Help Please

[Brian Kneller via lyx-users]

Hi thanks for the responses they have been most useful. I have a few questions 
below:

 I have decided to use the Manchester Uni thesis format as its very near the 
London Uni version.  I think I am running into unnecessary difficulties because 
I am using my existing directory structure and Lyx  has a preferred in 
/Library/Application Support/Lyx-2.3.  I have not found a preferred structure 
is there one?
 I am stripping out the bits I don’t want from the Thesis Template such as  
figures , headings , labels etc all have an index of some form where should 
these be stored &  how do I ensure these are reset or can I copy the template 
into the template subdirectory , which is currently empty and then start a new 
doc from this.
 I have loaded revtex4-1 into the shared area subdir but cannot see it from the 
Doc/settings in the lyx main menu should it be there?
 I like the use of Letterine for the first char of a section, how is this 
\lettrine{I}{n}and the following invoked :--   Figure~\ref{shuffle_diagram}; 
\label{Shuffle} and where is the definitions of these –I have not found (yet) 
where this is described an indication where I could look would be helpful. I 
suspect they are under the Lyx-Code environment in the dropdown top lefthand 
side of menu – but there is no list below it.

 Sorry for these simple questions but I need to complete this soon

 

Many Thanks

 What exactly is the problem? In the IEEEtran template there is an image
 named CV-image.png as example. Simply left-click on that image and
 select an image file you like.

I am also unable to add a photo. I can't also see this CV-image.png
file. I am on Ubuntu 10.04, LyX 1.6.5

Thanks,
Sachin

You need LyX 1.6.7 to get this. If you cannot update to that version, 
replace the files IEEEtran.lyx and IEEEtran.layout in your installation 
with these ones:


http://www.lyx.org/trac/export/35491/lyx-devel/branches/BRANCH_1_6_X/lib/layouts/IEEEtran.layout

and

http://www.lyx.org/trac/export/35491/lyx-devel/branches/BRANCH_1_6_X/lib/templates/IEEEtran.lyx

and afterwards reconfigure LyX (menu Tools-Reconfigure).

 In the end of the IEEE trans template there is an option to insert the
 authors photo in the Biography section
 If we do nothing a BOX printed with PLACE YOUR PHOTO HERE  appears
  I want to remove that and insert a photos there

Yes .. in biography environment, go to menu InsertShort Title
it will create red box with label opt
Inside the opt red box, InsertGraphics and link to your photograph
Set width 1in and set height 1.25in

Good luck

Re: IEEEtran file Inserting photo help please..............

[Waluyo Adi Siswanto]

 \begin{biography}
 {Stephen Thomas, } \textit{\footnotesize B.Tech ECE, Hardware Design
 Engineer,Vinvish Technologies}.\textit{\footnotesize{} }
 \end{biography}


I am not sure what's the problem with your document, however it works
fine to me.

When I use IEEEtrans document class, the biography environment always
in the following form, and I can use InsertShort Title and include
the photograph inside the opt red box.

\begin{IEEEbiography}
...
\end{IEEEbiography}

yours look different
 \begin{biography}
 ...
 \end{biography}

The template in LyX, that I mentioned previously also ok,  under
\begin{IEEEbiography} ... \end{IEEEbiography}

I hope you can solve it soon. I am sorry if it does not help you.

I added that line to the top of my latex preamble.
I get this error trying to build a pdf:

The control sequence at the end of the top line

misspelled it (e.g., `\hobx'), type `I' and the correct

I mixed it up again (as the current date is so long it overwrites also the

\usepackage{scrpage2}
\pagestyle{scrheadings}
\clearscrheadings

\ohead[\pagemark]{\pagemark}
% suppress bottom-centered page number in chapter-opening pages
\cfoot[]{} 

Read scrguien.pdf for the details.

BTW: the following error report is missing one important piece: the top line
with the non-defined command. (In this case I guess it is \ofoot, as you
seem to have used it before loading the defining scrpage2 package.)

 I added that line to the top of my latex preamble.

 No TOFU please.


 The following code in the preamble should help:

 \usepackage{scrpage2}
 \pagestyle{scrheadings}
 \clearscrheadings
 \ohead[\pagemark]{\pagemark}
 \ihead{\headmark}

 (tested with scrbook [book (KOMA-script)]).


 So I changed my document to the one you tested this trick with, but now I
 have only one problem... the page numbering is OK everywhere, but after the
 bibliography generated by Latex, I have 2 page numbers! One on the bottom of
 the page and one on the top right corner of the page!! To numbers per page
 :(
 How could I fix this?



I just noticed another error I didn't notice before... I have 2 page numbers
on the bottom and on the top right corner of the page in every Chapter page.
I mean, in every page when there's a chapter title..

Please, help me..
cheers,

I'm not sure of what I had to do...
I added that line to the top of my latex preamble.
I get this error trying to build a pdf:

The control sequence at the end of the top line
of your error message was never \def'ed. If you have
misspelled it (e.g., `\hobx'), type `I' and the correct
spelling (e.g., `I\hbox'). Otherwise just continue,
and I'll forget about whatever was undefined.

