It would probably be a very easy fix to make the dialog non-modal.

FYI, the reason we have this at all is to make it possible for people to
stop processes that are going on too long. As Scott sort of said, once
we have the ability to cancel this kind of thing, the timeout may no
longer be necessary. But that is still a bit buggy.

US(NM): 7.23MB/s; business network; UCSD mirror: 23.8MB/s

No logs, but the speeds speak for themselves.

US(NM): 90 KB/s (24 minutes to download); residential ISP; UCSD mirror:
9.5MB/s (16 seconds to download)

As an aside, and as one of the likely instigators of this poll, the slow
speeds I've seen (as slow as 10s of kbps) have been sporadic, albeit
observed in both the US and Asia from ftp.lyx.org.  Note that both of the
residential ISP wgets above were made from the same computer, one directly
after the next.  Note further that the ISP is much derided Comcast
Xfinity...

Same reason a dog runs to get a thrown ball, and brings it back to you,
time after time. I was telling one of my buddies how dumb dogs are:
They will keep bringing the ball back forever, as long as you keep
throwing it.

Then one day I overheard my dog talking to the next door neighbor's

You do not need to babysit it. Actually the process should keep going
even if you don't click a button.

Note that by LyX 2.4.0 we will have a feature where you can cancel the

wonder if with this feature we will increase the timer lenght.

Just Do It! — Long Export Process Halted to Query Continuation

[Daniel Kian Mc Kiernan]

Is there a way of telling LyX to continue an export process without 
pausing to query me as to whether I wish it to continue?


Occasionally, I want to convert a paper to OpenDocument format.  The 
process takes rather a long time.  I'd like to go away from it, so 
that I can be productive in some other way.  But LyX repeatedly posts 
a dialog that cries ‘The command / mk4ht oolatex ".tex" / 
has not yet completed. / / Do you want to stop it?’ So that I'm forced 
to babysit it.


On the one hand, I quite understand why a query is made.  On the other 
hand, I don't understand why a “Just Do It!” option or a user-set 
timer doesn't seem available, as there are various ways within most or 
all OSs to terminate processes.


(Obviously, if all else fails then I can punt to the command line to 
run oolatex.)

Sorry, forgot to time it but it was downloaded fairly quickly.

Due to our isolated area am on satellite internet which is pretend
broadband.

Downloaded from Australia from home.

Speeds were from a start of 1.4 MB, sped up and toward the end of the
download reached 2.7 MB, but mainly around the 1.6 - 1.8 MB speed.

Tried it again after a few minutes to time it. Only allowed a few
minutes to do that and the speed never reached higher than 746 KB so
killed it.

Hope that helps.

Hi Pavel,
I get from the main ftp site:

from home:4.26MB/sin 31s
from university network:  40.8MB/sin 4.4s

I can test other sites but for this test this should be more than enough. :-)

In case your download of the link above is more than couple seconds, it would

Hi, Pavel,

I am in a hotel in Austin TX at the moment, so using the hotel's wifi.
Downloading from ftp.lyx.org, I'm seeing speeds fluctuating between
about 20KB/s and 100KB/s (so, no, I didn't wait the whole hour to see
how it worked out). The UCSD mirror gave me 2.89MB/s. Just for kicks, I
tried the South Africa mirror, as well. That gave me an average 1.42MB/s
(and was over 2MB/s at times). Greece gave me 163KB/s, though it was
often higher than that.

Thay can if they wish, but the bad cases (less than hundreds of kb/s)
will be responsibility of provider<-ftp.lyx.org connection I believe.

I am mostly interested about results from Asia/South America though, that's
where the worst reports came from (5kb/s)...

There's little unit confusion here, I usually run wget which works in 
K(=*1024)/M/bytes
(ironically it does not report the 'byte' part).
Anyway the reported slowness of wget might be also due to ncftp really
measuring in kB meaning 1000*bit, not byte...

For the rest of reports maybe better if we stick to wget measurements if you 
have them
on your computers. i.e.:
wget 
ftp://ftp.lyx.org/pub/lyx/devel/lyx-2.3/lyx-2.3.0rc2/LyX-2.3.0rc2+qt5-x86_64-cocoa.dmg

Pavel,

  Looks to me like the pipe between the server and the tester's ISP (which
would be the universtiy/college in two cases) has the largest influence, not
the connection between user and ISP. It will be interesting to see the rest
of the results.

  Perhaps responders could report their nominal download speeds and the type

interesting, too.

Same reason a dog runs to get a thrown ball, and brings it back to you,
time after time. I was telling one of my buddies how dumb dogs are:
They will keep bringing the ball back forever, as long as you keep
throwing it.

Then one day I overheard my dog talking to the next door neighbor's
dog. My dog said "I can't believe how dumb humans are:  They'll keep
throwing that ball forever as long as I bring it back."

Small poll - download speed of LyX installers

[Pavel Sanda]

Hello lyx users,

it has been brought to our(=developers) attention that downloading speed of lyx
installers might become too slow on various places over the globe. The size of
installers was steadily growing past years and 220 MB might indeed pose problem
in case users end up with connections speeds about ~10kbs...

That's why this small poll - we would be intersted to know how bad the situation
generally is -- especially outside of Europe.

If you have one minute of spare time could you download this file
ftp://ftp.lyx.org/pub/lyx/devel/lyx-2.3/lyx-2.3.0rc2/LyX-2.3.0rc2+qt5-x86_64-cocoa.dmg
and report:

1. time to download (/ download speed)
2. country (and/or domain) where you download from
3. whether you download from home/academic network/large company...
(you don't have to report more details than it feels comfortable...)

Both good and bad answers matter, we want to know whether this is sporadic
or widespread problem.

In case your download of the link above is more than couple seconds, it would
be useful if you also reported whether some of the mirror servers listed at
http://www.lyx.org/Download#toc11 which are closer to your geographical
location perform better.

Thanks for your time,

A student of mine have the exact same problem on a laptop with Windows 10, and 
I tried to help her fix it: the log didn’t seem to contain any error (!)—I copy

It keeps doing the same thing. Any idea? Should she try to install an older

RE: LaTeX failed

[Baris Erkus]

Elloh,

Are you new to LyX/LaTeX? Do you have experience on LaTeX on command-line 
and/or text editors?

LyX and LaTeX are two separate software pieces and the error you encounter may 
be a result of faulty LaTeX or LyX installations.

It may be a good idea to check if your installations are OK. For example, to 
check LaTeX installation, I use old style compilation (either command-line or 
using simpler text editors such as Texmaker).

Of course, the starting point is to look at the error log file as recommended 
in the list.

If you are not new to LxY/LaTeX, probably you are already following the above 
steps.

Subject: LyX: LaTeX failed

Dear Sir/Madam,



I have just installed LyX version 2.2.3 on my laptop but when I wanted to see 
my output in other formats, i. e., View[PDF(pdflatex)], the pdflatex gives the 
following error message:


"LyX: LaTeX failed
the external program pdflatex finished with an error.
It is recommended you fix the cause of external progam's error (check the 
logs)".



Please what should I do to overcome the problem ?
Hope to hearing from you soon.


Thank you
With kind regards

Subject: Irregularity with CambridgeUS theme in Beamer   Hi,    This is a 
persistent irregularity with beamer when using CambridgeUS theme that I noticed 
since  2.2.x. Currently I'm using 2.3.0dev.    In a beamer frame, two boxes 
(minipages, drop shadow) are place in columns next to each other. Everything 
works fine, except in the first frame one of the boxes including text is always 
red.    Please see test file for more details.    What could this be? Many
