Problems with 1.1.5pre3
Hi!
I'm a TeX/LyX newbie who's been using 1.1.4 without problems (great freeware :D!
I'm now writing all my papers in LyX and feeling sorry for my poor colleagues
who use Word under Windoze...). However, upon installing and using 1.1.5pre3 I
encountered the following problems (Solaris 2.6, SPARCstation 5, GCC 2.8.1).
1) When running 'configure' I used --with-lyxname="lyx-1.1.5". The compilation
worked fine, but when I ran 'make install' my old lyx binary in /usr/local/bin
was overwritten (?) with the new binary using the same name as my old version,
'lyx'. However, the directory /usr/local/share/lyx-1.1.5 was created, and when
starting LyX ~/.lyx-1.1.5 was created. Is this a bug?
2) When opening a document written in 1.1.4 everything looks fine. However, when
I want to view the dvi or postscript file (File - View dvi) the LaTeX run
produces the following errors and fails (from the LaTeX log):
Illegal parameter number in definition of \reserved@a.
Fig.~8).}
You meant to type ## instead of #, right? Or maybe a } was forgotten somewhere
earlier, and things are all screwed up? I'm going to assume that you meant ##.
The piece of text is from the end of a figure caption in a figure float.
According to the coding in the lyx-file there is no excess '}'. Below follows
the caption text extracted using cut-and-paste:
Entrainment rate E as a function of s=\sin \varphi . The simple formula
([eq:E_bope80_simple]) is compared to ([eq:E_bope80]), as tabulated in Table 5.4
of \citeN{bope80} for the lower values of C_{D}, and the results of
\citeN{eltu59} (determined from the fitted curve in their Fig. 8).
Now, the interesting part is that if I remove the citations everything works
(?)! Putting them back produces the same errors again. Is this a bug in
1.1.5pre3, that one cannot have citations in figure captions?
Cheers,
Olof

Hello, I'm about to start writing my thesis and considered using LyX. Before, I try to find out if I can do everything with LyX I actually planned to do using LaTeX. One of the most important things is to create a main document that imports subdocuments. However, I found that documents that are included by a document which is included in the main document seem to stay unprocessed, giving the error "LaTeX error: File 'tex' not found". I took a look in the archive and actually found similar questions, but no good hint whether this feature is intended to work or not. LaTeX itself actually supports nested \inputs. What about LyX? (I'm using LyX 1.1.4fix3.)

Hello to all,
recently I tired to view a lyx-file with "gv" in
Lyx1.1.5pre3 and got two errors:
1. Paragraph ended before\@item was complete
(LaTex error)
2.LaTex error: \beginn{list} on inputline 91 ended

\end{document}
When loading the same file into Lyx1.1.4 and
viewing it under "gv" no errors occure, everything
is fine...!?
Any comments ??? :-))

One thing to consider is that, since LyX 1.1.4fix2, the parsing of
LaTeX errors has much improved. This may mean that your document is
indeed wrong, but LyX did not notice it before.
We'd have to see an actual document to tell what is wrong.

Presentation
Hi, I am a long time LyX user and I am kind of in trouble. I am giving a presentation on Friday and I kinda bet on that I can do it with LyX/pstricks just as good as with Powerpoint. The presentation has lots and lots of formulas and some screenshots too. I am using foiltex with a modified layout file that lets me put graded background behind the slides. Then I convert to pdf with ps2pdf because I can not get pdflatex to work with pstricks. My problem is of course the fonts... They just look crappy on the projector especially the math fonts. So what can I do, I know there was a lengthy discussion on Type1 fonts here lately but I dont understand the whole issue Can anyone clue me in on this or give me pointer where to find __comprehensive__ (Remember I am under time pressure big time :-) information? Are there fonts optimized for the screen, i.e. 75dpi ? Are there better math fonts than the default? And most importantly how would I use these? Any clues on how to get figures (gif png whatever) into the presentation without scaling these, i.e. in there original resolution so they dont look crappy? I very much appreciate any help on this. Yes, I will start earlier next time but some things never change PS: If anybody is interested in how to use these graded backgrounds in combination with foiltex and the foils layout I'll be happy to write a mini-howto and summarize the process of making presentations for scientific purposes with LyX after this is over.

I suppose you need pdf to have it full screen, I have a perl script here

Using pybliographic with LyX
I am trying to get pybliographic 1.0 to work with LyX 1.1.4fix3 on a Redhat 6.2 system but without success.

I am trying to install the lyx-1.1.4 on redhat linux 6.2 and get the following error message after issuing the ./configure commmand : ** Cannot find libforms or libxfomrs. Please check that the xforms library is correctly installed on your system. Now, I installed the xforms rpm from the power tools cd that accompanies the redhat distribution, so I assume it is installed in the usual default directory. Am I correct? If so, where is lyx expecting to find the missing files. Thanks for any and all help, Dick Fell

