What version of LyX do you use? There were some fixes for maxima in 2.4.4. LyX 2.5 contains also example file Computer_Algebra_Systems.lyx where we try to track examples what currently works with CAS. If what you need is not there you might want to file a bug with example lyx file showing exact formulas which you would like to work.

RE: Help with TEXLive?
TexLive has been updated to 2025, whereas you are using the 2024 edition. The default repository now refers to the 2025 edition, and the TeXlive Manager cannot find the 2024 repository there. So you should either upgrade to 2025, or set the repository to a 2024 one. Kees Van: lyx-users Namens matan Verzonden: maandag 20 oktober 2025 19:24 Aan: LyX User Onderwerp: Help with TEXLive?

Hi I suggest using MikTex - it’s easier to use and requires much smaller place than TexLive. Best luck.

Re: Help with gnuplot xtemplate needed
I got it myself after a lot of trying and comparing:
In my file gnuplot.xtemplate I wrote "InputFormat gp", because
"InputFormat" and FileFilter extension are the same in the case of Xfig
(fig) and Inkscape (svg), but not with gnuplot: "InputFormat gnuplot"
and FileFilter .gp works!
For anyone interested I attached my working gnuplot.xtemplate.
Sorry for making noise!

When I had removed (after saving) it and started lyx204 anew the corresponding conf file started with a few lines, but after trying the lyx204 again it soon reached also the limit line length.

Dear users,
I hope you are doing very well.
Recently I tried to import a .tex file (attached with this email) to
Lyx software, however the following error happened.
*An error occurred while running:*
*“C:/Program Files/LyX 2.3/bin/tex2lyx” -f “generic-color.tex”
“generic0color.lyx”*
It would be appreciated if you let me know if there is any solution
for this problem.
Looking at the tex file, it appears that it uses a document class
ieeecolor. LyX does not have a layout file for that, so that is the
cause of the error.
The solution is to write a layout file for ieeecolor.cls. That appears
to be based upon ieeetran, so something like:
#% Do not delete the line below; configure depends on this
# \DeclareLaTeXClass{ieeeolor}
# \DeclareCategory{Articles}
Format 66
Input IEEETran.layout
(saved as layouts/ieeecolor.layout, then reconfigure) should get you
much of the way there. Some things will import as ERT (whatever
ieeecolor does that IEEETran does not), but that can be fixed. Please
see chapter 5 of the Customization manual for more info.

No drama whatsoever for 10 years or so when downloading from TUG and upgrading (annually). But then I have a shell script to do this for me.

In the past, I've had a lot of problems operating with both upstream tex, and package installed tex. So I recommend removing the package installed tex, and installing the upstream.

Re: help with error message
Heba, download BasicTeX from the MacTex site. And then use tlmgr from the command line to install missing packages individually. Before an update it is trivial to save the list of installed packages so that one can re-install them afterwards. I bought me a 32Gig 4TB MacBoc 13" Pro (BtO) the other day and a 16Gig 2TB 12" Air for travel. If you can wait a year of two I would wait a year or two :-)-O and then get the biggest M1 13 inch you can then afford (BtO). greetings, el On 2021-01-04 03:34 , heba said wrote: > Thanks download 4 G then installation around 7 so it is very hard to > download.

I've had 100,000 word books with graphics, indices and table of contents compile just fine in LyX. Except for those times I made an error (usually something with LaTeX or ERT). When that stuff happens to me (and it happens to me all the time because I'm not careful), I archive the current document, then keep cutting it half until I get it compile, then add stuff til it bombs, and take stuff away, and I can usually get it down to a paragraph and some document settings. At that point, my mistake is usually obvious, but if not, I can send that tiny document (called a Minimum Example) to the list and somebody will instantly diagnose the problem. One thing I do is compile early and often, so that the number of causes is limited. When working on a long term project like a book, I usually compile via a shellscript (or if you're Windows, I think it's called Powerscript). Much faster, easier, and informative.

