Previewers no longer work

[A L Meyers]

Good morning,

Am not a technical person.

Have used lyx without problems for years.

Suddently the document previewers (all of them, e.g. dvi, pdf) do
not work any more.  They start up and quit.  Printing still works.

Suggestions welcome.

Thanks and regards,

lux

Meanwhile have determined that cups has nothing to do with the problem.
Only the last message is relevant, as no ps file is produced.  Have
tried copying the tex.pro file from another installation into the path
but this does not help.

Hi!  lyx is set up on GNU/Linux.  Currently cannot print and consistenly

Re: Future of Win32 native port?

[A . L . Meyers]

Hi!  Planning to get our department to replace M$ Word with LyX to write
audit reports, was most pleased to see that there is a native WinDoze
version, downloaded it, installed it without a glitch and ...

DVI preview does not work.  LyX looks for some files or libraries it
cannot find.  Would much appreciate someone pointing me to docs or
giving sound advice to enable me to demonstrate LyX superiority even in
a WinDoze environment.  Frustration against M$ is growing daily due to
colleagues spending more time formatting than actually writing the audit
reports.

Thanks again, Herbert.  Please correct me if the following is wrong.
If one installs the entire TeXLive, then the current TeX packages are
overwritten?  Do you suggest this or rather just to copy the classes
to the current installation's correct directory, run texhash etc.?

Thanks for the help.  The missing classes were not in
/usr/share/texmf/tex/latex/ so I copied them from another
installation, ran mktexlsr, then configure (lyx, of course), fired
up lyx, ran reconfigure from the menu and restarted lyx.  Whew!  So
happy to be able to use the old docs again.

BTW if you don't mind a stupid question, where can one find further
classes to populate /usr/share/texmf/tex/latex/ ?  Lyx configure
stills shows some classes as not found.

Maybe, Herbert, but I think not in this case.  Reason:

1. When doing Layout, Document and clicking the class button, I see only
   article, book, letter, linuxdoc and report.

2. View, Tex Information, LaTex classes, on the contrary, shows many
   other classes including g-brief, about 50 in all.

Somehow lyx is not "seeing" the additional classes.

Unknown text class errors

Hello.  Was using the GNU/Debian/Linux package of Lyx for a long time
without any problems.  Recently, when opening old Lyx documents or
trying to make a new one using a template, I consistently get error
messages like the subject line above, "unknown text class".

As I use Lyx as a standard "production" app, this is annoying.  Any

Hello!

Not only RH is a problem for installing LyX 1.1.6.3.

"Installed" it on FreeBSD 4.3 without any error messages but LyX does
not work correctly, all sub-classes are missing.

Cannot install on Slackware 7.1 either. ./configure complains about
not finding a file called "forms.h" but it's there!  in /lib with
symlinks from /usr/lib and /usr/local/lib.

Hm, think I will go back to LyX 1.1.4. What a hassle!

Greetings,

Lucien

problems with LyX 1.1.6.2

[A. L. Meyers]

Dear fellow LyXers,

LyX is my favourite programme and a "mission critical app".

Have run into problems aftering installing LyX 1.1.6 patch 2 from source
under FreeBSD 4.3 using the ports tree. Everything compiled and
installed without complications.

The problems:

1. no sub-classes of docs, e. g. g-brief-de as sub-class of letter

2. xdvi and other viewers are all installed and LyX config found them
but they do not find the file to open, "file not found"

3. printing does not work although lpd, lpr are installed and function
with other apps

Have never had such problems before and don't know whether they are LyX-
and/or OS-related. Have checked lyxrc and do not see anything wrong in
particular.

Please help me get my (and your) favourite app fully functional under
BSD.

Greetings,

Lucien

Problems with LyX 1.6 patch 2 under FreeBSD

[A. L. Meyers]

Dear fellow LyXers,

LyX is my favourite programme so I was quite disappointed in not having
it work "right out of the box" on FreeBSD, installed from the "ports"
tree. Everything compiled and was installed without any error messages.
So I cannot figure out if the problems are LyX and/or LyX specifically
with FreeBSD.

Problems:

1. only the basic English documents classes exist, "letter, article"
etc. no non-English classes are available, although the non-English
templates exist. (sob :-(  cannot load all of my docs properly, as under
classes like "din-brief".)

2. xdvi cannot find the files to preview

3. printing does not work, although lpr (printer lp) are installed,
configured and working

Would very much appreciate a helping hand from someone who has been thru
this already. Have also posted an enquiry to the responsible for the
port at FBSD.

Greetings,

Lucien

Dear fellow LyXers,

Part of the beauty and new paradigm (WYSIWYM) of LyX is precisely that it
does not bother the user with exact type sizes etc. Just went through
reformatting a cv using LyX. In 15 minutes I had a beautifully formatted cv
using the class "article" without setting a single font size.

However, I understand that someone might want to set a specific font size.

Dear Gustaf,

The answer is yes, but use the stable versions of LyX supplied with the 
distributions or in the stable trees online. Like most things in life, 
each OS and distrib has advantages and disadvantages. We recently 
changed Linux distrib and have evaluated FreeBSD. These issues relate 
more to optimizing to your requirements, use of the hard- and software, 
supported hardware etc. Be objective and rational.

Dear fellow LyXers,

LyX has saved me so much time that I am willing to contribute EURO 100 
specifically for this project and restricted to it. However, what 
assurances have we that the funds in fact arrive where they should and 
are used for the intended purposes? Now we are not just talking about 
web security, but about financial controls.

Lieber Horst,

ich demnächst umstossen.

Die Bewegung des offenen Quellcodes ("open source") wird aber ganz 
wesentlich in Europa (auch Deutschland) getragen. Deshalb ist Dein 
Anliegen auch verständlich. Ich würde mich ruhig weiter bei "lyx-users" 
auf Deutsch melden. Wenn dereinst eine deutschsprachige Liste, dann 
bitte (aus Rücksicht auf die beiden deutschsprachigen Länder mit einem 
"Minus" bzw. einem "Plus" auf der Fahne), eben "deutschsprachig" und 
nicht "deutsch".

Freundlichen Grüsse

Lucien

Re: installation help

[A. L. Meyers]

Dear David,

Had the same problems installing Lyx 1.1.6 to Debian 2.2.

Here is the hack that led to "successful" (but not debianized) install:

download SuSe 6.4 version of xpm

as root use mc to see the .tar.gz xpm.rpm file

use mc to COPY the libraries into their destination directories, which 
you see with mc.

Now make install will work with LyX 1.1.6.

BUT it's an ugly hack in as far as the .deb version of 1.1.4 installs 
LyX to other directories.

LyX 1.1.6 did not solve my problem which I already posted.

Best regards,

Lucien

Problems with language change

[A. L. Meyers]

Dear fellow LyX-users,

Tried to send this earlier today but apparently something went wrong 
because I never received it myself.

Working in different languages, I wanted to use the templates:
g-brief-de.lyx   or
g-brief-en.lyx
as bases for an new g-brief-fr.lyx,
same format in French.
View dvi of the original templates produced no error messages.
All I did was:
Layout - Document - Language - french
Now Update dvi produces 8 or 9 errors, which I do not know how to get 
rid of.

Best regards,

Lucien

8bit iso8859-1 ispell under LyX

[A. L. Meyers]

Dear fellow LyXers,

A simple, stupid question:

how do I configure LyX so it will load ispell in 8bit iso8859-1 mode to 
spellcheck my French and German texts correctly?

Now I am getting things like:
u¨berfa¨llig

It you can tell me where to find clear instructions, fine.

Thanks and best regards,

Lucien

template conversion into French

[A. L. Meyers]

Dear fellow LyXers,

Being in a kind of polyglot country and an avid LyX user, I would like to use the
templates "letter(g-brief,german)" and/or "letter(g-brief) as the basis for letters
in French. Alas, up to now I run into the following problems:
1. I load the template and save it under a private filename.
2. Using "File - View dvi" shows no errors.
3. I change the language using Layout - Document - Language, selecting either
   french or francais.
4. Apply, OK. No other changes, nada.
5. Doing File - Update dvi shows me 8 errors, mostly undefined commands.
6. You can reproduce this.

What am I doing wrong and how can I get it right?

Thanks and best regards,

Lucien
