Vincent,

on a current 10.8.4 moving from 2.0.6 to yesterday's 2.1.0beta1
how do I get libertine's Mono font installed?

These are the result of

grep -i libertine ~/Library/Application Support/LyX-2.1

styFiles.lst:/usr/local/texlive/2013basic/texmf-dist/tex/latex/libertine/biolinum-type1.sty
styFiles.lst:/usr/local/texlive/2013basic/texmf-dist/tex/latex/libertine/biolinum.sty
styFiles.lst:/usr/local/texlive/2013basic/texmf-dist/tex/latex/libertine/libertine-type1.sty
styFiles.lst:/usr/local/texlive/2013basic/texmf-dist/tex/latex/libertine/libertine.sty
styFiles.lst:/usr/local/texlive/2013basic/texmf-dist/tex/latex/libertine/libertineMono.sty
styFiles.lst:/usr/local/texlive/2013basic/texmf-dist/tex/latex/libertine/libertineotf.sty
styFiles.lst:/usr/local/texlive/2013basic/texmf-dist/tex/latex/libertine/libertineRoman.sty

but on the reconfigure it displays only libertine and biolinum, not the
mono.

If I add the plain

\includepackage{libertine}

in the preamble it continues to work.

greetings, el

Lyx 2.1.0beta1 don't print

2013-08-01 Thread Buenas Noticias


Hi all :

When you send a document to the printer or file, do not print and gives 
me the error: Error exporting to DVI.


If I export the document without printing, DVI works fine.

In version 2.0.6 everything worked fine. The printer is properly installed

My OS is Mandriva 2011 Linux

Someone idea ?

Hmm, I think, I didn't understand you.

I tried to move some standard toolbar from top to left margin and it worked.

Hi Ioannis,

If it were me, assuming I wanted the Acknowledgements on their own
page, what I would do is create an environment (LaTeX-speak for
paragraph styles) for the Acknowledgement's title, and one for its body
text, and use those. No muss, no fuss, no hassle.

The way I make environments is by using a layout file. If you don't
already have one, here are some details:


http://www.troubleshooters.com/lpm/200210/200210.htm#_MakingYourOwnLayout

Since that article was written, LyX has become much more accommodating
to having your layout file in the same directory as your document, so
these days, that's what I always do. No symlink required.

Thanks,

SteveT

I'm trying out 2.1.0beta1.  Interested in beamer improvements.

I'm finding the ui confusing.  I start off with a frame environment and put in 
a 
title.  I'd now expect to hit ret to put text into the frame.  ret is disabled.
If I move over a space with left -, now I'm outside title and hit ret.  OK.  I 
seem to be inserting text in the frame.

Now I want to try out block.  I choose 'block'.  It seems this block is now on 
a 
new frame - not inside the current frame.

I don't see how to put the block in the current frame.

Public release of LyX version 2.1.0beta1
==**==

We are proud to announce the first public beta release of the new LyX 2.1
series.

LyX 2.1.0beta1 is the culmination of two and half years of hard work.
This release is meant for testing before we actually release LyX 2.1.

An overview of the new features can be found here:
http://wiki.lyx.org/LyX/**NewInLyX21http://wiki.lyx.org/LyX/NewInLyX21

You can download LyX 2.1.0beta1 from

ftp://ftp.lyx.org/pub/lyx/**devel/lyx-2.1/lyx-2.1.0beta1/ftp://ftp.lyx.org/pub/lyx/devel/lyx-2.1/lyx-2.1.0beta1/
.

We hope you will enjoy the result!

The file RELEASE-NOTES lists some known issues and problems compared
to the current stable releases (LyX 2.0.x). We strongly recommend that
packagers of LyX on various platforms and distributions read this file.

As with any major release, this one comes with lot of new features but
also some bugs. If you think you have found a bug in LyX 2.1.0beta1,
either email the LyX developers' mailing list (lyx-devel at lists.lyx.org
),
or open a bug report at
http://www.lyx.org/trac/wiki/**BugTrackerHomehttp://www.lyx.org/trac/wiki/BugTrackerHome
.

If you have trouble using LyX or have a question, consult the
documentation that comes with LyX (under Help) and the LyX wiki, which you
will find at http://wiki.lyx.org/. You can also send email to the LyX
users'
list (lyx-users at lists.lyx.org).

NOTE 1 (for Autotools users):
make check/distcheck still fails for this beta release. This means that
therewill be difficulties to install on platforms that require these checks
to passbefore installing.

