Re: Problems with LyX on Mac computers

2023-01-23 Thread mark salmon

PLease ignore my email below from last night regarding my inablity to
copy and paste from a PDF file into Lyx with Mac Ventura and Lyx 2.3.7-
this was a tired error on my part after a long day struggling to get to
lectures written- I simply confused command V with Control V on the Mac.
It does work as it whould if I hit the correct keys. However the
graphics issue still remains. Could this be due the the version of
Python I have installed? Which Python version does Lyx require on the
Mac please? How can I check and re-install. I thought I had the Xcode
version but may have Anaconda 3.7- but I am ignorant of these issues.
Any ideas please?

Many many thanks so far,
Mark

Hi all,

unfortunately there is some problem with the LyX binaries on macOS Ventura. I
built these binaries including the Qt frameworks. At the moment I don’t have
the option to investigate the problem because I didn’t upgrade the build system
(yet).

The Universal binary was build on Big Sur and requires at least macOS 10.14.
For those unable to update to Mojave (10.14) I made an Intel binary for macOS
10.12 or newer.

I have no idea what the cause of the Ventura file open dialog is. My plan is to
update the build system to macOS 13.x - so it should be possible to solve the
problem then.

Best regards,

The two installers are not for older and newer versions of MacOS, they are for
older and newer Macs — older machines have Intel chips while newer machines
have Apple Silicon (M1 and M2 chips). The installer for the universal LyX
binary, which will run on either platform, includes the string “x86_64-arm64”;
the installer for the Intel-only binary only includes the substring “x86_64”.
In fact, both installers and both binaries will run on both older and newer
machines (although, of course, the Intel binary requires the mediation of
Rosetta on Apple Silicon machines). I suppose the Intel-only binary is a bit
smaller and perhaps runs a bit faster on an Intel Mac, but would think the
differences would be negligible (but I could be wrong).

could this be the source of the graphics problem?

No. The problem arises under Ventura no matter which LyX binary you use.

Hi all,

unfortunately there is some problem with the LyX binaries on macOS Ventura. I 
built these binaries including the Qt frameworks. At the moment I don’t have 
the option to investigate the problem because I didn’t upgrade the build system 
(yet).

The Universal binary was build on Big Sur and requires at least macOS 10.14. 
For those unable to update to Mojave (10.14) I made an Intel binary for macOS 
10.12 or newer.

I have no idea what the cause of the Ventura file open dialog is. My plan is to

Sorry, I did not realize that the current binary for LyX 2.3.7 is a Universal 
application. That is what I have been using.

So apparently the problems encountered by Mac users are NOT due to Rosetta as I

Hi Ed again,
 Could you possibly try inserting a graphic into a document- I know 
nothing... I am a simple econometrician but it seems to me if some 
people have this graphics problem and others don't with superficially 
the same set up, it may be down to different ways we have handled 
Python- Apple, Homebrew, Anaconda? Does this make sense people?

Hi Ed,
 One academic to another- I have a problem in that I can  ( in Lyx 
2.3.7) no longer browse for the graph in the dialog box when wanting to 
insert graphics into a document- I am using Lyx 2.3.7 not 2.2.7. which 
you are using. The assumption people have made is that it is a ventura 
13.1 problem however if you can browse and insert graphics with the same 
Ventura as myself but  using Lyx 2.2.7 it must be a Lyx problem. It 
would be really helpful to know where the problem lies if you could give 
it a try please. I can work around this by copying and pasting the 
location of the graphics file into the location box but I lost 2 days of 
my life over the last few days trying to solve this!

Cheers,
Mark

Ed, have you tried LyX 2.3.7, which came out very recently?  I believe it is  
universal, if you take the correct installer (there are two to choose from, one 
for old versions of MacOS and one for the newer ones which support arm.

Regards, Marcus

Problems with LyX on Mac computers

2023-01-22 Thread Edwin Burmeister

Hi—


I am using Mac OS Ventura 13.1 and LyX version 2.2.7.


Many Mac users have reported problems with LyX when using Ventura. I too have 
encountered difficulties, but fortunately I’ve been able to find workarounds 
for all of them. However, behavior is erratic: sometimes it works and sometimes 
it does not. I’ve had to resort to trying different workaround strategies that 
seem to depend upon exactly where my LyX related files are located.


You probably know this information from Apple, but I repeat it here for 
completeness:


Rosetta works automatically in the background whenever you use an app that was 
built only for Mac computers with an Intel processor. It translates the app for 
use with Apple silicon. In most cases, you won't notice any difference in the 
performance of an app that needs Rosetta. May 17, 2022


In my opinion most and perhaps all of the problems LyX users have encountered 
on a Mac can be traced back to Rosetta.


The ideal solution is to have an update to LyX that makes it a so-called 
Universal application, i.e., one that works equally well on both Intel and 
Apple silicon chips. [In any event, this solution will be needed in the future 
because Apple is likely to stop its support via Rosetta.]


Is such an update to LyX in the works?

If so, when might we expect to see it?

If not, why not?


Danke!

Ed
