Writing letters...
I use the Koma-script letter template with some adjustments for my correspondance. Nice looking. The problem comes with envelopps : 1) Is there a template to print C6/5 envelopps ? If so, where ? 2) I sometimes use windows envelopps (also C6/5). How cant I get the address of my correspondant to print on the right side of the page, at the window position ? I dived into scrguen.pdf and almost drowned. So pleease help !
Mayday: problem with french quotation marks
I just reinstalled LyX 1.3.5 on a brand new computer. I'm writing in french and use french guillemets and for quotation. At least I try to, as they appear as spanish upside down exclamation-mark and question-mark. I remember having the problem once but can't figure out how I solved it. I use latin9 coding and french both in Preferences and Document. Other combination like french (gutemberg) or other codings won't do any good. Please help...

Lyx 1.4 Gentoo
I'm very eager to start working with Lyx 1.4. Has anybody compiled succesfully an exec for amd64 platform ? Any necessary patch ? Better yet, has one of you made a Gentoo ebuild for it ? Thanks for your support... -- ~adj~ Ces mystères nous dépassent Feignons d'en être l'organisateur
Proposed feature
Could once and for all the lyx window remember its size at time of closing and reopen next time with said size. Default opening size is ridiculously small, too small to work in it and this could be a solution. After all, computers are here to avoid us repetitive tasks...
lyx 1.4.1
I just installed lyx 1.4.1 and started playing with it. Once you get used to the new interface, waoo ! It feels great. I was told in the past that the size of the opening window was configurable now. Did I dream? I couldn't find where I can do it from. Also, I couldn't find a manual about the new version and new possibilities. Does that mean the good ole doc is up to date ? Thanx for the help to come... -- ~adj~
Wish, suggestion about templates
Lyx preferences allow to modify the default templates directory. Problem: I use 2 templates directories (zs I guess some people) 1 system wide (/usr/share/lyx/templates/) 1 personal (/home/alain/.lyx/templates) So I'd like to be able to fix it as default dir in preferences as well as the first one instead of being stuck to $HOME in the templates request box. Should be straight forward... Thanks, -- ~adj~
Cannot print from gv
I can't print a single page from gv anymore, I get an error: cupsdoprint -P 'BHL' -J 'gv_47ce6be7_1_top_cmd.ps.tmp' -H '/var/run/cups/cups.sock:631' -U 'alain' -o ' Resolution=1200x600dpi copies=1 multiple-document-handling=separate-documents-collated-copies page-bottom=6 page-left=6 page-right=9 page-top=6' '/tmp/gv_47ce6be7_1_top_cmd.ps.tmp' : execution failed with message: client-error-not-found As a matter of fact gv_47ce6be7_1_top_cmd.ps.tmp is not created in /tmp.

Gentoo future
After being a user (for at least a year each) of Redhat, Suse, Debian I finally went to Gentoo and intend to stick to it. What I like most: - I had to reinstall only once, when I changed my computer. That's great ! Experience has taught me that, should a new version be issued, the safer and least time consuming way to keep up with other linux is to reinstall. Not on Gentoo! - the other great feature is the abundant, detailed and practical documentation. You're never left on your own. Which is where a problem lies: the doc being so big, most of the time, the best way to find what you're looking for is to ask for a pointer on this list. It sure works, but I think it's about time to launch a help indexing project.What do you think folks?
Texlive for lyx
I use lyx 1.5.4 with tetex on a Gentoo computer. It works fine; I'm thinking about switching to texlive, as tetex seems on a deadend. Has anyone done it yet ? Got any problem ? How does LyX work with it ? Please let me know
exam.layout, where ?
I can't find an exam.layout to use exam.cls in lyx? I used to have a working one but can't remember where I found it. Any cue ? Thanks in advance, -- ~adj~

Chapters beginning on even pages
I'm working on a book. Consist of ordinary text and poems, each poem having to be in its own chapter. I'd like these chapters to start on odd or even page, without eventually leaving blank pages between them. How to achieve that ?