NOTE 2 (for Linux/CMake users):
If some of the dependencies of the test suite are not satisfied, CMake
might
not be able to generate the project files. To fix this problem, remove the
following line from CMakeLists.txt:
add_subdirectory(development/**autotests /autotests)

Re: Using Theorems (Numbered by Type) with Named Theorems

I'm not sure what happened with my previous reply; it seems to be
disconnected from this thread. At any rate, I tried another hack: rather
than including all the starred theorems (possible undesired pollution of the
environment drop-down list), I just hacked theorems-named.module to replace
the CopyStyle Theorem* line with the necessary lines from the Theorem*
style. In tests, it seems work as expected, allowing the named theorems
module to be used with any otherwise legal combination of theorem-related
modules (or by itself, without any other theorem modules).

Should we move this over to the developer forum as an RFC, or should I just
file a ticket with the fix attached?

Bind that to a shortcut, then run the shortcut, click on the empty

Note that this is somewhat a hack and is not guaranteed to work well

Re: problem with compiling

2013-08-01 Thread Omar Bamieh

Hi Scot and thanks for your email. I'm using version 2.0.6 of LyX on
Windows 7. I had recently installed Adobe Acrobat Pro XI, since I
feared that it may have caused the problem I uninstalled it and know I
am using Texworks as pdf which is installed by Lyx by default.

Do you have any tips what may cause the problem?

Thanks,

Omar

 I have a strange problem with Lyx. I have been using it regularly and
 today it suddenly stopped working. I cannot compile the pdf anymore,
 if I try to get a preview or try to export the file it goes on for a
 very long time without producing any output.

 The strange thing is that if I re-install everything from scratch,
 then Lyx works only for the first time I open it. If I close it and
 open it again it does not work anymore!

 The fact that I do not even get an error message makes it even harder
 to find some help on online forums. So, I have decided to write to the
 mailing list. Please help me!

 Hi Omar,

 Which OS do you use? Which version of LyX do you use and where did you
 download the installer? Which PDF reader do you use?

 Does LyX work again if you delete (don't forget to back up if you
 want) your user directory? In Linux, the user directory is ~/.lyx. On
 other operating systems, check Help  About.

Hi all :

When you send a document to the printer or file, do not print and gives

If I export the document without printing, DVI works fine.

Hi Ioannis,

If it were me, assuming I wanted the Acknowledgements on their own
page, what I would do is create an environment (LaTeX-speak for
paragraph styles) for the Acknowledgement's title, and one for its body
text, and use those. No muss, no fuss, no hassle.

The way I make environments is by using a layout file. If you don't
already have one, here are some details:


http://www.troubleshooters.com/lpm/200210/200210.htm#_MakingYourOwnLayout

Since that article was written, LyX has become much more accommodating
to having your layout file in the same directory as your document, so
these days, that's what I always do. No symlink required.

Thanks,

SteveT

I'm trying out 2.1.0beta1.  Interested in beamer improvements.

I'm finding the ui confusing.  I start off with a frame environment and put in

title.  I'd now expect to hit ret to put text into the frame.  ret is disabled.
If I move over a space with left -, now I'm outside title and hit ret.  OK.  I 
seem to be inserting text in the frame.

Now I want to try out block.  I choose 'block'.  It seems this block is now on 
a

I don't see how to put the block in the current frame.

Re: Using Theorems (Numbered by Type) with Named Theorems

I'm not sure what happened with my previous reply; it seems to be
disconnected from this thread. At any rate, I tried another hack: rather
than including all the starred theorems (possible undesired pollution of the
environment drop-down list), I just hacked theorems-named.module to replace
the CopyStyle Theorem* line with the necessary lines from the Theorem*
style. In tests, it seems work as expected, allowing the named theorems
module to be used with any otherwise legal combination of theorem-related
modules (or by itself, without any other theorem modules).

Should we move this over to the developer forum as an RFC, or should I just
file a ticket with the fix attached?

Note that this is somewhat a hack and is not guaranteed to work well

Libertine support LyX version 2.1.0 (beta 1)

The latest version of libertine in MacTeX 2013 (updated with tlmgr)
lacks the file libertineMono-type1.sty.

I took libertineRoman-type1.sty, modified it accordingly, put it into my
local tree, texhashed, reconfigured LyX and it works.

Cool.

Re: problem with compiling

2013-08-01 Thread Omar Bamieh

Hi Scot and thanks for your email. I'm using version 2.0.6 of LyX on
Windows 7. I had recently installed Adobe Acrobat Pro XI, since I
feared that it may have caused the problem I uninstalled it and know I
am using Texworks as pdf which is installed by Lyx by default.

