Irregularity with CambridgeUS theme in Beamer

[Sam Lewis]

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 thank!

'noframenumbering' option for beamer

[Sam Lewis]

  Show original message 

Hi,

The following latex code creates a frame in beamer that does not count towards 
the total pager number.


\begin{frame}[noframenumbering]
\titlepage
\end{frame}


What would be a good way to achieve this in LyX? Alternatively, is there an 
easy way to suppress the total pager number in the theme of my choice, 
e.g.'CambridgeUS'?


Many thanks!

Cheers, Sam

 `\renewcommand*{\chapterpagestyle}{scrheadings}`

 Once you start the appendix, you have some trouble, as you are
 hard-coding the word *chapter*. You can use `\chapapp` instead.



Many thanks for pointing me in the right direction. I fixed it like this.


\documentclass[chapterprefix=on]{scrbook}



\usepackage[automark]{scrlayer-scrpage}
\pagestyle{scrheadings}
\ihead{\headmark}
\ohead[\pagemark]{\pagemark}
\chead{}

\chapter{...}
\begin{refsection}
...
\printbibliography[heading=subbibliography,title={Further

\printbibliography[heading=subbibliography,title={Bibliography},category=cited]

Now works like a charm!

Again many thanks.

LaTex question: KOMA-script headers and chapter bibliography

[Sam Lewis]

I create running headers in a Koma-script book with the following. This gives 
me a page number and the chapter heading on each page, except on the first page 
of each chapter as desired.

\usepackage[automark]{scrlayer-scrpage}
\pagestyle{scrheadings}
\ihead{Chapter \headmark}
\ohead[\pagemark]{\pagemark}
\chead{}
\cfoot[]{}


In this book, I have a bibliography and a further reading section at the end of 
each chapter via this code in the preamble 


\defbibheading{subbibliography}[\bibname]{%
\section*{#1}%
\markboth{#1}{#1}}

and this ERT at the end of each chapter.


\printbibliography[heading=subbibintoc,title={Further 
Reading},notcategory=cited]
\printbibliography[heading=subbibintoc,category=cited]
\end{refsection}
\begin{refsection}


Everything works fine, except that the header on the last page of each chapter 
is called Further Reading instead of the name of the chapter. 


How to fix this?

LuaTex and biblatex: LyX insert reference irregularity

[Sam Lewis]

I generate a pdf via LuaTex with a reference entry that contains two authors. 
The output is produced as expected without any problems.

However, the inserted citation for the two authors reference entry, results 
in an intext citation in LyX of *Author et al.* despite that the citation does 
not have three or more authors. Please see attachments for reproducing.

Hanging paragraphs and \printbibliography

[Sam Lewis]

I have the \usepackage{hanging} in my document's preamble and successfully
compile with XeTeX. I create hanging paragraphs by using this ERT:

\begin{hangparas}{1em}{1}

However I would like to have hanging paragraphs in my reference section
which is a biblatex output from \printbibliography.

How do I sensibly integrate the \printbibliography and {hangparas} commands?

RCS user name

[Sam Lewis]

Dear all,

I am using RCS for all my LyX documents to control version changes.

I usually synchronize my data to any other Linux computer at a different 
office. However, when working on a different machine from where the initial 
document was registered I am unable to check in the document changes, because I 
log onto each system with different a username.


Is there a way around this? Does someone know how to configure RCS, because the 
username in LyX identity settings does not seem to affect this issues.

Many thanks!

I have added \newfontfamily\Thai{Norasi} to the preamble and use the ERT
\Thai\emph{a Thai word} in the LyX document. I got an error with the suggested
\newfontfamily{\TH}[Scale=1.2]{Norasi} But that's not a problem. A little bit of
ERT is fine.

I was wondering whether it is also possible to generate OpenDocument outputs
with XeTex, like pdflatex can do. I only got xhtml now, but that seems limited
as I believe there is no way to import this into libreoffice.

Many thanks!

I have an article (Koma-script) LyX document that is written in British English
and produces PDFs at its default encoding via Texlive.

This document shall contain in addition to the main text in English some Thai
words in Thai font. What would be the best setting to produce PDFs and
OpenDocuments outputs for this document?

Many thanks!

Cheers, Sam

Re: Using LyX to edit organise bibliographies

 It may be nice, perhaps, for LyX to provide an 'Edit BibTeX refs'
 button that would allow to easily launch your preferred reference
 manager on your ref library.

Beamer, usebackgroundtemplate, and background colour for ratio-maintained images

[Sam Lewis]

Hi,

I successfully create beamer presentations that contain individual slides that
have full-screen (background) images, with the following latex code:

{\usebackgroundtemplate {\includegraphics[bb=0bp 0bp 1024bp
666bp,width=1\paperwidth]{image}}
\begin{frame}[plain]~\end{frame} }


However, when using a ratio-maintained image that incidentally does not have the
same aspect as the slide size, I get a white strip for the uncovered part of the
slide. Adding \setbeamercolor to the preamble or to specific frames leaves the
frame that contains the \usebackgroundtemplate command unaffected.

How can one control the colour of the *remaining* background for a frame that
uses the \usebackgroundtemplate command?

Many thanks!

Cheers, Sam

Erratic cursor position in relation to displayed lines of text

[Sam Lewis]

Hi,


Just to check whether this apparent bug has been reported for LyX 2.0.

I have experienced several times erratic changes in the position of the cursor 
in relation to the displayed lines of text. At some point when the cursor is 
positioned in the lower parts of the displayed lines of text, a sudden scroll 
occurs and the displayed lines of text changes by moving the line 
of current cursor position into the place of the firsted displayed line 
of text on screen.

