Evince as default viewer
Dear all, I have installed qpdfview and although system-wide Evince is the default PDF viewer, Lyx preferes qpdfview. Is there a way to tell Lyx to select Evince? I have uninstalled qpdfview and the pdflatex option is grayed out. Thanks in advance! - Julio Rojas jcredbe...@gmail.com

Dear all, While using Knitr with Beamer, is it possible to keep data read in one frame to the next without reloading it? After some 20 slides the need to do all the previous steps before doing what it needs to show, compilation into PDF gets really slow. I have seen that RMarkdown can do it, BTW. Thanks in advance.

Re: Sideways longtable
Dear Daniel,
As you can see by the results shown in the attached PDF, "pdflandscape"
rotates the page, not the longtable (look at the page numbers and the test
in the table). What I need is to rotate the longtable, so it better fits
with my data. Nevertheless, I thank you for your help.
Should this be reported as a desired feature? Or would it be a very complex
task to include in this developing cycle?

Then I defined my longtable and used the "pdflscape", which produced a rotated page with a non-rotated table. Is there an easy way to produce a rotated longtable in Lyx?

It seems that the compressed PDF will sometimes trigger this error in Adobe Reader. I used pdftk to uncompress my file and it could be opened by Reader. I also removed a couple of PDFs (created the same way as the remaining in the document) and even compressed it could be opened by Reader. I use Sumatra, thus, I didn't know of this problem until I shared some slides with my students who used Adobe Reader. One of them used Chrome's PDF plug-in to open it, then printed it as PDF and the problem was removed. In Ubuntu, Ocular could open it without a hassle. I don't know if Apple's Preview could do it.

Babel error
Dear all,
I am getting the following error when compiling Spanish documents (Ubuntu
14.04, TexLive 2013, Lyx 2.1.3):
! Package babel Error: You haven't specified a language option.
Nonetheless, Spanish has been selected in the language section of the
document configuration. This is even happening starting from scratch in any
document class.
It can be fixed adding \usepackage[english]{babel} in the preamble, which
points to some package trying to use English, even if the document is in
Spanish. Again, it happens with any plain vanilla document.
Any idea?

Re: Open File problem
Dear Stephan, you've nailed it. I finally could pinpoint the problem to opening files in windows, instead of in tabs. Nevertheless, I opened Lyx from command line to see if some message appears when I tried to open another file, but nothing showed up. Again, my wife's computer is using Mavericks and her Lyx is 2.1.2.2 Can anyone confirm this bug, so I can file it? If not, do you have another idea about why this problem is appearing?

Re: Calculyx
Dear Andrew, thanks for the excellent idea. I will be a true believer and
user once it works smoothly.
Nevertheless, I have just tried a simple sum and the following error is
presented at compilation time:
! Undefined control sequence.
\clyx_vvlist_process:NN ...ist #1\clist_reverse:N
\l_tmpb_clist \clist_map_i...
l.25 \calculyx{$\sum_{n=1}^{2}n$}
No result of this sum is shown in the preview. Did I do something wrong?

Open File problem
Dear LyXers, My wife has LyX 2.1.1 under OS X 10.9.5 (Mavericks). When she tries to open a file, LyX pops a new LyX document up, which is immediately closed. No Open File dialog is shown. The same happens with New From Template. Is there a way to diagnose (and fix) this problem? Is it related to the Yosemite problems arising left and right? I wouldn't like to upgrade to Yosemite and thus to 2.1.1.2, unless it would be totally unavoidably, as remote user support is not my strong feature, and she would be left in dire straits. Thanks in advance. Regards, - Julio Rojas jcredbe...@gmail.com

Re: Bug in the Math UI
I have checked the source for my snippet compared to one of the "old
fashioned" that I had:
\begin{align*}
P(X\leq150) & =\left(\begin{array}{c}
n\\
k
\end{array}\right)\\
P(X\leq150) & =\left(\begin{array}[t]{c}
n\\
k
\end{array}\right)
\end{align*}
As you can see, there is "[t]" in the array that is generating the problem,
i.e., the array was top aligned. Are matrices in Lyx 2.1.0 set up by
default on top alignment instead of middle aligment? I don't really
remember changing this aligment.
Sorry for the false report. Regards.

