missing program). I tried to reconfigure LyX 2.3 but the problem remained. I then switched to LyX 2.2.3 and faced the same problem with in addition the reported missing of some document classes. It seemed that the Miktex configuration was corrupted. I then uninstalled LyX 2.3 and had to upgrade/maintain the Miktex configuration with its package manager to recover a working LyX 2.2.3. So there is certainly a problem with the way LyX 2.3 interacts with Miktex. I had no problem of this kind with the LyX2.3RC 1 & 2. 2018-02-27 23:12 GMT+01:00 Scott Kostyshak : > Dear Windows users, > > We received a report that the Windows installer lead to an error, so I > would like to get some more testing before we announce the release. > > Can you test the installer for 2.3.0? > > ftp://ftp.lyx.org/pub/lyx/bin/2.3.0 > > If you test, which installer did you test: the "bundle" or the > "installer"? > > Did you get a popup from the MiKTeX package manger during the > installation process?

"LyX: LaTeX failedthe external program pdflatex finished with an error.It is
recommended you fix the cause of external progam's error (check the logs)".
I have attached the LaTeX Log File to this mail for your consideration.
Hope to hearing from you soon.Thank youKind regards

2.3.0 installer test on Windows 10
Sorry, Scott. I first sent this to your own email by mistake. Re-sending
to the list.
I've installed and run the latest 2.3.0 installer from the FTP site on
Windows 10.
I've done 2 installations, both against TexLive 2017:
1. Windows 10 running natively on a new Dell laptop with Kaby Lake Xeon.
2. Windows 10 under Virtual box on a Fedora 27 host.
No problems or errors at all, either during installation, lyx program
startup, or compiling the User Guide. The generated User Guide PDF
looks OK as far as I can tell.
Separately, FYI:
I have also built and tested the 2.3.0 tarball under Fedora 27/Texlive
with QT 5.9.4. It builds and runs without error on my own documents.
However, when compiling the User Guide, it throws two errors:
1. "Illegal parameter number in definition of \captionsspanish" with the
Description:
}
You meant to type ## instead of #, right?
Or maybe a } was forgotten somewhere earlier, and things
are all screwed up? I'm going to assume that you meant ##.
and:
2. "Package babel Error: You haven't defined the language spanish yet."
with the Description:
\selectlanguage{spanish}
%
Your command will be ignored, type to proceed
These errors appear to be triggered in Section 3.9.2 on the line: "Les
incises - même si tout le monde ne les aime pas – sont très utiles."
Yes, that's French, not Spanish.
After clicking "Show Output Anyway" the PDF compiles without further
error and the affected lines in Section 3.9.2 appear normal.
Am I missing some package from Texlive?
Hope this helps. In any case, thanks to you all for your hard work on
this release!

Andreas Andreas, If this is the only time you are likely to be using the sr-vorl class, hacking a layout file for it might not be worth the time. Since the LyX layout file is needed only to translate between the LaTeX class and what appears in the LyX GUI, you might consider the following alternative strategy. Write the document in either svmono or svmult, whichever is closer to sr-vorl, using the exiting LyX layout. When all the content editing is done, export the document to LaTeX, and then change the document class to sr-vorl in the LaTeX file. You may possibly encounter a few LaTeX errors that will need fixing, but I suspect it will be less work than hacking a one-time-use layout file. Paul