Cheers, Sam

Most suitable image format

[Sam Lewis]

Hello,

I have a lyx document in which I would like to insert a high-quality 
colour photography of me. The output document will be pdf.

The photo is currently in RAW format (NEF) and I would like to find out what 
will the most suitable image format for converting the raw format into. I 
presume it will be some lossless format. 

Any suggestions? Many thanks!

Cheers, Sam

Re: Most suitable image format

Thanks for your quick reply. 

I intent to both print it and distribute it online. I guess two versions of the 
document might be useful.  What lossy format, would you recommend for the 
latter?

 It actually depends on how you intend to use the resulting document. If you 
 will 
 be printing the resulting PDF on a professional press, then you will want to 
 use 
 a lossless format (most likely tiff), or a high quality jpeg.  
 
 If the PDF is to be put on your website, you will probably want to use a 
 lossy 
 format of some type. It will give a better quality to file size ratio, even 
 though it will introduce some artifacts into the image.  But unless your 
 readers 
 will be viewing the image at very high resolution (onscreen), they are not 
 going 
 to notice.
 
 Hope that's of some help.

 packagers of LyX on various platforms and distributions read this file.
 
 As with any major release, this one comes with lot of new features but 
 also some bugs. If you think you have found a bug in LyX 2.0.0, either email

Re: A basic requested feature

 IMO, we need to improve the functionality of
 LyX, and not block good ideas.

Of course everybody is welcome to make suggestions and put forward ideas on 
functionality. But it does not mean that everything gets implemented; it needs 
to be realistic and accepted by the community of users and developers.

Re: Dissertation Finished! Thank you LyXers!

Excellent! 

  I also have a number of tips/tricks I accumulated along the way. If

Re: lmodern?

[Sam Lewis]

 LyX already departs from LaTeX defaults by changing the font encoding
 from OT1 to T1. (See the line
   \usepackage[T1]{inputenc}

Is this not absurd for a default setting: I.e. T1 and CM? If the majority of 
users supposedly not primarily write in English, should it not be T1 + LM? If 
however most write in English should it not be OT1 + LM? Why bother with CM? Or 
am I missing something? Perhaps a survey might shed light on the situation.

Re: Friends, Fellows, Comrades!

[Sam Lewis]

 What I mean is when you go to 'Insert  Note  Comment' for example, you 
 get a comment icon on the page. It is called 'Comment' but I would like 
 to change that to say 'May Ideas' 'Important Page Numbers' or whatever.

Don't think so. You have to use Label that you place before the note. But 
this 
will not show up in the outliner.

biblatex: elatex and texlive

[Sam Lewis]

Dear All,

This is slightly off-topic.

I have successfully used biblatex with LyX for a long time. Today after 
changing my TexLive DVD installation from 2009 to 2010, I am not able to 
compile documents anymore that use the biblatex package. I now get a fatal 
error message that elatex is not found.

Does anyone know about changes in TexLive 2010 and how this relates to 
biblatex? Any suggestions?

Many thanks!

Cheers, Sam

Hyperlink: No action defined!?

[Sam Lewis]

Hi,

What is the purpose of right clicking on a hyperlink *inside* LyX?

Reproduce: [Insert]  [Hyperlink]; add a link; right click on inserted hyperlink
icon and the following pop up message appears: No action defined!

What can I define where? Can I open this link from *within* LyX? That would be
perfect. 

Anybody any idea? Many thanks!

Cheers, Sam

  icon and the following pop up message appears: No action defined!
  What can I define where?
 Absent your modifying the source code, I suspect you cannot define any 
 actions.

I see, this is just some kind of place holder in the source. Why not use this
for opening the defined link? Might be useful to improve the
writing-reading-writing flow.

Cheers, Sam

Re: texlive2008 Debian + any linux distro

[Sam Lewis]

 How could I install texlive2008 under debian?
 I have the TeX Collection DVD of September 2008
 but would not like to mess things up 


TexLive 2008 has now also an online installer.
http://tug.org/texlive/acquire.html

Best to uninstall the TeX packages that comes with your current Linux
distribution and follow the above instruction if you don't have a DVD. You need
to check how in your Linux distribution LyX is coupled in terms of its
requirements for TeX packages.

For Debian users, LyX does not require any TeX packages. If your distro does,
obviously, leave thoses packages which are necessary for LyX installed.

Using the TexLive 2008 Package Manager is very easy and should be considered a
serious advantage in terms of convince, updating and recovery of a complex
production system that should be independent from the distribution's package
manager that controls your operating system.

Re: 1.6.0-RC4: Layout menue for Section, Subsection or how to use mini-buffer

[Sam Lewis]

rgheck [EMAIL PROTECTED] writes:

  The layout menu for these three commands seems not to work in 1.6.0-RC4. I
  presume this bug has been filed. If not let me know and I file it.
 

 No, there's no known bug for that. What platform, etc, are you on?

GNU/Linux, Debian. I'll go ahead and make an entry.


Any idea about using the mini-buffer to get around this? Or is this not a
function of the mini-buffer for structuring the layout?

 So what happens when you try to use the layout combo? Just nothing? If 
 you run from a terminal, do you get any messages? Try lyx -dbg all,

lyx 1.6.x on debian

[Sam Lewis]

Hi,

It's great to to have the 1.6.0~beta4-1 package in experimental, with matching
dependencies of testing. Thank you kindly, maintainer Sven Hoexter, for your
effort!

Does anyone know whether, RC5 is a candidate for experimental? Or how close is
1.6.0 to make it into any Debian stream?

This might reduce the duplication of old bugs this:
