Re: Lyx error

[Paolo M]

Your lyx file raises the same error.
The option 'Use non-TeX fonts' cannot be selected, although the required
fontspec package is installed.
As i try to view the pdf rendering i get:

"The external program

xelatex

finished with an error. It is recommended you fix the cause of the external
program's error (check the logs). "


What is xelatex?
I suspect my texlive installation cannot accept spaces in file names and
directories any more.

thank you

Not only that, but on my computer using LyX 2.3.6.1 on an up-to-date

In order to use Noto fonts, I took your document in LyX and did the

Alas, the bug tracker is currently broken and the persons who can fix
it are unavailable. Meanwhile, please report to lyx-devel.

If I tell LyX to go ahead and create a PDF anyway, then various bits come out a

I have searched for forums discussing this issue but cannot find anything that

I would be very grateful for any advice. I am wary of continuing with LyX if 
this means I won’t be able to format any files.

Thanks,

Daniel:

LyX refers to PDF graphics as "pdf6" file format. The problem is that the 
button images are compressed SVG files, and LyX does not know how to convert 
them to graphics on your system.

As Cris mentioned, you probably need to install a graphics converter program. 
Once you do so, reconfigure LyX (Tools >Reconfigure) and restart it, and you 
should be good to go.

Just to confirm that this is the problem, open LyX and go to Tools > 
Preferences... > File Handling > Converters. In the list of converter 
definitions, highlight "SVG (compressed) -> PDF (graphics)" and see if there is 
anything in the "Converter:" field. My guess is that it's blank. After 
installing a suitable converter program and reconfiguring LyX, this should be 
filled in by the configuration script.

I'm on Linux rather than MacOS, but for it's worth I'm using rsvg for this, and 
my converter field reads "rsvg-convert -f pdf -o $$o $$i". According to various 
stuff I found in a quick Google search, you can install librsvg on a Mac if you 
have Homebrew installed.

Paul


Hi Paul, Cris, Scott,

Thanks for your helpful suggestions, LyX is now up and running.

Paul - that was definitely the problem, the SVG to PDF converter was empty.

It seems the step I was missing was reconfiguring LyX: I had managed to install 
homebrew and rsvg but didn’t know how to get LyX to join the dots.

Scott, thanks for offering the 2.3.0 version - I think I’ll stick with what I 
have for now. If you are involved in developing the next iteration, I also 
found that the example files referenced in the tutorial were missing from my 
installation package (the example folder was empty) and I had to download them 
separately from the web.

Thanks again,

Daniel

Hi pgr,

Cris's and Paul's replies should help you figure out the issue. I just
wanted to note that this issue should be fixed for 2.3.0. If you are
interested in testing the development version of 2.3.0, let me know and
I can give you instructions.

Best,

Re: LyX error: "No information for converting svgz format files to pdf6. Define a converter in the preferences.”

[Cris Fuhrman]

I'm not a Mac user, but it sounds like an SVG support problem. I personally
like Inkscape for SVG, but there are other solutions.

I would try to

   - install inkscape on MacOS
   - make sure LyX sees the directory for it in the path section of the
   settings
   - do the "configure" command. My understanding is that it will create
   the SVGx to Y converters.

Hope this is useful!

For me the problem also occurred without any ERT, and the workaround

I'm not sure if this is a bug is reported or not. I would suggest that
you report it and set the component to tabular. It is better to have

some weird LYX error

[Y. Xu]

Dear Sir/Madam,

I've been using LYX for more than a year, this is the first time I ran into 
this problem. After updating to the latest LYX version, it kept showing this 
error ! Package babel Error: You haven't specified a language option. (I 
copied the whole message and attached it below) If I go to Miktex package 
manager, it refuse to let me install any package. Miktex package manager 
reports another error, Windows API error 5: Access is denied. It never 
happened before...It seems to be a stupid question, but I cannot work with my 
team members on the repository without LYX...really need some help.

Thanks a lot!

