Thanks. I solved it by using an older document, where the setting did not open 
the document at the start of lyx and imported the offending newer docu. The 
error occurred while working on a xfig figure. I will keep my eyes open if 
this happens again and record the error log file.

several problems

2010-08-27 Thread Wolfgang Engelmann

Dear list members,

I encountered several problems. Perhaps you could help me.

First of all, I am not receiving any mail from the 
LyX Users List lyx-users@lists.lyx.org
since a few days. So if this mail comes through, and I am not receiving an 
answer until lets say August 28 12 CET I assume there is something wrong with 
the mail from the list to my address. I am adding a copy of this mail being 
sent to my address, so this issue should be solved. 

Secondly,
I added yesterday a xfig created figure to my (koma-script) book and got a 
crash in lyx. Error message is

lyx QWidget::repaint: Recursive repaint detected
lyx: SIGSEGV signal caught!
Sorry, you have found a bug in LyX, hope you have not lost any data.
Please read the bug-reporting instructions in 'Help-Introduction' and send us 
a bug report, if necessary. Thanks !
Bye.  

and if I start with 
lyx -dbg graphics

QPaintEngine::setSystemClip: Should not be changed while engine is active
QPaintEngine::setSystemClip: Should not be changed while engine is active
QWidgetPrivate::beginSharedPainter: Painter is already active

The problem is, that I told lyx to start with the last document opened (just 
for lazyness; was not a good idea in hindsight), therefore I am not able to 
do anything with it.

What I could try to do is open the lyx document with a texteditor and take the 
(probably) offending figure out, hoping that it will work afterward. But 
perhaps somebody has a better idea.

I have checked for the error in the internet, but the related messages are 
outdated and do not seem to be related to my case (except that qt is 
involved)

I am using Debian sid under Linux, Lyx svn 2.0

Thanks for your attention

Wolfgang

Several problems with converters in lyx

2008-09-04 Thread Nasir Amra
So far I'm pleased with how lyx shortens the learning curve for using latex. 
However, I have several problems converting the document into either rtf or an 
openoffice document ( publisher's demanding .doc instead of latex or pdf).

1. Converting to .rtf : 
  When I use natbib , numerical option, with sortcompress option, citation 
format [#ID}, I get an rtf file which does not have any citations in the file.

2. When using the converter to an opendocument:
  Everything converts including the bibliography, however, the references 
are all running together instead of each reference starting a separate line ( 
e,g: 

1.
Vellios F, Bacz JM, Shumacker HB. Lipoblastomatosis: A tumor of fetal
fat different from hibernoma. Report of a case, with observations of
embryogenesis of human adipose tissue. Am J Pathol.
1958;34:1149–1159. 2. Chung EB, Enzinger FM. Benign
lipoblastomatosis. An analysis of 35 cases. Cancer. 1973
Aug;32(2):482–492. 3. Chen Z, Coffin CM, Scott S, Meloni-Ehrig A,
Shepard R, Issa B, et al. Evidence by spectral karyotyping that
8q11.2 is nonrandomly involved in lipoblastoma. J Mol Diagn. 2000
May;2(2):73–77. 

Are there any workarounds to these problems?

LyX relies upon external programs to do these conversions, and they all 
have their quirks. The sad truth, I'm afraid, is that perfectly painless 
conversion to rtf and odt isn't possible, and you're always going to 
have to do some tweaking by hand.

Are there any workarounds to these problems?

  
LyX relies upon external programs to do these conversions, and they all

conversion to rtf and odt isn't possible, and you're always going to 
have to do some tweaking by hand.