Add the option openany to the class options under DocumentSettings.
Thanks, I'll try that, but I fear this will make ALL the chapters begin on
odd even pages. May be I didn't make it clear enough, I want text chapters
start on even pages only, when poems chapters will start on both even odd
pages...
One option is to do InsertFormattingClear Double Page before each of them.
Try something like this in a layout file:
Style ChapterDPage
CopyStyle Chapter
LaTeXCommand chapterdpage
Preamble
\newcommand\chapterdpage[1]{\cleardoublepage\chapter{#1}}
EndPreamble
End
Richard
PS Please keep questions on the list, in case someone else was watching
the thread, and so that answers will be archived for later searching.
The cleardoublepage{} command forces the beginning of chapters on an odd page.
Finally I use the openany option and
cleardoublepage{} whenever I want to make sure a chapter stars on an odd page.
It works fine.
By the way, the I'm typesetting in lyx the 'Oeuvres complètes' of Arthur
Rimbaud as provided by Gutemberg project. If anyone is interested, let me know,
I'll be glad to send it as a lyx or pdf file whenever it's finished.
Thanks, Richard for the help,

See Richard, you and probably 20 other people on this list ALWAYS know
what's available. I've used Openany but didn't remember it. People
regularly reply to a question How do I make it do such and such?,
you guys reply oh, you just \usepackage{so_and_so} and you're right,
it works. You guys have spectacular memories.
Frustrating for me is I have no such memory, and unless I can review
all my layout files and find an answer, I'll have to re-ask the
question. CTAN is no help because it lists hundreds of packages, but
not by function. For whatever reason Google ends up listing solutions
like I do -- writing a bunch of LaTeX to do the job because the author
didn't know about a simple package.
I'm thinking if there's a way we can create a document that lists
packages and other little tricks (openany for instance) **BY
FUNCTIONALITY**, newbies stand a fighting chance, people like me can
remember in a matter of minutes rather than hours (or worse yet,
reinventing the wheel), and people like you will get less of the same
old questions.
I think the format of this resource should be a single web page with
lots of links, arranged in a hierarchy. A good example is my Linux
Library page:
http://www.troubleshooters.com/linux/index.htm
The beautiful thing about this page is you can either drill down, or
if that doesn't work, you can search the single page for keywords.
Another wonderful thing about it is it's actually maintained as a tab
indented outline (by VimOutliner or Emacs org mode or with any text
editor). So adding a new resource is almost instantaneous. Then you
just run an export program that turns it into an HTML page. In my
opinion this is much cleaner, easier, and faster than the traditional
Wiki page.
If you guys want to do it this way I'll be glad to give you the source
for Linux Library's HTML export, and I'll modify it so that for each
group you see the navigation down to it. I'll also take a primary role
in putting this hierarchical list of links together and pointing to
existing documentation resources, and maybe writing some new ones for
the project.
If we do this, people with great memories won't be the only ones who
know everything, and people with great memories will have much more
time to do real work rather than ask repetitive questions.
Bright idea. I support it.

localizing lyx
Following the openrc update in gentoo amd64, all locale variables suddenly vanished. I created a /etc/env.d/02locale file which includes LANG=fr_FR.UTF-8. lyx loads with english menus. It's only after exporting LANG from .bashrc that I can launch it from a shell with its french menus. To achieve the same effect from KDE menu, I have to set the launch command to LANG=fr_FR.UTF-8 lyx. My preference would be a global setting (as it used to be), as all users on my machine are french. I have the same problem with most of the apps. Any comments ? -- Alain DIDIERJEAN Puisque ces mystères nous dépassent Feignons d'en être l'organisateur

Recompilation should not be required, unless you were upgrading to
2.0.0
or something of the sort.
using gentoo linux, packages are compiled localy. Adding luatex and xetex

This looks odd, with the \endcsname\space. Can you try to produce a
minimal test document that exhibits the problem? I.e., keep deleting
stuff until the problem goes away.