Best,
Yan

Hullo Yan,

 I had this problem earlier in the year. I think babel changed the way 
it functions and you now need to explicitly choose language definition 
files. First, close any program (like LyX) that might be using your TeX 
distribution. This can sometimes cause MiKTeX problems when trying to 
download files. Sometimes I've had to go to the Windows Task Manager 
(ctrl+shift+esc) to explicitly shut down a latex process that is 
continuing to run because of some earlier error (generally caused by me) 
in LyX or TeXworks. Now right click on the MiKTeX package manager and 
run as administrator. Scroll down the list to babel, below which you 
will see a long list of separate language files. Select the ones you 
want -- babel-english probably, and any others (click on them while 
holding down the control key) then click the + button top left, which 
should lead to MiKTeX downloading them into your MiKTeX distribution. 
This resolved the problem for me.


If the Access is denied error persists, try rebooting your computer.

Andrew

Hullo Yan,

 I had this problem earlier in the year. I think babel changed the way 
it functions and you now need to explicitly choose language definition 
files. First, close any program (like LyX) that might be using your TeX 
distribution. This can sometimes cause MiKTeX problems when trying to 
download files. Sometimes I've had to go to the Windows Task Manager 
(ctrl+shift+esc) to explicitly shut down a latex process that is 
continuing to run because of some earlier error (generally caused by me) 
in LyX or TeXworks. Now right click on the MiKTeX package manager and 
run as administrator. Scroll down the list to babel, below which you 
will see a long list of separate language files. Select the ones you 
want -- babel-english probably, and any others (click on them while 
holding down the control key) then click the + button top left, which 
should lead to MiKTeX downloading them into your MiKTeX distribution. 
This resolved the problem for me.


If the Access is denied error persists, try rebooting your computer.

Good question. You mean ~/.lyx2.0 to ~/.lyx right?
I think that should work because across minor versions I don't think
LyX makes format changes.
However, if you install lyx2.1 and then link ~.lyx2.1 to ~/.lyx you
will undoubtedly run into trouble if you try to run lyx after running
lyx2.1. Another source of trouble is if you run lyx and lyx2.0 at the
same time.
The above discussion only applies if you plan on running the previous
LyX version again. For example, if you only want to run lyx2.0 and no
longer want to run lyx, linking should work fine, but in that case you
could also just remove .lyx2.0 and rename .lyx to .lyx2.0.

As always, back up everything before trying anything.

Just to confirm, installing lyx2.0 from the PPA did indeed solve the
previous error?

 So I can run lyx2.0 without a problem, but I still can't run lyx (same error

OK. Then I guess just stick with the PPA version (you can remove the

OK. Then I guess just stick with the PPA version (you can remove the
PPA if you want so that it doesn't keep updating) and set whatever
links and aliases you want.

Re: Another Lyx Error Detected

[Uwe Stöhr]

 Another problem I am having is with too many floating figures. I have a
 large document with anywhere from 3-100 figures within each chapter.
 I keep getting the error regarding too many floats.

This is not a LyX bug but a restriction of LaTeX. LaTeX's floating algorithm works perfectly for a 
few floats but will fail for too many floats. The limit of currently unprocessed floats is therefore 
set to 18. There is a way to increase this limit to 36 floats but this only cures the symptom.


It can be that LaTeX cannot process one particular float and therefore runs into the limit. Fixing 
this is not trivial. The best is to cut parts of your document beginning from the end. After every 
cutting try to compile it as PDF. When it compiles, you know that the problematic float is within 
the recently deleted part of your document.


Either a float setting is not correct (like rotation settings), or there are too many floats for the 
page. In this case adopt the float placement options as described in sec. 3.5 of the EmbededObjects 
manual that you find in LyX's Help menu. If you have many pages without text, you should use the 
page of floats option.


 I worked around this issue by placing /clearpage every so often to make it 
produce a PDF.

If you are using a book document class, you need to use \cleardoublepage.
But you should nevertheless only use clearpage if it is really necessary because the resulting 
whitespace cannot be avoided easily.


