I am using the LyXWinInstaller version of LyX 1.5.6, and the Preferences
box shows that I am using the aspell ('library') version. I have
specified a file path for my personal dictionary, but the file remains
empty.

I have installed the aspell6-en-6.0-0 and aspell6-uk-1.4.0-0 dictionary
files,
and these have sent files to ApplicationData in my profile. I am set up
using
a roaming profile, but I have set LyX to save documents and my personal
dictionary to a folder in my (out-of-profile) C:\ directory.

Any tips on how to debug this problem? Can I do something to make LyX tell
me when it's failed to save my personal dictionary, and why it might have
failed?



I had this problem with LyX 1.5.6 (without the roaming profile issue), 
and I can't recall what the cause was, because there were a couple of 
Aspell issues going on concurrently.  One was whether Aspell (the copy 
used by LyX) and its dictionaries were both installed the same way -- 
sometimes one is installed for a single user and the other for all 
users, which is a different directory tree -- and the other was that I 
had a full installation of Aspell left over from an earlier version of 
LyX, and earlier versions required that it be installed in C:\Aspell. 
What worked for me was to leave the full version in C:\Aspell alone, add 
a subdirectory C:\Aspell\Personal, and in Tools  Preferences...

In the body of your document, before the first figure, insert a TeX

This kind of issue has nothing to do with LyX: It's a LaTeX matter. (The
same is true of your third question, already answered by someone else.)
So if you want to do this kind of customization, get a copy of /The
LaTeX Companion/, which is a good guide to some of the most commonly
used LaTeX packages. Try putting this in ERT at the beginning of your
document:
\renewcommand{\figurename}[1]{FIG #1}
It seems only to work, however, with some classes: It works with book,
but not with paper. It does seem to work with report, so maybe it will
work for you.

NOTE TO LYX MAINTAINERS: It does not work to put the above command in
the preamble. I'd count that as a bug. (This is true both in 1.3.7 and
in 1.4.1.) The reason seems to be that the babel package is loaded only
after the rest of the preamble has been.

I'm not a LyX maintainer, but this point has been discussed already AFAIR.
babel is loaded after the preamble without arguments, so that you may
load is yourself in the preamble (even with a different option than the class

to get your result:
\usepackage{babel}
\renewcommand{\figurename}[1]{FIG #1}
should do it.

If you want the behaviour permanently, you may change the cfg file, e.g. in 
frenchb.cfg:
\addto\captionsfrench{\def\figurename{{\scshape Figure}}}

The page number is kept in a counter called page. You have to set it to the
correct number.

Put in ERT at the top of your document

Go to Edit-Preferences...-File Formats, highlight PDF (ps2pdf) in the

for PDF (pdflatex) and PDF (dvipdfm),  then click Save.


You may also need to go to Edit-Preferences...-Paths and add the path

to the PATH Prefix (separated from the rest by a semicolon).


If you use Acrobat Reader, take a look at 
http://wiki.lyx.org/Windows/LyXWinTips#toc1.  It's a work-around for the 
problem that you can't preview changes to a document in Reader if an 
earlier version of the document is open (in other words, you have to 
remember to close the PDF before you edit and preview again).


2. In the figure caption I want lyx to write FIG instead of Figure before

In the body of your document, before the first figure, insert a TeX 
inset (also known as ERT, either Insert-TeX, Ctrl-L, or use the TEX 
button on the tool bar), and enter \renewcommand{\figurename}{FIG.} in 
the inset.

Look in Preferences  File Formats and tell LyX what program you want to
use to view PDF.

This kind of issue has nothing to do with LyX: It's a LaTeX matter. (The
same is true of your third question, already answered by someone else.)
So if you want to do this kind of customization, get a copy of /The
LaTeX Companion/, which is a good guide to some of the most commonly
used LaTeX packages. Try putting this in ERT at the beginning of your
document:
\renewcommand{\figurename}[1]{FIG #1}
It seems only to work, however, with some classes: It works with book,
but not with paper. It does seem to work with report, so maybe it will
work for you.

NOTE TO LYX MAINTAINERS: It does not work to put the above command in
the preamble. I'd count that as a bug. (This is true both in 1.3.7 and
in 1.4.1.) The reason seems to be that the babel package is loaded only
after the rest of the preamble has been.

babel is loaded after the preamble without arguments, so that you may

to get your result:
\usepackage{babel}

Re: Help about Lyx and Latex

[Peter Martin]

Raul,

Firstly, sorry for confusing you with llncs.sty!. I really meant llncs.cls.
Anyway, here is what I did to get the llncs style working. I assume that you
are working on linux.

1. As root, install the attached llncs.cls file (also available at the
springer web site) into /usr/share/texmf/tex/latex/base
2. Run texhash
3. As your normal (not root) user, start LyX and run Edit-reconfigure. If
you look in the console output, you should see llncs being recognised
4. Close Lyx and restart Lyx.
5. Open your document and set the document style to 'Springer lecture notes
in comp sci.'
6. When you view as postscript, the output should look just like a Springer
llncs paper.
7 To export, choose Latex. You will get a filename.tex file in the
directory where the filename.lyx file resides.

To check that this is OK, run LaTeX on filename.tex (you may need to run
lLaTeX more than once) and then use xdvi to check that your output is as
expected.

The filename.tex file is the one you want to send to the editor, together
with the fiels used for the figures.

Hope this helps

Pete

Given the particular layout file is installed (llncs.layout) and
recognized by LyX, than you should just switch the style in
Layout/Document/Class, fix the missing and badly converted
environments and _then_ export to LaTeX or whatever else
you want to do with the document.

See your X-server documentation how you can change the access
control. Usually X servers accept connections originating from the same
machine you're running it (localhost) but not from anywhere else.
On Unix you could try
xhost +
command to disable access control and allow connections from everywhere.
Try something similar -- as a test -- with your X server.

HOWEVER! Do not leave access control disabled for your normal
use. Otherwise anyone could connect your X server and give any commands,
maybe opening a terminal window and sending d, e, l, , c, :, \, *, ., *
keypresses.

Here is what your lyxprofile should look like:


# Set up your home directory (in Cygwin syntax)
export HOME=//d/LyxDocs

# Set up your Language (if you do not want English)
#export LANG=DE

# 
# Below this line you should not change anything if you're
# not familiar with configuration of an unix application!
# 
export PATH=/usr/bin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/X11R6/bin:/bin:$PATH
export USER=`id -un`
export DISPLAY=localhost:0.0
export MAKE_MODE=unix

unset DOSDRIVE
unset DOSDIR
unset TMPDIR
unset TMP

for i in /etc/profile.d/*.sh ; do
  if [ -f $i ]; then
. $i
  fi
done

cd $HOME

test -f ./.bashrc  . ./.bashrc
*
and your runlyx.bat in your cygwin directory should look like:

*
@echo off
:: START YOUR X-SERVER HERE

:: First change into its directory (The path should
:: be quoted if there is any space character in it!)
:: Then call the executable, i.e. xwin32 here!
:: 
echo Starting X-Win32 ...
cd F:\Program Files\StarNet\X-Win32
start .\xwin32.exe

:: Change your geometry settings in the last line so
:: the LyX window will fit on your screen!
:: 
cd F:\cygwin\bin
start .\lyxwin32.exe -geometry 900x800+100+5
*
When you start lyx, this is the file that you run, not any other.  It starts
your X server then Lyx.
Hope this helps,
Amer

 Hi,
 This is my second mail on topic, but I don't know how to solve my problem
 in other ways.

 I've installed lyx for windows (1.1.6 fixc) in this environment:

 - Pc Laptop Pentium III (Acer 524TE)
 - Windows Millenium Edition
 - cygwin
 - X-win32 or Exceed
 - MikTex

 When I try to start lyx it says: Unable to access X display - exiting

 Someone told me to modify the DISPLAY variable in the file /etc/lyxprofile
 in order to change the value localhost to the true IP address of my
 machine, but nothing seems to change.

 I have no firewall or other protections.

 Someone could help me ???
 Thanks a lot

Or try running lyx with argument -display localhost:0

Re: Help with Lyx for windows

[Claus Hentschel]

 Hi,
 My Lyx for windows doesn't work and I'm terrible sad about using Ms word
 instead, I installed lyx 1.1.6 fix2 c,cygwin, miktex and I have two
x-servers:

 Exceed
 Xwin32

 When I start Lyx I receive the message: Unable to open X display -
Exiting,
 with all the x-servers above.

 Anyone can help me ??

Just for information what I have been answered to that topic some days ago:


There may be two reasons for that:

1. Edit C:\Cygwin\lyxprofile and set the correct IP address, followed by an
':0' for DISPLAY. If you have an Ethernet card installed on your system
please use it's IP address instead of 127.0.0.1! Most X-Servers
automatically serve the default IP address of your system. 127.0.0.1 (or
localhost, i.e. the corresponding net name) is only valifd if you do have a
DUN on your system.

2. If you have installed a firewall on your system (like me) than you have
to create a new rule so that LyX can connect to the X-server. (Take a look
at your firewall distributor, to learn how this has to be made!)

 I use the x-server Exceed from Hummingbird which worked correctly in the
 previous release.

Because it was running I expect that editing lyxprofile could fix the
problem!

Can you give me the results of ``rpm -qil xforms''?

You can try just installing the RPMs on my machine:

ftp://ftp.sylvan.com/pub/lyx

There is an xforms RPM there that works for Intel-based Redhat 6.X systems.

If you have problems, Email me.
