LyX crash

1999-05-28 Thread Herbert

I want to import an ascii-file into LyX. This file
is about 1.9 MegaBytes! LyX always crashes, when trying
to import this file. LyX reports the following 
error message into the file xsession-error:


lyx: SIGSEGV signal caught
Sorry, you have found a bug in LyX. If possible, please read 'Known
bugs'
under the Help menu and then send us a full bug report. Thanks!
Bye.


The emergency backup looks very well, but when I opened
the as a real LyX-file, it's the same. After trying to
formatting the text, LyX crashes. This emergency-file
is about 3.7 MegaBytes.

I use SuSE 6.0 with Linux 2.0.36. 
Is it an error in fact of the big file?

printing not highlighted

1999-05-28 Thread Hal Huntley

I'm new to this list, and I'd bet the problems I'm having are not
unique to me, so if there is an FAQ I can reference that has the
answers, I'll be happy to start there. After a brief look through
the archives of the list and the web page, I haven't seen this issue,
though.

I've succeeded in compiling lyx on a Solaris 2.5.1 Ultra-1 machine.  We
have
gcc/g++ 2.8.1 on it.

We want to print, but the File -> Print option is not highlighted to
allow
this.  We have dvips in /usr/local/bin, and it is a version from 1993.
Is there something that needs to be in lyxrc.default?  Do I need to set
some value in config.h before compiling? I figure it must be something
fairly simple.

docbook support?

1999-05-28 Thread Anonymous

I know this has been asked before (most recently in february) but I'm 
still curious: is there a schedule/plan for docbook support in Lyx? 
Should I expect it in 1.0.3? Or will I be left hanging longer? 
Luis
P.S. Lyx is a really great program- I use it for virtually everything 
now. Thanks to everyone who has contributed time and effort.

1) open 2 xterms;
2) start minput from xterm 1;
3) select something from xterm 2, and paste it to minput --- fine, here;
4) close xterm 2;
5) paste again  there are two possibilities:
A) minput crash..
B) paste not performed, however, you can paste in xterm 1

Sorry, I can not make it crash exactly, but B is not correct as well.

OS: Solaris 2.4
X: 11.0 (release number unknown)
xforms: 0.88

Insert->Include File, Verbatim: Tabs are lost

1999-05-28 Thread Michael Behrens

Hallo!

(lyx-1.0.3pre4)

I just tried to include a simple ASCII file including tabs with

Insert->Include file, option Verbatim

But the tabs seem to be silently ignored, they even are not interpreted as blanks.
Is there a way to get them used or is this a featue/bug?

Regards

Hi,

I'd just like to let you know a hm, feature, that was recently discussed

I'm pretty shure you have a useful hint for us (;-)
Thanks a lot

  This seems a problem with the printer configuration..

  Could you send me a simple file where this happens? I would like to
see both the linuxdoc file and the resulting latex file.

 Which printer do you have? Have you used the printtool utility to
configure the printer?

 Without further informations I would think that was nothing to do
with lyx or sgmltools.

  Which Red Hat version do you have?