Of course, removing the cross references fix the problem...
creating a new label and cross ref brings it back.
- is this a known problem ?
- any known way to fix this ?
- any idea ?
This looks like it might be a form of the active character problem,
if
you are using French. You could try switching to refstyle under
DocumentSettingsDocument Class.
Did it. Doesn't make any difference.
Any other suggestions ? What's this active character problem about ?

Could this be an encoding issue? Under the heading desperate times call for desperate measures, you might try making a copy of the .lyx files and using a plain text editor to globally search and replace the labels with something that uses only ASCII characters. Then see if LyX does any better. The problem is a known bug, specific to french and solved in texlive-2011. I have found a work around and I'll have my docs in time.

Weird X display
Since I tried to swich to a frame buffered graphical display, following all steps described in the Framebuffer and Radeon pages of the gentoo wiki, all I get is a display of vertical colored stripes, the pointer appearing as a square.

-Classic UI toolbars
I like Classic UI better than Default and would use it if only... I could find a way to modify toolbars showing from it. (Hope my poor english is clear enough guys). A few questions: 1) Is there a way to choose which toolbars show and which don't from Classic UI ? 2) After a quick look, I couldn't figure out how to add this feature as a menu item in Classic UI. Anybody can help ? 3) My personal feeling is such a feature belongs to Preferences. Am I wrong ? Thanks for the help, PS: I know it's been said before, never mind: USING LYX 1.5.1 is GREAT.

a footnote in a footnote
At the moment I'm trying to demonstrate the power of TeX LyX to an old friend of mine who plans to write a book. For that purpose, I have pasted a text (in french latin) document of his, an try to shape it with LyX. My old friend is delighted by what he sees, as compared with his usual .doc. Now I have a problem : at some point of his text, there is a footnote that includes a footnote. LyX refuses to include footnotes in footnotes. I tried \footnotemark and \footnotetext, that doesn't work. Is there a LyX or LaTeX solution to that problem? I'm pretty sure my old friend will be sorry not to be able to switch to LyX, which doesn't let you have footnotes in footnotes...
Missing features
I just updated to LyX 1.6.8 on my gentoo amd64 box. Which mean I downloaded the sources and compiled locally. It appears that some features are missing or unreachable: - no menu item to insert pagebreaks, hyperlinks, URL - no way to display available symbols - no way to spit main window. There might be other missing features that I havn't found yet. So what happened ? Is it my compile or are they gone from this version ? Will they be back on 2.0 ?
default date format
I insert dates through the date lyx command (and a key binding). How can I set a different default date format ( I used to get samedi 18 décembre 2010 and now I get 18/12/210 which is ugly in a letter in french. Thx,

Problems with graphics
Please, help a beginner : I'm working with Lyx 1.3.1 on a Debian Woody.
I've used tables with no problem. Now I try to insert a graphics (.pbm) in an
article document (it's the same in a book) as such, or as a float. It won't
compile and return a bunch (actually 4, or 5 as a float) of errors :
#1 :
Extra }, or forgotten $.
..._algo_von_neuman} Le modèle de Von Neuman}
I've deleted a group-closing symbol because it seems to be
spurious, as in `$x}$'. But perhaps the } is legitimate and
you forgot something else, as in `\hbox{$x}'. In such cases
the way to recover is to insert both the forgotten and the
deleted material, e.g., by typing `I$}'.
#2 :
Same as #1
#3 :
Missing $ inserted.
..._algo_von_neuman} Le modèle de Von Neuman}
I've inserted a begin-math/end-math symbol since I think
you left one out. Proceed, with fingers crossed.
#4 :
Undefined control sequence.
..._algo_von_neuman} Le modèle de Von Neuman}
The control sequence at the end of the top line
of your error message was never \def'ed. If you have
misspelled it (e.g., `\hobx'), type `I' and the correct
spelling (e.g., `I\hbox'). Otherwise just continue,
and I'll forget about whatever was undefined.
#5 :
Same as #4
What give ? What am I doing wrong ? Please help...

