Re: beamer error

[Patrick Dupre]

This error is now fixed, but to get A4 output size, I set
\usepackage{pgfpages}
\pgfpagesuselayout{4 on 1}[a4paper]

but I get the error:
\pdfpages@includegraphics@status=\count340
\AM@pagebox=\box78
\AM@global@opts=\toks49
\AM@pagecnt=\count341
\AM@toc@title=\toks50

\AM@templatesizebox=\box79
)
! Undefined control sequence.
 \pdfpagesuselayout

l.46 \pdfpagesuselayout
   {4 on 1}[a4paper]
The control sequence at the end of the top line
of your error message was never \def'ed. If you have
misspelled it (e.g., `\hobx'), type `I' and the correct
spelling (e.g., `I\hbox'). Otherwise just continue,
and I'll forget about whatever was undefined.

It could be your used bib-file having latin9 chars.

Julio,

Rather than futzing seeking the source consider this: change
encoding to
UTF-8. Open on you Mac. Save it. Open it again and check the
encoding and
whether this resolved the issue.

I changed default coding to UTF-8 instead of inputenc and another

Is the logo PNG file in the same directory as the LyX file? If
not, have you tried specifying the path to it?

If by any chance you kept the original Mac version (did not overwrite it 
with the version saved on Windows), you could diff the two LyX files to 
find the offending character.


Other than having a different idea about what an end-of-line character 
should be, I don't recall Windows mucking up characters on its own. If 
you paste in something copied from, say, a PDF (where there are 
ligatures) or maybe type something like an accented letter while 
editing, maybe that could be the source of the problem?

have you tried removing the accented characters (and only the accented

Thanks Stefano,
Yes, that was one of the first things I have tried and it does not make any
difference. Moreover, I have other slide titles with accents before this
error, and they do not seem to pose a problem.

I will have to follow the famous Steve Litt methodology I think :-). :
creating a new document and adding incrementally the slides from the old
document until the emergence of the problem. I would really like to
understand the source of this problem, I never meet them when I directly
write in Latex, so I must do some stupid cooy and paste errors in Lyx...

Re: Strange Lyx Beamer error [Solved]

[Murat Yildizoglu]

Good news, I have been able to locate the problem using the SLM (Steve 
Litt Method): I was doing a somewhat anti-latex thing.


In Lyx, I am able to introduce a forced empty line by typing twice 
CMD+Return, and that looks OK on the screen, but, of course Latex does 
not like it at all, even if I introduce some small space before the line 
jump (such lines appear \,\\ in the exported latex). By replacing this 
inelegant construction by a CMD+Return + a vertical space the problem 
has been solved and my slide compiles.


So, beware of spaces looking OK on the Lyx screen, they can not respect 
the Latex's logical requirements...


Thank you again for your helps and suggestions, the Devil was in the 
invisibles this time.


Best regards,

Murat

Thanks Stefano,
Yes, that was one of the first things I have tried and it does not make any
difference. Moreover, I have other slide titles with accents before this
error, and they do not seem to pose a problem.

I will have to follow the famous Steve Litt methodology I think :-). :
creating a new document and adding incrementally the slides from the old
document until the emergence of the problem. I would really like to
understand the source of this problem, I never meet them when I directly
write in Latex, so I must do some stupid cooy and paste errors in Lyx...

 David,

   Huh! That's interesting. I've always put a \frameend command after each
 frame within LyX. Hasn't hurt anything. But, similar to your use, I use
 the
 result for presentation and workshop visuals not as stand-alone documents.

 Thanks for the insight,

Re: Strange Lyx Beamer error [Solved]

[Murat Yildizoglu]

Good news, I have been able to locate the problem using the SLM (Steve 
Litt Method): I was doing a somewhat anti-latex thing.


In Lyx, I am able to introduce a forced empty line by typing twice 
CMD+Return, and that looks OK on the screen, but, of course Latex does 
not like it at all, even if I introduce some small space before the line 
jump (such lines appear \,\\ in the exported latex). By replacing this 
inelegant construction by a CMD+Return + a vertical space the problem 
has been solved and my slide compiles.


So, beware of spaces looking OK on the Lyx screen, they can not respect 
the Latex's logical requirements...


Thank you again for your helps and suggestions, the Devil was in the 
invisibles this time.


Best regards,

Murat

Only the end of the document needs a separate \frameend command, at 
least when you write it with LyX.  I don't know how setting up multiple 
chapters might change that, since I only use Beamer for lectures.

Beamer Error

Dear Sir or Madam,

I'm still a beginner to LyX. Everything works fine when document class is
article. But when I change the class to beamer to make slides, I cannot
make DVI or PDF output and always get the error an empty output file is
generated. Could you please give me advices? Thank you very much.

Hi tj,

What I would do is make an ultra-simple 1 page Beamer presentation and try to 
get it to work. If no matter what you try you can't get it to work, email that 
tiny LyX file to the list.

If you CAN get it to work, start adding pages one at a time, presumably from 
your original file. At some point the offending page will cause the error, and 
you can troubleshoot that page.

This is also an excellent learning opportunity for LyX and Beamer.

Beamer: Error with section

[Hellmut Weber]

Hi list,
i'm trying to create my first beamer presentation.

I have looked at the two examples on the lyx wiki and also into Till 
Tantau's beamerlyxexample1.lyx.


Having a document with:
- Documentclass persentation(beamer)
- Preamble: \usetheme{Warsaw}
- a title
- a section

i get a latex error:

Undefined control sequence
\lyxframeend
 {}\section{Abschnitt}


What am i doing wrong?
What is missing?

I'm totally confused ,-(

Any help appreciated (best would be obviously a simple working template ;-)


TIA

Could you post the source of a lyx document that contains the error to
a service like pastebin.com? That way, someone can reproduce it and
tell you what's going wrong.

Unfortunately, the Latex-Beamer stuff simply throws completely
incomprehensible error messages for the average user :(

Could it be that you define a section inside a frame? If so, try
defining it before that frame.

tell you what's going wrong.

Unfortunately, the Latex-Beamer stuff simply throws completely
incomprehensible error messages for the average user :(

Could it be that you define a section inside a frame? If so, try
defining it before that frame.

Hi Kosta,
here it is ;-)


Could you post the source of a lyx document that contains the error to
a service like pastebin.com? That way, someone can reproduce it and
tell you what's going wrong.

As you can see I'm doing nearly nothing

Thanks for your answer

Here is a version that works:

http://pastebin.com/m1f60d2ea
(there's a 'download' link)

I did two things:

a) Add an empty slide (so that the error goes away)

b) Changed the document class from article(beamer) to
presentation(beamer) so that it looks like a presentation

Beamer: Error with section

[Hellmut Weber]

Hi list,
i'm trying to create my first beamer presentation.

I have looked at the two examples on the lyx wiki and also into Till 
Tantau's beamerlyxexample1.lyx.


Having a document with:
- Documentclass persentation(beamer)
- Preamble: \usetheme{Warsaw}
- a title
- a section

i get a latex error:

Undefined control sequence
\lyxframeend
 {}\section{Abschnitt}


What am i doing wrong?
What is missing?

I'm totally confused ,-(

Any help appreciated (best would be obviously a simple working template ;-)


TIA

Hellmut
