Re: LyX/Mac question
The dvipdfm works on my iBook, but I don't think I could tell you why. I used fink, but not for LyX. I really like LyX, but it was too hard to get the formatting requirements for my thesis implemented so I found another program TeXmacs that I am using for my thesis. This was my process: 1) Install fink 2) Install TeXmacs via fink (which automatically installs various programs needed, including tetex/ghostscript/imagemagick/etc) 3) Download and install LyX from the main LyX ftp site Everything seemed to work after that, except for viewing dvi (but this really doesn't bother me, I use pdf). I'd be happy to answer any question, but I'm definitely not a computer guru. Bob On Oct 30, 2006, at 3:50 PM, Sue Kientz wrote: On Oct 30, 2006, at 1:41 PM, Paul A.

Is there something installation-wise that could get 'latex' to actually run latex (as in producing DVI output without additional tweaking)? Hi Paul, I don't think that the sym- or hardlink to pdftex is the culprit here. In most modern TeX implementations the engine is pdftex, anyway. If you have MikTeX 2.5 try latex --version and see that you are really using pdfetex. The engine looks at the name it was invoked and produces output accordingly. So, symlinking latex to pdftex but invoking it as latex gives you dvi output. Instead, make sure that the command used by LyX to invoke latex is really latex and not pdflatex. Yes - in fact, you can invoke latex - dvi conversion of a file file.tex by typing, e.g., pdflatex -progname=latex file pdfetex -progname=latex file If it's not the preamble that's causing the problem, one might want to add that option -progname=latex to the script (this will only work if there's nothing in the preamble that overrides this progname choice). I think this once worked for someone when I suggested it on the MacTex mailing list... although it really should be handled automatically, as Enrico said. So before doing that, maybe one other suggestion: see (with ls - al) if there are any texmf configuration files in your home directory (.texmf-config etc) and move them out of the way. Finally, you could also specify pdflatex -output-format=dvi to get dvi output. This is not quite equivalent (because it may load different font files) to the -progname option, but it works for me, too. Jens Thanks to both Enrico and Jens for the replies. Jens, I noticed in a bugzilla posting that you have LyX running under OS/X with teTeX installed via fink (same setup as Andrea, the original poster here). Does instant preview work for you and, if so, did you have to tweak anything? AFAIK when LyX exports a math inset to 0lyxpreview.tex for conversion, it does not pass along preamble entries from the original document. This can cause an occasional problem (for instance, when you are loading a funky character set in the doc's preamble), but it does not cause problems with routine math insets under Windows (and I'm guessing the same holds for Linux). So modifying the document preamble is unlikely to resolve the preview problem. If preview works for you, then I need to focus on how your configuration differs from Andrea's. If IP doesn't work for you, then we should probably enter a bug report. Thanks, Paul Instant preview also works for me, on an old iBook with LyX 1.4.3, with tetex installed via fink. I don't totally understand what the problem is here, I'm just thinking out loud and letting you know what is working or not on my machine to see if this answers any questions. Like I said before, dvi viewing isn't working for me under LyX. Although I think the reason is that there is no standard dvi viewer under OS X (like there is for Windows with Yap and Linux with xdvik (although X11 is very integrated in linux)). So, via fink, I have xdvi installed.but this is an X11 program and I have LyX installed under Qt which I didn't think that those two systems could necessary communicate with one another (but I really have no idea because I don't understand how they work, I just use them). Here's something I can do. I can export a document from LyX as a dvi, open xdvi under X11, and then open the dvi. Everything works. I don't know if this helps anything. Let me know if I can do something else to help out or help figure out how to get dvi viewing working under LyX on macs. Because it is definitely faster than pdf viewing on Windows and Linux (and since this is a five year old iBook, pdf viewing can take a long time). Bob Lounsbury