You can cut the image from the caption line

The only problem is, that LyX doesn't realize, that
there was a graphic inserted, so it doesn't write

back, for sure... As for considfering installing 1.3.3, I'll do it as soon as
I'll have switch from Debian Woody to Mandrake 9.2 (I use my computer more

short source code (exercises or examples for my students) in C, Python,
Ocaml.. and compiling it, getting docs and papers on the internet and I feel
less and less fond of administration, having prcticed for 15 years.. ). Also,
I quite often need the very last version of the software I use (cf LyX),

I'm very eager to start working with Lyx 1.4. Has anybody compiled succesfully an exec for amd64 platform ? Any necessary patch ? Better yet, has one of you made a Gentoo ebuild for it ? Thanks for your support... -- ~adj~ Ces mystères nous dépassent Feignons d'en être l'organisateur
Proposed feature
Could once and for all the lyx window remember its size at time of closing and reopen next time with said size. Default opening size is ridiculously small, too small to work in it and this could be a solution. After all, computers are here to avoid us repetitive tasks...
lyx 1.4.1
I just installed lyx 1.4.1 and started playing with it. Once you get used to the new interface, waoo ! It feels great. I was told in the past that the size of the opening window was configurable now. Did I dream? I couldn't find where I can do it from. Also, I couldn't find a manual about the new version and new possibilities. Does that mean the good ole doc is up to date ? Thanx for the help to come... -- ~adj~
Wish, suggestion about templates
Lyx preferences allow to modify the default templates directory. Problem: I use 2 templates directories (zs I guess some people) 1 system wide (/usr/share/lyx/templates/) 1 personal (/home/alain/.lyx/templates) So I'd like to be able to fix it as default dir in preferences as well as the first one instead of being stuck to $HOME in the templates request box. Should be straight forward... Thanks, -- ~adj~
Cannot print from gv
I can't print a single page from gv anymore, I get an error: cupsdoprint -P 'BHL' -J 'gv_47ce6be7_1_top_cmd.ps.tmp' -H '/var/run/cups/cups.sock:631' -U 'alain' -o ' Resolution=1200x600dpi copies=1 multiple-document-handling=separate-documents-collated-copies page-bottom=6 page-left=6 page-right=9 page-top=6' '/tmp/gv_47ce6be7_1_top_cmd.ps.tmp' : execution failed with message: client-error-not-found As a matter of fact gv_47ce6be7_1_top_cmd.ps.tmp is not created in /tmp. Is it me or a more general problem ? Any suggestion ? I re-emerged gv to no avail
Gentoo future
After being a user (for at least a year each) of Redhat, Suse, Debian I finally went to Gentoo and intend to stick to it. What I like most: - I had to reinstall only once, when I changed my computer. That's great ! Experience has taught me that, should a new version be issued, the safer and least time consuming way to keep up with other linux is to reinstall. Not on Gentoo! - the other great feature is the abundant, detailed and practical documentation. You're never left on your own. Which is where a problem lies: the doc being so big, most of the time, the best way to find what you're looking for is to ask for a pointer on this list. It sure works, but I think it's about time to launch a help indexing project.What do you think folks?
Texlive for lyx
I use lyx 1.5.4 with tetex on a Gentoo computer. It works fine; I'm thinking about switching to texlive, as tetex seems on a deadend. Has anyone done it yet ? Got any problem ? How does LyX work with it ? Please let me know
exam.layout, where ?
I can't find an exam.layout to use exam.cls in lyx? I used to have a working one but can't remember where I found it. Any cue ? Thanks in advance, -- ~adj~

Chapters beginning on even pages
I'm working on a book. Consist of ordinary text and poems, each poem having to be in its own chapter. I'd like these chapters to start on odd or even page, without eventually leaving blank pages between them. How to achieve that ?

