What I wanted to say is that the installer automatically gives the option

And this is why I couldn't care less about MikTeX and have been using

Evince as default viewer

[Julio Rojas]

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!

Knitr and Beamer

[Julio Rojas]

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.

Re: Sideways longtable

[Julio Rojas]

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?

Sideways longtable

[Julio Rojas]

Dear all,

I would like to have a long and wide table in such a way that allows me to
optimize the space on my document. I tried rotating a longtable, but an
error was produced. 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? Or should I produce table in
LaTeX code?

Thanks in advance.

Re: Separator environment

Thx Jürgen. Although I understand that "finger painting" is a no-no in

Dear all,

I am working on an old Beamer presentation on Lyx 2.2.0 / Ubuntu 14.04 and
the Separator environment does not appear from the options. Was it removed?
Can somebody check this out?

The old separators are there, although they are not shown as such, but as a

pdfminorversion

[Julio Rojas]

Dear all,

I have read that in order to avoid the dreaded error 131 that Adobe Reader
shows when opening some files generated with pdfLaTeX, the
\pdfminorversion=4 flag should be added before loading Beamer. How can I do
this in Lyx?

Thanks in advance. Regards,

Re: pdfminorversion

[Julio Rojas]

Hi Scott,

Here you can find some references:
http://tex.stackexchange.com/questions/64448/how-to-overcome-acrobat-reader-error-131-with-a-pdflatex-doc
https://helpx.adobe.com/x-productkb/multi/error-problem-reading-document-131.html

Last reference is from Adobe itself, but the solution is somewhat cryptic
as I am using Reader DC and couldn't find those menus.

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.

I hope this info is enough to track the error.

Regards, Julio.

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: Font problem with LyX 2.1.3 on Ubuntu 14.04

[Julio Rojas]

Hi,

I have Ubuntu 14.04 and Lyx 2.1.3 installed from the PPA and I can confirm
the problem using your Vinh's file. See the attachements. While Palatino
and Times Roman work perfectly, Garamond is rendered as Computer Modern. I
am pretty sure Garamond is installed, as I have recently reinstalled this
computer.

Comments?

 What fonts exactly do you select, and can you send a minimal example
 exhibiting your issue.

  I've tried different combinations of fonts and even tried reinstalling
  LyX to no avail.

Re: Open File problem

[Julio Rojas]

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?

Thanks in advance. Regards,

  My wife just told me that the problem is also present in 2.1.2.2. It
 appears when a document is already open, ie, if a document is open and you
 try to open another file from the menu, a new empty document window pops
 up, then closes, with no dialog to open a file. Can someone check if this
 is so?

 I cannot confirm this. I tried it on Yosemite and on a Apple Mavericks
 server.
 Another think you can try is to change the preference for opening
 documents:
 you may try to open documents in tabs instead of new window. Just an

 No Open File dialog is shown. The same happens with New From Template. Is

  I'd propose to make a copy of the 2.1.1 and try if it is better with

  The fixes for Yosemite doesn't harm on Mavericks. The open file problem

SIGSEGV Error in Mavericks

[Julio Rojas]

Dear all,

While closing Lyx 2.1.2.2 in Mavericks the following error appeared:

¡Señal SIGSEGV capturada!

Lo sentimos, has encontrado un fallo en LyX, ojalá no hayas perdido datos.

Por favor, lee las instrucciones sobre informe de fallos en
'AyudaIntroducción' y envíanoslo, si es necesario. ¡Gracias!

Adiós.

Re: Open File problem

[Julio Rojas]

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?

Thanks in advance. Regards,

SIGSEGV Error in Mavericks

[Julio Rojas]

Dear all,

While closing Lyx 2.1.2.2 in Mavericks the following error appeared:

¡Señal SIGSEGV capturada!

Lo sentimos, has encontrado un fallo en LyX, ojalá no hayas perdido datos.

Por favor, lee las instrucciones sobre informe de fallos en
'Ayuda>Introducción' y envíanoslo, si es necesario. ¡Gracias!

Adiós.

Re: Open File problem

[Julio Rojas]

Dear all,

My wife just told me that the problem is also present in 2.1.2.2. It
appears when a document is already open, ie, if a document is open and you
try to open another file from the menu, a new empty document window pops
up, then closes, with no dialog to open a file. Can someone check if this
is so?

 Hullo Julio,

 My beta tester (there was one) also stumbled over this issue which is why
 I wrote in my introductory spiel:

 Calculyx requires the three LaTeX3 bundles l3kernel,  l3packages and
 l3experimental. Because a main routine uses a  command that was introduced
 to l3kernel on 18 July 2014, the version of l3kernel must be later than
 this.

