Is your video card an nVidea? In the Linux world, friends don't let
friends use nVidea. Because of their ultra-paranoid secrecy on their
interfaces, the Free Software world has a very hard time making drivers
for their cards, and my experience is that their proprietary drivers are
intermittent and defective also. If you don't believe me, search the
web. If you have an nVidea graphics card, a simple change to Debian's
nVidea graphics drivers could be causing this, and good luck finding
the magic sauce to fix this intermittent.

If this is a laptop, you can't replace the video card, so your best bet
is to join MANY Linux User Group (LUG) mailing lists, and see if people
can help you find this year's secret sauce configuration for your
particular nVidea video interface.

If it's a desktop, I recommend buying yourself a nice Radeon or Intel
video card to replace your nVidea card or supplant your Mobo hosted
nVidea graphic interface, and then use the bios to turn off the
built-in. Either way, once you've gotten rid of your nVidea graphic
hardware, uninstall all the nVidea graphic software and drivers.

If switching out of nVidea doesn't fix the problem, that's fine, you've
improved your computer anyway, and you'll have ruled out a huge chunk
or X crash causes. I know this will be responded to by tens of people
saying their nVidea video interfaces work just fine. This is true, but
when nVidea graphic interfaces cause problems, they take days to
troubleshoot.

If you don't currently have an nVidea graphic interface, please
disregard this post.

I HIGHLY recommend Openbox. I've been using it for almost a decade and
it's perfect. A very similar window manager is ctwm, which I also
recommend. With either, I recommend using dmenu as your main program
launcher.

Also, you can try starting up your GUI with xinit so you have no
window manager at all, run LyX from an xterm, and see if funky things
still happen.

You can install several window manager and choose which one you want to
use. So you may add LXQT minimal and then try it again with fluxbox. If it
does not work, you can use LXQT, which should run without any problems.

Its Fluxbox!

I couldn't bring myself to install KDE, you can imagine that for a Fluxbox user 
that might be a step too far!  So I installed MATE, and Lyx appears to start up 
quite normally, all the recently opened files are there, and it looks like it 
will work.  That's a relief, at least its going to be possible to run it.  The 
next step will be to try and find a Fluxbox alternative, maybe a tiling WM, and 
see if that works.  Also it gives something definite to go on, and I can take 
it to the Fluxbox list.  A pity because I've found Fluxbox just about perfect.  
Obviously its not for everyone.

Thanks again for the suggestions.

Peter

The irony is that your debug log is like mine minus qt5ct plus some
KIconEnginePlugin, so it does not look like there are any errors.
Except I'm not a developer as well, so I may well be wrong.

Re: Debian 12 and Lyx 2.3.7-1

[Peter]

Thanks so much for the suggestions!

I ran (as myself) QT-DEBUG, and the same thing happened.  Blank screen, but lyx 
was showing in the bottom fluxbox menu bar, so I quickly closed the app and 
managed to avoid the crash, and thus was able to copy the terminal output.  It 
was as follows.  Sorry, its very long.  It means nothing to me.  I'm a long 
time Debian user, but no sort of serious programming background.

I'll have a go with some of the other suggestions next.  I guess one obvious 
one is to install KDE andtry it with that, since someone reports having no 
problems with that on Debian 12.  Can always take it out afterwards.  Or maybe 
beta 2.4.

I did not upgrade from Debian 11, but made a clean install and Lyx
works just fine, so it is problem with your upgrade. AFAIK it is common
for X to break on Debian upgrade.

Sorry, I am not going to be much help but if you are really
desperate you could try doing something nuclear like
```
dpkg-query -f '${Package} ${db:Status-Status}\n' -W '*xorg*' -W '*gtk*'
-W '*qt*' | awk '/ installed$/'
```
and deleting all (or most) of the packages. It will be a bit of a hassle
to install them all again especially if your installation is big, but it
*might* fix you problem.

Also, a tiny bit of lurking:
https://stackoverflow.com/questions/67272188/debian-10-qt-qpa-plugin-could-not-load-the-qt-platform-plugin-xcb-in-eve
I assume it's not likely "$DISPLAY" is missing, but maybe really some
xcb libraries got deleted during upgrade? Are other qt applications
working?

You can also `apt purge lyx` and then install in again...

You can also `strace lyx > ~/tmp/trace 2>&1` and then skim trough it
after reboot, but believe me that's not going to be pretty.

Re: Debian 12 and Lyx 2.3.7-1

[Eckhard Höffner]

I have no problems on debian, but I'm using kde. Starting from the 
terminal gives no output.