Add the option openany to the class options under DocumentSettings.
Thanks, I'll try that, but I fear this will make ALL the chapters begin on
odd even pages. May be I didn't make it clear enough, I want text chapters
start on even pages only, when poems chapters will start on both even odd
pages...
One option is to do InsertFormattingClear Double Page before each of them.
Try something like this in a layout file:
Style ChapterDPage
CopyStyle Chapter
LaTeXCommand chapterdpage
Preamble
\newcommand\chapterdpage[1]{\cleardoublepage\chapter{#1}}
EndPreamble
End
Richard
PS Please keep questions on the list, in case someone else was watching
the thread, and so that answers will be archived for later searching.
The cleardoublepage{} command forces the beginning of chapters on an odd page.
Finally I use the openany option and
cleardoublepage{} whenever I want to make sure a chapter stars on an odd page.
It works fine.
By the way, the I'm typesetting in lyx the 'Oeuvres complètes' of Arthur
Rimbaud as provided by Gutemberg project. If anyone is interested, let me know,
I'll be glad to send it as a lyx or pdf file whenever it's finished.
Thanks, Richard for the help,

rh
See Richard, you and probably 20 other people on this list ALWAYS know
what's available. I've used Openany but didn't remember it. People
regularly reply to a question How do I make it do such and such?,
you guys reply oh, you just \usepackage{so_and_so} and you're right,
it works. You guys have spectacular memories.
Frustrating for me is I have no such memory, and unless I can review
all my layout files and find an answer, I'll have to re-ask the
question. CTAN is no help because it lists hundreds of packages, but
not by function. For whatever reason Google ends up listing solutions
like I do -- writing a bunch of LaTeX to do the job because the author
didn't know about a simple package.
I'm thinking if there's a way we can create a document that lists
packages and other little tricks (openany for instance) **BY
FUNCTIONALITY**, newbies stand a fighting chance, people like me can
remember in a matter of minutes rather than hours (or worse yet,
reinventing the wheel), and people like you will get less of the same
old questions.
I think the format of this resource should be a single web page with
lots of links, arranged in a hierarchy. A good example is my Linux
Library page:
http://www.troubleshooters.com/linux/index.htm
The beautiful thing about this page is you can either drill down, or
if that doesn't work, you can search the single page for keywords.
Another wonderful thing about it is it's actually maintained as a tab
indented outline (by VimOutliner or Emacs org mode or with any text
editor). So adding a new resource is almost instantaneous. Then you
just run an export program that turns it into an HTML page. In my
opinion this is much cleaner, easier, and faster than the traditional
Wiki page.
If you guys want to do it this way I'll be glad to give you the source
for Linux Library's HTML export, and I'll modify it so that for each
group you see the navigation down to it. I'll also take a primary role
in putting this hierarchical list of links together and pointing to
existing documentation resources, and maybe writing some new ones for
the project.
If we do this, people with great memories won't be the only ones who
know everything, and people with great memories will have much more
time to do real work rather than ask repetitive questions.
Bright idea. I support it.

localizing lyx
Following the openrc update in gentoo amd64, all locale variables suddenly vanished. I created a /etc/env.d/02locale file which includes LANG=fr_FR.UTF-8. lyx loads with english menus. It's only after exporting LANG from .bashrc that I can launch it from a shell with its french menus. To achieve the same effect from KDE menu, I have to set the launch command to LANG=fr_FR.UTF-8 lyx. My preference would be a global setting (as it used to be), as all users on my machine are french. I have the same problem with most of the apps. Any comments ? -- Alain DIDIERJEAN Puisque ces mystères nous dépassent Feignons d'en être l'organisateur

Recompilation should not be required, unless you were upgrading to

or something of the sort.
using gentoo linux, packages are compiled localy. Adding luatex and xetex

This looks odd, with the \endcsname\space. Can you try to produce a
minimal test document that exhibits the problem? I.e., keep deleting
stuff until the problem goes away.