 The command that was introduced in July is the one in your error message: 
 \clist_reverse:N.

 Unless your version of l3kernel is later than 18 July this year, calculyx
 won't work. You will need to download a newer version of l3kernel.

 Any calculation that involves variables (n in your test expression) is
 going to meet this command. You could try something involving only
 constants or numbers: e^{\pi}-\pi^{e} perhaps, or 1+1!

 Andrew

   aparsloe apars...@clear.net.nz
  24 novembre 2014 02:47
 I've written a LaTeX package called calculyx which numerically evaluates
 mathematical expressions in LyX before one's eyes using instant preview.
 It is written in the expl3 language of LaTeX3 but is used just like any
 other LaTeX package. There is a link at
 http://wiki.lyx.org/Examples/Calculyx to a zipped archive currently in a
 Dropbox folder, and a screenshot (.png format) of a one-page LaTeX document
 and the resulting pdf with a few example calculations at
 https://www.dropbox.com/s/7djkyjs44bpraol/Screenshot%202014-11-24%2013.52.07.png?dl=0.
 The LaTeX may look complicated, but using LyX, all that is as ever hidden.
 One simply enters expressions in the LyX math editor as usual.

 Calculyx requires the three LaTeX3 bundles l3kernel,  l3packages and
 l3experimental. Because a main routine uses a  command that was introduced
 to l3kernel on 18 July 2014, the version of l3kernel must be later than
 this. The calculational engine for calculyx is the floating point module
 l3fp in l3kernel.

 I have tried to ensure as much as possible that calculyx reads expressions
 as mathematicians write them. For instance it will digest \sin 3x - 3\sin
 x + 4\sin^{3} x (for a specified value of x, say \pi/6) without parentheses
 around the arguments and with the superscript in the wrong but familiar
 place. It will digest the common arithmetic operators, plus variants like
 \times and \div, the familiar trigonometric and hyperbolic functions and
 their inverses, the exponential and natural logarithm, fractions (\frac,
 \tfrac), square root and \surd, factorials ( using !), binomial
 coefficients (\binom, \tbinom), \gcd, sums and products (\sum, \prod)
 including infinite sums and products, limits (\lim), derivatives (1st and
 2nd order), including Cartesian 2-d and 3-d Laplacians, and definite
 integrals in one variable. Results are generally presented in the form:
 expression = result. There is also a (multi-column) table creating command
 and another which will iterate a function (for the chaos theorists).

 The package contains a novelty that I think could be exploited more
 widely. Some calculations are computationally intensive. So as not to
 burden the compilation of the pdf with them, these calculations can be
 parked either in a LyX note or in an inactive branch. Instant preview
 works in both places (with a caveat for LyX notes). The result of the
 calculation can be saved to a LaTeX control sequence. Calculyx
 automatically saves such control sequences to a file. They are then
 available for inserting elsewhere in the document -- even at the start,
 long before the place where the calculation is performed. If you are
 prepared to set up a converter and copier, then the file containing the
 control sequences can be saved in the document directory -- or copied to
 other directories whereby the results of those parked calculations are
 made available to these other documents. By this means selected items in
 LyX notes or inactive branches can play a part in compilation to pdf.

Re: Calculyx

[Julio Rojas]

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?

 I've written a LaTeX package called calculyx which numerically evaluates
 mathematical expressions in LyX before one's eyes using instant preview.
 It is written in the expl3 language of LaTeX3 but is used just like any
 other LaTeX package. There is a link at
 http://wiki.lyx.org/Examples/Calculyx to a zipped archive currently in a
 Dropbox folder, and a screenshot (.png format) of a one-page LaTeX document
 and the resulting pdf with a few example calculations at
 https://www.dropbox.com/s/7djkyjs44bpraol/Screenshot%202014-11-24%2013.52.07.png?dl=0.
 The LaTeX may look complicated, but using LyX, all that is as ever hidden.
 One simply enters expressions in the LyX math editor as usual.

 Calculyx requires the three LaTeX3 bundles l3kernel,  l3packages and
 l3experimental. Because a main routine uses a  command that was introduced
 to l3kernel on 18 July 2014, the version of l3kernel must be later than
 this. The calculational engine for calculyx is the floating point module
 l3fp in l3kernel.

