This is a known issue with biblatex/lyx. Since you are giving the path to
the bib files in the preamble and lyx copies everything over to a temp dir
before compilation, there is no way it can unpack relative locations for
bib files.

Notice that the same problem would happen with regular bibtex if you were
to enter a relative path to the  bib file (i.e. in the LaTeX \bibliography
command) as ERT. If you rely on Lyx, instead (i.e. using the
InsertList/TOC/bibtex Bibliography lyx command),  Lyx always converts the
path to the bib file to an absolute one in the latex output (you can take a
look at ViewSource to verify this).

The solution will come with a fuller integration of biblatex into lyx,
which is hopefully not very far off.

Cheers,

Stefano

Thanks, that really clears things up! I was wondering why I was able to do
relative paths until I started using biblatex. Fuller integration of
biblatex and lyx will be very welcome when it happens.

Lyx biblatex biber jabref Mac OSX lion trouble

[Aleksey Orekhov]

Hello,

   I've been trying to use biblatex in LYX with the Jabref interface for
   citations on Mac OSX Lion. I have followed all of the instructions I've been
   able to find online, and have gotten it to the point where, if I export plain
   latex from LYX and compile that, run biber, then recompile, I have exactly
   what I want.

For whatever reason, I can't achieve this through the lyx interface. The lyx log
indicates that lyx IS running biber, and I looked inside of the temporary folder
lyx is using and found that a .bcf file is created.

In fact, copying my .bib file into the temporary directory and running biber
there enables lyx to produce the correct output, but this is tedious to do each
time.

Even better, all I need for a relatively permanent fix is to copy my .bib file
into the LYX temporary directory:

/private/var/folders/s3/477kfcjd2zq_0mxfxpcrbznrgn/T/lyx_tmpdir.L14372/
/lyx_tmpbuf2

Once that is done, lyx can produce the correct output with no further
intervention. Is there any way I can get lyx to do this for me, or tell it to
properly point biber towards the file?

I am running biber v0.9.9 and lyx 2.0.6

Here is a snippet from the lyx log file that deals with biber.

Yes, please.

I think, the problem is in GuiPainter.cpp line 356 etc.

line.setNumColumns(1);
line.setPosition(QPointF(0, -line.ascent()));
adsymbol.endLayout();
line.draw(this, QPointF(x, y));
return textwidth;
}

It happens \Omega is 0x00ad - so it's special. But it looks like this special 
code does not work.

 If I type \Omega in the math editor I get a bold w.
 It is probably a font misconfiguration but I cannot figure out what to do.



Which LyX versions are you using? If the problem is still there can
you file a bug report please on www.lyx.org/trac?

Yes, please.

I think, the problem is in GuiPainter.cpp line 356 etc.

==
// Qt4 does not display a glyph whose codepoint is the
// same as that of a soft-hyphen (0x00ad), unless it
// occurs at a line-break. As a kludge, we force Qt to
// render this glyph using a one-column line.
if (s.size() == 1  str[0].unicode() == 0x00ad) {
setQPainterPen(computeColor(f.realColor()));
QTextLayout adsymbol(str);
adsymbol.setFont(ff);
adsymbol.beginLayout();
QTextLine line = adsymbol.createLine();
line.setNumColumns(1);
line.setPosition(QPointF(0, -line.ascent()));
adsymbol.endLayout();
line.draw(this, QPointF(x, y));
return textwidth;
}
==

It happens \Omega is 0x00ad - so it's special. But it looks like this special 
code does not work.

 Stephan, 
 When you make the 2.0.5.1 release could you PLEASE PLEASE ensure that the

 Hi Mark,
 
 the problem with the template directory access is the dynamic nature of the 
 location.
 The system templates are located inside the application bundle and one may 
 have more then one bundle on a computer.
 So it would be correct to have a button in the Open from template dialog to 
 navigate to the location inside the bundle.
 
 The workaround is as follows:
 1. Use the Finder to go to Applications
 2. Locate the LyX program bundle (LyX.app)
 3. Click on it with right mouse button (Open the package content)
 4. Navigate into Contents and then into Resources
 5. Drag the templates folder to the left sidebar between two items of your 
 choice
 
 Now you have an item named templates there. This item is also a member of the 
 Open from template dialog.
 Unfortunately I couldn't find any application program interface to make that 
 link automatically from the LyX application.
 