Could this be an encoding issue? Under the heading desperate times call for desperate measures, you might try making a copy of the .lyx files and using a plain text editor to globally search and replace the labels with something that uses only ASCII characters. Then see if LyX does any better. The problem is a known bug, specific to french and solved in texlive-2011. I have found a work around and I'll have my docs in time. Some discussions about it are in the french mailing list (in french of course). Thanks all for the help,
Weird X display
Since I tried to swich to a frame buffered graphical display, following all steps described in the Framebuffer and Radeon pages of the gentoo wiki, all I get is a display of vertical colored stripes, the pointer appearing as a square. Knowned problem ? where should I look in the arcane config of FB, X and radeon (my graphic card is an ATI 3600)? I'm desperate.

Section numbering
I'm writing a set of rules unsing Koma article. I'd like section numbers appear as: Article 12 instead of simply 12. How should I do ? Change of layout or what ? Thanks for the help -- ~adj~
French synonyms
Is there such a resource as a french synonyms dictionary that can be used from inside lyx. Docs don't say much about this... -- ~adj~
-Classic UI toolbars
I like Classic UI better than Default and would use it if only... I could find a way to modify toolbars showing from it. (Hope my poor english is clear enough guys). A few questions: 1) Is there a way to choose which toolbars show and which don't from Classic UI ? 2) After a quick look, I couldn't figure out how to add this feature as a menu item in Classic UI. Anybody can help ? 3) My personal feeling is such a feature belongs to Preferences. Am I wrong ? Thanks for the help, PS: I know it's been said before, never mind: USING LYX 1.5.1 is GREAT. Thanks to the developers.
date-insert
The command date-insert seems to be gone. I miss it. Any hope to get it back? -- ~adj~
Help menu
Reference.lyx is not yet available in french and is missing from the help menu. How do I get the english version of the file back to the menu? I tried a hard link in /usr/share/lyx/doc/fr and reconfigure to no avail... -- ~adj~
date-insert again
date-insert command still exists in LyX 1.5.1 and is listed in http://wiki.lyx.org/LyX/LyxFunctions it doesn't work for me. Is it my problem (I have a ~amd64 Gentoo install) or is more general ? let me know... -- ~adj~
a footnote in a footnote
At the moment I'm trying to demonstrate the power of TeX LyX to an old friend of mine who plans to write a book. For that purpose, I have pasted a text (in french latin) document of his, an try to shape it with LyX. My old friend is delighted by what he sees, as compared with his usual .doc. Now I have a problem : at some point of his text, there is a footnote that includes a footnote. LyX refuses to include footnotes in footnotes. I tried \footnotemark and \footnotetext, that doesn't work. Is there a LyX or LaTeX solution to that problem? I'm pretty sure my old friend will be sorry not to be able to switch to LyX, which doesn't let you have footnotes in footnotes...
Missing features
I just updated to LyX 1.6.8 on my gentoo amd64 box. Which mean I downloaded the sources and compiled locally. It appears that some features are missing or unreachable: - no menu item to insert pagebreaks, hyperlinks, URL - no way to display available symbols - no way to spit main window. There might be other missing features that I havn't found yet. So what happened ? Is it my compile or are they gone from this version ? Will they be back on 2.0 ?
default date format
I insert dates through the date lyx command (and a key binding). How can I set a different default date format ( I used to get samedi 18 décembre 2010 and now I get 18/12/210 which is ugly in a letter in french. Thx,

LyX 2.06
I just installed lyx 2.06 on my gentoo computer. The problem is I can't find any reference to this version on the lyx website, the last being cited is 2.05.1. What about 2.06 ? stable ? new features ?