I wanted to make set the binomial coefficient for a binomial distribution, so I did as I alway did, i.e., insert the parenthesis in my equation and a size 2 column vector in the parenthesis. To my surprise the vector is not centered on the parenthesis, but on the top element. Is doesn't mater if the vector is of even or odd size; the vector is being setup from the top element to the bottom one. This way the parenthesis are bigger than usual and the top part of their space is empty. I don't know if I was completely clear, so I have attached a couple of PNG's of the UI and a PDF showing this behavior. Again, I stress that this exactly the same way I have doing it for years, so this issue is related to the UI. Is there some new way of doing it on Lyx which I am not aware of? Thanks for your help. --------- Julio Rojas jcredbe...@gmail.com
Re: Beamer in Lyx 2.1.0
Nah, Liviu, thanks for the suggestion but downgrading is never a good solution. I have been working this whole week with Beamer on 2.1 and let's say that the new UI is the least of my concerns. ;) - Julio Rojas jcredbe...@gmail.com On Thu, May 8, 2014 at 9:52 PM, Liviu Andronic wrote: > On Thu, May 8, 2014 at 9:46 PM, Julio Rojas wrote: > > I feel your pain Richard, I really do.

Re: Beamer in Lyx 2.1.0
I feel your pain Richard, I really do. Unfortunately, I am in a phase of my academic life in which everything is on the "production" branch, so testing of Lyx RC's for my documents was a big no-no. Couldn't risk loosing time. So, sad as it seems, I only noticed these changes after Ubuntu asked me if I would like to update Lyx to 2.1. :( BTW, now I understand what Jurgen meant by "no need" to indent the paragraph after a frame title for the text to remain within the "Frame". I thought that by saying it was a "Frame" environment, the text would not behave as a standard indented standard environment. My mistake. Nevertheless, indentation gives a clear idea that this text belongs to this "Frame". Anyways, as I continuously use "Theorems" (and derivatives), I usually found myself indenting these environments into a "Frame", so indenting standard text is kind of a natural extension for me. Thanks for the hard work dudes. I will go back to my never-ending stream of Beamer slides... ;) - Julio Rojas jcredbe...@gmail.com On Thu, May 8, 2014 at 3:13 PM, Richard Heck wrote: > On 05/08/2014 02:51 PM, Pavel Sanda wrote: > >> Julio Rojas wrote: >> >>> Maybe for beginners it wouldn't be a bad idea.

Re: Beamer in Lyx 2.1.0
Dear Jürgen, there is no need for irony on your comments. Everybody is doing an honest effort to work with the "new" Beamer environment. You have quoted the behavior of other environments as the reference for the "Frame" environment. If I am in a, for example, "Problem" environment and I want to get out of it into the standard environment, all I have to do is issue a couple of returns. This behavior is nowhere to be found in the "Frame" environment, as I can issue as many returns as I wish and the UI will accept them. This is, at least IMHO, a first in Lyx. As for the behavior after getting out of the frame title, what Neal was explaining is related to the previous paragraph. After issuing return outside of the frame title, another return should get you to the standard environment. Then issuing a tab would indent this standard environment into the "Frame" environment and you can keep working. This is the behavior I was expecting from my experience with Lyx and all sorts of environments. In this moment, you can issue as many returns as you wish and Lyx would keep adding empty white lines of a "Frame" environment. This behavior is not only annoying and useless, to say the least, but also is nowhere to be found in other environments. I hope that you understand our concerns.

Re: Beamer in Lyx 2.1.0
Thanks Scott, This shortcut is quite useful in getting me over the old "Frame" environment hangover. Nevertheless, while trying both methods another "problem" appeared: To get out of the title of a "Frame" pressing return is not enough. One has to use the arrows to get out of the "Frame title" box and then issue return to get to the next line. Now, the next line is not indented, so I pressed tab in order to indent the line inside the "Frame". To my surprise, this line belongs to a "Frame" environment, so one has to change it manually to a standard environment. Weird things do not stop there, as one might believe that issuing return would get you out of this environment, but no, as one can issue as many CRs as wanted, a behavior that I believe is completely unintended, isn't it so?

