so slow...
Hi everybody, I have installed LyX at home on a PC. It works great. I have installed LyX at work on a AIX 4.3.2 system, to which I am connected via an X terminal. It is horribly slow. Especially delete character can really take a while. Does anybody know why it is so, and eventually how it could be better? Many thanks, Nicolas.

I'm using LyX with a X terminal me too (NCD HMX), but under Sun Soloris 2.7. I've never seen something like that and I don't think that came from LyX.

[Thanks] Un grand merci
I'd like to express my thankfulness to Mr. Jean-Marc Lasgouttes who spent a lot of time to help me use koma-script (which is great). We have discovered that the shame was on our LaTeX installation here, not on LyX. Koma-script will help me turn TeXies into LyXies, I hope. And add more newbies to the list (niark) Thanks also to the other faithfull contributors. Laurent

Standard LaTeX document classes
Hi; I just upgraded to 1.1.5pre1, now it can't find my standard document classes. I went back to Kayvan's great ftp site and got all the Tetex 1.0.6 etc. (from 0.9) and still no sLdc. What I am doing wrong?-- Bill Jehle ___ There -IS- no substitute for cubic inches.
find and replace
I have a numbered question and answer list (ASCII) that I have imported into lyx. I would like to know how to replace all of the question numbers (they are chronological) as enumerated, also would like to know how to nest the answers beneath each enumerated question. There are over 400 questions and answers. I know how to accomplish this by the long and arduous method (doing it by hand) but am wondering if there is a way to do this all at once, or at least in a smaller series of steps. Thanks in advance Shawn Koons

Formula Formating seems to act microsofty sometimes...
Greetings, I am runnning Lyx 1.1.4-fix3 on my linux box. This software is awsome, M.S. Word does not even come close to the power of Lyx. My problem is that sometimes when I reopen my document some of my formulas, for example a summation with upper and lower limits, needs to be reformatted. The upper and lower limts seem to slip down into an almost "in-line" mode style. I then have to look at all my equations and use the "alt-m l" option to get them back up on the top. Does anyone know why this is happening? Since I have many integrals and summations in my thesis I need a better way to fix this problem. best Regards and thanks in advance, Bruce
find and replace with bold
I am working on a legal outline in the report class. It is very important to distinguish between the words "shall", "will", "may", and certain others. Is there a way to do a find and replace of a word and only change the style? I need to BOLD two or three separate words (each occur 100's of time in the outline. I have tried to use a text editor, but it won't allow me to replace one word with something using two lines. E.g., I want to bold the word may:(something like this) FROM: /series defalt may TO: \series bold "may" Shawn

Docbook & configure
Hi All, I noticed a few postings back someone with the same problem I had: Lyx configure couldn't find docbook. I also noticed the reply stating that it might work in the next prerelease or in the version in CVS. I have since downloaded both of them but I guess the code isn't in. I read through the output of the configure scripts on both files and find: checking for SGML-tools 1.x (LinuxDoc)... (sgml2lyx) +checking for "sgml2lyx"... yes checking for SGML-tools 2.x (DocBook)... (sgmltools) +checking for "sgmltools"... no >From the "no" I would guess it didn't find it. I have docbook installed in: /usr/lib/sgml (at least that is where the .dtd file is and there is a sub directory called docbook-3.0) here as well. Any ideas? Thanx for any info. G. W. Patterson
LyX 1.1.5pre1 and Document Layout: SGML (DocBook article)
it's been a while when I last tried to convert an old Linux Mini-HowTo to SGML using LyX. I figured I'd give it another shot with this new prerelease but no luck so far. When I open a new document with nothing in it and do a 'File->View dvi' nothing happens as expected, however, as soon as I change the 'Layout->Document->Class' to 'SGML (DocBook article)' and then do a 'File->View dvi' I immediately get an alert pop-up stating a 'There were errors during the LaTeX run -- one error detected -- you should try to fix it'. No errors are highlighted in the document (obviously since there is nothing in it). On the text console I see a message showing up: sh: none: command not found Any ideas? BTW: View Postscript doesn't work either and FWIW: exporting to SGML seems to work nicely. Are there any prerequisites to run this new version LyX, any dependencies which I may have overlooked? -- Friedemann Baitinger [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://baiti.net/fb Success occurs in private and failure in full view.

Still problems
First thanks for everyone who has tried to help but things are still
amiss.
A brief update.
Spelling problem --
Claus Hentschel was kind enough to update the port so that the lyxrc file
speller setting was recognized. I tried to run aspell (site
http://aspell.sourceforge.net/ file aspell-.30win32-i386.zip ). Aspell
does start to run. It just looks up the LyX system. Time for the three
finger salute. Does anyone have aspell running on the Win95 port?
ReLyX problem
Jean-Marc Lasgouttes <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> helped solve the \d
error. Change line 95 from \documentclass to \\documentclass. But it
still does not run. The error:
reLyX, the LaTeX to LyX translator. Revision date 1999/09/27
Cannot chdir to //C/apps/lyx114/share/lyx/reLyX/:No such file or
directory at .. /share/lyx/reLyX/reLyXmain.pl line 351.
Compilation failed in require at ./reLyX line 52. Exited due to
fatal Error!
The perl code that it is using is;
# Stole this from Cwd.pm. Can't use the Cwd:: function cuz it's not in
5.003
# I could test $] >5.004 or something, but why bother?
sub my_fast_abs_path {
my $cwd = fastcwd();
my $path = shift || '.';
chdir($path) || die "Cannot chdir to $path:$!";
my $realpath = fastcwd();
chdir($cwd) || die "Cannot chdir back to $cwd:$!";
$realpath;
}
1; # return "true" to the wrapper
What is this trying to do? Maybe there is a path error. Whatfile does it
want to see?
One interest note, 4spell will check a *.lyx document ( out of lyx). It
flags a few commands but thats why there is an ignore command. If a full
list of command were avalible a 4spell ignore file could be created.
Any thoughts on how I can fix the rest of these error?
