Lyx crashes when opening a file
Hello lyxers, I'm using lyx 1.1.6fix3b on a windows NT based computer, through cygwin. I'm currently writing my PhD and I've created a lyx-file for each chapter. Unfortunately, when the files are growing (30-40 pages), lyx hangs more and more frequently when loading one of theses files. Did someone face with this problem and what could be the solution (divide each file in smaller ones...)? I would not have to upgrade for a new version of lyx now... Best regards. -- Heaven is where the police are British, the cooks are French, the mechanics German, the lovers Italian and it's all organised by the Swiss.

Is that a matter of finding or not some PS files? I think you're right: all things work perfectly when opening this file in the directory where the belonging PS-files are (I included some PS-Files as pictures in this LyX-document). This would explain the behaviour of LyX, wouldn't it? But the thing I still don't understand is why the X server crashes and why I am logged off at the text consoles... > > Stephan> Some technical information: it's a SuSe Linux 6.2, LyX 1.1.4 > Stephan> (3rd Februay 2000; I know it's an unstable version :-).

Funny, isn't it? Note that a LyX server restart is a sign of a X server bug. LyX should not be able to do that. Do things really change if the file is somewhere else? Strange...

I'm not so familiar with these things :-). The debug info goes to standard error, so you can redirect it (with bash: "lyx -dbg 131071 2>lyx.log"). JMarc

LyX crashes when opening a file in the HOME directory
Hi, some funny things happened to me with a LyX-file that I saved in my HOME directory and tried to open in LyX. After a few seconds LyX crashes, my X-server restarted and - most funny - I was logged off at the text consoles. I also tested it with another LyX-file - same thing. Funny, isn't it? Some technical information: it's a SuSe Linux 6.2, LyX 1.1.4 (3rd Februay 2000; I know it's an unstable version :-). By the way because of some crash problems before I start LyX with a -dbg 131071 (but I have to admit I haven't find the debug file yet - or am I completly wrong when trying to find a debug-file? I'm not so familiar with these things :-). Regards, Stephan -- Stephan E. Schlierf M.A. - Product Management - PHONE: ++49 9254 960632 FAX:++49 9254 960159 CSE GmbH Germany