I tried changing auto to open (it's not in Tools Preferences on the Mac, but rather Lyx Preferences). I get a cannot convert file error, An error occurred whilst running dvipdfmx -p letter - o 'foo.pdf' (my document is foo..lyx). How do I define a default dvi viewer in Lyx? Or is that something I define via the os? Sue Kientz [EMAIL PROTECTED] If you look, through the lists on this topic you should find an answer. However, from what Bennett posted if you put: open -a X11.app; export DISPLAY=:0.0; xdvi into the LyX Preferences and you have xdvi installed, it is supposed to work. It works for Bennett but not for me (probably due to some other program conflict, that I really don't care to resolve). The problem is that there is no default dvi viewer for mac. So if you have xdvi installed you have to call out X11. The default dvi viewers are shareware that cost $20 or I've heard of one free one TeXshop that is supposed to work if you install it and put open into the preferences. Bob Lounsbury

I, personnally, use LyX to generate LaTeX templates for pre- formatted reports on RF devices, where all the electrical parameters are tabulated and plotted in a beautiful report with great headers and footers, which also include the company graphic. I use LyX to get the format I want, then embed the TeX into my code, process it through LaTeX, and voila, a PDF. I can't even contemplate using the alternative (Word ActiveX, give me a break!). LyX has also served as the greatest resource in learning TeX, I do what I want in LyX, and examine the TeX output. Thanks, guys, ...Dan Ditto, to that!! I'm using LyX to write my thesis, and the thought of using the alternatives gives me nightmares. After a short learning curve of the program I am up and running and will save countless hours of not having to worry about the formatting of my thesis, and in the end I will have a professional looking document. Thank you all very much!!! Bob Lounsbury

How do I suppress date from body of document class letter?
That is the one that appears in the output just below the from
address.
the page style is set to fancy, I'm using:
\rhead{\today}
which is showing up on page one due to the ERT:
\thispagestyle{fancy}
which I want to keep because I'm also using:
\cfoot{( Page \thepage{} of \pageref{LastPage} )}
Which I want on ALL printed pages. But to have today's date appear in
both places on page one looks kinda redundant. sigh
Alternatively if there is a way to suppress the header from page one
while keeping the footer, that would be just about as good...
Also for THIS document I happen to be pleased with the underline that
appears below the entire header. But it isn't always desirable. So
I'd like to know how to get rid of it???

appendix package
Hello,
Has anyone used the appendix package so that the table of contents
looks like ...
'Appendix A Title'
instead of ...
'A Title'?
I've tried all kinds of different ways reading through the appendix
package documentation with no success. There is an option 'titletoc'
for the appendices environment listed in the documentation that is
supposed to do exactly what I would like, but I must not be using it
correctly.
What I did was start a new document, standard 'book' class. Inserted
a toc, chapter, start appendix here command, then an appendix
chapter. I then inserted '\usepackage[titletoc]{appendix}' into the
preamble. Didn't work. I also tried the standard 'article' class and
various other commands listed in the appendix package documentation
to no avail.
Thanks,

texlive math problems
Hello, Are there any known issues with math characters and texlive? Under texlive and LyX 1.4.3 I opened a couple of chapters of my thesis and some math characters were displayed incorrectly. For instance, rho was displayed as 'ae' not a squirly 'p'. Because of this I uninstalled texlive and installed tetex. Now everything is displayed correctly. So I'm assuming there is a package that needs to be installed under texlive, but I'm not sure what it would be since no errors were detected under LyX the characters were just displayed incorrectly in LyX and corresponding pdf's. I tried eliminating everything in my preamble and setting everything to default and it still appeared. Then I tried with new documents and everything would be fine for awhile and then all of a sudden the characters would not be correct. I just couldn't pick up on any consistent behavior, it was very erratic. So I gave up and installed tetex. I don't really expect a resolution since I've already uninstalled texlive and tetex seems to work perfectly fine for me. I just wanted to see if anyone knew of any issues under ubuntu-edgy and LyX 1.4.3 with texlive. Thanks, Bob Lounsbury

Path prefix empty
Hi, I just compiled 1.5.0beta on Ubuntu (first time I've compiled anything from source -- very cool). However, my path prefix box was empty and so I had no output to pdf. So, I put /usr/bin:/usr/local/bin in the path and setup pdflatex $$i extra flag 'latex' and setup the viewer as evince for pdflatex. Now that is working again. So, my question is: Is there anything else I should put into the path prefix? and is there something I can put into the viewer so that it just opens the default pdf viewer (I tried 'open' and 'auto')?