It appears that lyx does not connect to the windowmanager fluxbox.

Re: Debian 12 and Lyx 2.3.7-1

[Isaac Oscar Gariano]

That's not good, Linux GUI problems are often very hard to debug...

I'm guessing the xcb issue might be because you are a different user, but you 
can try using "QT_DEBUG_PLUGINS=1 lyx" to
get some more information.

You said you got lots of error messages, perhaps if you run `lyx -x lyx-quit` 
lyx will survive long enough to give error messages but not long enough to 
completely crash you're computer?

You can also try using SSH and X-Forwarding to yourself with 'ssh -X localhost 
lyx' I've had to use that due to GUI problems before. But if you haven't 
already got SSH set up it's a bit involved to do so.

Do other QT applications have problems, or is it just LyX? You could also try 
the beta for 2.4 which uses Qt6 (see https://ftp.lip6.fr/pub/lyx/devel/lyx-2.4/)

Me too (using Debian for more than 20 years).  My lyx problem is new and

You might try "grep template_path ~/.lyx/preferences" and make sure that 
your template directory is correctly set (~/.lyx/templates). If LyX is 
looking for templates in the wrong place, that might explain why it's 
defaulting to the wrong class.

Have you (or your IT techie) installed TeXLive2023 on all hosts? If not, I
recommend that you have that done, especially directly from the TUG (TeX
Users Group) web site . It has explicit
instructions for downloading and installing from the Web and that way all
hosts have the same, and most current, installation. That should resolve any
issues.

He can also periodically update the installation from the TUG web site with
a shell script in each host's /etc/cron.weekly (or the Debian equivalent).
Here (on Slackware) my script, update-tlmgr.sh, contains:
cd /usr/local/texlive/2023/bin/x86_64-linux/
./tlmgr update --self --all
./fmtutil-sys --sys -all
cd

This keeps the installation current.

Hi Rich,

The fact that you're using double sided printing indicates to me that
your expected output format is paper. If the binding is at all stiff,
0.9" seems like too short an inside margin to me. 11pt is nice, but it
makes for some problems for those whose vision isn't correctable to
20/20. For those reasons I use 12pt or 14pt, but of course if you
expect your readership to be primarily young, 11pt is good. 11pt
would save a lot of printing cost compared to 12pt. I'm glad you didn't
choose 10pt.

I presume your choice of page size is done based on what book sizes can
be done for what price.

Bringing out a new book is always exciting.

That's consistent with what I read years ago when I consumed several books

The document is a PDF. I've set the page size to US Executive (8"x10"), text

Hi Rich,

I've done some research on this topic. Generally speaking, each line
should be a little less than 70 characters. If they get much longer,
the reader has a hard time going to the proper next line. If they get
much shorter, you get increases hyphenation and funky inter-word
spacing.

Beyond that, a lot of readability hinges on where the reader will be
reading. Paper? PDF on full sized monitor? PDF on mobile device? ePub?
Combination of preceding?

By the way Rich, if it ends up that you need a custom size, let's say 5
inches high and 3 inches wide to fit a mobile device, I can help you
with that, as I'm already doing it. My method works for the standard
book document class; you can translate it into KOMA, which I believe is
your document class of choice.

How often do you use PSTricks' graphics in a legal document?

Book and I kept changing that to Report.)

Rich,

Are you saying that the doc class within a document kept changing back 
to Book on its own, or that the default class kept changing back to 
Book? I would have no explanation for the former. The latter might 
indicate a permissions problem with the directory where the default is 
saved.


Speaking of which, if you go to ~/.lyx/templates, you should see a file 
named defaults.lyx. That's your default starting document. All else 
failing, try creating an empty doc with the Report class, saving it to 
/tmp with the name defaults.lyx, and then moving it over to the 
templates directory.

Debian 12

[John White]

We recently updated the three computers used by staff to Debian 12.  My 
computer is still Debian 11.  

Though mine still works fine, none of the updated computers will generate pdfs. 
 
They all show an error to the effect that it can't find pstricks.sty.

Our IT guy is here now trying to fix it but I thought a quick email to this 
site might produce some helpful comments.

Sigh. Yes, I did that yesterday with a new document. The default when the
new doc opened was KOMA-Script Book. I changed it to KOMA-Script Report and

Re: Easiest to read page size

[Eckhard Höffner]

This is a question that cannot be answered as such. If you have a large 
font, the page size will generally be larger too. The usual font size 
for American science paperbacks is 9 x 6 inches and 11 pt.In general, up 
to 65 letters (including spaces) are legible; but there can be 80. If 
the line spacing is large, the page can also be larger because more 
letters can fit into one line.

