Re: lyx2lyx fails to convert

[Tim Garrett]

Excellent. Thanks Stephan and Paul.

/System/Volumes/Data/Applications/LyX.app/Contents/Resources/lyx2lyx/lyx2lyx 
-v Contrast\ paper.lyx  > Test.lyx


produced a document Test.lyx that could be read by LyX 2.3.6.2.

This converted document was fairly recent (2016) so fingers crossed it 
works too on older documents as well.

to view the result page by page.

Another option is to use the message pane in LyX:

1. Start LyX
2. Activate Message Pane (menu item of the View menu)
3. Switch to the Settings tab
4. Choose „Selected“ at left and „info“ at right.
5. Open the file „Contrast paper.lyx“
6. Check the Output contents of the Message Pane

In case it’s a python problem the following command and it’s

$ /usr/bin/env python --version
Python 3.8.13

There does not seem to be any problem with the header. I created an 
empty LyX document with it, and the lyx2lyx script had no issues 
processing it. So the problem must be in the document body.


You can try the following. Find the lyx2lyx executable on your 
system. On Debian based Linux systems, it defaults to 
/usr/share/lyx/lyx2lyx/lyx2lyx. I have no idea where it is on a Mac, 
so I'll just refer to the equivalent string as "". In a 
terminal window, run


 -v 

which should print the converted document line by line in the 
terminal window. If it gorks, hopefully you will be able to see what 
it choked on and possibly an error message, which you can bring back 
to the list.

Hi Tim,

do you have any progress with your issue?

Did you update Monterey recently? Do you have a working Python 
installation?

Re: lyx2lyx fails to convert

[Stephan Witt]

Hi Tim,

you have to change your command - lyx2lyx is a folder in Resources:

$ /System/Volumes/Data/Applications/LyX.app/Contents/Resources/lyx2lyx/lyx2lyx 
-v Contrast\ paper.lyx > /dev/null
…

In case it’s a python problem the following command and it’s output is of 
interest:

$ /usr/bin/env python --version
Python 3.8.13

Re: lyx2lyx fails to convert

Sorry, probably being dense here but this is what I get after finding 
the function


/System/Volumes/Data/Applications/LyX.app/Contents/Resources/lyx2lyx -v 
Contrast\ paper.lyx
zsh: permission denied: 
/System/Volumes/Data/Applications/LyX.app/Contents/Resources/lyx2lyx


Thanks for helping out here. Been a LyX user since 2001 when it was KLyX

There does not seem to be any problem with the header. I created an 
empty LyX document with it, and the lyx2lyx script had no issues 
processing it. So the problem must be in the document body.


You can try the following. Find the lyx2lyx executable on your 
system. On Debian based Linux systems, it defaults to 
/usr/share/lyx/lyx2lyx/lyx2lyx. I have no idea where it is on a Mac, 
so I'll just refer to the equivalent string as "". In a 
terminal window, run


 -v 

which should print the converted document line by line in the 
terminal window. If it gorks, hopefully you will be able to see what 
it choked on and possibly an error message, which you can bring back 
to the list.

installing old versions of lyx but without success. Below is the lyx 
preamble


Thanks

There does not seem to be any problem with the header. I created an 
empty LyX document with it, and the lyx2lyx script had no issues 
processing it. So the problem must be in the document body.


You can try the following. Find the lyx2lyx executable on your system. 
On Debian based Linux systems, it defaults to 
/usr/share/lyx/lyx2lyx/lyx2lyx. I have no idea where it is on a Mac, so 
I'll just refer to the equivalent string as "". In a terminal 
window, run


 -v 

which should print the converted document line by line in the terminal 
window. If it gorks, hopefully you will be able to see what it choked on 
and possibly an error message, which you can bring back to the list.

You use in some section defitinions \uppercase or \MakeUpercase. Should
be \MakeUppercase in all cases.

Here are your errors:

\MakeUppercase (not the double "p")

\MakeUppercase (not \uppercase)

I used a small part of the book and used -to be on the safe side, Lyx 
2.2.3 (17Mai2017).

I get errors, which seem to be due to

\setkomafont{section}{*\it*}

\setkomafont{subsection}{\hskip1cm\it}

in the LaTex Preface.

which is nowadays replaced by \*itshape*

and warnings.

The *Preface is from Springer Publisher*

I am now trying longer parts of the book and see, whether I find the 
culprits.


(Thanks, Jürgen, I could send you the .arch file of the book, but its 
1.3 MiB and thus an imposition)

2014-11-10 14:40 GMT+01:00 Graham Smith:

 Hello Jurgen,

 Sorry for the delay in replying, I missed your response.

 It won't compile because of R code chunks which have been altered.

 What was originally:


 [image: Inline images 1]

 has been changed to:

 [image: Inline images 2]

 all the way through the document


I think this is what it is supposed to be now (i.e., correct). But I am not
sure (I do not use chunks). Doesn't the LaTeX output look identical?

I started to edit it back, but in the end just had to use last years
 pdf/beamer for my class.

 Indeed this has become a major problem as only a few of my lectures from
 last year will compile this year (not all have r code chunks in them).

 I assume its some something to do with beamer as a typical error relates
 to  paragraph ending before  beamer@inlineframetile was complete.


Could you send such a document for inspection?



 Unfortunately, I have been in too much of a panic to prepare something fro
 lectures that I haven't spend the time trying to sort it out. But I seem to
 have separators between slides that i can't remember being there before.


This is correct. In the new interface, frames have to be separated that way.

I just don't have the time to look at it properly right now.


If you find time again, please prepare an example document, so we can check
what is wrong.

Jürgen



 Cheers,

 Graham

Only if you use 2.0.8 (the last release in the minor series can open
the next major format). You can alternatively copy the lyx2lyx scripts
from 2.0.8 or 2.1.x and use those.

I just change the \lyxformat specifier using a text editor and it 
usually will work.   just open your .lyx file and make the change to see 
if it will open.

This is not a good idea. In an emergency, I suppose it's worth trying, 
but there is a reason the format number changes. With Lyx 2.1.x files, 
for example, if you use any of what used to be called Short Title 
insets, you will get errors.

Hi,

Quite often I have problems with lyx2lyx failing when updating from 
svn and doing a make install. I've been trying to pinpoint the problem 
to write a better report, but to no avail. Where should lyx2lyx go 
normally? does it follow the --prefix? it fails even when I rename my 
.lyx folder and start the make install from scratch. Any ideas? 
Workarounds?

THanks!

It should follow the prefix, but I think we did once have a problem with 
its not doing so. The workaround would be to copy the lyx2lyx/ directory 
manually.

You surely know, that the extension of exported files is _not_ .lyx but e.g. 
.lyx16 ?

Yes, pritty much. I saved the lyx2.0 file with another name and exported

e.g. .lyx16 ?

 The lyx file is in lyx format 2.16 (or so it claims in its header).
 
 Launching lyx2lyx from the console gives the following error:
 
 
 Warning: An error ocurred in 225, function add_end_layout at 0x295f230
 Traceback (most recent call last):
   File /usr/share/lyx/lyx2lyx/lyx2lyx, line 83, in module
 main()
   File /usr/share/lyx/lyx2lyx/lyx2lyx, line 77, in main
 doc.convert()
   File /usr/share/lyx/lyx2lyx/LyX.py, line 500, in convert
 conv(self)
   File /usr/share/lyx/lyx2lyx/lyx_1_4.py, line 449, in add_end_layout
 struct_stack.pop()
 IndexError: pop from empty list
 
 Any insight on what the problem may be?

I suspect of the conversion script. :-)

The lyx format at the time of 2.16 was a lot less structured than it is now in 
the sense that it would accept incorrect files and try to do the right thing.

Could you, please, send me privately a part of the converted file where this 
happens?

 Cheers,
 
 S.

Oh well, I can't reproduce it any longer. I tried several times yesterday and 
failed, eventually resorting to the hack I described. Today, of course, the 
direct conversion from within Lyx worked liked a charm.
I suppose it'll go down in my book as another Lyx mystery.

I have more files to convert in the next few days. I'll post a short example is 
something goes wrong again.

Cheers,

 Dear Lyxers,

 I am trying to convert a batch of old documents written with
 Framemaker into LyX. There is a nifty little utility that allows the
 conversion and I have used it successfully in the past (mif2lyx). However,
 it has not been maintained since 2000 and it produces lyx files in the 2.16
 format.

Could you send me (privately) a small lyx file that fails?

Previous lyx versions were quite lenient in the accepted lyx files, they 
accepted files that could never be formed by lyx. lyx2lyx tries to be very 
liberal in the files that it works with but it is very difficult to cover all 
cases.

I try hard to support ancient scripts used to convert to lyx files, and so we 
have adjusted successfully in the past lyx2lyx to work with the first  
incantation of csv2lyx (among others).

mif2lyx seems to fit under the same umbrella so the same procedure will apply 
to it as well. :-)

 As Jurgen said, export to 1.5.x should work on Windows, too. But
 you have to find the right file: FILENAME.lyx15.

 But maybe not many are so stupid and would look for the new version file
 by default, rather than assume the original is now altered?

The same effect can be achieved by a destination file choosing
dialogue (with the default file name and path pre-selected).
The added bonus is that you are able to modify the target
destination/name.

 If someone wants to file an enhancement request over at bugzilla about 
 this, and then cc me (rgh...@comcast.net),
 I'll see if I can get to it for 1.6.3. (We're frozen for 1.6.2, which
 should be out in a few days.)

I added the request for where to export also as choice from GUI 
to Bug # 4501 http://bugzilla.lyx.org/show_bug.cgi?id=4501
lyx -e  should have an option of where to export.

Maybe someone with right permission could change the topic to 
LyX should have an option of where to export.
