subject:"Install problem"

 You can take for example the Embedded Objects manual from the help menu as 
 starting point for your
 own book. It uses the document class koma-script (book).

Thanks a lot!

Again: Using Help/Embedded Objects I get an error box

   Lyx: The document class is not available

elaborating that scrbook.layout is not available. 

I managed to produce a simple example, though, and found with
document/settings that lots of classes are not available, among them
KOMA contrary to what the user guide states. I reset the document
class to book and set several other options like language. This way, I
managed to produce a PDF file.

Next, I experienced two more problems,

1) I get type 3 fonts in my PDF document, which means that they are
bitmaps giving an ugly expression. They should be type 1 fonts.

2) I can't manage to place a picture on a page and let the text float
around the picture. This is extremely easy with Word, but doesn't seem
to be a problem in scientific publications, so I doubted if there is a
solution. In http://latex.tugraz.at/fortgeschrittene.php#grafiken I
found

\usepackage{floatflt}
   
   \begin{floatingfigure}[r]{0.4\textwidth}
 \centering
  \includegraphics[width=0.35\textwidth]{./bild.eps}
  \caption{Das ist mein Bild}
  \label{fig:mein-bild}
   \end{floatingfigure}

or

  \usepackage{picins}

   ...

   \piccaption{Graz bei Nacht\label{graz-bei-nacht}}
   \parpic[r]{\includegraphics[width=0.4\textwidth]{./graznacht.eps}}

I guess there is no other way than hand coding, right?

The last time you wrote that this works now, so I don't understand what happened. Do you have the 
file scrbook.layout in LyX's layout directory (C:\Programme\LyX 1.5.1\Resources\layouts)?
If yes, could you please log in as admin, and open an internet connection. Now start LyX by double 
clicking on the lyx.exe, and reconfigure LyX. LyX will be opened with a console window where you can 
see what LaTeX-packages are installed while the reconfiguration is run. What do you see there for 
the document class scrbook? If there is a no behind the entry, you have either not set to 
install missing packages on the fly in MiKTeX's settings (this is normally set by default by the 
LyXWinInstaller), or you have a problem with your firewall; allow the latex.exe and pdflatex.exe to 
connect to the internet.

No.

That is very strange, this file MUST be there after you have installed LyX.
It cannot be that this file is deleted.
Ehm, You know that you must install LyX as administrator?

You need to clean up your system!, (having two MikTeX installations causes often troubles and LyX
1.5.0 was replaced immediately by LyX 1.5.1 due to a serious bug, so that this should not be used):

- Uninstall LyX 1.5.1,
- uninstall LyX 1.5.0,
- uninstall MikTeX 2.7 _completely_ (note that MikTeX 2.7 is a beta and not for
daily usage!),
- uninstall MiKTeX 2.6.
(You need admin priviledges of course).
- Restart your PC,
- now reinstall LyX 1.5.1 using the complete version of the LyXWinInstaller (with an open internet
connection!).

Then it should work.

First time install problem

2007-09-11 Thread Dr. Werner Popken

Hi all,

I am new to LyX, but fairly experienced with other programs. In
particular, I understand the basic concepts.

I installed from LyX-1.5.1-1-Installer-Bundle.exe on WinXP -
everything ran as smoothly as can be. Congratulations!

Next I took the offer to open LyX. The first message I saw was
a message box

LyX: Die Dokumentklasse ist nicht verfügbar

Die für dieses Dokument erforderliche Layoutdatei scrartcl.layout
ist nicht verwendbar. Dies liegt wahrscheinlich daran, daß eine
benötigte LaTeX-Klasse oder Style-Datei nicht verfügbar ist. Bitte
lesen Sie das Hilfe-Dokument 'Anpassung' für weitere Informationen.
LyX wird keine Ausgabe erzeugen können.
OK

Ok, I went on to the recommended Anpassung only to get another
similar warning. Next I spent and hour and a half working through help
texts and Google findings to fix this, to no avail. So I decided to
join the mailing list.

The problem is not only to fix these problems, but to avoid them in
the first place. Why do you refer to things which are missing?

BTW, I plan to publish books with and without illustrations previously
published as articles online. I managed to produce a book as PDF
automatically for publication on lulu.com using PHP and pfdf, but
typografics and hyphenation wasn't optimal. So I looked at Scribus and
managed to produce a nice flyer, but found that this most probably
isn't the way to go for books. Automatic publication from database
contents should be possible with Scribus as well, but they only
support Python, and I'd rather not install and learn another script
language.