See the documentation here:

Putting this into the preamble will change the figure numbering if you want
table numbering also, then you probably just insert table where you see
figure.

RE: [SOLVED] appendix package not working?
Hello,
I'm trying to use the appendix package to change the default labeling from:
A Section
to
Appendix A Section
but I can't get anything to work. I don't get any error in compilation or
anything it's just that nothing ever changes from my input. I've attached a
very simple example that should be working according to the appendix package
documentation.
I'm using the default Article class under LyX1.5.0beta1.
Does anyone have experience with this package or is there another way to
accomplish this or am I just not using the package correctly?
Thanks,
Bob Lounsbury
Ops, I forgot the attachment.
Ok, after more experimentation with the package I discovered that you need
to create an appendices environment then all of the package options are
correctly used. So, directly after the 'start appendix here' command you
need to insert ERT\begin{appendices} and after all of your appendix material
an ERT\end{appendices} just like an environment.
I've attached a minimal example that changes the appendix style from:
A Title
to
Appendix A Title
in both the document and the toc.
I think it would be nice to post this info on the wiki (although I've never
personally posted anything), since this is the second time I've asked this
question and not received a response. Or is this just not very important to
the majority of people (hence no need to post to the wiki)? I don't know. I
just think it is good info, since the documentation isn't necessary clear
about the use of the 'appendices environment' and someone very new to
LyX/LaTeX may not even know how to use an environment definition. Since the
majority of packages don't need this type of definition to use the
\usepackage[options]{package} command in the preamble.

I know that lyx is much slower on windows than on linux but I thought with OS X beeing close to linux it would be as fast as with linux... regards robert There seem to be two issues you're describing. One is the hang when opening a large document. Since that occurred only once (as you describe it), it's hard to know what the cause is. (I regularly open a 240-page document [without any figures] on my macbook, and it takes 2 seconds.) Part of the issue may stem from your having LyX display the graphics; doing this requires that LyX convert the graphics one- by-one to a format it is able to display, and this may take a while. The other issue -- taking a long time view a pdf of your document -- is not an issue with LyX but rather with LaTeX: LyX hands off typesetting tasks to LaTeX, which then runs in the background. My 240- page document takes about 23 seconds to typeset (and that's with bibliography and index). Documents with graphics will naturally take longer, as the graphics may need to be converted into a proper format to produce the pdf. From what I can tell, typesetting in LaTeX on Mac is generally speedy. There are some issues with speed on Mac, but these have to do with screen redraws when typing or navigating. Most of these have been overcome, and you shouldn't notice them with a macbook. (I do notice them on a 466 MHz iBook, but even then I wouldn't say it's a real problem.) Bennett Bennett, You bring up a point I was planning to ask. I have also noticed a slowness of screen redraws when typing or navigating on my 600Mhz iBook that was not noticeable with LyX 1.3.7 but is noticeable with LyX 1.4.4. Specifically when typing within figure floats and equations. My question is: Is there a way to speed this up? i.e., turning off instant preview, etc. or is it finally getting time to upgrade the old iBook. Thanks, Bob Lounsbury

It is the result of significant changes in how LyX 1.4.x works as opposed to 1.3.x. The problem is worse when typing in insets -- boxes of text that can be opened or closed, like ERT boxes, footnotes, LyX notes, etc. Is there anything that can be done? ... Not really. Smaller window sizes may help, but that's not a tradeoff I'm willing to make. You might try out the beta of LyX-1.5 and let us know how performance of that compares and whether it's acceptable.

Then follow the instructions on the lyx webpage, which are straightforward: svn co svn://svn.lyx.org/lyx/lyx-devel/trunk lyx-devel cd lyx-devel Once you've got the sources, you'll need to run ./autogen.sh, then configure (with the same options you used for beta1), and make. To update the sources, simply cd to the lyx-devel directory and enter: svn up You can then recompile (usually -- but not always -- skipping configure and going straight to make). Bennett Well, after hours and hours and hours of compiling it seems I've come to the same result as Bennett. When compiling LyX1.5.0svn I get an error saying qt 4 library not found !.

