Ventura compatibility?

[Chris Menzel]

LyX folk,

Has anyone had any problems running LyX 2.3.6.x under a recent Ventura beta?

Thanks.

Thanks, Paul, for the update.  I guess I was totally wrong.  Good to
know about the Debian release, too.  I suppose that will cover
Ubuntu.

Assuming that the problem is with her MiKTeX installation, wiping all 
traces of MiKTeX (and LyX) and reinstalling (and then updating) MiKTeX 
should fix it. The sequence "i_DEc2016_NBER.nav" has me wondering 
whether something is garbled in a source file, though. If a full 
reinstall does not fix things, can you get her to provide one of the 
offending source documents, cut down to more or less the minimum 
required to trigger an error?

I've never heard of this happening before. Perhaps a LaTeX package got
updated somehow and the new version is incompatibile with the old. It's
hard to know without a minimal example .tex or .lyx file. For more
information, please read:

https://wiki.lyx.org/FAQ/MinimalExample

If you can send a minimal example (please send all email to the list),
perhaps someone can figure it out.

In any case, sorry to your friend and to you for the frustration. I hope
you're not on the hook for having recommended LyX :)

Lyx/Latex Beamer Compatibility

[Christos Makridis]

Hey Lyx Community,

One of my collaborators downloaded lyx, but for some reason it prevented
her from compiling her latex files as she normally did. After she
uninstalled lyx, there was still a problem with beamer, which would not
compile. Specifically, it gave the following error:
---
(C:/Users/filepathXX
i_DEc2016_NBER.nav
! Undefined control sequence.
l.1 \beamer@endinputifotherversion
{3.33pt}
?
---

Does anyone know why this happened, and if there's a way to avoid it? I
googled the error and it looks like the problem arises from something on
line 1 in the beamer file. But, even so, why was it not a problem before
lyx was installed, and why is it a problem even after it is uninstalled?

Thank you for your help!

Have you tried 2.2.1? We know 2.2.0 did not work on Vista or before, but
2.2.1 does work on Vista, at least.

[Armin Mueller]

Hi,

I would like to point out that some of the Lyx pages are indicating 
compatibility to Windows XP or even Windows 2000, which is no longer the 
case:


German Download
https://www.lyx.org/WebDe.Download
Lyx Wiki, Windows
http://wiki.lyx.org/Windows/Windows
etc.

The latest version for XP is 2.1.5, no idea about Server 2003 or 2000.

That is normal. LyX supports many more classes than anyone would ever 
need and, more
importantly, than a standard LaTeX installation would install. So 
there's not really anything
more to fix, unless you want to use one of those classes. In that case, 
you just need to install

the relevant LaTeX files.

And actually, you can *use* the class within LyX. You just won't be able 
to compile.

Repositories can take a while to update sometimes, not to mention you aren’t 
even running the latest version of Ubuntu. You could manually update though by 
downloading the binary from the LyX website (http://www.lyx.org/Download) and 
update to the latest version (2.1.3) on your own.

On my file system I find these two files:

LyX is complaining that it cannot find the class file associated with 
this layout, which

is scrartcl.cls. Try running:
# kpsewhich scrartcl.cls
and see if you get anything. If not, there is some problem with your 
LaTeX installation

and we'll need to fix that.

If you do see it, then try running Tools Reconfigure. If that does not 
work, then you
may be running into a python incompatibility that we have sometimes seen 
on some

systems, and we can sort it out somehow.

These are more puzzling. It may be that you have the python problem, but try
reconfiguring and see what happens. It would be best to launch LyX from 
a terminal,
then Reconfigure, and copy and paste the output from that here, if you 
run into problems.

Re: Configure Problem on Ubuntu [Was: Compatibility Mac - Linux]

[Ygo Kanaki]

This I got:

$ kpsewhich scrartcl.cls
/usr/share/texlive/texmf-dist/tex/latex/koma-script/scrartcl.cls

I did Tools / Reconfigure, I think that solved most of the problems. I can 
now open my colleagues document again without errors, and I get the correct 
pdf-output. Fixed!

I still see a whole bunch of greyed-out document classes, but I don't care 
for now, I'll try to fix that later. Lyx works again!

Thanks to you all.

That is normal. LyX supports many more classes than anyone would ever 
need and, more
importantly, than a standard LaTeX installation would install. So 
there's not really anything
more to fix, unless you want to use one of those classes. In that case, 
you just need to install

the relevant LaTeX files.

And actually, you can *use* the class within LyX. You just won't be able 
to compile.

