Re: Reconfigure from script
if LyX is running you can save all open buffers to disk and then quit by way of something like (multiple levels of double quotes are required (on the Mac due to the space in ~/Library/Application Support/Lyx-2.3)) pushd "$(dirname "$(find ~/Library -name .lyxpipe.in -type p)")" echo "LYXCMD:test:buffer-write-all" > .lyxpipe.in echo "LYXCMD:test:lyx-quit" > .lyxpipe.in and then (on the Mac) /Applications/LyX.app/Contents/Resources/configure.py osascript -e 'tell application id "org.lyx.lyx" to activate' or (on Linux, but since I use the Mac it's not tested) configure.py lyx & and on all popd greetings, el On 19/02/2023 20:35, Richard Kimberly Heck wrote: > On 2/18/23 18:11, Mark Livingstone wrote: >> Hi People, >> >> I am using LyX 2.3.7 on Mac OS Ventura. >> >> Is it possible to run reconfigure from script in the terminal, if so >> how? > > Just execute the file configure.py.

Hi all, Exactly what is the difference between performing Tools=>Reconfigure within the LyX IDE environment, and performing /usr/local/share/lyx/configure.py at the command prompt? The former makes LyX aware of new environments I've put in the layout file, the latter for some reason does not. Are there some arguments I need to add to the configure.py command line? Does it need to be done in a specific directory? Are there any environment variables that effect configure.py? configure.py --help didn't appear to tell me anything useful. I really need a way to do a proper reconfigure that makes new environments from the layout file available within LyX, and I need to do it from a shellscript.

LyX Message Pane shows the configuration status, however it is not turned on automatically. Maybe you can request from the developers a feature that shows the messages pane during the configuration.

Beware that pushd and popd are bash-only, and do not appear in dash or
any /bin/sh one should be using for shellscripts. I'm of the opinion,
especially after the Heartbleed fiasco, that bash is just too big an
attack surface to use for shellscripts.

Nice. Thanks for sharing I actually never saw that trick for saving the

One can also do
( cd dir ; ./command )
But concerning the alias, I am a bit surprised because it seems to
create files at the root of the home directory.

Hi
I recently installed LyX 2.2.2 on my brand new Dell workstation, and
use Windows 10 Pro (it was set up with Win 10 Enterprise when I
installed LyX 2.2.2, but I have just "downgraded" it to Pro to have
faster updates...)
When I installed LyX 2.2.2, there was some message (error message?)
related to MikTeX. I just installed Andrew Parsloe's files for
numbering theorems etc. after chapter number, and then try to
reconfigure LyX.
This is what happens:
1. First, the following message pops up:
cid:part1.88A46D20.181CB5FC@uni-tuebingen.de
2. When I click OK, the response is as follows:
cid:part2.F4462D50.840B0082@uni-tuebingen.de
Does this mean that I have a problem? Should I un-install and
re-install LyX? Should I re-install v. 2.2.2 (wasn’t there some
problems with 2.2.2?), or install v. 2.2.1?
Thanks,
Bernt

Thanks, Wolfgang. I’ve done this several times, but the MikTeX error
message persists…

You may be missing the package miktex-jpeg-bin-2.9. Run the MiKTeX
package manager as administrator and check down the list of files. If
you have the package it will show a date when it was installed (in the
fifth column). If you haven't got the package there will be a blank
there, in which case highlight the entry then click the + button in the
upper left (below File) in the package manager dialogue and (provided

Re: Reconfigure with Ubuntu
Jason Waskiewicz wrote: I've been using LyX for several years now on Fedora Linux, Windows XP, and OS X. I've never had any trouble adding extra layouts or text classes. Recently, I switched to Ubuntu Linux (8.04 -- Hardy Heron). LyX will not allow me to reconfigure. I even did a fresh install without my additions and it simply will not reconfigure. The exact message is: The system reconfiguration has failed. Default textclass is used but LyX may not be able to work properly. Please reconfigure again if needed.

Reconfigure on Windows freezes Lyx

problems with LyX 1.5.4: compile and reconfigure
Dear all, Some problems with the released LyX 1.5.4. My OS is Win XP. I've used the Lyx Win Installer - Complete to install it, and, at the same time, install MikTeX 2.7. I had first uninstalled MikTeX 2.6. It works wonderful, thanks a lot I can read my former Lyx files. But there are at least two problems: - when I want to compile (to dvi, pdf or ps) - when I want to reconfigure after updating MikTeK or installed a new package the result is the same: LyX 1.5.4 crashes down. I've launched it several times, same result... and before a new installation (only LyX 1.5.4, no MikTeX), too... Any idea? Is it possible that the problem come from MikTex? Thanks a lot for your help. ST

Reconfigure oddity
I have recently updated my little Zaurus 3100 to a new version of debian (armel), so re-installed LyX. I wanted to make sure it had access to everything it really needed, so I ran reconfigure. I have the debian-sid lyx-1.5.2-1 package installed. I tried to compile lyx on the machine, but it is a long, slow process with the limited memory I have available. Sometimes it will crash in mid-compile of some of the larger object files, so make has to be re-started often. However, the debian package works fine. The output of the command is stored in a LyX file, but my LyX could not read it. That file claims to be lyxformat 2.15, for LyX 0.11. Current Lyx 1.5.2 uses lyxformat 276. The file is not readable, and my LyX could not convert it to readable format. My usual trick, simply changing the format number, also does not work. It seems that my machine is configured adequately, but maybe it would be time to update this output format. I just checked on my desktop machine and it, also, produces the same old lyx format from reconfigure. On that machine (debian lenny, amd64 machine) I compiled lyx-1.5.2 myself. -- David L. Johnson And though I have the gift of prophecy, and understand all mysteries, and all knowledge; and though I have all faith, so that I could remove mountains, and have not charity, I am nothing.

Lyx installed on windows: can not reconfigure
Dear All: I have just installed the windows version of Lyx on my windows XP laptop. The installation files are downloaded from http://www.home.zonnet.nl/rareitsma/lyx/ (version 1.3.3). I also have MiKTex installed on my machine. After installed of Lyx (under D:\Program\lyx), I opened lyx and try to reconfigure it (Edit-Reconfigure). In the DOS window, it lists the paths name in my windows variable, and finally it outputs The system cannot find the path specified. I notice that D:\Program\MiKTex\Main\tex\latex is already in the PATH. I am not sure what the reconfiguration function is looking for. Anyone can help me with this? Thanks a lot!

Lyx installed on windows: can not reconfigure
Dear All: I have just installed the windows version of Lyx on my windows XP laptop. The installation files are downloaded from http://www.home.zonnet.nl/rareitsma/lyx/ (version 1.3.3). I also have MiKTex installed on my machine. After installed of Lyx (under D:\Program\lyx), I opened lyx and try to reconfigure it (Edit-Reconfigure). In the DOS window, it lists the paths name in my windows variable, and finally it outputs The system cannot find the path specified. I notice that D:\Program\MiKTex\Main\tex\latex is already in the PATH. I am not sure what the reconfiguration function is looking for. Anyone can help me with this? Thanks a lot!

I've attached a picture of what I received when I clicked on the To see what data this error report contains click here link. (error.png) Omair Hmm. Every time it finds a font, the configure script (which was written for Unix-type systems) deletes the font file from the xfonts directory and attempts to replace it with a symbolic link in the xfonts directory pointing to the font file where the configure script found it. The ln.exe program is a Unix utility used to create the symbolic link. In Windows, the equivalent of a symbolic link is a shortcut. The line in the configure script creating the symbolic link is designed to fail silently (error output is being sent to the null device). Now Windows itself does not come with a ln.exe utility, and so I assume that on a typical Windows system the command to create the link will fail every time (by virtue of calling a nonexistent program), and you would never know this, as the error messages would be diverted into a black hole. In your case, however, you seem to have a program named ln.exe installed, and it is crashing each time the script invokes it. I can't tell from your output if this is a DOS/Windows port of the ln utility or not. Cygwin, for instance, contains such a port. On the other hand, the error message could be from a totally unrelated program coincidentally named ln.exe. Given that Windows does not normally have an ln utility, and the native LyX port from Ruurd Reitsma does not contain one, I *think* you can get by without it. Accordingly, you might try the following experiment: 1. Locate the file named configure (with no extension -- *not* configure.bat, for instance) and make a backup copy. 2. Open configure in a plain text editor (such as Notepad or Wordpad -- *not* MS Word). 3. Near the bottom of the file (around line # 1498), locate and delete the following line: ln -s $filepath xfonts 2/dev/null. 4. Save the file (if you were forced to use a word processor such as Word, be sure to save it as a plain text file, with no extension). 5.