You need to install the LaTeX-package koma-skript to use this layout.

To install all LaTeX-packages needed by LyX,
- set in MiKTeX's settings the option Install missing packages on the fly to 
yes
- open an internet connection
- reconfigure LyX (menu Tools - reconfigure)

Then it will take a while until all packages are installed in the background (up to several minutes, 
depending on you internet speed). LyX will inform when the reconfiguration is ready.


When you install LyX using this installer:
http://wiki.lyx.org/Windows/LyXWinInstaller
this will automatically be done while LyX is installed, so that you start with 
a full featured LyX.


BTW, I plan to publish books with and without illustrations previously

You can embed PDF-files in LyX as file or as images.

You can take for example the Embedded Objects manual from the help menu as starting point for your

\ifpdf % if pdflatex is used

 % link all cross references and URLs in pdf output
 \usepackage[colorlinks=true, bookmarks, bookmarksnumbered,

 pdftitle={Your title},pdfsubject={your subject},
 pdfkeywords={LyX}]{hyperref}

\else % if dvi or ps is produced

 \usepackage[ps2pdf]{hyperref}

\fi

% redefine the \LyX macro for PDF bookmarks

First time install problem

2007-09-11 Thread Dr. Werner Popken

Hi all,

I am new to LyX, but fairly experienced with other programs. In
particular, I understand the basic concepts.

I installed from LyX-1.5.1-1-Installer-Bundle.exe on WinXP -
everything ran as smoothly as can be. Congratulations!

Next I took the offer to open LyX. The first message I saw was
a message box

LyX: Die Dokumentklasse ist nicht verfügbar

Die für dieses Dokument erforderliche Layoutdatei scrartcl.layout
ist nicht verwendbar. Dies liegt wahrscheinlich daran, daß eine
benötigte LaTeX-Klasse oder Style-Datei nicht verfügbar ist. Bitte
lesen Sie das Hilfe-Dokument 'Anpassung' für weitere Informationen.
LyX wird keine Ausgabe erzeugen können.
OK

Ok, I went on to the recommended "Anpassung" only to get another
similar warning. Next I spent and hour and a half working through help
texts and Google findings to fix this, to no avail. So I decided to
join the mailing list.

The problem is not only to fix these problems, but to avoid them in
the first place. Why do you refer to things which are missing?

BTW, I plan to publish books with and without illustrations previously
published as articles online. I managed to produce a book as PDF
automatically for publication on lulu.com using PHP and pfdf, but
typografics and hyphenation wasn't optimal. So I looked at Scribus and
managed to produce a nice flyer, but found that this most probably
isn't the way to go for books. Automatic publication from database
contents should be possible with Scribus as well, but they only
support Python, and I'd rather not install and learn another script
language.

You need to install the LaTeX-package "koma-skript" to use this layout.

To install all LaTeX-packages needed by LyX,
- set in MiKTeX's settings the option "Install missing packages on the fly to 
yes"
- open an internet connection
- reconfigure LyX (menu Tools -> reconfigure)

Then it will take a while until all packages are installed in the background (up to several minutes, 
depending on you internet speed). LyX will inform when the reconfiguration is ready.


When you install LyX using this installer:
http://wiki.lyx.org/Windows/LyXWinInstaller
this will automatically be done while LyX is installed, so that you start with 
a full featured LyX.


BTW, I plan to publish books with and without illustrations previously
published as articles online.


You can embed PDF-files in LyX as file or as images.

Thanks a lot, installation worked like a breeze :-)


Good to hear that it worked.


But nevertheless I am stuck :-( There are lots of templates, but none
for books, as far as I can see.


You can take for example the Embedded Objects manual from the help menu as starting point for your 
own book. It uses the document class "koma-script (book)".
(The EmbeddedObjects manual uses a lot stuff in the document preamble, you can shorten it to this 
for your book:




\usepackage{ifpdf} % part of the hyperref bundle
\ifpdf % if pdflatex is used

 Learned helplessness
 Lack of motivation and failure to act after
 exposure
 to unpleasant events or stimuli over which the
 individual has no control (e.g., noise,
 crowding)[1]. 

