Thanks, Riki, I started it again this morning after restarting my PC, 
and now it works as it should.
I guess, that there were two things which gave the trouble: "./" in 
/.lyx/preferences/serverpipe

which I changed to  "/home/we/lyxpipe" according to your advice,
and the restart of the PC, which might have been done also by a 
reconfigure (?).

Thanks a lot for you help and patience
Wolfgang
OK, so try starting LyX from a terminal. Send me any error messages. 
Also, do "ls -l /home/we/" after you start LyX and while it is running.

Verify that your preferences file (probably at 
$HOME/.lyx/preferences) contains something like:


\serverpipe "/home/we/lyxpipe"

If not, you may have "applied" the preferences but not "saved" them, 
so do that again. (It sounds as if JabRef is correctly configured.) 
Try it again. Note that you will have to restart LyX to have the 
pipe created. It won't do it right after you save the preferences.


If that doesn't work, then start LyX from a terminal and send me any 
error message you see.

No problem, let's hope we can get this working.

In Tools>Preferences, under LyXServer pipe, just put:

Now in JabRef, Options, External Programs, put exactly the same 
thing, click on "Settings for LyX/Kile" and put exactly the same 
thing.

error message in JabRef:
Error: verify that lyx is running and the lyxpipe is valid

I made sure /before/ that there is no lyxpipe or lyxpipe.in /.out 
left in the /home/we/
But after trying to push a reference from Jabref into lyx there was 
no lyxpipe.in /.out created. Should I have done reconfigure in Lyx 
and/or Jabref?

Thanks for your help. Hope we figure it out.
Wolfgang

Now, the crucial thing: Do NOT create ANY files. Just do what I 
just said. The pipes are created automatically by LyX itself when 
it starts (assuming you have defined a location for the pipes, as 
above). You can verify this by looking in your home directory 
after you start LyX. There should be two pipes, lyxpipe.in and 
lyxpipe.out. Here's what mine looks like:


/home/rikiheck/ > ls -al tmp/
total 12
drwxrwxr-x   3 rikiheck rikiheck 4096 Jul 26 12:11 .
drwxr-xr-x. 33 rikiheck rikiheck 4096 Jul 26 12:10 ..
drwxrwxr-x   2 rikiheck rikiheck 4096 Jul 25 13:34 lyx

prw---   1 rikiheck rikiheck    0 Jul 26 12:11 .lyxpipe.out

(My pipes are in a different place and are named differently.)

Let me know if that works.

Riki
Riki helped me in figuring out why my lyxpipe for jabref-LyX did not 
work. I send the essentials of this private mail exchange which boils 
down to

two things which gave the trouble:

 "./" in /.lyx/preferences/serverpipe
which I changed to  "/home/we/lyxpipe"

and the restart of the PC, which might have been done also by a 
reconfigure (?).

No, that's correct. The other directories are user directories reserved

No. You need to tell LyX (in the preferences) where you want the pipes
to be, and
then LyX will create the pipes when it starts. You also need to tell
JabRef where
the pipes are. LyX needs to know where to read data from; JabRef needs
to know
where to write it to. You can use ~/.lyx/.lyxpipe if you like, which I
guess counts
as a default, or you can put the pipe elsewhere. It doesn't matter.

These are not normal files but "named pipes", for which see
 https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Named_pipe
This is one of many forms of inter-process communication.

Thanks to all who helped me to understand the lyx-pipe business. I 
prefer to push the citations into lyx from Jabref instead of selecting 
it inside lyx from the bib file.

Re: LyZ: lyxpipe changes in 2.0?

[Justin Wood]

I just tested this in LyX 2.0 beta 2 on OS X and it worked fine — after I
changed the LyX pipe path (back) to ~/.lyxpipe, which is the default LyZ
setting. You could change LyZ alternatively of course.

Point being I think it's simply down to the pipe file path matching
correctly.

Re: LyZ: lyxpipe changes in 2.0?

[Sam Madhani]

Not sure with SVN, but with lyx 2b1 release lyz works almost fine. The only 
problem I had was that the latest lyz cannot create a bibtex record by itself, 
but that seems more like a lyz/firefox related problem. If I touch a .bib file 
manually, then lyz can port citations perfectly.

LyZ: lyxpipe changes in 2.0?

[Jose Quesada]

Hi,

I use the LyZ FF addon to insert zotero references:

https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/56806/
(btw, highly recommended!)

I -think- it was working before on 2.0 svn, but I may be misremembering and
it might have been 1.6...
In any case one obvious problem seems to be that in LyZ preferences the
default lyxpipe is:

/home/user/.lyx/lyxpipe

But looking for that file, I realized I have instead:
/home/user/.lyx/lyxpipe.in
/home/user/.lyx/lyxpipe.out

I never cared to look for this before because it worked, it may have always
been like that...
Have there been changes on the way lyx uses lyxpipes?
Could this be the reason it doesn't work? In any case, it could be a problem
on the LyZ side of course. Here's a hint in that direction:
http://www.klubko.net/wp/?page_id=945
Now I have to port it to new Zotero API, but I just have so little time to
look into it.

This single addon makes lyx an order of magnitude more useful to me. Please
let me know what I can do to help. Now that 2.0 is approaching rc, it'd be
nice to have it working by then.


-- 
Best,
-Jose

PS: looks like the entire LyZ architecture is a bit quirky: After much
opening and closing of programs I learned that I must open firefox *after*
have my document is opened in Lyx. This was the critical step that I missed.
Thanks again for writing this extremely useful program.

Trying to output and I get the error message that says ensure lyx is running
(it is) and that the lyxpipe is valid (don't know how to do that).

Secondly, have downloaded some references from medline, and when I try to
save it says:

Error in field 'institution': The # character is not allowed in BibTeX
fields.
In JabRef, use pairs of # characters to indicate a string.
Note that the entry causing the problem has been selected.

Correct the entry, and reopen editor to display/edit source.

But I can't find the institution field, where's it hidden

the entry screen for optional fields for example doesn't list it, and it's
not scrollable, so ???

Maybe you're on the wrong entry?  Some entry types (e.g. Techreport) 
have an institution field (it's in the Required fields tab in the case 
of Techreport) and some (e.g. Article) do not.  I think you can add 
Institution to something like Article using Options - Customize entry 
types, but unless Medline is adding institutions to articles, books etc. 
 you shouldn't have to.  (I don't use Medline, so I have no idea about 
this.)


You can peek into the .bib file using Notepad or any text file 
viewer/editor, locate the # character, see what entry it's in and 
whether that entry has an Institution field.  Then highlight the entry 
in JabRef and, if there's no Institution field, add it using the 
customization menu.

newbie question: output and get lyxpipe, and extra field codes

[Russell J. Wilson]

Just in first days of trying to learn to use JabRef/Lyx on Windows Vista
with Word 2007.
Trying to output and I get the error message that says ensure lyx is running
(it is) and that the lyxpipe is valid (don't know how to do that).

Secondly, have downloaded some references from medline, and when I try to
save it says:

Error in field 'institution': The # character is not allowed in BibTeX
fields.
In JabRef, use pairs of # characters to indicate a string.
Note that the entry causing the problem has been selected.

Correct the entry, and reopen editor to display/edit source.

But I can't find the "institution" field, where's it hidden

the entry screen for optional fields for example doesn't list it, and it's
not scrollable, so ???

Cheers,

AFAIK piping doesn't work with Windows.  At least, it doesn't seem to 
work with Win XP, and I've not heard anything to the effect that it 
works with Vista.

Maybe you're on the wrong entry?  Some entry types (e.g. Techreport) 
have an institution field (it's in the Required fields tab in the case 
of Techreport) and some (e.g. Article) do not.  I think you can add 
Institution to something like Article using Options -> Customize entry 
types, but unless Medline is adding institutions to articles, books etc. 
 you shouldn't have to.  (I don't use Medline, so I have no idea about 
this.)


You can peek into the .bib file using Notepad or any text file

LyX push from JabRef - lyxpipe error

[kaptan]

I am using JabRef 2.3.1 and Lyx 1.5 on Windows 2000
When I push bibliography entries to LyX I get an error in JabRef

Error: verify that Lyx is running and that the lyxpipe is valid [C:\Documents 
and Settings\Administrator\.lyx/lyxpipe]

I have no .lyx directory in the above path regardless of whether I install 
LyX for current user or all users.

The push works for pushing to LatexEditor but not Lyx.

Can anyone help me please?

The lyxpipe doesn't work on Windows. The existing code is *nix specific. 
Code could be written that would work on Windows, but there aren't a lot

Inserting graphics via lyxpipe

[David Rosenberg]

Hi -- I'd like to be able to insert graphics using the lyx server, but
I'm not sure whether there are LFUN's that I need.  I can do
inset-insert graphics  and dialog-show-new-inset graphics, but I
don't know how to specify the name of the file I'd like to insert.
e.g. I wish I could do
inset-insert graphics file=/home/user/blah.png
  In general, it'd be great if it were possible to pop up a dialog via
the server, with a bunch of options set via extra arguments.  e.g:
dialog-show-new-inset graphics file=/home/user/blah.png
scale-graphics=true scale-graphics-value=80
  The point of this is I want to write a shell script that let's me
take a screen shot, save it to a file, and automatically insert this
file as a graphic into the current lyx buffer.

Thanks,
David

lyxpipe, jabref and windows with LyX 1.5.1

[S. Teinturier]

Hi everyone!

I've installed Lyx 1.5.1 and JabRef 2.3b (win XP SP1).

When I try to insert a citation from JabRef to LyX document, through the 
direct icon LyX in JabRef, an error message appears about LyxPipe.


Is the following message (2007-01-01, LyX 1.4.3-5 and JabRef 2.2b) still 
valid for the LyX 1.5.1???


You cannot use this feature on windows, since the pipe is implemented using

UNIX specific functions that are not available on windows.


(http://www.mail-archive.com/lyx-users@lists.lyx.org/msg52716.html)

It doesn't work either using the c-k function (the final dvi document 
has a \cite{BLABLAXXX}).


So, if I want to use my biblio.bib  with LyX and JabRef (and I want to!) 
I have first to 'insert' the bibliography in the LyX repertories, and 
then using the LyX tool Insert  Citation... ??


Thanks for your help,

Sara

Pushing citations via lyxpipe from JabRef on Ubuntu

[Tim Michelsen]

Hello,

Following the hint from
http://article.gmane.org/gmane.editors.lyx.general/37911
I tried to insert a insert a citations via lyxpipe from JabRef.

JabRef gives me the following error when trying to push a citation into 
pipe:


Error: Verify that Lyx is running and that the lyxpipe is valid. 
[/home/user/lyxpipe]


I checked into that /home/user/lyxpipe directory end it doesn't exist.

My questions:
1) How do I create a valid lyxpipe?
2) Shouldn't that pipe automatically created when one starts Lyx for the 
first time? (this must then be a fault of the Ubuntu package)


Thanks for your help,
Tim

pushing references to LyX with lyxpipe

[Stacia Hartleben]

Hi, I use Jabref and there is an option to push to LyX using
lyxpipe? Does this work on windows? If not can it be made to work in
other versions of LyX.

Re: pushing references to LyX with lyxpipe

[Richard Heck]

It works fine under LyX on Linux. Great, actually. The problem here is
that there are no named pipes under Windows, which is what LyX uses to
communicate with the outside world. (These are things that look like
files but aren't really files at all: Programs can write into them and
other programs can then read out of them, but it's all happening without
any actual storage.) All you have to do to get this working is configure
the location of the pipe in LyX (Preferences  Paths  Lyxpipe) and in
JabRef (Options  Prefs  External Programs  Path to LyX Pipe).
Obviously, you need to configure them the same! Pybliographer has a
similar facility.

There's lots of useful stuff you can do with this pipe. I'll send
another message illustrating.