If I put it on the bottom of the latex preable, I see no change to my doc :(

Messed up page numbers - help please

[Luca De Marini]

Hallo everyone, in my girlfriend's thesis, Lyx is making up a little
disaster.. page numbers are on the bottom of the page some times and on top
right on other pages, apparently randomly... why? It never happened to me
(I'm talking about the output pdf file of course, setted the doc to be a
book). Can anyone help please? I just need every page number to be on the
top right of the page.
Cheers,

Luca

Yes. Her teachers do not care about these things, they just think it's an
error. They want all numbers on the same place. Even all numbers on the
bottom of the pages would be ok, as long as every page has the number in the
same position..

two columns abbreviation help please

[Kamran SHAFQAT]

Hi,
I am trying to write my thesis I am having problem with putting a list 
of abbreviation in two columns properly. I am using fncychap package and 
which I think is causing the problem instead of filling the first column 
properly the entries goes in the second column and even above the 
heading. I tried to the used some of the option of multicol package but 
wasn't able to fix this. If I don’t use two columns than the situation 
is fine. The code that I have used is below and I am using koma script 
report


\begin{multicols}{2}
\printnomenclature[2mm]
\end{multicols}


I have attached the pdf file of how the output look right now

You are intensively using TeX code and your preamble is quite huge. So it seems that you are a LaTeX 
expert.
But many things you are using as TeX code can already be done directly with LyX, for example 
\clearpage and the nomenclature stuff. I cleaned it a bit up in the attached file.
Furthermore are you using a lot of LaTeX-packages that do basically the same. For example are you 
using a koma-script document class, therefore you don't need to load packages like tocbibind and 
caption. Koma-script provides all the features of these packages.


The more LaTeX-packages and TeX code you are using the problems you can get until you are not 
exactly knowing what you code. I guess that either the packages fncychap and nomenclature don't work 
well together or that one your (undocumented) preamble settins cause the problems.


Sorry that I cannot help your further, but your preamble is much to complicated to understand it 
within 10 minutes.

When you send a _small_ LyX example file,  can have a look.

You are intensively using TeX code and your preamble is quite huge. So it seems that you are a LaTeX 
expert.
But many things you are using as TeX code can already be done directly with LyX, for example 
\clearpage and the nomenclature stuff. I cleaned it a bit up in the attached file.
Furthermore are you using a lot of LaTeX-packages that do basically the same. For example are you 
using a koma-script document class, therefore you don't need to load packages like tocbibind and 
caption. Koma-script provides all the features of these packages.


The more LaTeX-packages and TeX code you are using the problems you can get until you are not 
exactly knowing what you code. I guess that either the packages fncychap and nomenclature don't work 
well together or that one your (undocumented) preamble settins cause the problems.


Sorry that I cannot help your further, but your preamble is much to complicated to understand it 
within 10 minutes.

mac png to eps help please

[Bob Lounsbury]

Hello,

Recently I upgraded hard drives and after discussion on the list that
texlive is the way to go, I decided to install texlive rather that tetex via
Fink.

However, now when I try ps2pdf I get an error that there is no converter for
png to eps, but the document compiles just fine with pdflatex.

I've installed texlive via mactex with ghostscript and imagemagick via
i-installer. I've added /usr/texbin to the lyx path and I've run texhash and
reconfigured LyX multiple times.

I'm running LyX 1.4.3 on mac 10.4.8.

What do I need to do to get this to work?

Thanks,
Bob Lounsbury

Help Please! Lyx 1.4.3 for windows Crashes after installation

[Wei Yan]

Hello All,
I have been trying to install Lyx1.4.3 (released Oct 4)  for windows for the 
last two days, unfortunately after more than five attempts (install, uninstall, 
reinstall) I still cannot launch Lyx application successfully. Here are my 
installation steps:
- downloaded lyx-143-4-bundle.exe
- followed installation instructions
- updated Miktex
- ATTEMPTED to launch Lyx for the first time
then each time I get an error message  Lyx has been closed because of an 
unexpected situation. This is most likely caused by a flaw in the software. 
When you open your documents again, you will be able to restore an emergency 
save and continue working. 
The details about the error are  WindowsError: [Error 2] The system cannot 
find the path specified: 'C\\winnt\\sy...
Lyx:Done!
LyxTextClassList::Read:unable to find textclass file `'. Exiting. 

I used to have Lyx1.3.7 installed it worked fine.

Thanks so much for your help!!!

Problems installing spell checker using installer for llyx-143-4 - Help please!

[Mike Reeks]

This is the second time. No response the first time. Surely someone has
used the lyx 143-4 installer. If not surely someone know who to contact.
Anyway as I said before I am trying to install the latest version
lyx-143-4  using the installer program and failed to download
spellchecker. The message during the installation says 'failed to
download English spell checker- would you like to try again'. Clearly
problems accessing the host from the web.  How do I install spellchecker
separately once lyx has been set up? What is the procedure? Any
suggestions as to what to do? Help please.

Could you send some further info detailing what version of Lyx you are

say if something is missing. I have tried to split the file in several
files and print each of them seperately. But without success. C-T
produces: "The operation resulted in an empty file". How all this could
happen? Where is my mistake? most probably I'm going to re-write all my
stuff in a new file, but how can I be confident that it is does not
happen again? It is first time that something similar happens to me in
LyX.

help please. What i have written seems lost!

Hello,
I am using LyX 1.1.6fix4 on Gnu?Linux Debian. I have just finished in
writing an about twenty pages document with inside about twenty .eps
pictures. I have tried to see it by C-T and C-D. I have have the
following message (more or less) file/document empty with only a part
of the first page displyed. After  several tries, I have rebooted the
machine and restarted LyX. Now the document appear with very very small
characters and the C-T shows only a portion of the first page but now
lists three pages as available on the left. C-D the same.
What can I do? 
Some help would be very appreciated.