 I hope this helps.
 
 Best regards,
 Stephan

Hi Mark,

the problem with the template directory access is the dynamic nature of the 
location.
The system templates are located inside the application bundle and one may have 
more then one bundle on a computer.
So it would be correct to have a button in the Open from template dialog to 
navigate to the location inside the bundle.

The workaround is as follows:
1. Use the Finder to go to Applications
2. Locate the LyX program bundle (LyX.app)
3. Click on it with right mouse button (Open the package content)
4. Navigate into Contents and then into Resources
5. Drag the templates folder to the left sidebar between two items of your 
choice

Now you have an item named templates there. This item is also a member of the 
Open from template dialog.
Unfortunately I couldn't find any application program interface to make that 
link automatically from the LyX application.

I hope this helps.

Best regards,
Stephan

Now you have an item named templates there. This item is also a member of the 
"Open from template" dialog.
Unfortunately I couldn't find any application program interface to make that

I hope this helps.

Re: Using Mac Lion Dictate

[Anna Maria Obertacke]

Hi Uwe,

I work with Lyx 2.05 and focussed the lyx window.

In November I worked with 2.03 and another Mac Feature was lost after the 
update:
When you klick on Help in the menu bar (or press Cmd-Shift-7) there was a 
text field before. 
I used it to navigate by keybord. 
Now it is gone and I miss it very much.

I downgraded to 2.04:
- Help text box is there again
- Dictation works
Luckily my thesis works with 2.04 too.

In the changelogs I found nothing concerning these features. 
Are the two things (failed dictation and missing help textfield) bugs?

Thanks,

Anna

Hi Uwe,

I work with Lyx 2.05 and focussed the lyx window.

In November I worked with 2.03 and another Mac Feature was lost after the 
update:
When you klick on Help in the menu bar (or press Cmd-Shift-7) there was a 
text field before. 
I used it to navigate by keybord. 
Now it is gone and I miss it very much.

I downgraded to 2.04:
- Help text box is there again
- Dictation works
Luckily my thesis works with 2.04 too.

In the changelogs I found nothing concerning these features. 
Are the two things (failed dictation and missing help textfield) bugs?

Thanks,

Anna

I am running LyX under Mac OS X 10.7.5.  In the math edit mode the mathematical 
symbols are not displayed correctly. For example instead of an integral I get 
an accented o.
I tried  running LyX debug mode (-dbg mathed) and in the log I found lines of

I tried to reinstall LyX but I had the same behavior.

Hi Pedro,

why do you want to compile LyX yourself in /Applications/lyx-2.0.4?

1. You should consider to use the ready to run package from www.lyx.org

2. If you want LyX compile yourself you should work in your home dir

3. This is working for me (with Mac OS X 10.6):
- Download Qt4 (I did it with 4.7.4 when this was current)
  I'm using the 32bit developer version for Leopard (10.5).
  The tools are installed here: /Developer/Tools/Qt
  The Headers are here: /Developer/SDKs/MacOSX10.5.sdk/Library/Frameworks
  If you've grabbed another version you have to look for the correct values.
- Checkout the LyX sources (the source tree is in my home dir)
  Run autogen.sh there.
- Create a build directory to separate source and build results.
- Prepare the environment
 export QT4_CORE_CFLAGS=-FQtCore
 export QT4_CORE_LIBS=-framework QtCore
 export QT4_FRONTEND_CFLAGS=-FQtGui
 export QT4_FRONTEND_LIBS=-framework QtGui
 export PKG_CONFIG=
 export LDFLAGS=-isysroot /Developer/SDKs/MacOSX10.5.sdk -arch i386

 export PATH=/Developer/Tools/Qt:$PATH
- Run configure and make

Hi Pedro,

LyX has been much harder to compile ever since they switched from
xforms to qt4. 

Stephan Witt had a good idea -- if you can install LyX from a package,
and if it works, and if it's the right version for you, install from a
package. If not, here are some suggestions for taming the LyX vs qt4
beast:

* A lot of times you need to install a whole bunch of non-obvious
  components of qt4. Use your package manager to install anything
  remotely connected to qt4. Remember what you installed, so you can
  remove the unnecessary ones once you get LyX working.