Re: Beamer in Lyx 2.1.0
Actually is the "separator" what annoys me the most. Is there any way in which it is "automatically" inserted by the UI? I find myself doing copy-paste all the tame from the previous slide in order to add a CR, a separator, a new title and an indented line. Without the separator I would be doing a couple of CRs to get out of the "Frame" environment, then adding a new "Frame" title. Somehow this workflow is kind of faster/smoother.

Beamer in Lyx 2.1.0
Dear developers, Why was it decided to force users to "indent" content inside a "Frame" environment in Lyx 2.1.0, instead of leaving the default behavior in Lyx 2.0.x which "automatically" set your content between "Frames" as part of the one on top? Was it to standardize it with all other environments in Lyx? Even if it is an small change, it affects my workflow in a sensitive way, so please, can you program a way to set it to the previous behavior? Regards. PS: I know this is not the developers list, but I have no subscription to it. Maybe one of the developers would read this email and comment accordingly or forward it to the developer in charge of Beamer. Anyways, thanks in advance. ----- Julio Rojas jcredbe...@gmail.com

Thanks Scott, it was solved. My path had a relative reference to the

Re: Maple and Lyx on Ubuntu
Thanks Scott. It works with Maxima, not with Maple. When I run lyx from the
command line, the console shows the following:
use equation inset
use cell: [char 4 mathalpha][char * mathalpha][sup [char x mathalpha] [char
2 mathalpha]][char + mathalpha][char 8 mathalpha][char * mathalpha][char x
mathalpha][char * mathalpha][char y mathalpha][char + mathalpha][char 4
mathalpha][char * mathalpha][sup [char y mathalpha] [char 2 mathalpha]]
ar: '[char 4 mathalpha][char * mathalpha][sup [char x mathalpha] [char 2
mathalpha]][char + mathalpha][char 8 mathalpha][char * mathalpha][char x
mathalpha][char * mathalpha][char y mathalpha][char + mathalpha][char 4
mathalpha][char * mathalpha][sup [char y mathalpha] [char 2 mathalpha]]'
ms: '4*x^(2) + 8*x*y+4*y^(2)'
checking expr: '4*x^(2) + 8*x*y+4*y^(2)'
calling: mint -i 1 -S -s -q -q
input: '4*x^(2) + 8*x*y+4*y^(2);'
sh: 1: mint: not found
calling: maple -q
input: 'readlib(latex):
`latex/csname_font` := ``:
`latex/latex/matrix` := subs(`[`=`(`, `]`=`)`,eval(`latex/latex/matrix`)):
`latex/latex/*` := subs(`\,`=`\cdot `,eval(`latex/latex/*`)):
`latex/latex/matrix`:= subs(`\\noalign{\\medskip}` =
``,eval(`latex/latex/matrix`)):
latex(factor(4*x^(2) + 8*x*y+4*y^(2)));quit;'
sh: 1: maple: not found
So, two things: something called "mint" is not found, nor is maple.
Nevertheless, if I run Maple from the command line it runs perfectly. Are
there two PATH variables, one for the terminal and one for the Ubuntu
graphic environment? May be this is the problem.
Thanks for your help. Regards.

Re: Lyx stuck generating PDFs
Hi everyone, it seems like it really was something Python-related. I reconfigured Lyx and now everything works perfectly. Very weird as this was a fresh installation that worked smoothly out of the box and only after a week, with no update or package installation that I recall. But if it is a Python-related problem, why is that pdflatex was invoked and running, although stuck waiting for some kind of condition?

Lyx stuck generating PDFs
Dear all, I am having a very weird behaviour on Lyx 2.0.6. When I try to generate any PDF, even the simplest one, nothing happens. I can see PDFLatex running in the background, eating some processor, but nothing to be worried about. This keeps going on until a message telling me that the command pdflatex "newfile1.tex" has not yet completed appears. If I export a LaTeX document from this same file and run pdflatex on it, everything works smoothly. Is there any way of knowing what is happening? There is not even a LaTeX log on Lyx to check where the problem lies. Maybe running Lyx from command line (I am on Windows 7) will help me on tracking any bug.

