All,

I have nothing to contribute to the discussion of licensing (I am not a
lawyer).

But isn't it significant that a major university (which has been ranked
#1 in Australia and #31 worldwide) is interested in making LyX
available in all its computer labs?

It would probably be a very easy fix to make the dialog non-modal.

FYI, the reason we have this at all is to make it possible for people to
stop processes that are going on too long. As Scott sort of said, once
we have the ability to cancel this kind of thing, the timeout may no
longer be necessary. But that is still a bit buggy.

You do not need to babysit it. Actually the process should keep going

Just Do It! — Long Export Process Halted to Query Continuation

[Daniel Kian Mc Kiernan]

Is there a way of telling LyX to continue an export process without 
pausing to query me as to whether I wish it to continue?


Occasionally, I want to convert a paper to OpenDocument format.  The 
process takes rather a long time.  I'd like to go away from it, so 
that I can be productive in some other way.  But LyX repeatedly posts 
a dialog that cries ‘The command / mk4ht oolatex ".tex" / 
has not yet completed. / / Do you want to stop it?’ So that I'm forced 
to babysit it.


On the one hand, I quite understand why a query is made.  On the other 
hand, I don't understand why a “Just Do It!” option or a user-set 
timer doesn't seem available, as there are various ways within most or 
all OSs to terminate processes.


(Obviously, if all else fails then I can punt to the command line to 
run oolatex.)

Hi,

I would like to change the subtitles from PARTS to actual numbers/chapters.

How would I be able to do this? I have followed some instructions from the

This is a slightly urgent question, so I would appreciate the quick reply.

Query about table of contents in Lyx

[Frederick FN Noronha फ्रेड्रिक नोरोन्या *فريدريك نورونيا]

Some of my chapter titles are really long. I'd like to break them into two
lines (at a point where I want it, without the line being justified).

Can someone kindly let me know how this is done using the ERT for creating
the table of contents?

Many thanks! FN

Small query on windows shortcuts

[Pavel Sanda]

Dear Windows LyX users,

while trying to figure out some error reports, can you please give us feedback
whether Ctrl+Alt shortcuts do work with your setup?
You can you use e.g.  Ctrl+Alt+1 to setup bookmark and try to navigate from
other part of your document.

We need that your reply contains:
- shortcut works or no
- windows version
- lyx version
- keyboard layout used (non-US layouts are of particular interest)

Thanks,
Pavel

Case I:
Bookmark shortcuts do not work
Windows 7
LyX 2.1.0dev
Keyboard Layout: US (International)

In this case, Ctrl+Alt+5 gives Euro sign (according to the print on the
keyboard).

Case II:
Bookmark shortcuts do work
Windows 7
LyX 2.1.0dev
Keyboard Layout: US

Case III:
Bookmark shortcuts do not work
Windows 7
LyX 2.1.0dev
Keyboard Layout: Dutch
In this case, Ctrl+Alt+5 gives 1/2 character (this is not the correct
keyboard layout)

Meanwhile we found the problem. LyX uses the framework Qt for its Windows, 
Dialogs etc.:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Qt_%28software%29
The latest versions of Qt have a bug that destroys some shortcuts on Windows. For example alt+m ( 
in math does not work and AltGr+7 on German keyboards does not give a { character.


Unfortunately the latest Windows LyX installer from came with the buggy Qt 
libraries.

So if shortcuts like alt+m ( in math do not work for you on Windows _AND_ if you installed LyX 
after March 8, 2014, then please reinstall using the fixed LyX for Windows installer:

https://sourceforge.net/projects/lyxwininstaller/files/LyXWinInstaller/2.0.7/LyX-207-Installer-4.exe/download

I will make an announcement tomorrow when the new installer is available on 
www.lyx.org.

sorry for the inconvenience and regards
Uwe

Dear Windows LyX users,

while trying to figure out some error reports, can you please give us feedback
whether Ctrl+Alt shortcuts do work with your setup?
You can you use e.g.  Ctrl+Alt+1 to setup bookmark and try to navigate from
other part of your document.


