converter to open office

[S. Teinturier]

Dear Lyx users,

Trying to use the Lyx converter to Openoffice, no odt file is generated 
in my temp folder...

The following thread seems to deal with this

Is there something new?

Thanks for your help,

Windows / Lyx 1.5.2: Can't use the AltInstaller-Update.exe

[S. Teinturier]

Hi,
Just a problem while launching the
LyX-152-3-20-AltInstaller-Update.exe 



Appears "This update package can only update Lyx 1.5.1!"

Whereas I DO have Lyx 1.5.1.
Lyx 1.5.1 is in this folder: ~\ProgramFiles\Lyx15

Any idea about that? Sorry, it seems I'm the only one with this problem...
Anyway, I can uninstall Lyx 1.5.1 and install the new Lyx 1.5.2...

Thanks.
Sara

Win XP SP2

lyxpipe, jabref and windows with LyX 1.5.1

[S. Teinturier]

Hi everyone!

I've installed Lyx 1.5.1 and JabRef 2.3b (win XP SP1).

When I try to insert a citation from JabRef to LyX document, through the 
direct icon "LyX" in JabRef, an error message appears about LyxPipe.


Is the following message (2007-01-01, LyX 1.4.3-5 and JabRef 2.2b) still 
valid for the LyX 1.5.1???


You cannot use this feature on windows, since the pipe is implemented using

UNIX specific functions that are not available on windows.


(http://www.mail-archive.com/lyx-users@lists.lyx.org/msg52716.html)

It doesn't work either using the "c-k" function (the final dvi document 
has a "\cite{BLABLAXXX}").


So, if I want to use my biblio.bib  with LyX and JabRef (and I want to!) 
I have first to 'insert' the bibliography in the LyX repertories, and 
then using the LyX tool "Insert > Citation..." ??


Thanks for your help,

Regards,
Sara

is very easy, thanks a lot.

But when I try to launch LyX, this report error appears:

"Debug log
TextClassList::Read: no textclasses found!
Completed"


Does this workaraound help?:

Delete the files "textclass.lst" and "packages.lst" in the folder
~:\Documents and Settings\username\Application Data\LyX1.5.x and 
restart LyX."