Hi Henrique. Welcome to the Lyx/LaTeX world. First of all, the language of the list is English, so you should try using it to get more help. Secondly, I have never heard of the ABTN format, so I don' t know how it looks. Nevertheless, there is a long road from your first documents to the definition of your own Lyx templates and LaTeX classes. You should take baby steps towards this goal or find if there is an ABTN class for LaTeX in which you can base your work. Good luck. Julio PS: I have forwarded this email to the User list, as in the Docs list you will not find any help for your problem (only Lyx documenation related problems). - Julio Rojas jcredbe...@gmail.com 2013/4/3 Henrique F C Gil > Olá, estou começando a aprender a linguagem LaTex, seguindo o tutorial > presente no Lyx. > Tenho uma dúvida de como posso personalizar o documento para que fique > nos padrões ABNT.

Re: Max and Min in spanish
Thanks Guenter, but your solution didn't work. I, just for the moment,
used the second option.

Re: LyX bundle installer on Windows doesn't work
Hi Ali, I have just installed Lyx bundle and I didn't get this error. Check your MikTeX installation compiling a sample Latex document. Maybe a better description of the error will appear.

Re: Biblatex with Lyx and eventually with APA6 style
Is there a quick and dirty guideline on how to use APA with LyX? I mean,
through BibLaTeX?

Re: Recommendations for reference for a Humanities students?
Hi Ananda, My wife just finished her PhD in law on Lyx/BibLatex. She had to use one of the standard formats (verbose-ibid, redefining cite as footcite) in BibLaTeX, because there is no style that properly suited her needs. Fortunately, in her University they did not require her to adapt to any given bibliographic format. If you need to do it, there will be a lot of programming in your future. An example is here: http://tex.stackexchange.com/questions/12806/guidelines-for-customizing-biblatex-styles Good luck.

Re: Change math Language - critical
Well Ignacio, If I create an Spanish document, and use "\sin x", Lyx (on screen) renders it as "sin x". If I use "\sen x", Lyx will render it (again, on screen) as "\sen x". What I would like is that by using localization (Spanish), Lyx recognizes that "\sin x" should be rendered as "sen x". The thing is that I don't know if this a desirable behavior. Again, should LaTeX do it automatically? Meaning, in the PDF.

Re: Change math Language - critical
What a bummer... One question. Shouldn't it be better that Lyx recognizes localization and instead of using "\sin" uses "\sen"? Is it even possible or desirably? The really good question is why, oh why, LaTeX doesn't do it automatically so Lyx has to do it only on-screen.

Top margin for Odd/Even page
Dear all. I need, for a complex legal format used in Venezuela, to have different top margins for odd and even pages.

Re: How to define and enforce a user style?
Dear Boyko, I am in the process of organizing a conference myself, with papers made in Word and LaTeX. I decided, from scratch, to create a Lyx template based on a simple two column "article" class with some changes for the abstract (using the abstract module). Then, I exported this template to LaTeX and created a very similar Word version. I can tell you this workflow is pretty straighforward and the results have been very good. If you would like, I can send you a direct email with my Lyx template (as well as the Word version, in case you are interested).

Re: Engineering student considering LyX for Thesis
I have written my 300 pages thesis completely in LyX, with many tables, equations and figures. It is not really a problem if you can work on one of the standard classes, like Memoir. If you have to adapt to a particular format/layout it can be a hell at the beginning, but afterwards it will become as natural as if you are using a standard class. Use master/child documents, create the preamble in a separate file and include it in every document and you will be capable of making a huge document with no appreciable lost of performance. Good luck. - Julio Rojas jcredbe...@gmail.com On Tue, Oct 18, 2011 at 12:01 PM, Helge Hafting wrote: > On 17. okt. 2011 18:49, Johnston81 wrote: > [...] >> >> My current situation is this: I am working on my Master Thesis and >> currently >> doing my research and such.