* Be aware of some unexpected behavior: When you blow a compile, you
  need to delete your whole compile tree and restore it from the
  original tarball. Otherwise, sometimes, ghosts of failures past can
  sabotage what otherwise would be a successful compile.

Hi Pedro,

how do you call configure? Did you read INSTALL.MacOSX?

Please try the following:

CPPFLAGS=-I/Library/Frameworks/QtCore.framework/Headers 
-I/Library/Frameworks/QtGui.framework/Headers configure

Just in case the Qt headers are there... or change it accordingly.

A big problem appears even in OS X 10.7 when you use it on a 2012 Macbook Pro 
with retina display. The antialiasing makes the text look blurry because the 
application can't run in native high resolution. The latest version of the Qt 
framework supposedly allows high res, but I don't know yet how to compile LyX 
with that feature. Retina displays look stunning when high res works, but look 
downright broken with applications that don't support it.

Lyx 2.0.1 not working on Lion

[Mark]

Hi,

After upgrading to Lion I checked that my Lyx installation worked - 
no problem. Now when I try to run it,
 it fails with the PowerPC applications not supported error from 
Lion. I'm not sure what changed - don't
 remember checking Lyx 2.0.1 was ok when I downloaded it or 
maybe it was a Mac OS upgrade.

I did searching on the web and here to see if anyone else had this 
problem and found:

It sounds to me like they are not using the unpack-and-run 
version. This problem has been around for a
couple of years for OS X users who have not installed the Rosetta 
emulator that runs PPC code. Now that
PPC emulation is no longer included in Lion, users who have 
upgraded will only be able to use unpack-
and-run version, unless the development team upgrades the 
software they have been using to bundle up
the application for installation on a Mac.

in a forum regarding Elan on Mac OS Lion:
 (http://www.lat-mpi.eu/tools/elan/elanforum/
post201107264935516415)

perhaps this is relevant.

Can anyone help me get Lyx working again?

I don't know exactly what unpack-and-run-version of ELAN refers to
but I don't think LyX has anything comparable. It's just an application
ready to run on both intel and powerpc processors. I cannot tell how this
can fail on Lion. Especially since it did work on Lion already as you said.
I'm not sure what you did to check your LyX installation.

Do you have the LyX-2.0.0 disk image to check if it runs?

I downloaded a new copy of Lyx 2.0.1 and tried that - same result.
Then I downloaded Lyx 2.0.0 again and tried that - same result.
I downloaded the latest MacTex. TexShop works fine but Lyx 2.0.0 and
 2.0.1 always fail immediately with the PowerPC error.

Now I have checked Lyx properties (command I in the Mac finder) and
the Finder thinks it is a Universal application. For comparison, Mail.app is
an Intel application according to the Finder.

The Finder is right - it's a Universal application (Intel i386 and PowerPC)

I'd guess that's Intel x86-64bit.

I didn't hear until now that Lion is unable to execute 32-bit applications...

the error message is:

Re: Lyx 2.0.1 not working on Lion

[James Sutherland]

FWIW, I have been running LyX 2.0.1 on Lion for a month or more now without
problems.

Perhaps it is something else in your software stack causing the problem
(e.g. your LaTeX installation)?

I am using MacPorts for my LaTeX distribution, so I cannot comment on MacTex
compatibility, but this indicates that it should work:
  http://roaringapps.com/app:1049

Is it crashing on LyX launch or when you compile a document?

The lyx application one can download from the LyX home page is not a PowerPC

Did you get it from there?

 
 And I checked through some other applications and I do have Universal
 applications that run successfully so that's not it.

A Universal application may contain 32bit and 64bit Intel binaries only. 
Nevertheless it's called Universal because of the multiple architectures.

Now I've tried LyX-2.0.1 to start on Mac OS X 10.6.8 (Snow Leopard) running a 
64 bit kernel.
I have no problem to use it. It is running in 32bit Intel mode. I don't have 
Lion to check it.

What's the output of the following command?

% file /Applications/LyX.app/Contents/MacOS/lyx

I get this:

% file /Applications/LyX.app/Contents/MacOS/lyx
/Applications/LyX.app/Contents/MacOS/lyx: Mach-O universal binary with 2

Haven't Apple removed Rosetta Stone from OS X with the release of
Lion. All applications are now supposed to be Intel-native. The LyX
installed on my Snow Leopard system produces this output from file

so there's still PPC code bound into the image.

