 From within a Super User Terminal I called

In both cases a lyx file opened and spellchecker worked as expected. I

The same procedure executed from an ordinary console resulted in

I believe to have everything in place and configured.

Yet I am getting : Spellchecker has no dictionaries

openSUSE 13.2
Lyx 2.1.2
KDE 4.14.6

Everything is up to date.
I did report this before but did not get any response.



You're using the packages from openSUSE? It should then work out of 
the box. I use the same system and spelling check works.


Can you start lyx with a clean configuration (mv ~/.lyx ~/.lyx.bak) 
and see if it still happens? Then we know whether it's somewhere in 
your configuration or in the system.


BTW: the default setting, which you have when you don't change 
anything yoursel, in LyX on openSUSE for spelling dictionaries is 
/usr/share/myspell, but that directory has the same content as 
/usr/share/hunspell, so it shoulldn't really matter.

Virtual box and try installing Ubuntu, Fedora, etc and share a folder.
Export to PDF or allow USB passthrough to your printer (unless it's a
network printer.)

Ubuntu and Fedora would be about 5 minutes of your time to start a
download going, and run through a generic installer on vanilla Virtual
Box hardware.

Honestly the longest time would be getting Virtual Box setup with
making sure the modules are compiled for your kernel and making sure
that your user is added to the virtual box group.

That's where I'd be going. Or a wipe and reinstall making sure you

Re: Urgent help needed; writing my thesis and no document class available

Hifza is almost certainly running Windows (see miktex).

Installing Ubuntu as a dual boot, if you know what you are doing is
probably one to two hours including backups, creating a bootable USB stick
etc.  If you are not too confident (see me for info) probably twice as long
just for rechecking instructions etc.  You also need a handy USB stick.

The first time I did it, it was a *bit *scary!


http://www.everydaylinuxuser.com/2014/05/install-ubuntu-1404-alongside-windows.html


Lyx probably can be installed in 15-20 minutes with a decent internet
connection,

http://wiki.lyx.org/LyX/LyXOnUbuntu#toc3

It' a rather drastic approach but it should work if the situation is really
desperate.

See the LaTeX preamble of the beamerposter template. You need to change the

 I am not sure I understand. You are using beamer (not beamerposter), and
you want to produce A4 output?

Since beamer loads geometry internally, it can be done by

\geometry{paper=a4paper}


in the preamble.

Very useful to control sections of your document on the fly so you

Also: What is ERT?

LyX uses LaTeX as its formatting engine -- even if it is an independent
project, from some point of view it may be regarded as a GUI (graphical
user interface) for LaTeX. Not all the packages and features of LaTeX
are supported by LyX: in these cases entering LaTeX code manually is

Urgent help needed; writing my thesis and no document class available

[Hifza Siddiq]

Hello.
I have been writing my thesis for a while with lyx and i must be done by 
tomorrow and lyx is not functioning properly. i ran the packaging manager and 
wanted to install a new package when all of a sudden miktex error appeared and 
since then all document classes are lost and so are the packages installed 
earlier (jurabib etc.). I reallly need help now. I have re-installed lyx many 
times now (newest version 2.1.3 answell as the older versions) but nothing 
works out.
Please I need real help :(
Best regards,H.S.

I don't know why esint.sty is not properly packaged for Red Hat, but I would 
recommend to use vanilla texlive, and not the one provided by the

What is Preview in Insert menu? I haven't found preview in the
docs.
I would suggest to refer to the manual (Help -- User manual: it's ready 
to compile), section A.4.27. Preview. It says that Preview Inserts a 
preview inset as described in section 6.12.

Section 6.12: Previewing Snippets of your Document
Very useful to control sections of your document on the fly so you
can see how they will look in the final document without having to break
your train of thought with viewing the output.


Also: What is ERT?

LyX uses LaTeX as its formatting engine -- even if it is an independent
project, from some point of view it may be regarded as a GUI (graphical
user interface) for LaTeX. Not all the packages and features of LaTeX
are supported by LyX: in these cases entering LaTeX code manually is
still necessary. The ERT (Insert TeX code) window is designed to enter
directly LaTeX code. For example, if you want to add an unnumbered
sectioning command (say a chapter) to your Table of Contents, you can
open a ERT windows and type the LaTeX code for this

I believe to have everything in place and configured.