 I have tried to ensure as much as possible that calculyx reads expressions
 as mathematicians write them. For instance it will digest \sin 3x - 3\sin
 x + 4\sin^{3} x (for a specified value of x, say \pi/6) without parentheses
 around the arguments and with the superscript in the wrong but familiar
 place. It will digest the common arithmetic operators, plus variants like
 \times and \div, the familiar trigonometric and hyperbolic functions and
 their inverses, the exponential and natural logarithm, fractions (\frac,
 \tfrac), square root and \surd, factorials ( using !), binomial
 coefficients (\binom, \tbinom), \gcd, sums and products (\sum, \prod)
 including infinite sums and products, limits (\lim), derivatives (1st and
 2nd order), including Cartesian 2-d and 3-d Laplacians, and definite
 integrals in one variable. Results are generally presented in the form:
 expression = result. There is also a (multi-column) table creating command
 and another which will iterate a function (for the chaos theorists).

Open File problem

[Julio Rojas]

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,

Re: Lualatex at startup

Thanks everybody. What I did was killing lualatex.exe at the very moment it
is started by the configuration script, which in turn continues without any
more hiccups until Lyx is started correctly.

 For some reason, the lualatex configuratoin check takes a very long time.
 I don't know why it would cause such huge problems, but if you want to work
 around this:


 It may due to LuaTex's caching of all the system fonts, carried out by (I
 believe) luaotfload at startup. It may take a long time if you have lots of
 installed fonts.

Bug in the Math UI

[Julio Rojas]

Dear all,

I am on Ubuntu 12.02 with Lyx 2.1.0. 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.

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.

 Another wild idea: what about adding new frame environment containing the

Maybe for beginners it wouldn't be a bad idea. Alt-P Shift-Return is faster

Re: Beamer in Lyx 2.1.0

[Julio Rojas]

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... ;)

 No, this was not intended for beginners. The need of individual separator
 makes the document
 more fragile and more cumbersome in 90% of cases.

 Fragile because it's easy to forget. Cumbersome because you need to
 insert new
 environment on places where information about new frame was enough.
 Changing
 some document into beamer used to be breeze for me - if you want it fast
 just go
 through document and turn sections into frames, delete some pargraphs and
 you are
 done. Now you have to insert mostly superficial separator and care about
 nesting. Doable but steals time.


 No offense to anyone, but if I were Jurgen, I'd be thinking: These are all
 great
 suggestions, but how long was this in master? How long did people have to
 test it after alpha1?

 That said, it would be great if those of us who use Beamer extensively
 could
 come up with some concrete ideas about how the UI should work. Jurgen did
 the hard work. This should just be tweaking, though perhaps the absolutely
 best version involves something like a new layout tag. If so, then that is
 also
 doable.

Re: Beamer in Lyx 2.1.0

Nah, Liviu, thanks for the suggestion but downgrading is never a good

 You can still downgrade. (BUT do this only if you haven't already
 saved your .lyx files with 2.1.) Go to

 https://launchpad.net/~lyx-devel/+archive/release/+packages?field.name_filter=field.status_filter=supersededfield.series_filter=
 , select 'Superseeded packages', then manually download the 2.0.7
 packages, and install them using 'gdebi'. Consider uninstalling 2.1.0
 first.

 No, this was not intended for beginners. The need of individual separator

 more fragile and more cumbersome in 90% of cases.

 Fragile because it's easy to forget. Cumbersome because you need to
 insert new
 environment on places where information about new frame was enough.

 No offense to anyone, but if I were Jurgen, I'd be thinking: These are all

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. ;)

 You can still downgrade. (BUT do this only if you haven't already
 saved your .lyx files with 2.1.) Go to

 https://launchpad.net/~lyx-devel/+archive/release/+packages?field.name_filter=field.status_filter=supersededfield.series_filter=
 , select 'Superseeded packages', then manually download the 2.0.7
 packages, and install them using 'gdebi'. Consider uninstalling 2.1.0
 first.

Maybe for beginners it wouldn't be a bad idea. Alt-P Shift-Return is faster
for experienced users, though.

Re: Beamer in Lyx 2.1.0

[Julio Rojas]

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.

Regards.

Re: Beamer in Lyx 2.1.0

[Julio Rojas]

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?

 Hi Julio,

 The following is taken from the LyX Beamer manual (Help  Specific

 There is a simple automated way to start a new frame: Issue Edit⇒Start
 New Environment (Alt+P Return) if you are in a non-nested Frame
 paragraph, or Edit⇒Start New Parent Environment (Alt+P Shift+Return),
 respectively, if you are in a nested paragraph within the frame!
