Cannot change screen colors, LyX-2.2.1 on MacOSX El Capitan

[Leo Razoumov]

Hi LyX Experts,

I am a new LyX user. I installed Lyx-2.2.1 from the official
LyX-2.2.1+qt5-x86_64-cocoa.dmg installer on Mac OSX El Capitan
(version 10.11.6). Everything seems to be working OK except for one
issue.

I cannot change any of the screen colors.
I open LyX->Preferences->Look>Colors and get a list of colors.
Double clicking a color (or clicking Alter... button) brings up color
choosing dialog. In this dialog I can pick a color I like. But when I
press OK button, both the color-choosing dialog and the Preferences
dialog itself disappear without a trace. My choices are not
remembered. Am I doing something wrong or it is a bug?

Thanks,

LYX 2.1.4 and El Capitan: Error converting eps and PDF

[Cristoforo Demartino]

I installed LyX 2.1.4. on a Mac with El Capitan. When I insert a pdf or eps 
figure, LyX displays an error in converting the file; accordingly I can't see 
the figure in the software.
The output PDF is created without any problem.

I was able to start LyX using the command line and this is the error: sh: 
convert: command not found

This is the path:  

/Library/TeX/texbin:/usr/texbin:/sw/bin:/sw/sbin:/opt/local/teTeX/bin:/opt/local/bin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/bin:/usr/X11R6/bin:/usr/sbin:/sbin

I obtained the same error using LyX 2.2 beta version.

Can anyone help with this issue?

Re: Math Palettes are ineffective (MAC OS EL CAPITAN - LyX 2.1.4)

I can confirm this problem.
My suggestion is to type out the latex form for characters rather than
using the palettes.  This is faster, but does require that you know the
latex form.

Math Palettes are ineffective (MAC OS EL CAPITAN - LyX 2.1.4)

[Pierre Bessière]

Hi all,

I just updated Lyx to 2.1.4 on a Powerbook Pro with OS X (10.11.1).
There is a very interesting, strange and bothersome phenomena : the math 
palettes are „transparent“ for the mouse.
If you click on a math palette with a background that is not the Lyx window, it 
works.
On the contrary if you click on a math palette with a background that is the 
Lyx window, then what you get is what you would get without the math palette 
popped…
I saw some discussions on that subject in the archive in early October but no 
solution.
Any one has anything to suggest ?

Thanks :-)

This is a LaTeX issue :-)-O

I use the latest version of LyX with 2015 BasicTeX (and some

Worked out of the box, after

sudo chown -R $(whoami):admin /usr/local

Great! So long as SIP doesn't break any other software that you use (which
is not the case for me), a solution that doesn't involve disabling it is of
course better.

As a faster workaround, try "insert by macro name". In a formula, you can
always use the LaTeX command to insert a symbol. A LaTeX command starts with
a backslash followed by the name, e.g.

  \alpha will be replaced by a blue italic letter alpha

I can see most command names as tooltip in the math panels (maybe this does
no longer work at your site) and I can see the command names (after
inserting) in the source pane (View>Source Pane>LaTeX).

I actually find the macro-insert method the fastest and most convenient
method to input mathematical content (but this may be due to my LaTeX
background).

Re: El Capitan

[Christopher Menzel]

You can almost surely solve your El Capitan problems if you disable the new 
System Integrity Protection feature (a.k.a. rootless mode), which among other 
things prevents the creation of symlinks in /usr. Note that there are some good 
security reasons for SIP — in particular it makes it much harder for malware to 
be installed on your system (though that can still be avoided simply by taking 
the usual precautions about clicking on unknown links, installing software from 
unknown or unproven sources, etc). So I'm not recommending that anyone do this

Re: El Capitan

[Paola Manzini]

many thanks Chris!

But before going there, I have found another issue, at least with my settings, 
which once fixed also fixed the greyed out icon problem: if one goes in 
Settings\File Handling\File Formats and selects “PDF (pdflatex)” in the second 
to last dropdown menu in the settings, the one saying “With TeX fonts”, that 
makes the icons “live again”, at least it did work for me, hope it does for 
others too! For the last dropdown, “With nonTeX fonts, I have pdf (pdfXeTeX), 
in case that also matters).

