LaTeX Error: Environment cBoxD undefined.

[Lloyd R. Prentice]

Hello,

I'm attempting to format code listings in a shaded box.  The heading 
would look like "Listing CN.LN Example code," CN is chapter number, LN 
is listing number, and "Example code" is in italic. I also need to 
highlight code fragments in bold.


It looks like the tcolorbox package can do what I need. But when I 
attempt to use it and compile to PDF I get an error.


Can some kind soul show the way to success?

Here's what I have so far:

Document class: KOMA Script Book
Module: Fancy Colored Boxes

Lyx source code:

% Preview source code

%% LyX 2.2.3 created this file.  For more info, see http://www.lyx.org/.

Book templates in lyx

[lloyd]

Hello,
 
I'm perplexed and concerned.
 
I've typeset several of my books in lyx using the memoir book package.
 
But now, on a new computer and fresh install of lyx I can't find a single book 
package in settings and somewhere in the somewhat confusing help pages find a 
note that memoir is broken and one should use caution using it.
 
What gives? What's changed?
 
Best wishes,

LRP,

  What is your OS and version of LyX? Do you have memoir.sty installed?

  On my Slackware-14.2 systems, all running LyX-2.2.3 there are multiple
book classes, including memoir, listed under Settings -> Document class.

Do you know you can do such things natively in LyX?
Version Control Toolbar->Insert Version Info and the select what you want
in context menu.

I'm using Chrome on Windows at my university which has a pretty fast
connexion normally. However, it's telling me 40 minutes left (pretty
consistent time, not going to wait for it to finish, however).

ETSMTL.CA is the domain. It's my university.

The mirror at ftp://ftp.ucsd.edu/LyX/devel/lyx-2.3/lyx-2.3.0rc2/ indicates
4 minutes (consistently, but the other download is ongoing).

I have attached a lyx file which shows (only) the bend arrow. If

at the file with an editor it shows for the body part:

\begin_body
\begin_layout Standard
\begin_inset Separator latexpar
\end_inset

\end_document

The bend arrow in the lyx display corresponds to
\begin_inset Separator latexpar
as found out by the gurus.

My question is, whether it is safe for a large document (e.g. books)
to
open the lyx file with an editor, remove begin_inset Separator, save
it
and run lyx again, hopefully successfully. However, the  latexpar
should
also be removed, and this can also be something else (the bend
arrows
occur also in a legend, at the end of chapters, sections etc). So it
should be removed in some more eleborate way (SED??). Or is there a
better way?
It would save a lot of time instead of removing those separator
beasts
by hand, if I need older lyx files for the newer lyx versions.

The following command sequence (to be inserted in the minibuffer)
removes all latexpar separators in the document and transforms the par
separator to normal separators:

command-sequence inset-forall Separator:parbreak inset-modify separator
plain ; inset-forall Separator:latexpar char-delete-forward

very good! Thanks a lot, Jürgen! The minibuffer goes where?

Do you still have the originals? This could help us a lot to test

Probleme bei der Erstellung einer PDF

[Tobias Malterer]

Sehr geehrtes LYX Team,


Leider kann ich seit neustem keine PDF Datei erstellen, da diese Fehlermeldung 
erscheint.

Ich verwende die LYX-Version 2.2 und habe diese heute neu installiert, da der 
Fehler aufgetreten ist.

Vor der Installation habe ich MikTex und LYX komplett deinstalliert.

Vielen Dank im Voraus,


Mit freundlichen Grüße

Re: Problem: version control suddenly no longer works in LyX 2.2 and 2.3rc1

[Dr Eberhard Lisse]

As I wrote,

for collaboration RCS is not good enough and I would also not use it.

Whether to use GIT or SVN, I defer to the experts and if GIT is
supported out of the box, so be it :-)-O

But, for my own use on the Mac with Time Machine and Unison (to
synchronize my machines at home and work) RCS is all I need.