Meanwhile we found the problem. LyX uses the framework "Qt" for its Windows, 
Dialogs etc.:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Qt_%28software%29
The latest versions of Qt have a bug that destroys some shortcuts on Windows. For example "alt+m (" 
in math does not work and "AltGr+7" on German keyboards does not give a "{" character.


Unfortunately the latest Windows LyX installer from came with the buggy Qt 
libraries.

So if shortcuts like "alt+m (" in math do not work for you on Windows _AND_ if you installed LyX 
after March 8, 2014, then please reinstall using the fixed LyX for Windows installer:

https://sourceforge.net/projects/lyxwininstaller/files/LyXWinInstaller/2.0.7/LyX-207-Installer-4.exe/download

I will make an announcement tomorrow when the new installer is available on 
www.lyx.org.

sorry for the inconvenience and regards
Uwe

Hi,
 The tufte class title and author name is slanted. How to get those upright?

I want upright not slanted. Also it gives me error,

Try using LyX own ephm*asis* feature (on my Mac that's Cmd-E) with the text
of the element selected. That's how I got it to work.

You can point MiKTeX's package manager at any "repository", which can be one
downloaded to a local or networked drive.  The repository is not a server (in
the sense that no software daemon runs); it's just a directory (and 10^100
subdirectories).  If you have multiple users, this might be useful.  For a

LYX software query

[Ben Lincoln]

Hi,

I work in the IT arena at Deutsche Bank, a user has come to me requesting LYX 
on his work PC

Please could you give me some information on the following:

Lyx being free,  is this something that can also be installed within a 
Corporate environment or does this change the perspective on it?

It seems that when you installed it requires the ability to go to the web and 
pull down files, could you confirm that this is the case?

Being a Corporate Environment we have firewalls in place and this would block 
certain ports, what ports does this software communicate through.

Does the software require a 2 way ability to run.

Is the an alternative install method/cost for Banks etc?

Sorry for all the question but do appreciate your help

Many thanks in advance
Ben

No, you can use it freely.

web and pull down files, could you confirm that this is the case?




This is not necessary. Either you install MikTeX (assuming you are

When LyX is installed, there is no communication needed.

No.

You can hire me as a consultant to help you out and create an 
alternative install method that suits your preferences/needs.

 This is not necessary. Either you install MikTeX (assuming you are talking 
 about windows) separately, or you can download the installer-bundle (IIRC 
 this includes MikTeX).

 the problem is that some styles/classes are downloaded by miktex itself
 and by default miktex tries to update things as well iirc.

But, AFAIK, this can be turned off in the configuration.

LYX software query

[Ben Lincoln]

Hi,

I work in the IT arena at Deutsche Bank, a user has come to me requesting LYX 
on his work PC

Please could you give me some information on the following:

Lyx being free,  is this something that can also be installed within a 
Corporate environment or does this change the perspective on it?

It seems that when you installed it requires the ability to go to the web and 
pull down files, could you confirm that this is the case?

Being a Corporate Environment we have firewalls in place and this would block 
certain ports, what ports does this software communicate through.

Does the software require a 2 way ability to run.

Is the an alternative install method/cost for Banks etc?

Sorry for all the question but do appreciate your help

Many thanks in advance
Ben

No, you can use it freely.

It seems that when you installed it requires the ability to go to the 
web and pull down files, could you confirm that this is the case?




This is not necessary. Either you install MikTeX (assuming you are 
talking about windows) separately, or you can download the 
installer-bundle (IIRC this includes MikTeX).


Being a Corporate Environment we have firewalls in place and this 
would block certain ports, what ports does this software communicate 
through.




When LyX is installed, there is no communication needed.


Does the software require a 2 way ability to run.



No.

You can hire me as a consultant to help you out and create an 
alternative install method that suits your preferences/needs.