Yes, and that's intentional. Do you have any pointer where Apple announces
it will deny the start of an Intel based application when bundled with a 
ppc based when Rosetta is dropped?
I'd rate this as a ridiculous decision or a bug. Furthermore, it works on
other Lion systems.

The web search lead me to this page:

I don't know if this option still exists in Lion, but try

select LyX.app icon in Finder

make sure Open using Rosetta is unchecked

Good find, a step forward! I moved Lyx to the Desktop and it works fine.
I deleted all the ~/Library... preferences and application support. It still
worked. I moved it back to Applications folder and it fails again (same
error). So now Lyx is on my Desktop and working.

I checked all the folders in Applications and couldn't find any that Lion
has marked with its grey cross to indicate a PowerPC application.

I suspect that the discussion Stephan pointed to contains the explanation
there may be a file within the folder that is associated with PPC
but don't know where to look next.

Do you have the LyX-2.0.0 disk image to check if it runs?

I downloaded a new copy of Lyx 2.0.1 and tried that - same result.
Then I downloaded Lyx 2.0.0 again and tried that - same result.
I downloaded the latest MacTex. TexShop works fine but Lyx 2.0.0 and
 2.0.1 always fail immediately with the PowerPC error.

Now I have checked Lyx properties (command I in the Mac finder) and
the Finder thinks it is a Universal application. For comparison, Mail.app is
an Intel application according to the Finder.

FWIW, I have been running LyX 2.0.1 on Lion for a month or more now without

Perhaps it is something else in your software stack causing the problem
(e.g. your LaTeX installation)?

I am using MacPorts for my LaTeX distribution, so I cannot comment on MacTex

Is it crashing on LyX launch or when you compile a document?

The lyx application one can download from the LyX home page is not a PowerPC

Did you get it from there?

A Universal application may contain 32bit and 64bit Intel binaries only. 
Nevertheless it's called Universal because of the multiple architectures.

Now I've tried LyX-2.0.1 to start on Mac OS X 10.6.8 (Snow Leopard) running a 
64 bit kernel.
I have no problem to use it. It is running in 32bit Intel mode. I don't have 
Lion to check it.

What's the output of the following command?

% file /Applications/LyX.app/Contents/MacOS/lyx

I get this:

% file /Applications/LyX.app/Contents/MacOS/lyx

Haven't Apple removed Rosetta Stone from OS X with the release of

Yes, and that's intentional. Do you have any pointer where Apple announces
it will deny the start of an Intel based application when bundled with a 
ppc based when Rosetta is dropped?
I'd rate this as a ridiculous decision or a bug. Furthermore, it works on
other Lion systems.

I don't know if this option still exists in Lion, but try

select LyX.app icon in Finder

make sure Open using Rosetta is unchecked

Good find, a step forward! I moved Lyx to the Desktop and it works fine.
I deleted all the ~/Library... preferences and application support. It still
worked. I moved it back to Applications folder and it fails again (same
error). So now Lyx is on my Desktop and working.

I checked all the folders in Applications and couldn't find any that Lion
has marked with its grey cross to indicate a PowerPC application.

I suspect that the discussion Stephan pointed to contains the explanation
there may be a file within the folder that is associated with PPC
but don't know where to look next.

I don't know exactly what "unpack-and-run"-version of ELAN refers to
but I don't think LyX has anything comparable. It's just an application
ready to run on both intel and powerpc processors. I cannot tell how this
can fail on Lion. Especially since it did work on Lion already as you said.
I'm not sure what you did to check your LyX installation.

Do you have the LyX-2.0.0 disk image to check if it runs?

A Universal application may contain 32bit and 64bit Intel binaries only. 
Nevertheless it's called Universal because of the multiple architectures.

Now I've tried LyX-2.0.1 to start on Mac OS X 10.6.8 (Snow Leopard) running a 
64 bit kernel.
I have no problem to use it. It is running in 32bit Intel mode. I don't have 
Lion to check it.

What's the output of the following command?

% file /Applications/LyX.app/Contents/MacOS/lyx

I get this:

% file /Applications/LyX.app/Contents/MacOS/lyx
/Applications/LyX.app/Contents/MacOS/lyx: Mach-O universal binary with 2 
architectures
/Applications/LyX.app/Contents/MacOS/lyx (for architecture ppc7400):Mach-O