At least it did for me after trying QT4.3 (except for one time that I managed to mess everything up so badly I had to trash my LyX source folder and reinstall from svn...) In addition, after trying, I have found 4.3beta, 4.3 snapshot and 4.4 snapshot not to work. IIRC the beta gave the same problem that you are reporting, whereas the snapshots simply won't compile. The latter two I hope will be fixed by Trolltech (although I haven't had time to file a bug report. Has anyone done that). The former could perhaps be related to how LyX searches for the QT-installation (i.e. the search criterion). But I don't know where in the set-up files this identification is done. Does anyone have any ideas? Anyway, if you are in urgent need of a 1.5-version of LyX, I compiled the beta 2 and posted it at http://www.charmec.chalmers.se/temp/LyX_15b2_PPC.zip If it is not that urgent, I would suggest that you wait for Bennett's posting of the official beta. /Anders I recompiled both Qt4.3.0snapshot and Qt4.2.3 and the only difference was rather than using sudo make install¹ I just entered make install¹. Now I have LyX1.5.0beta2 compiled under Qt4.2.3, but I got the same error message when trying Qt4.3.0snapshot qt 4 library not found¹.

Re: Couple of questions about writing reports
I'm not sure about how insert a graphic in the title page, although I'm
pretty sure it has been discussed in the past. You may want to search the
mail archive to see if anything pops up on the topic.
To rename the Bibliography. Insert in ERT:
\renewcommand\bibname{References}
Just put that command somewhere at the start of your document. The
koma-script documentation covers this also, so if you don't have it now
would be a good time to track it down. :-)

Subject: Re: Couple of questions about writing reports
Siterer Karol Dudzinski [EMAIL PROTECTED]:
Hi,
Im using the report class to write a report and I have a few
questions:
I think you would do better changing to report(koma script) where the
things you are trying to do are easier and well explained (search for
scrguien.pdf).
I think it the easiest way to get your margins as you like them are to
set them manually in LyX, however, you might read up in the koma script
guide for a more thorough explanation.
koma script has more environments for the title page than the plain
report class and you should be able to find a way to get both a logo
and some more lines of text there. In the worst case insert a hard line
shift(s) (CTRL+enter).
You could either use a latex command like:
\addcontentsline{toc}{chapter}{References}
in ERT or if you use bibtex check the box add bibliography to toc in
the BibTeX bibiography view.

Now it's just the LyX- configuration left... /Anders So, yesterday I booted into Ubuntu (I have a dual-boot) because I wanted to update LyX there also. There was a distribution upgrade so I upgraded then compiled 1.5.0svn/beta2 (not sure which it is if downloaded from svn). By default it used Qt4.2.3 and now I have the LyX slowness under Linux. This leads me to believe that the issues are directly due to Qt4.2.3. I'm thinking of compiling an earlier version of Qt to see if the slowness goes away since we can't get LyX to compile with Qt4.3.

Description of Problem:
Whenever I try to modify a mathematical expression
inside \left{\right}, \left[\right] or \left(\right),
like deleting a superscript I had previously added,
the mathematical expression collapses into garbage.
Steps to reproduce the problem:
1.Write \left( A \right) inside a display equation
2. Add a subscript _a to the expression, as \left( A \right)_{a}
3. Delete the subscript.
Actual Results:
The subscript is deleted, but the parenthesis aren't drawn. If the equation
contains many characters after the subscript, they all collapse into
something not readable.
Cannot confirm here. Works for me on LyX1.5.0beta2 mac.

Are you sure that these are \sections? You perhaps have there

\let\myChapter\chapter
\renewcommand{\chapter}{\suppressfloats[t]\myChapter}

Yes, they are sections using the article class.
In the preamble I'm also using the sectsty package, which was defined
after the \let\mySection command. Putting the sectsty package commands

Using the koma-script book class, here is a very crude example of
changing the font of different chapter and sectional headings. Although
I don't know how to get Palatino font. Maybe someone else knows? For
more information check out the koma-script documentation page 50,
although it lists only \rmfamily, \sffamily, and \ttfamily as possible
font choices. Hopefully someone else can fill in the gaps.
