incompatability between LyX 1.1.5 for Linux and Win9X?!
Hello everybody, I have written a document containing a table float at home under linux. This morning I worked again on this document, adding columns, rows and so on, but under Win98. When I now try to open my document at home again, LyX gives me the following error message: Tabular format 5 not supported anymore. Try an older version for conversion. After that, I get another popup telling me that the document may be truncated, and LyX exits. Opening this document in LyX 1.1.2 does not work, since it is created in 1.1.5. What is the problem, did I finally find a bug ;-). I suppose I can work around this by exporting to LaTeX, but it would off course be nice if this is fixed as soon as possible.

small Windows problem!
Hi, The instructions provided by Claus Hentschel worked very well. I think someone capable of partitioning, for- matting, and installing Win98 can install LyX. There were two problems. The Home directory was not correct, but the bat file corrected it. Not quite sure how to find out what the correction is, but that is Ok. The main problem was the Display. I set this to 0.0 in X-Win32(localhost:) and this was in the bat file. When LyX installed, it only covered the right 2/3 of the screen. I dragged the window to the left and loaded the tutorial. About 14 characters were unavailable to the right of the screen. Tried resizing the fonts, because that sometimes will shrink the text inward. Nope. Tried changing my screen resolution from 800x600? to 1074 or the next setting up and used large fonts in the Win98 Control Panel/Display. This worked but the color changed within the LyX program from green though this is maybe normal? Things are a little small. Changing to 0.1 in Xwin32 would not load LyX though I did not modify the bat file. But that seems the wrong way to go. Any suggestions for an 800x600 resolution? I liked the tutorial and I like LyX, Stephen

Hi Herbert, That eliminates the italics, yes? The reason I didn't address that is because most chemical formulae I use have numbers rather than letters. A simple example is water (H2O).

small Windows problem!
Hi, The instructions provided by Claus Hentschel worked very well. I think someone capable of partitioning, for- matting, and installing Win98 can install LyX. There were two problems. The Home directory was not correct, but the bat file corrected it. Not quite sure how to find out what the correction is, but that is Ok. The main problem was the Display. I set this to 0.0 in X-Win32(localhost:) and this was in the bat file. When LyX installed, it only covered the right 2/3 of the screen. I dragged the window to the left and loaded the tutorial. About 14 characters were unavailable to the right of the screen. Tried resizing the fonts, because that sometimes will shrink the text inward. Nope. Tried changing my screen resolution from 800x600? to 1074 or the next setting up and used large fonts in the Win98 Control Panel/Display. This worked but the color changed within the LyX program from green though this is maybe normal? Things are a little small. Changing to 0.1 in Xwin32 would not load LyX though I did not modify the bat file. But that seems the wrong way to go. Any suggestions for an 800x600 resolution? I liked the tutorial and I like LyX, Stephen

Hi Herbert, That eliminates the italics, yes? The reason I didn't address that is because most chemical formulae I use have numbers rather than letters. A simple example is water (H2O). Most inorganic equations fall nicely into this. More complicated examples tend to be schematic organics, at which point I use the Ochem package and my macros.

incompatability between LyX 1.1.5 for Linux and Win9X?!

When I now try to open my document at home again, LyX gives me the following error message: Tabular format <5 not supported anymore. Try an older version for conversion. After that, I get another popup telling me that the document may be truncated, and LyX exits. Opening this document in LyX 1.1.2 does not work, since it is created in 1.1.5.

A saved version never is backward compatible, I also removed support for reading tables of version prior to 1.0.0! So if you want to read a document written with an older version (<1.0.x) then you have to load it into a 1.0.x version and save it from there!

Has anyone else run into this? I observe one thing. When my document contains eps images it takes a certain time to render it. So, if I don't wait the end of the rendering process before starting working, images are not shown. During this time, the cursor are a strange blinking behaviour. Of course, If I wait that the cursor blinks regularly, all eps images are well shown. I think it's what you've observed, isn't it ?

I'll try it again and see if I can reproduce the behavior you describe, but normally the time it takes to render these images is minimal. (Just simple x-y plots, no color or anything.) When I load it using the File -> Open menu, as opposed to the recent files list, it renders them rapidly without trouble. (Which version are you using?

Hmm... I actually find it quite usable as is. I do Not write the entire formula in math mode, opting instead to use that only for the super/subscripts.

small Windows problem!
Hi, The instructions provided by Claus Hentschel worked very well. I think someone capable of partitioning, for- matting, and installing Win98 can install LyX. There were two problems. The Home directory was not correct, but the bat file corrected it. Not quite sure how to find out what the correction is, but that is Ok. The main problem was the Display. I set this to 0.0 in X-Win32(localhost:) and this was in the bat file. When LyX installed, it only covered the right 2/3 of the screen. I dragged the window to the left and loaded the tutorial. About 14 characters were unavailable to the right of the screen. Tried resizing the fonts, because that sometimes will shrink the text inward. Nope. Tried changing my screen resolution from 800x600? to 1074 or the next setting up and used large fonts in the Win98 Control Panel/Display. This worked but the color changed within the LyX program from green though this is maybe normal? Things are a little small. Changing to 0.1 in Xwin32 would not load LyX though I did not modify the bat file. But that seems the wrong way to go. Any suggestions for an 800x600 resolution? I liked the tutorial and I like LyX, Stephen

Re: sub/superscipts
Hi Herbert, That eliminates the italics, yes? The reason I didn't address that is because most chemical formulae I use have numbers rather than letters. A simple example is water (H2O). Most inorganic equations fall nicely into this. More complicated examples tend to be schematic organics, at which point I use the Ochem package and my macros.

Same problems with compilin LyX 1.1.5 on Sol 2.7
I am trying to compile LyX 1.1.5 on my Solaris 2.7 and just can't get it to work. I have seen other people have the same problem on the maillist, but nothing seem to help. I am using gcc 2.95.2 and the latest (?) libstdc++. I have tryed everything I can think of including installing a new X server (X11R6.4). One potential problem is that I don't have root access and it is impossible to convince our sysadmin to install anything in the normal file tree if it isn't copyrighted by Sun.
