*** This bug is a duplicate of bug 303587 ***
https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/303587

Hi all,

I see that this bug has been marked as a duplicate of bug 303587. I have
just updated my laptop today (26/01/2010, Maxima 5.17.1) and find that
the bug described in 303587 does not occur but the bug described in this
report does. I see that 303587 has numerous bugs marked as duplicates. I
realize that these bugs throw similar errors, but since one seems to
have been resolved while others remain perhaps they should not be marked
as duplicates? Specifically:

describe(plot_options); // bug raised in 303587 evaluates correctly for me
integrate((x-1)/(x^3+1),x); // this bug does not evaluate correctly, throws the 
errors given in this report

Some other commands that failed on my machine :
sqrt(2 * %pi);

assume(a > 0)$
integrate (1 / (x^2 + 1), x);

wxplot3d( exp(-x^2 - y^2), [x,-2,2],[y,-2,2]); // fails, but seems to be
a wxMaxima specific command.

assume(omega > 0);
ode2( 'diff(y, t, 2) + omega^2 * y = 0, y, t );

The majority of these I tested via wxMaxima (they come from the tutorial
http://wxmaxima.sourceforge.net/wiki/files/5/53/10minute.zip), but I
checked some of them using Maxima directly and those that I checked
produced the same errors as with wxMaxima.

Re: [Bug 211508] Re: [hardy] Lyx cannot export to DVI or PDF

2008-11-26 Thread michae7
Thank you for that message. I have been using LyX 1.5.5 for a while
now so am out of touch with the default install. The original bug was
to do with images not displayed correctly, and I found installing
imagemagick to be the biggest help with that. Imagemagick provides a
chain of converters that can convert a wide range of images types to
one that LyX can display. I see that it is currently recommended by
LyX, and based on your statement that texlive-latex-recommended which
is also recommended will be included by default, I presume this will
too.

Regards,
Michael

Re: [Bug 225169] Re: gnuplot window moves when rotating image

2008-07-30 Thread michae7
Hi there,

Thanks for the information. I downloaded wxWidgets 2.8 from the
package manager. I actually installed gnuplot 4.2.3 from source and
that fixed the problem on my Ubuntu machine, even with the older
version of wxWidgets. Will link my gnuplot against the new version of
wxWidgets when I get a chance.

I should have made a comment about the upgrade fixing my problem on
the bug list, but I did want the Ubuntu team to make sure that the bug
is fixed for people who get gnuplot off the repositories. Most Ubuntu
users don't compile the software themselves.

Thanks again,

Michael

[Bug 211508] Re: [hardy] Lyx cannot export to DVI or PDF

2008-05-03 Thread michae7
I have managed to fix most of the problems with the images not been
displayed. The site http://www.lyx.org/AdditionalSoftware recommends
some additional packages for LyX. I added the ImageMagick package and
some additional TeXLive packages (the texlive metapackage) from synaptic
package manager. Following installing these packages I removed LyX and
reinstalled it.

The tutorial now converts correctly to PDF (no errors and images look
correct), most images appear correctly in PS but some are not displayed
correctly. Images do not export correctly to DVI (a rectangle with a
black border appears instead of the image).

Perhaps the ImageMagick package should be added as a dependency,
currently it isn't even suggested under add/remove applications.

[Bug 225169] [NEW] gnuplot window moves when rotating image

2008-05-01 Thread michae7
Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: gnuplot

Using Ubuntu 8.04 and gnuplot:  Installed: 4.2.2-1

When plotting data using the splot command the gnuplot window opens and
displays the 3d surface plot as expected. Before I installed 8.04 I was
using 7.10 (I am not sure what version of gnuplot but it was the one
from synaptic) and the 3d image could be rotated by left clicking in the
window and dragging the mouse around. The other window would stay in one
place and the image inside would rotate.

Using the new version, if the images is rotated when the window is not
maximised the window moves down and to the right by about the width of
the window title bar and left hand edge.

This makes me suspect that the program redraws the window by drawing a
whole new window and deleting the old one using some standard api call.
The new one is created slightly offset so that it doesn't cover the
original, which is presumably the normal behaviour for a newly opened
window but is wrong in this case because we want it to open in the same
place as the previous one so that no change is noticeable.

The behaviour is annoying when you want to rotate your image but a basic
work around is to maximise the window, so the bug is probably fairly
minor.

[Bug 211508] Re: [hardy] Lyx cannot export to DVI or PDF

2008-05-01 Thread michae7
I am finding a similar problem using LyX on hardy. I have a fresh
install of hardy and added LyX from the add/remove tool in the
Applications menu. A file that I made which contains .tiff and .ps
images is able to display the tiff images in LyX but not the .ps images.
When I try to export to PDF it throws the error:

LyX: Cannot convert file
No information for converting tiff format files to png.
Define a converter in the preferences.
OK

It throws the above error for each tiff image.

A good way to repeat the error is to open the Tutorial.lyx file that
demonstrates how to use LyX and is automatically available. This file
contains a number of xpm images which display fine in the program
itself, but when you try to export to DVI it throws a similar error to
the one above except the file type line reads "No information for
converting xpm format files to eps." It will throw this error a number
of times (once per image I presume) and then it complains: "LyX: Output
is empty". Finally it reports a LaTeX Error: File 'ifpdf.sty' not found.

As I understand it LyX uses converters to find a conversion path between
the image file that you ask it to include and one that it can display or
export to DVI or PDF. It seems that a lot of the commonly needed
converters and stylesheets (even the ones used in LyX's own manuals) are
missing.

I'm not sure how the importance of a bug is decided, but these errors
would make the program daunting for people just learning to use it and
it would be a major set back for people who have made complex documents
in LyX and need find and add each converter individually.