You have quite a few on your system already. The bibtex ones are *.bst. 
The biblatex ones are *.bbx. Although I have not used it, I'd suggest 
you try biblatex. It is designed to be much easier to customize. "Good 
working knowledge in LaTeX should be sufficient to design new 
bibliography and citation styles", or so says the manual. The language 
used in bibtex files is a very primitive stack-based language and is not 
easy to work with, though I did manage to write a custom bst file a 
while ago.

No. I restored the unmodified copy from Tuesday's backup and added the

Maybe it's possible even now with command-sequence lfun?


Thank you for pointing me at command-sequence LFUN. I tried to automate 
it with command-sequence of comparing, then executing save as 
(buffer-write-as) but it didn't work. probably because the comparison is 
asynchronous, the buffer-write-as fails, logging that no document was open.


A parameter for the destination file name would be a great thing.

I am happy to create an account for you if there is an interest.


Yes, definitely. You may use my name as username. Maybe it's easiest if 
you set a temporary password and email it to me (i suppose there is a 
possibility to change your password in TRAC).



BTW beware that comparison function in LyX is not without issues:

Using LyX as merge tool for git

[Markus Oppmann]

Hi fellow LyX users,

Just wanted to share with you how it's possible to use the compare 
feature of LyX to resolve git merge conflicts by registering LyX as a 
merge tool for git:


You can add the following snippet to your ~/.gitconfig file:

For UNIX systems (should work but didn't test since i'm on Windows):

[mergetool "lyx"]
	cmd = \"/path/to/lyx" -x \"dialog-show compare run \\\"`realpath 
\"$LOCAL\"`\\\" \\\"`realpath \"$REMOTE\"`\\\"\"


and for Windows:

[mergetool "lyx"]
	cmd = \"C:\\Program Files (x86)\\LyX_2.3\\bin\\lyx\" -x \"dialog-show 
compare run \\\"`cygpath -wa \"$LOCAL\"`\\\" \\\"`cygpath -wa 
\"$REMOTE\"`\\\"\"


When you have a git-managed LyX file with merge conflicts you can then 
run "git mergetool -t lyx path/to/file.lyx" from inside the git 
repository of that file.


This should make LyX start up in compare mode and give you the ability 
to accept / reject the changes.
When finished, you need to override the conflicted file with the 
generated changes1.lyx file, close the LyX window and confirm to git 
that the merge was successful.


This strategy could maybe also be adapted to other VCS if they have the 
possibility to generate local and remote file without conflict markers.


the important part is the LyX Function to start the comparison process:

"dialog-show compare run /path/to/oldfile /path/to/newfile"

(By the way there is bug item #8440 
 requesting such a function. 
Wanted to add this as comment, but i don't have an account in the bug 
tracker yet and it seems like registering is disabled)


Should i write about this in the LyX Wiki? Where would be a good place 
for it? maybe ? or 
?


Hoping someone will find it useful.

Yours, Markus

Line spacing in List of Figures

[Les Denham]

All,

I have a rather abstruse problem which may not have a solution, but I
would appreciate any suggestions.

I am typesetting a novel with LyX, using the Memoir Class (I am very
familiar with it), but I have come across an unusual problem. Most
novels do not have figures, but this one does. I do want a List of
Figures, but I don't want the figures numbered.

I can achieve this by removing the caption from each float and replacing
it with: 
\legend{picture name} 
\addcontentsline{lof}{figure}{picture name}

This gives the "picture name" as the caption, and in the List of
Figures at the left end of the line, with a dotted leader to the
correct page number.

The remaining problem is that the line spacing in the List of Figures
is smaller if there is more than one figure in a chapter. I would like
to have uniform line spacing in the List of Figures, regardless of
chapter breaks.

Does anyone know how to do this?

Les

The \parbox and the \label are the problem. However, a \parbox inside the
eqaution is a bit curious. You should use \text from amsmath or at least
\textit:

 \begin{equation}\label{k5y}
   k=5 \text{ and there is some } y\in N(v_1)\cap N(v_4)
   \text{ with } N_{G-C}(y)=\{z\} \text{ and } d_{G-C}(z)\ge 3.

The \label will still be the problem for tex2lyx, because it merges the
equation number (1) with the label to (1k5y).  This looks like a bug
in tex2lyx.

I can understand that we may get some Latex errors from the importing process,

I do not see any way of accomplishing this via the GUI, but it can be done by 
means of the command interpreter with a pair of commands.

Say you want to delete section 2.2 of your document
    1. Place the cursor at the title of section 2.2.
    2. Issue in the command interpreter "section-select". This will select the 
whole section 2.2.
    3. To delete the entire section, then enter this command: 
"char-delete-forward". This will erase the whole section.

These steps work for any kind of sectioning (division of the text 
hierarchycally): parts, chapters, paragraphs, etc. You could even customize 
your UI file to bind these pair of commands to a button in the toolbars.



I was about to suggest to add a "Delete Section" menu entry to the TOC context 
menu. But that doesn't work for some reason and I am not sure why.

In any case, such a (working) menu entry should probably be available.

Daniel



Maybe there is some kind of cursor update missing after the "section-select" 
command?

command-sequence section-select;char-delete-forward

apparently works fine when the cursor is already in the heading but not when 
executed merely from the context-menu.

Daniel


Apparently the command "char-delete-forward" (and its twin "char-delete-backward") is 
"forbidden" in that location. Thus, adding the item
  "Delete Section|e" "command-sequence section-select; char-delete-forward"
to stdcontext.inc does not work, by design.

Try it by yourself with the debugging category "action" enabled in the messages 
pane (View > Messages Pane). Otherwise, see the debug messages attached.

It may be possible, but I do not know how.

What works is to add a context-menu entry to the "context-edit" menu.

I don't know whether it is really by design that it does not work from 
the outline. A command being disabled is often dependent on a rather 
coarse condition. It might still be just an oversight.


In any case, it seems non-ideal that the command cannot be executed from 
the outline.

I'll remove the old directories in /usr/share/ then try tlmgr and pdftex
again.

Apparently the command "char-delete-forward" (and its twin 
"char-delete-backward") is "forbidden" in that location. Thus, adding the item
 "Delete Section|e" "command-sequence section-select; char-delete-forward"
to stdcontext.inc does not work, by design.

Try it by yourself with the debugging category "action" enabled in the messages 
pane (View > Messages Pane). Otherwise, see the debug messages attached.

It may be possible, but I do not know how.

I looked at the choices presented when a right click was made on an item in
the outline pane, but didn't think to use the `Select section' key. Yeah,
that does work to delete the selected section.

Thanks for spending your time on this.

I have just run a couple of tests and, unexpectedly, the sequence of commands 
works when added to the toolbars (only if cursor is in the title), but not when 
added to the context menu of the TOC.
See the attached (diff) files to see the changes I made to "stdcontext.inc" and 
"stdtoolbars.inc", and try it out by yourself.

I do not see any way of accomplishing this via the GUI, but it can be done by 
means of the command interpreter with a pair of commands.

Say you want to delete section 2.2 of your document
   1. Place the cursor at the title of section 2.2.
   2. Issue in the command interpreter "section-select". This will select the 
whole section 2.2.
   3. To delete the entire section, then enter this command: 
"char-delete-forward". This will erase the whole section.

These steps work for any kind of sectioning (division of the text 
hierarchycally): parts, chapters, paragraphs, etc. You could even customize 
your UI file to bind these pair of commands to a button in the toolbars.

If you do not know how to open the command interpreter, do this
  1. Place the mouse pointer on the toolbars.
  2. Right click and set the toolbar "Command Buffer" visibility to "On".

This will bring up a text box to type command in. Use the tab key when typing 
to autocomplete commands.

Hope this helps. Kind regards.

Asked for peer confirmation on IRC as well. A person replied to me confirming 
the problem with version 1.3; but also told me that this problem does not 
happen in the upstream version (1.4-dev) of Inkscape.

That person recommended me to file a bug so that the "fix" is backported to the 
next release of Inkscape (1.3.1).

Thanks for the suggestion! I stopped using Inkscape because the packaged 
AppImage is quite slow compared to other options, such as cairosvg. Will give 
it a try.

I've re-compiled failed builds before and didn't think of doing so this

Deleting outline entry

[Rich Shepard]

A document that had built before now fails with an error. I'm trying to
isolate the error and want to delete chapters one-by-one before and after
the highlighted error.

Is there a way to delete an outline entry? A right-click on the entry does
not offer that option and the delete key removes characters in the
chapter/section title, not the chapter/section itself.

Regards,

Rich

Yes, perfect. I've done the change. I also verified that there is no
more missed case in stdinsets (there's another foreground case in
IPADeco, but this one's correct).

Best,
Jürgen