Is this a problem for importing .tex or do you mean just if you insert

Jürgen,
The KOMA class itself provides a rich set of means to customize chapter
headings. See sec. 3 of the KOMA manual.
I've read through Chapters 3, 5, and 17 and the only header customization
I saw was the font size. Chapters 5 and 17 focus on scrlayer-scrpage and
seem devoted to headers and footers. Obviously, I missed seeing what you
pointed me toward.
As an aside, with \usepackage{fncychap} in the preamble the dvi preview
generates the error that the obsolete font, \rm, is not supported, as I
wrote yesterday. However, since I export (via pdflatex) the file before
leaving LyX for the day I looked at that this morning and saw that the
'Lenny' option of fncychap was used.
Since the compiled document has a different look to the chapter titles I
can live without the preview. It would be nice to see what I can do using
only the KOMA-Script capabilities but I'm more inclined to focus on content
(which is why I use LyX).

Ricardo, Yes, a book class does not require Parts, but that's still the maximum sectioning possible for that class. Chapter is not the maximum. That's the point I tried to make. Regards, Rich

"Parts" are optional and in fact they have "level -1" assigned (chapters are "level 0"). But yes, the table you indicate could be better. Maybe something similar to the table in https://en.wikibooks.org/wiki/LaTeX/Document_Structure#Sectioning_commands but adapted to LyX would be clearer.

I agree that for 2.3.0 it would be better to consider changing the default zoom instead of changing what 100% means. I do find it a little strange that the default is not 100%, but not strange enough that I think we should spend time on it for 2.3.0. Scott signature.asc Description: PGP signature

How do you want to achieve this? I’m not so confident it’s good to change the current computation of screen zoom. Every preference saved to disk would be „invalid“ after a change. I’m not against a decision what the best default zoom level is.

See: https://www.mail-archive.com/search?l=mid&q=20170606202640.45nziu2txu6dohek%40steph 4 Win users is not a representative survey. However, it is impossible to set a value that suits all different resolutions for different monitor sizes. Still on all PCs I have access to 120 is a sensible value. Note that there is also the aspect that different users on the same PC prefer different sizes. For example I share one of the PCs at work with a colleague. I use Windows' 100% system font zoom while he prefers 125% system font zoom. That is much too big in my opinion but well, everybody is free to set what he wants. I wrote how easy it is to set the zoom. Do you have any thoughts on increasing the default? It seems that this would be sensible as nobody uses 100% but always larger values, I think making the current 120% to the new 100% makes sense. regards Uwe

[[email protected]: Re: Help improve LyX's defaults by sharing your preferences]
Jan gave his permission for me to make his preferences file public. Scott --- Begin Message --- Hi Scott Here is my preference file (Mac OS 10.10.5, Lyx 2.2.0). HTH, Jan From: "[email protected]" on behalf of Scott Kostyshak Date: Thursday 1 June 2017 22:07 To: "[email protected]" Subject: Help improve LyX's defaults by sharing your preferences Dear all, There are many different preferences that the user can customize. It is difficult to think about what is the best default preferences for the most amount of users. One way I've thought of to get an idea of this is to start collecting user's preferences. If we see that a lot of users have changed a certain preference, we might think about changing the default. Of course, for you this won't make much of a difference since you have that setting set anyway. But it could make a difference for the out-of-the-box experience of new LyX users. Just to set realistic expectations, I would say that the chance of us changing a default preference are pretty low (see, for example, [1], for why this is complicated). In order to tak a rist, we need to have a lot of evidence about the average user; and since you are on a LyX mailing list that means you are not an average user in my opinion :). Preferences in particular that I'm curious about are: screen zoom continuous spellcheck math preview Before posting, please check your preferences file manually for any information that you prefer not to be made public. Your preferences are in a file called "preferences", stored in your user directory. To locate your user directory, see Help > About (I think on Mac this is LyX > About?). If you go to your user directory and there is no "preferences" file, that means that you have not changed any of the defaults. I still want to know in this case. If you could just respond "default", then that would be helpful. Please state your OS with the categories of Windows, Mac, or Linux. This is important because it is possible to have different default preferences on different platforms. Attached is my preferences file.

In case anyone is curious this is set here: development/Win32/packaging/installer/setup/configure.nsh The 120 was introduced at d964457d.