Compatibility Mac - Linux

[Ygo Kanaki]

The main reason why me and my colleagues switched from  MS-Word to Lyx is the 
problems we had with all the different Office versions, and problem we had 
opening Word-files in OpenOffice, etcetera. That was why we use Lyx.

Today I get a .lyx file from a colleague with a Mac. I try to open the Lyx 
file, and I get this error message:

"/mnt/sda1/Dropbox/lithouse_shared_folder/Offers quotes prospects that we are 
working on/Jolly_X/20150506/offer_27.11.2013.lyx is from a newer version of 
LyX and the lyx2lyx script failed to convert it."

So I try to update my Lyx on Ubuntu 14.04 to a later version, but there is 
nothing to update. I have the most recent version (2.0.6 from April 2013) 
while my colleague has 2.1.2.2. from November 2014. I am out of luck.

We're on Openoffice again. :(

Repositories can take a while to update sometimes, not to mention you aren’t 
even running the latest version of Ubuntu. You could manually update though by 
downloading the binary from the LyX website (http://www.lyx.org/Download) and 
update to the latest version (2.1.3) on your own.

There is no reason to do that.  The problem is with Ubuntu --- or your 
version of it.  Certainly they have an updated version of LyX. If not, 
get it from the LyX archive.  If you want to go back to Openoffice, that 
is one thing, but this is not an obstacle.  Just upgrade your LyX 
version, and there are many ways to do that.

I can understand your frustration, Ygo. But in order to develop new
features and improve LyX, we need this flexibility.

Since you're on Ubuntu, you can get the latest version of LyX from the PPA:

Re: Compatibility Mac - Linux

[Ygo Kanaki]

Wow, that was quick: THREE responses within five minutes. Can't complain 
about that!

I installed the .ppa as instructed on the lyx website, updated Synaptic and 
indeed a newer version appeared. Installed the newer version, all ok.

But now when I open my colleagues Lyx file I get three errors instead of 
one:

===
Due to some error in it, the layout file: could not be loaded. A default 
textclass with default layouts will be used. LyX will not be able to 
produce correct output.

The layout file: scrartcl could not be found. A default textclass with 
default layouts will be used. LyX will not be able to produce correct 
output.

The module basic has been requested by this document but has not been found 
in the list of available modules. If you recently installed it, you 
probably need to reconfigure LyX.
===

Also in Document / Settings I see: Unknown text class scrartcl. Actually 
almost all of my document classes are greyed out now.

On my file system I find these two files:

/usr/share/lyx/layouts/scrartcl.layout
/usr/share/doc/texlive-doc/latex/koma-script/scrartcl.html

And there are more files like these in:
/usr/share/lyx/layouts
/usr/share/lyx2.0/layouts/

But I guess I have to move some stuff from A to B, or instruct Lyx where to 
look. Anybody knows the quick solution? Actually I feel sorry about this 
OpenOffice-stuff,  I don't want to leave Lyx.

Ygo.

Re: Compatibility between Maverick and Lyx

[Anders Ekberg]

With ²last version² I assume 2.0.7.1?
Works fine for me on two computers (although I have mainly changed to
2.1rc1-now).
Could you elaborate on "does not want to open²?

Re: Lyx Windows - Linux Compatibility

[Paul Rubin]

In addition to missing packages (which has already been mentioned), it is
sometimes the case that different versions of the same package are installed
under Linux and Windows. Updating the older package to the newer version (on
whichever machine has the older version) usually cures problems of that nature.

FWIW, I've been editing the same docs on both Windows and Linux for years with
almost no difficulties.

Re: How to put temporary files to the lyx-file folder (for TrueCrypt compatibility)

[Kotya Karapetyan]

 If you want all files on the encrypted volume, then set the path for the
 temporary directory to somewhere on that volume.
 I don't want this behaviour *always*. If I edit some other lyx-file,
 not this secret one, then the TrueCrypt volume may even not be
 mounted.

 Is there in LyX some parameter like the 'lyx-file location', so that
 the temporary folder could be specified with this parameter?

 Not so far as I know. This is a pretty unusual situation, and LyX is
 definitely not set up to use different temporary directories for
 different files in the same session.

I was not speaking of multiple temporary directories within one
section. But I think I see your point. My approach is from LaTeX — all
temp files are in the same directory as the main tex-file.

 You might try setting up a second
 user directory, and launching Lyx with:
lyx -userdir /home/you/.lyxcrypt/
 when you need to do so.