Do you have any tips what may cause the problem?

Thanks,

Omar

Hi,

what do call "does not remember"?

A known issue is: LyX-2.1 doesn't use the same settings as 2.0.
The settings of 2.0 are not copied to the settings of 2.1, ATM.
Does this explain your problem?

I'm not responsible for widow sizes :)

Regarding the toolbar (location?):
You think LyX ever did remember the toolbar location in the past?
Do you know which version?

Hmm, I think, I didn't understand you.

I tried to move some standard toolbar from top to left margin and it worked.

The file where LyX saved this change is:
~/Library/Preferences/org.lyx.LyX-2.1.plist

Can you see any problem there?

Or do you have a complete different problem?

I am an elderly Gynaecologist, so I may be at fault here, but I am sure
I clicked the Apply button and moved on the first attempt.

Second time I clicked the Save button.

It seems to work now.

I am using LyX for so many years that I don't remember :-)-O. I
basically keep a window open all the time and do all new files in
the same window under a new tab so I only notice if I have to
restart.

I am running my whole practice on it, including re-implementing 3rd
party forms (for patients and even pulling data out of the

Hi Ioannis,

If it were me, assuming I wanted the Acknowledgements on their own
page, what I would do is create an environment (LaTeX-speak for
paragraph styles) for the Acknowledgement's title, and one for its body
text, and use those. No muss, no fuss, no hassle.

The way I make environments is by using a layout file. If you don't
already have one, here are some details:


http://www.troubleshooters.com/lpm/200210/200210.htm#_MakingYourOwnLayout

Since that article was written, LyX has become much more accommodating
to having your layout file in the same directory as your document, so
these days, that's what I always do. No symlink required.

Thanks,

SteveT

That's a known problem. The Apply button changes the settings for
the current session only and doesn't make it persistent.

One has to use the Save button.

This works for me.

Are you using any tool to manage size and/or position of the windows
of your desktop applications? Like Divvy or something similar?

This was problematic in the past…

And as I wrote in the previous mail, on my system (10.8.4 + LyX 2.1 beta1)
toolbar positions are persistent and correctly restored on restart.

Nope.  Plain Mac Os X 10.8.4, and this is the only program I have

Then I can use this new group "fullwidth" on images.  So when I insert image, I

2.1.0beta1 beamer ui issues

I'm trying out 2.1.0beta1.  Interested in beamer improvements.

I'm finding the ui confusing.  I start off with a frame environment and put in 
a 
title.  I'd now expect to hit ret to put text into the frame.  ret is disabled.
If I move over a space with left ->, now I'm outside title and hit ret.  OK.  I 
seem to be inserting text in the frame.

Now I want to try out block.  I choose 'block'.  It seems this block is now on 
a 
new frame - not inside the current frame.

I don't see how to put the block in the current frame.

Re: Using Theorems (Numbered by Type) with Named Theorems

I'm not sure what happened with my previous reply; it seems to be
disconnected from this thread. At any rate, I tried another hack: rather
than including all the starred theorems (possible undesired pollution of the
environment drop-down list), I just hacked theorems-named.module to replace
the "CopyStyle Theorem*" line with the necessary lines from the Theorem*
style. In tests, it seems work as expected, allowing the named theorems
module to be used with any otherwise legal combination of theorem-related
modules (or by itself, without any other theorem modules).

Should we move this over to the developer forum as an RFC, or should I just
file a ticket with the fix attached?

Re: cant get bibtex file into pdf

I put your bibliography and style in a dummy document here and had no
problems -- all the references showed up in the bibliography as expected.
The problem may lay in the document.

Re: Help With Acknowledgements Please

Have you looked at File > New from Template > thesis > Acknowledgments.lyx?
I would try copying its contents into your thesis. (Note: the template may
ask you to let it create a dummy thesis document. You can delete that
document once you've determined whether pasting into your actual thesis works.)

What have you tried so far?

You have two replies with proposed solutions that were sent to the
list and not to you directly:
from Steve:

And then Paul just gave a reply that will show up at the bottom of
that thread soon.

You could use the following action:
inset-insert graphics width 100text%
Bind that to a shortcut, then run the shortcut, click on the empty
box, then click on browse to select the graphic. Is that any better?

Note that this is somewhat a hack and is not guaranteed to work well
or in future versions of LyX. For example the graphics dialog normally
requires a filename. We might make it so the action does as well.

Hi Omar,

Adobe Acrobat X (X as in anything that follows) is known to cause
problems when working with LyX. I've heard good things about
SumatraPDF, an open-source and free PDF viewer for Windows:
