Re: Unable to install MikTex with Lyx 2.0
I guess I am experiencing some of this problems because I work on a network station. Even though I have administrator rights, I just can not get this to work. If the LyX installer just could have downloaded MikTex like it did before I think it would have worked, since 1.6 worked flawlessly on the same (school) network. 2011/9/13 Brian Linfoot > On 13/09/2011 15:44, Christian Wilhelmsen wrote: > >> Tried to compile, and get this output from messages: >> >> 16:42:41.737: Previewing ... >> >> 16:42:41.743: (buffer-view: Ctrl+R) >> >> 16:42:41.798: pdflatex "file.tex" >> >> 16:42:41.868: This is pdfTeX, Version 3.1415926-1.40.11 (MiKTeX 2.9) >> >> 16:42:42.829: (Fatal format file error; I'm stymied) >> >> D:\LyXSVN\LyX2.0.x\src\**support\Systemcall.cpp(259): Systemcall: >> 'pdflatex "file.tex"' finished with exit code 1 >> >> Error: Cannot view file >> >> --**-- >> >> File does not exist: C:/Users/chriswil.AD/AppData/** >> Local/Temp/lyx_tmpdir.Hp4684/**lyx_tmpbuf2/file.pdf >> >> 16:42:47.585: Error while previewing format: pdf2 >> >> >> >> I seem to remember having seen this before with LyX 2.0.0 > > I suspect your LyX installation possibly has screwed up it's temp > directory path, > Do you have an old lyx version on your system?

Re: Unable to install MikTex with Lyx 2.0
Yes, I have tried to reconfigure, install miktex directly under C:, tried installing the bundle packages but none of them works. The bundle package allows me to press the output button, but it says that I have space characters in path and is therefore not able to generate pdf. I have to start writing my thesis yesterday so this is really frustrating. Thanks for all your help!

Unable to install MikTex with Lyx 2.0
Hi! I am using Windows 7, and wanted to download and install Lyx 2.0. The problem is that MikTex won't automatically install with the Lyx installer, because of a 404 error. I then downloaded and installed MikTex manually, but I do not know how to tell Lyx how to use it. Any suggestions on the matter? - Christian
Importing excel/gnumeric to LyX
Hi! When trying to import and .xls or .gnumeric to LyX 2.0 I get the error message: "no information for converting gnumeric format files to latex. Define a converter in the preferences". I understand what it asks of me, but I can't seem to figure out how to define the converter. I have installed gnumeric on my computer. Really hoping that someone is able to helt me with this! Thank you very much in advance. - Christian Wilhelmsen

I really don't know what has happened, but now when I shrinked the image a little it worked just like it used to do :)

unwanted blank page
I am adding som images (not in floats) to my appendix on a report I am writing, and suddenly there is a blank page. Have been trying to find out why, but I just can't. The subsection just jumps over a whole page :S Does anyone know what may have caused this? - Christian Wilhelmsen

RE: working with 2 screens
Windows or Linux? I am working in Windows, and if that happens, I just drag the windows over to my primary screen or whatever screen I want to work on and the next time I ask the windows to pop up they land right where I left them :) - Christian Wilhelmsen
Unwanted pagebreaks
My sollution was to add a \clearpage before the floats that gave me a problem.
RE: Page numbering
Heisann Marit!
The only way I can think of is, unfortunately, through code, or ERT (Evil
Red Text).
In your document, press CTRL+L, and a red box will appear. After your front
page you could tyoe in the red box : \pagestyle{fancy}
This will change the rest of your document class. I am writing my bachelor
thesis at this moment, and have been working a lot with making
my lyx document look exactly as I want, a lot of settings and some ERT is
unfortunately mandatory.
Document -> settings -> page layout -> fancy and two-sided is the best way
to start I think.
- Christian Wilhelmsen
Unwanted pagebreaks
Hi all! My PDF got some weird page breaks on pages with images in the end (mostly), and I think it might be that I set my floats to "here definitately". Is there any way to force no page break? - Christian Wilhelmsen

It has been bothering me that I open up a lyx document from within LyX (not opening a new windows, just new tab), and its not the latest copy of the file. Serious mistakes could be made. But I wouldn't need anything notifying me about change in graphics, since they are always the latest version when compiling.

Re: Lyx open buffered copy
I get what you are saying, but I only want it to notify me about the file I am working on in LyX at the moment. So, it is actually a function I would want the LyX team to implement.

Lyx open buffered copy
I juse LyX and Dropbox in collaboration with my team mates, and the problem is that when you have opened a file, another user edits it and sync it through dropbox, LyX wont open the new version, it opens a buffered copy or something. We have to close LyX each time we want to open an updated document, or else you just get the copy that is stored in memory... Tried removing auto-backup, if that was the problem, but no. Anyone knows how we can get past this problem? - christian wilhelmsen