Yet I am getting : Spellchecker has no dictionaries

openSUSE 13.2
Lyx 2.1.2

Everything is up to date.
I did report this before but did not get any response.



You're using the packages from openSUSE? It should then work out of 
the box. I use the same system and spelling check works.


Can you start lyx with a clean configuration (mv ~/.lyx ~/.lyx.bak) 
and see if it still happens? Then we know whether it's somewhere in 
your configuration or in the system.


BTW: the default setting, which you have when you don't change 
anything yoursel, in LyX on openSUSE for spelling dictionaries is 
/usr/share/myspell, but that directory has the same content as 
/usr/share/hunspell, so it shoulldn't really matter.

Dear Cor,
thanks for your reply (so far the only one).
I don't exactly understand what you mean by start Lyx with a clean 
configuration but this is what I tried:


From within a Super User Terminal I called
a) lyx
b) strace -f -e trace=file -o trace.txt lyx

In both cases a lyx file opened and spellchecker worked as expected. I 
could first check the English part of the document and after changing 
the Language in  Documents Settings to German the German text.


The same procedure executed from an ordinary console resulted in 
'Spellchecker has no dictionaries' and/or '...no errors found'.


I am not sure what the conclusion is or more specifically, what is/went 
possibly wrong with my current settings.

Hope very much you or another member of the list has an idea?!

Cheers,
Michael

Hifza, this is both a suggestion to you and a question to others as to

If Richard's idea didn't work, then today is the tomorrow you

a technical problem.

Do you have a friend with LyX set up on another computer? Perhaps you
can get it printed on his/hers, perhaps after installing some packages.

Everyone: How time consuming would it be for him to throw on Ubuntu
14.04 and get LyX running there? Or, if he's already running Ubuntu
14.04, perhaps Debian Wheezy?

Hifza, I'm so sorry about this. It really sucks, and I hope a solution

Hifza is almost certainly running Windows (see miktex).

Installing Ubuntu as a dual boot, if you know what you are doing is
probably one to two hours including backups, creating a bootable USB stick
etc.  If you are not too confident (see me for info) probably twice as long
just for rechecking instructions etc.  You also need a handy USB stick.

The first time I did it, it was a *bit *scary!


http://www.everydaylinuxuser.com/2014/05/install-ubuntu-1404-alongside-windows.html


Lyx probably can be installed in 15-20 minutes with a decent internet
connection,

http://wiki.lyx.org/LyX/LyXOnUbuntu#toc3

It' a rather drastic approach but it should work if the situation is really
desperate.

Virtual box and try installing Ubuntu, Fedora, etc and share a folder.
Export to PDF or allow USB passthrough to your printer (unless it's a
network printer.)

Ubuntu and Fedora would be about 5 minutes of your time to start a
download going, and run through a generic installer on vanilla Virtual
Box hardware.

Honestly the longest time would be getting Virtual Box setup with
making sure the modules are compiled for your kernel and making sure
that your user is added to the virtual box group.

That's where I'd be going. Or a wipe and reinstall making sure you
have 10 duplicates of all your thesis data!

See the LaTeX preamble of the beamerposter template. You need to change the
value of size= which is passed to beamerposter (the template, however,
already uses A0).

 I am not sure I understand. You are using beamer (not beamerposter), and
you want to produce A4 output?

Since beamer loads geometry internally, it can be done by

\geometry{paper=a4paper}


in the preamble.

Urgent help needed; writing my thesis and no document class available

[Hifza Siddiq]

Hello.
I have been writing my thesis for a while with lyx and i must be done by 
tomorrow and lyx is not functioning properly. i ran the packaging manager and 
wanted to install a new package when all of a sudden miktex error appeared and 
since then all document classes are lost and so are the packages installed 
earlier (jurabib etc.). I reallly need help now. I have re-installed lyx many 
times now (newest version 2.1.3 answell as the older versions) but nothing 
works out.
Please I need real help :(
Best regards,H.S.

I don't know why esint.sty is not properly packaged for Red Hat, but I would 
recommend to use vanilla texlive, and not the one provided by the 
distribution. Since texlive contains an own package manager for quite some 
time this is easy to do.

What is "Preview" in "Insert" menu? I haven't found "preview" in the

I would suggest to refer to the manual (Help --> User manual: it's ready

preview inset as described in section 6.12."

Section 6.12: Previewing Snippets of your Document
Very useful to control "sections of your document on the fly so you
can see how they will look in the final document without having to break
your train of thought with viewing the output".