I've tried what you suggest:
lyx -userdir /media/truecrypt1/tmp,
where  /media/truecrypt1/ is where the truecrypt volume is mounted. On
start up, LyX correctly ask me if a new directory /tmp needs to be
created, put there lots of files but the PDF file during the preview
is still built here: /tmp/lyx_tmpdir.M22932/ (the number always
changes).

So basically, the temp folder is not put into a userdir. Can I control
the location of the temp folder during startup?

The userdir is where preferences are saved. That's different from where 
temporary files are saved.

the location of the temp folder during startup?



As far as I know, you cannot specify the location of the temp folder on 
the command line. However, Richard has broken it down into two different 
issues that allow you to do what you want.


Issue 1) How do I specify the temp folder?

Answer: You set it in the preferences, and make sure you click Save.

Issue 2) How can I have different sets of preferences and switch between 
them?


Answer: You can have more than one user directory (where your 
preferences are saved). This basically allows you to have different 
profiles. You can specify which profile you want to use on the command line:

lyx -userdir ~/my_default_profile
lyx -userdir ~/my_secret_profile

When you don't specify a userdir, lyx uses ~/.lyx by default.

The userdir is where preferences are saved. That's different from where 
temporary files are saved.



So basically, the temp folder is not put into a userdir. Can I control
the location of the temp folder during startup?



As far as I know, you cannot specify the location of the temp folder on 
the command line. However, Richard has broken it down into two different 
issues that allow you to do what you want.


Issue 1) How do I specify the temp folder?

Answer: You set it in the preferences, and make sure you click Save.

Issue 2) How can I have different sets of preferences and switch between 
them?


Answer: You can have more than one user directory (where your 
preferences are saved). This basically allows you to have different 
profiles. You can specify which profile you want to use on the command line:

lyx -userdir ~/my_default_profile
lyx -userdir ~/my_secret_profile

When you don't specify a userdir, lyx uses ~/.lyx by default.

I was not speaking of multiple temporary directories within one
section. But I think I see your point. My approach is from LaTeX — all
temp files are in the same directory as the main tex-file.

I've tried what you suggest:
lyx -userdir /media/truecrypt1/tmp,
where  /media/truecrypt1/ is where the truecrypt volume is mounted. On
start up, LyX correctly ask me if a new directory /tmp needs to be
created, put there lots of files but the PDF file during the preview
is still built here: /tmp/lyx_tmpdir.M22932/ (the number always
changes).

So basically, the temp folder is not put into a userdir. Can I control
the location of the temp folder during startup?

How to put temporary files to the lyx-file folder (for TrueCrypt compatibility)

[Kotya Karapetyan]

Hello,

I am working on a document in a TrueCrypt volume. As far as I
understand, when I view PDF, LyX puts a temporary PDF file (and
probably all temporary pdflatex files) into some other folder (at
least, I don't see them in the folder with the lyx-file). Can I change
this? I would like all files, even those later deleted, to reside in a
TrueCrypt folder.

I have tried to remove the path in the Preferences/Paths/Temporary
directory, but the PDF file still doesn't appear in the lyx-file
folder.

Thanks in advance!

If you want all files on the encrypted volume, then set the path for the
temporary directory to somewhere on that volume.

Not so far as I know. This is a pretty unusual situation, and LyX is
definitely not set up to use different temporary directories for
different files in the same session. You might try setting up a second
user directory, and launching Lyx with:
lyx -userdir /home/you/.lyxcrypt/
when you need to do so.

compatibility of two scripts

[Marie-Theres Strauss]

Dear developers,

I have recently started using LyX and am amazed at the quality of the output
- never seen better typesetting on an easy-to-use editor, truly. The problem
that I can't seem to solve is the following: I commonly write in English but
need to insert Chinese characters into my text every now and then. I use the
script provided by Windows to write them, and they appear beautifully on the
screen, but whenever I try to export my document to dvi or pdf, I get an
error message and the characters can't be displayed. I tried setting the
language to English with a traditional Chinese script, but that only works
if I type Chinese in the very first line of my document before typing
anything in English. Then, if I want to insert more into the text later on,
it will show me the error message again and won't update the dvi-file. I
also tried coding everything in utf-8, but that doesn't work either. What am
I doing wrong?

The error message runs as follows: Argument of \...@xx has an extra
}.Paragraph ended before \...@xx was complete.Undefined control
sequence.Argument of \...@xx has an extra }.Paragraph ended before
\...@xxwas complete.

Thanks very much,

Marie

P.S. As you may have guessed from the naive description, I am near to
unfamiliar with LaTeX or any other programming code...sorry...