I can't insert symbols in math environments since I switched to El Capitan

[Philippe Lemoine]

Hi everyone,

I just updated MacOS X to El Capitan and, since I did,
I cannot insert symbols
in math environments anymore.

When I click on a button at the bottom of the LyX window
to insert a symbol like a Greek letter, 
it displays the list of symbols of that type, but the mouse pointer
 is the same as if it was just 
above my text so I can't click on any of the symbols.

Does anybody else has this problem since they updated MacOS X?
This is really bad for me
because it means I basically cannot do *any* work!

So I hope it will be solved rapidly, I'm kind of desperate right now...

Best,
Philippe

Re: I can't insert symbols in math environments since I switched to El Capitan

[Philippe Lemoine]

Hey Paola,

Thanks again for your help but, after trying,
I still can't make it work.

I click on the button at the bottom of the LyX window,
that opens the panel with all the Greek letters.
But then I still can't click on the letter I want,
even if I try to click on every empty
spaces I can find in the panel first.

Could you say more about what empty spaces you're
talking about? What version of LyX do you use?
I'm using version 2.1.4.

I agree that the problem seems to be that, when you
open a panel with different symbols, LyX doesn't realize
the panel is opened and you can't insert a symbol
by clicking on it.

Right now the only way I can insert symbols is by using
the menu, but that's a major waste of time. I really hope
a fix will be released soon.

Best,
Philippe

Re: I can't insert symbols in math environments since I switched to El Capitan

[Philippe Lemoine]

I just found out that this problem had been mentioned
on the developers's list:
http://www.mail-archive.com/lyx-devel@lists.lyx.org/msg188996.html.

That poster also shows one thing that solves the problem,
though in a very unsatisfactory way. Is that the trick you
were describing?

Re: El Capitan

[Robert Dolan]

Hello,

I follows this: https://tug.org/mactex/UpdatingForElCapitan.pdf, which states 
to "Go to the Paths item of Lyx → Preferences. Change the contents of the PATH 
prefix box from /usr/texbin to /Library/TeX/texbin; see Figure (6) on page 4. 
Then go to Tools → reconfigure and reset Lyx.” Before I did this, I was unable 
to even see the math text. This fixed that problem, but I still cant preview 
PDFs. As you can see in the photo below, the icons are greyed out. Also, when I 
press Command-R (which is the command to view pdf) it says command disabled at 
the bottom of the screen.

I hope there is some fix, but in the meantime to compile the file and

Re: I can't insert symbols in math environments since I switched to El Capitan

[Paola Manzini]

Philippe, I have the same problem, but playing aournd with this, I have 
found the following:
first click with the mouse on the "empty" space to the right corner of 
the greek letters panel (nothing happens), then click on the letter you 
need.


It is as if the mouse was not recognising the panel with the letters was 
open: if you over over
\beta for instance you can see "set top line", so it is as if you were 
hovering over the set top line symbol, wihtout the panel open. Clicking 
on the empy part of the panel with the greek letters seem to make LyX 
understand the panel is there.

Re: El Capitan

ok, do not know why, but this works:

go into the Document settings, select "Fonts", and tick the option "Use

This made the view and compile button work for me.

I hope there is some fix, but in the meantime to compile the file and 
view the pdf one can use the other two icons to the right ("update 
other formats" and "view other formats").

Hello,

I follows this: https://tug.org/mactex/UpdatingForElCapitan.pdf, 
which states to "Go to the Paths item of Lyx → Preferences. Change 
the contents of the PATH prefix box from /usr/texbin to 
/Library/TeX/texbin; see Figure (6) on page 4. Then go to Tools → 
reconfigure and reset Lyx.” Before I did this, I was unable to even 
see the math text. This fixed that problem, but I still cant preview 
PDFs. As you can see in the photo below, the icons are greyed out. 
Also, when I press Command-R (which is the command to view pdf) it 
says command disabled at the bottom of the screen.


Thanks for your help!

Hello,

I am using the latest version of Lyx with MacTex 2015 on OX El 
Capitan. Since I installed El Capitan I have not been able to 
preview the pdf using the “view” icon on the Lyx toolbar. I changed 
the path as instructed


Can you be a bit more specific? What did you change?

and I am able to export the lyx file as a pdf. However, I just 
cannot view/update/preview it without exporting it.


Please, try the reconfiguration of LyX.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you!
