Riki,

Until I have a working Slackware64-15.0 host I rely on my -14.2 host.
LyX-2.3.6.1 has worked since it came out. Today it has no issues building
files other than the one, which built without problems a couple of months
ago before today's mods. (And I added those mods to two other files today
and they built with no issues.)


It is possible to anonymize the file. Open the minibuffer and type
"buffer-anonymize". Maybe first save it under a different filename! Does
it still crash?


mwe.lyx (anonymized file) attached. So it the error message box. 
Clicking on

the OK button kills LyX and removes all open tabs.

I've no idea where to start looking for why adding a bunch of text in 
this

file causes a crash.


With all the missing images and such, I can't actually compile it. But 
it doesn't crash in 2.4.0-RC1 when I try to do so, so that's a plus.

Numbering of sections control

2024-01-17 Thread Rich Shepard

When I try to change which paragraph environments can be numbered (and
entered in the ToC) by moving the circle I cannot change their posision
along the line. They can be moved to only the extremes: none or all.

What might cause this with 2.3.6.1?

Compiling causes LyX to crash

Using lyx-2.3.6.1 I've worked today on four documents, saving and compiling
them with pdflatex. No problems, as usual.

Modifying a fifth document I notice that a sub-section is not numbered and
while I can save it pressing ctrl-h to build it with pdflatex causes a
message box to appear saying I've hit a bug. The message contains:

It also works for me, but the speed is very unstable, as shown in the
attached screenshot. So, I want to clone through my local socks5 proxy
running on 127.0.0.1:1, but don't know how to achieve this goal.

Speed should be matter of initial clone only. Once you have it locally,
fetching updates are reasonably small even for connection speeds like 10kb/s...

What we could perhaps do on our part is to clone master branch, compress
it into single file and put on the http://ftp.lyx.org/pub/lyx/devel/
with short readme explaining the situation.
We have currently two chinese mirrors, so there is a good chance for you to get
the initial clone very fast and then continue by fetching from original source
(US, Oregon).

@Riki: we used to have something like this on the ftp in the svn-git times.
ATM it should be enough just to do clean clone, take only .git directory,
tar.xz(*) it, create signature and upload to ftp.
I can create some explanation on our web...

Yes, I was thinking something like that, too. Even if it were only
updated once a year, it'd still make a huge difference.

I tried cloning the repo on GitLab (with the idea of instituting
automatic updates), but it did not work. I'm guessing it might have
timed out.

Why not just move the Git repository to Github, GitLab, and other free
git-based code hosting platforms?


The main reason has to do with our bug server, and the way it's 
integrated with git. But we also don't want to depend upon an external 
organization that way. We've been burned before when some such 
organization decides to change its policies, and what once was free no 
longer is.

I'm not sure how many people here have tried that kind of thing.

Now that you have the repo, updating from the official git repo should 
be pretty fast. You can change your local copy to point to that instead, 
if you wish.

I can't be of much help here. Just FYI we are in the middle of slow
transition to a new git server, so you update process might need

BTW, I've tried to search as follows on GitHub:

https://github.com/search?q=lyx+mirror=repositories=updated=desc

And found the following mirror:

https://github.com/unimiso/lyx_mirror

This mirror was updated last month, and the git clone speed is quite
satisfactory:

werner@X10DAi:~$ git clone https://github.com/unimiso/lyx_mirror.git

Then I update the local git repo to the lastest commit as follows:
