Re: Lualatex at startup
I have never used TexLive, but I once read that TexLive was not conceived for Windows. Probably you have to review how TexLive automatically actualize packages on demand (when needed).
Re: Lualatex at startup
Dear Denis, I have TeXlive on my Windows machine, in order to avoid other problems I have found with Lyx. Do you think that might be a source of problems? Nevertheless, I believe that I had started Lyx's installer with administrative privileges.

Re: Lualatex at startup
At the begining, I have found desirable to run LyX with administrative privileges in windows. That avoid that the operative system, block access to some files. Since LyX will invoke MikTeX after it verifies the installed packages, is important that MikTeX is configured to automatically install a missing package. Also, MikTeX configuration has provision to stablish that LuaLaTeX is an available format, that has to be authorized after MikTeX installation.
Re: Lualatex at startup
Thanks everybody. What I did was killing lualatex.exe at the very moment it is started by the configuration script, which in turn continues without any more hiccups until Lyx is started correctly.

It may take a long time if you have lots of installed fonts.

Lyx starts telling me that there were no classes installed. I tried reconfigure, but had the same result. Has somebody had this problem? For some reason, the lualatex configuratoin check takes a very long time. I don't know why it would cause such huge problems, but if you want to work around this: 1. Find the configure.py script on your system. It should be in your LyX system (library) directory, which you can find from Help> About LyX. 2. Open the file and find the checkLuatex() routine. 3. At the very beginning of that routine, put: return, to skip the rest. Make sure the indentation is right, as python cares about that. A lot. Richard
Lualatex at startup
Dear all, I have just tried to install Lyx 2.1 on my Windows 7 PC on which I already had Lyx 2.0.6 and TexLive 2013, so I went the update way. During configuration, Lyx runs LuaLatex which in turn gets stuck and start bloating and eating all the resources. I tried killing the script (python.exe). Lyx starts telling me that there were no classes installed. I tried reconfigure, but had the same result. Has somebody had this problem? Thanks in advance.