Also: What is ERT?

LyX uses LaTeX as its formatting engine -- even if it is an independent
project, from some point of view it may be regarded as a GUI (graphical
user interface) for LaTeX. Not all the packages and features of LaTeX
are supported by LyX: in these cases entering LaTeX code "manually" is
still necessary. The ERT (Insert TeX code) window is designed to enter
directly LaTeX code. For example, if you want to add an unnumbered
sectioning command (say a chapter) to your Table of Contents, you can
open a ERT windows and type the LaTeX code for this

\addcontentsline{toc}{chapter}{Introduction}

I don't know about EL7, but on fedora 21:

rpm -qf $(locate esint.tex)
texlive-esint-type1-svn15878.0-1.1.fc21.noarch

Everything is up to date.
I did report this before but did not get any response.



You're using the packages from openSUSE? It should then work out of 
the box. I use the same system and spelling check works.


Can you start lyx with a clean configuration (mv ~/.lyx ~/.lyx.bak) 
and see if it still happens? Then we know whether it's somewhere in 
your configuration or in the system.


BTW: the default setting, which you have when you don't change 
anything yoursel, in LyX on openSUSE for spelling dictionaries is 
/usr/share/myspell, but that directory has the same content as 
/usr/share/hunspell, so it shoulldn't really matter.

Dear Cor,
thanks for your reply (so far the only one).
I don't exactly understand what you mean by "start Lyx with a clean 
configuration" but this is what I tried:


From within a Super User Terminal I called
a) lyx
b) strace -f -e trace=file -o trace.txt lyx

In both cases a lyx file opened and spellchecker worked as expected. I 
could first check the English part of the document and after changing 
the Language in > Documents Settings to German the German text.


The same procedure executed from an ordinary console resulted in 
'Spellchecker has no dictionaries' and/or '...no errors found'.


I am not sure what the conclusion is or more specifically, what is/went 
possibly wrong with my current settings.

Hope very much you or another member of the list has an idea?!

Cheers,
Michael

Hifza, this is both a suggestion to you and a question to others as to
whether it's feasible.

If Richard's idea didn't work, then today is the "tomorrow" you
mentioned, and your priority is to get the thing printed, not to solve
a technical problem.

Do you have a friend with LyX set up on another computer? Perhaps you
can get it printed on his/hers, perhaps after installing some packages.

Everyone: How time consuming would it be for him to throw on Ubuntu
14.04 and get LyX running there? Or, if he's already running Ubuntu
14.04, perhaps Debian Wheezy?

Hifza, I'm so sorry about this. It really sucks, and I hope a solution
can be found in time.

Hifza is almost certainly running Windows (see miktex).

Installing Ubuntu as a dual boot, if you know what you are doing is
probably one to two hours including backups, creating a bootable USB stick
etc.  If you are not too confident (see me for info) probably twice as long
just for rechecking instructions etc.  You also need a handy USB stick.

The first time I did it, it was a *bit *scary!


http://www.everydaylinuxuser.com/2014/05/install-ubuntu-1404-alongside-windows.html


Lyx probably can be installed in 15-20 minutes with a decent internet
connection,

http://wiki.lyx.org/LyX/LyXOnUbuntu#toc3

It' a rather drastic approach but it should work if the situation is really
desperate.

Virtual box and try installing Ubuntu, Fedora, etc and share a folder.
Export to PDF or allow USB passthrough to your printer (unless it's a
network printer.)

Ubuntu and Fedora would be about 5 minutes of your time to start a
download going, and run through a generic installer on vanilla Virtual
Box hardware.

Honestly the longest time would be getting Virtual Box setup with
making sure the modules are compiled for your kernel and making sure
that your user is added to the virtual box group.

That's where I'd be going. Or a wipe and reinstall making sure you
have 10 duplicates of all your thesis data!

Hifza, if you have your file on dropbox you can use LyX on the cloud 
through the website www.rollapp.com without the need to have it 
installed on your computer.

See the LaTeX preamble of the beamerposter template. You need to change the
value of size= which is passed to beamerposter (the template, however,
already uses A0).

 I am not sure I understand. You are using beamer (not beamerposter), and
you want to produce A4 output?

Since beamer loads geometry internally, it can be done by

\geometry{paper=a4paper}


in the preamble.