Problems with 1.1.5pre3
Hi!
I'm a TeX/LyX newbie who's been using 1.1.4 without problems (great freeware :D!
I'm now writing all my papers in LyX and feeling sorry for my poor colleagues
who use Word under Windoze...). However, upon installing and using 1.1.5pre3 I
encountered the following problems (Solaris 2.6, SPARCstation 5, GCC 2.8.1).
1) When running 'configure' I used --with-lyxname="lyx-1.1.5". The compilation
worked fine, but when I ran 'make install' my old lyx binary in /usr/local/bin
was overwritten (?) with the new binary using the same name as my old version,
'lyx'. However, the directory /usr/local/share/lyx-1.1.5 was created, and when
starting LyX ~/.lyx-1.1.5 was created. Is this a bug?
2) When opening a document written in 1.1.4 everything looks fine. However, when
I want to view the dvi or postscript file (File -> View dvi) the LaTeX run
produces the following errors and fails (from the LaTeX log):
Illegal parameter number in definition of \reserved@a.
Fig.~8).}
You meant to type ## instead of #, right? Or maybe a } was forgotten somewhere
earlier, and things are all screwed up? I'm going to assume that you meant ##.
The piece of text is from the end of a figure caption in a figure float.
According to the coding in the lyx-file there is no excess '}'. Below follows
the caption text extracted using cut-and-paste:
Entrainment rate E as a function of s=\sin \varphi . The simple formula
([eq:E_bope80_simple]) is compared to ([eq:E_bope80]), as tabulated in Table 5.4
of \citeN{bope80} for the lower values of C_{D}, and the results of
\citeN{eltu59} (determined from the fitted curve in their Fig. 8).
Now, the interesting part is that if I remove the citations everything works
(?)! Putting them back produces the same errors again. Is this a bug in
1.1.5pre3, that one cannot have citations in figure captions?
Cheers,
Olof
Nested includes
Hello, I'm about to start writing my thesis and considered using LyX. Before, I try to find out if I can do everything with LyX I actually planned to do using LaTeX. One of the most important things is to create a main document that imports subdocuments. However, I found that documents that are included by a document which is included in the main document seem to stay unprocessed, giving the error "LaTeX error: File 'tex' not found". I took a look in the archive and actually found similar questions, but no good hint whether this feature is intended to work or not. LaTeX itself actually supports nested \inputs. What about LyX?

Viewing a file
Hello to all,
recently I tired to view a lyx-file with "gv" in
Lyx1.1.5pre3 and got two errors:
1. Paragraph ended before\@item was complete
(LaTex error)
2.LaTex error: \beginn{list} on inputline 91 ended
by \end{document}.
\end{document}
When loading the same file into Lyx1.1.4 and
viewing it under "gv" no errors occure, everything
is fine...!?
Any comments ??? :-))
Greetings Thomas

One thing to consider is that, since LyX 1.1.4fix2, the parsing of
LaTeX errors has much improved. This may mean that your document is
indeed wrong, but LyX did not notice it before.
We'd have to see an actual document to tell what is wrong.

Presentation
Hi, I am a long time LyX user and I am kind of in trouble. I am giving a presentation on Friday and I kinda bet on that I can do it with LyX/pstricks just as good as with Powerpoint. The presentation has lots and lots of formulas and some screenshots too. I am using foiltex with a modified layout file that lets me put graded background behind the slides. Then I convert to pdf with ps2pdf because I can not get pdflatex to work with pstricks. My problem is of course the fonts... They just look crappy on the projector especially the math fonts. So what can I do, I know there was a lengthy discussion on Type1 fonts here lately but I dont understand the whole issue Can anyone clue me in on this or give me pointer where to find __comprehensive__ (Remember I am under time pressure big time :-) information? Are there fonts optimized for the screen, i.e. 75dpi ? Are there better math fonts than the default? And most importantly how would I use these? Any clues on how to get figures (gif png whatever) into the presentation without scaling these, i.e. in there original resolution so they dont look crappy? I very much appreciate any help on this. Yes, I will start earlier next time but some things never change PS: If anybody is interested in how to use these graded backgrounds in combination with foiltex and the foils layout I'll be happy to write a mini-howto and summarize the process of making presentations for scientific purposes with LyX after this is over.

you could try:

in the preamble.

Don't know for math, but helvetica adobe should be used for text fonts:
\usepackage{times}
\renewcommand{\familydefault}{\sfdefault}

scale the graphs to the final size using convert, like
convert -geometry 50% foo.png foo.eps
IM gurus should know better perhaps about how to improve resolution.

I suppose you need pdf to have it full screen, I have a perl script here
which rewrites the viewgraphs as 4/3 (i.e. 29x21 PORTRAIT).
If you need it let me know.

use the package lineno.sty
in latex preamble:
\usepackage[]{lineno}
in LyX-file:
\begin{linenumbers}
.
bla bla bla the text
.
\end{linenumbers}
e.g. for options: [switch*,modulo]
linenumbers allways on the inner margin and modulo 5.
the package is availabe at TeX Archive Network (CTAN) or

For now, I'd suggest using pstill instead of ps2pdf (sorry, Peter). http://www.this.net/~frank/pstill.html I generate 40 - 100 foils every week, and this has always worked very well for me. I've never had any problem using our standard T1 font set (Sabon, Gill Sans, mathptm) with this approach either.

Using pybliographic with LyX
I am trying to get pybliographic 1.0 to work with LyX 1.1.4fix3 on a Redhat 6.2 system but without success. Here is what I have done: I have added this line to ~/.lyx/lyxrc: \serverpipe "~/.lyx/lyxpipe" Started lyx. Started pybliographic. Selected reference in pybliographic and clicked on cite. Nothing appears in the lyx window. What I get is a pybliographic message box that says: "Can't connect to LyX: no input pipe `~/.lyx/lyxpipe.in'" Checking ~/.lyx/ I can see lyxpipe.in & lyxpipe.out being created and destroyed. (Lyx seems to be grabbing lots of cpu cycles when lyxserver is turned on.) Does anyone else have these versions of lyx & pybliographic working together? What is the problem?