Important note: The too many floats error can also occur when having too many margin notes. 
Therefore also check this.


regards Uwe

p.s. Such problems are better reported at the lyx-users mailing list I'm 
forwarding this mail to.

No PDF preview in LyX: Error converting to loadable format

[Bjørn Liene Gundersen]

Hi,

I allow myself to ask the lyx user list one more question before I
become an expert :-) I am using LyX 1.6.4, the Complete Alternative
Windows installation. When I insert PDF document in a figure float,
LyX gives me the message Error converting to loadable format. I have
entered the Tools-Preferences
dialog and the Converters pane, but no luck here. Is there a way to
get around this problem or is it simply a bug?

localization of LyX error message

[Wolfgang Engelmann]

Could somebody explain the following error message:

l.1349 ...cite {OCP95}{{305}{13.4.2}{figure.13.58}}

1349 is probably the line in the tex-file
OCP95 is the bib-key of my cited reference
I do not know what {305} indicates.
{13.4.2} is the subsection
and {figure.13.58}, well, one of my figures.

Does this mean, the error (citation OCP95) is between the subsection 13.4.2 
header and figure 13.58? And 305? Number of lines after the header?

About Lyx Error Messages

[Ralf]

Dear Gurus,

sometimes even in Lyx you do something wrong and you get an error message. Most
of the time they are not very usefull - they simply indicate that something went
wrong with a short excerpt of what caused the trouble - the excerpt however is
not enough (for me at least) to find out what exactly went wrong and how to fix
it. You always have to go bug-hunting...

Maybe that is by choice of design to let the user chase it, but if TeXnicCenter
can do it, I dare to say, Lyx can (should?) do it.

TeXnicCenter let's you browse through the errors and puts you to the right
place, which is very very helpfull.

Is something like this planned in a future release or maybe it is already there
and I just missed it?

How do you people solve things like this?

LyX does this as well. What do you miss? More longer excerpts from the error 
messages?

In many cases LyX is not able to find the true location of the
offending code (e.g. if inside a float or a macro definition in the
preamble).

How about a button that takes you to the Error message in the LaTeX log?

Also, I am missing a search feature in the LaTeX log window.

Lyx error/configuration

[Les Sharpe]

Good Morning All,

Suddenly my Lyx program has no available document settings.  Yesterday 
it was fine - today it won't work!


How do I recover the settings in the Document - Settings so that at 
least Book, Report and Article are available to me please? 

I am reasonably computer literate but I am not a programmer/developer 
and I do not fully understand the  Help -  Customization file.   I 
had Lyx set up for me  but that source of expertise is not now available.


Any help would be appreciated please.

Cheers,


Les.

The first thing to try is ToolsReconfigure. Then restart. If that 
doesn't work, try removing your user directory and then doing it. Where 
that is will depend upon your platform, etc. Speaking of which: What is 
your platform etc?

Hi Les,
All the layout format, .i.e. article, book, etc... are located in 
C:\Program Files\LyX15\Resources\layouts
Maybe worth checking they are there.

Re: Showing graphics in LyX - Error converting to loadable format

[Fernando Roig]

Hi Mark:

I had a similar problem and in my case it was caused because the LyX's  
temporary directory set in Preferences  Paths contained non ascii  
characters (e.g. accented vogals). I  created and empty directory  
without accented characters and set it to be the temp dir.

Showing graphics in LyX - Error converting to loadable format

[Mark Jago]

I have problems showing graphics in LyX (eps-files). They appear as normal
in the generated output file but in LyX I get the message Error converting
to loadable format.

I started with the pre-installed Mac OS X on a new Macbook and installed the
700 MB large MacTeX 2007 without manipulating with configurations. Then I
downloaded LyX-1.5.0rc1-Mac.dmg and installed it. Graphics are not shown in
LyX!

Why is LyX not showing graphics?
/Mark

If I start LyX with lyx -dbg graphics I get the following:

$ ./lyx -dbg graphics