 Individuals learn that they cannot control their
 environment and this may lead them to fail to make
 use
 of control options that are available. For example,
 animals exposed to inescapable electric shocks may
 later fail to escape these shocks when escape is
 possible

 profs

   The scrbook problem seems to have cured itself

   reconfiguration even before I updated
 everything

   run a latex configuration it is there.
  Self-curing problems are the best kind.

Just that hyperref is not the problem.  The note about hyperref is not 
an error message, it's a generic warning.  Everybody sees that every 
time they open the user guide.


Going back to your original post, it appears that the problem is that 
LyX can't find the scrbook class, so it's substituting some other class 
(article, I think) which creates problems because it lacks features from 
scrbook that the user guide uses.  So it's back to MikTeX's Package 
Manager, but this time check for 'koma-script' (you didn't expect this 
to be anything obvious, did you?).  If, as I suspect, it's lacking, 
install that, then reconfigure and restart LyX, and see if that helps.

Newbie windows install problem class scrbook is unknown

2007-01-17 Thread yanni papastavrou



Hi,


I just downloaded and installed lyx for windows:


ftp://ftp.lyx.org/pub/lyx/bin/1.4.3/lyx-143-5.exe


 


Prior to this, I had no earlier latex related software
installed. I selected all the default answers during the installation.  I 
installed on my windows XP latest and
greatest.


 


After the fresh installation, when I run Lyx, I selected
help-tutorial and was able to view the dvi for this without difficulty.


 


I then tried help-user’s guide and I get the error:


 


“Using the default document class, because the class scrbook
is unknown”


I then get a window full of multiple “Unknown layout” error
messages, each one referring to a particular layout.  The title of this window 
is “LyX: Parse errors”


And also, at the top of the User’s guide, there is a big
yellow message saying:


“To export this document as pdf, ps or dvi, the
LaTeX-package hyperref has to be installed. 
This package should be part of all popular LaTeX-distributions”


 


Any help would be greatly received.  I have tried many things so far, including
running: tools-reconfigure


 


But, I am confused as to why I am doing this, since during
the installation, I should surely have got all the correct dependencies that
are required? – Especially since I followed accepted all defaults…


 


Any help greatly received for a LyX newbie.  It looks like a great piece of 
kit. I am
just miffed that it won’t work “out of the box” when using default settings.  


TIA,

 Hi,

 “Using the default document class, because the class scrbook
 is unknown”

Install the koma-script package. Your miktex installation should have a 
package handler, find this and search for koma and install it. After that 
reconfigure LyX and you should be set. 

 And also, at the top of the User’s guide, there is a big
 yellow message saying:

 “To export this document as pdf, ps or dvi, the
 LaTeX-package hyperref has to be installed.
 This package should be part of all popular LaTeX-distributions”

Just ignore this, miktex should have hyperref installled, if not LyX will give 
you a error-message that it does not find hyperref.

Hi, 

1. Open the MiKTeX Settings
2. Choose Package installation: Install missing packages on-the-fly: Yes
3. Then, reconfigure LyX

If this does not work, try 
1. Open MiKTeX  Settings

Newbie windows install problem class scrbook is unknown

2007-01-17 Thread yanni papastavrou



Hi,


I just downloaded and installed lyx for windows:


ftp://ftp.lyx.org/pub/lyx/bin/1.4.3/lyx-143-5.exe


 


Prior to this, I had no earlier latex related software
installed. I selected all the default answers during the installation.  I 
installed on my windows XP latest and
greatest.


 


After the fresh installation, when I run Lyx, I selected
help-tutorial and was able to view the dvi for this without difficulty.


 


I then tried help-user’s guide and I get the error:


 


“Using the default document class, because the class scrbook
is unknown”


I then get a window full of multiple “Unknown layout” error
messages, each one referring to a particular layout.  The title of this window 
is “LyX: Parse errors”


And also, at the top of the User’s guide, there is a big
yellow message saying:


“To export this document as pdf, ps or dvi, the
LaTeX-package hyperref has to be installed. 
This package should be part of all popular LaTeX-distributions”


 


Any help would be greatly received.  I have tried many things so far, including
running: tools-reconfigure


 


But, I am confused as to why I am doing this, since during
the installation, I should surely have got all the correct dependencies that
are required? – Especially since I followed accepted all defaults…


 


Any help greatly received for a LyX newbie.  It looks like a great piece of 
kit. I am
just miffed that it won’t work “out of the box” when using default settings.  


TIA,


Yanni.
