batch lyx2latex
Hi List, I've a work around for a lyx2latex batch program. I can't believe I'm the only person who wants to do this, so here it is. First, thanks to Andre Poenitz for the command line option to do the export: $ lyx --export latex FILENAME.lyx Now the trick is to stop the gui poping up. On linux running XFree86 there is a virtual frame buffer X server, that acts a bit like /dev/null. It is available for other platforms also. Start the virtual frame buffer X server with a suitable display number: $ Xvfb :1 & This will sit there forever handling x protocol commands sent to that display. Now run lyx with the display set to this x server: $ /bin/rm -f FILENAME.tex && lyx -display :1 --export latex FILENAME.lyx We must remember to get rid of the tex file before we start, otherwise lyx will hang in a dialog asking us if we want to delete it!

Re: page numbers on first chapters
To answer my own question: Here's what I discovered will make this happen: I can use fancyhdr.sty to redefine the plain pagestyle and then use \usepackage{sectsty} \chapterfont{\thispagestyle{plain}} %adds page numbers to pages with chapter headings. I also changed the chapter heading font and centered the heading on the page with \large and \nohang\centered . Thank goodness to CTANs searchable index! - Jon Fox "Jon R.

Nameserver problem
Hi, Our department's nameserver is down (no secondary!), so there may be some interruption of this list. In particular, please contact the list owner at lyx@[141.225.11.87] temporarily, and do not use my address at wierdlmpc.msci.memphis.edu. I'll let you know when things will be back to normal.

It is almost certain, based on what you stated that your xforms version was a bad one for your libc version. As a general rule, a lyx core dump on startup is nearly always a system library problem (including the possibilites of bad xforms version, problems with the C library or X11 library problems). The xforms on ftp.sylvan.com works with RH 6.0 and RH 6.1, so you installed the right version for your system (which is why it now works). Cheers! ---Kayvan -- Kayvan A.

Lyx just core dumped - how I fixed it
-BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE- A while ago I installed lyx-1.1.2-1.i386.rpm on my RedHat 6.0 or 6.1 (I do not remember. Now I have replaced most, if not all the redhat rpms with the 6.1 version.) Since then I could not start lyx, it just said "Segmentation fault (core dumped)". The other day I saw that a new release, 1.1.4 had arrived, and I decided to install it. I also upgraded my installation of tetex to 1.0.6-7.386.rpm. The download site has xforms-0.88-3.i386.rpm, but I had 0.88.1-51 installed, which should be newer. The newly installed lyx also dump core. To investigate a little I have tried to see what is going on using strace. Lyx opens a socket connection to the X server, and writes and reads to this socket a good number of times and then it gets a SIGSEGV: 7660 write(4, "T\1\4\0!\0\0\0\377q\377q\377\306"..., 16) = 16 7660 read(4, "\0\vX\1\6\0\300\7\0\0T\0\270\17/"..., 32) = 32 7660 write(4, "P\1\3\0\7\0\300\7!\0\0\0\20\1\t\0"..., 48) = 48 7660 read(4, "\1\207Z\1\0\0\0\0^\0\0\0\0\0\0\0"..., 32) = 32 7660 write(4, "\20\1\t\0\31\0\300\7XDCCC_LINEAR"..., 36) = 36 7660 read(4, "\1\207[\1\0\0\0\0_\0\0\0\0\0\0\0"..., 32) = 32 7660 write(4, "\24\0\6\0*\0\0\0_\0\0\0\23\0\0\0"..., 24) = 24 7660 read(4, "\1\0\\\1\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0"..., 32) = 32 7660 --- SIGSEGV --- 7660 +++ killed by SIGSEGV +++ I checked the versions of xforms closer using rpm -q -i, and discovered that my exisitng xforms was built by suse. I do not know if the redhat and suse distributions are incompatible in any significant way, but just in case I uninstalled tetex-lyx, lyx, xform, and installed again, this time using the xforms provided at the lyx ftp site. The output of the installation began like this: [root@arabia packages]# rpm -i tetex-lyx-1.1.4-fix2.i386.rpm lyx-1.1.4-fix2.i386.rpm xforms-0.88-3.i386.rpm Re-configuring LyX for your system... /var/tmp/rpm-tmp.73727: /usr/share/lyx: No such file or directory /var/tmp/rpm-tmp.73727: ./configure: No such file or directory execution of script failed Configuring LyX for your system... checking for a LaTeX2e program... (latex latex2e) Seeing the error messages I just repeated the uninstall command, and installed the same three packages again, one at the time: xforms, lyx and then, tetex-lyx. This time there were no error messages. And, finally, lyx started! Since I did too many things between each trial, I do not know exactly what made the problem go away.

GV 3.5.8 (the usual version) with Ghostscript 5.10 does also have the bug. Ghostscript 3.33 was unable to read my test file at all :( Maybe GV and ghostview are incompatable with newer versions of Ghostscript? More test cases from anyone? And to all readers on lyx mailinglist too: - One solution is to use "ps2ps" (comes with ghostscript), but the resulting Postscript file is horrible. (ps2pdf followed pdf2ps produces the same horrible Postscript file) - Better way is to convert it to, say, JPGs, rotate them, and view with Xv. - The best way so far is to use "ps2pdf", open the file in Acrobat Reader, and use "print to file" in acroread. I will try if newer version of xpdf could do the pdf->ps conversion (0.5 was unable to read the pdf file).

I use the default fancy >style for my headings and get 'Table of Contents' as heading (and not >'Introduction') in my Introduction. Any hints? Just give a look to the attached lyx file. I think it will adress some of your problems (as it does for me...) the (lcr)head and (lcr)foot commands tells what to write in the various header fields. headrulewidth controls the width of the top horizontal bar. markboth tells to put the following text in the leftmark variable. So you can change as you like. (you can use the same command to change conclusion and references) the last renewcommand gives the format of the heading for the following chapters, that is here : 1. My first chapter title 5 It can be easily custumised (if you have a good latex reference manual ;)). Hope it will help you !

socket problem in Gnome Redhat 6.1
I have been using lyx for a long time under KDE/Redhat 5.2 with no problems. I have recently upgraded to Redhat 6.1 ( a decision that has cost me a lot of time ). My Lyx no longer works but just core dumps with a segmentation violation. I ran strace on lyx and found it seems to fail writing to a socket created in /tmp Any quick workarounds? What is this socket doing? I cannot find a refence to sockets in the Lyx source code. Thanks in advance Robin

Landscape Postscript Problems
