Thanks again and thanks for the extra information.  Sorry to take so long to reply but I'm on a cycle tour and only the rain has driven me into a library to check mail.

I had noticed that bug report before, and I tried my luck on Linux by
installing 2.0.1, but it did not help. I will try it on Windows,
although it does appear to me as if the only problem in Windows is
that of scrolling with the scrollbar. Nothing else is a problem there.

LyX SEGSEGV crash just after GUI window appears

Craig — 2012-05-21T17:23:01

I just installed LyX 2.0.3 on a Gentoo system and the application is crashing as soon as the window opens.  I get a dialog box with the SIGSEGV message and then it dies.  The strange part is that I can run LyX successfully if I run it as root.  Idon't know if this a LyX bug or a Gentoo packaging issue, so I would appreciate any suggestions from the LyX experts about how to diagnose the problem.  LyX info and the backtrace are posted below.  If you think it is a Gentoo packaging issue, please tell me as much as you can so that I can post a good bug report.

Hi,

That looks a lot like what I'm seeing since 2.0.2.

www.lyx.org/trac/ticket/8135

Could you try LyX 2.0.1 on Windows and see if you smooth scrolling by 
dragging the scrollbar is working with it ?

Thanks,

Olivier

Managing acknowledgements and disclosures?

Chris Hennick — 2012-05-22T02:31:19

Tonight I decided that when I was citing books or reprints that had been
given to me, I should probably add an acknowledgement, like so:

The authors wish to thank donors for the following reference materials: [#]
from Jane Doe, [#] from John Doe, and [#, #] from anonymous sources.


However, I'll have to manually edit this acknowledgement if I drop one of
those sources, or if I receive and cite another reprint. It also occurs to
me that I'd have the same issue if I were buying source materials with
grant money, since then the citations would determine which grant numbers
went on which papers. (At least, that's how I understand funding
disclosure, although as a grad student I'm new to the subject.)

Is it possible in LyX to automatically manage acknowledgements and grant
disclosures, when some of them are tied to particular citations?

Sincerely,

Re: Change math Language - critical

Guenter Milde — 2012-05-21T21:05:14


This depends.

If you have formulas that you use in both, English (or German) and
Spanish documents (vie file inclusion or drag and drop) and want the
"localized" function names in Spanish, it makes sense to re-define \sin
to be rendered as "sen" in the Spanish document.

If you only write in Spanish, it is a matter of personal taste whether to
write \sin or \sen in the source.

You can re-define \sin in the preamble:

  \renewcommand{\sin}{\sen}

With LyX, you can use math-macros to define Spanish function names that
render as sen (etc) in LyX also without instant preview.

Re: Change math Language - critical

Julio Rojas — 2012-05-21T07:58:23

Well Ignacio, If I create an Spanish document, and use "\sin x", Lyx
(on screen) renders it as "sin x". If I use "\sen x", Lyx will render
it (again, on screen) as "\sen x". What I would like is that by using
localization (Spanish), Lyx recognizes that "\sin x" should be
rendered as "sen x". The thing is that I don't know if this a
desirable behavior.

Again, should LaTeX do it automatically? Meaning, in the PDF.

In the Start menu, find the MiKTeX group and look for the package manager

not already installed).

Thought I'd responded, but apparently not. Yes, I fear it's either Read The Fine
Manual or get friendly with Google (or a combination of the two). Fortunately,
documentation for most LaTeX packages is mercifully brief (at least, if you skip
the implementation details and just look at the how to use it stuff), and comes
with the packages.

Re: Windows7 64bit Lyx Install

Braam Daniels — 2012-05-20T16:00:22

Hi, thanks for getting back to me.

As far as I know MikTex installed correctly when I use the 2.0.2 Installer.
If i use the 2.0.3 installer I cant get all the MikTeX document classes and
styles. Every time I try to this fix
http://wiki.lyx.org/LyX/Troubleshooting#TextClassList it hangs on checking
for dvilautex.

So now im using LyX 2.0.2 and I don't have the document class problem but
the python issue persists. Every time I open LyX a pop up comes on saying
that "python.exe has stopped working" and my only options are to find a
solution or to close python and use LyX without it, which isn't much use
really.

I have attached the error pop up.

Re: Scrolling Slowness [Re: keyboard Scrolling Anomaly]

Rashif Ray Rahman — 2012-05-20T09:14:45

So, I finally managed to track down a peculiarity.

On Windows (7), there is no scrolling issue with the keyboard, or the
mouse scroll wheel (or touchpad vertical scroll). However, there is
lag if I use the scroll bar (by dragging with the mouse).

On Linux, if I start LyX using a desktop file, I cannot seem to scroll
at all (keyboard). This is the initial problem I was reporting, where
the cursor appears to be "stuck" and won't move at all, and sometimes
it may move a character or two after holding a direction for some
time.

If I start it from the commandline, however, scrolling works, albeit
in a crippled way. If for example I'm highlighting with SHIFT, it
slows to a crawl. This is not exhibited in Windows. Scrolling with
mouse wheel works good as in Windows, and scrolling with the scroll
bar is laggy as well.

So the common behaviour is scrolling with mouse wheel (OK) and
scrolling with scroll bar (slow). Linux-specific issue is no keyboard
scrolling when starting outside of commandline, and slow respon

That's comforting to know, especially if it's not going to take that
much time to compile the whole document with figures and all that.

FWIW, it's certainly possible and convenient to have a single lyx document
with hundreds of pages and many chapters.  I've written several books of
500-1000 pages, and appreciate the simplicity of only dealing with a single
file, and being able to navigate around without having to load new files.
I've never seen any slowness that bothered me.  Your mileage may vary.

Windows7 64bit Lyx Install

Braam Daniels — 2012-05-19T15:23:10

Hi Guys

I'm am struggling to get LyX and Python Running. Im a little new to LyX or at
least i haven't used it in over 4 years.

So I started the process with the LyX 2.0.3 bundle. LyX installed but none of
the document classes could be found. In addition python.exe stops working
whenever I start LyX.

After checking the forums I couldn't get fix any of the above problems. I then
tried using LyX 2.0.2 and that at least could get LyX installed with all the
document classes but the python.exe error persists, closing whenever I start LyX.

Any thoughts?

Re: Child documents, integration and citation

Ray Rashif — 2012-05-19T13:59:04

Thanks guys.

Yes, that's correct, I know I can view the master document and that's
what I've been doing. Even though I knew it was inherent due to how
LyX works I perceived it as a bug, simply because I expected the child
to inherit most other stuff (since it can already work with the bib
database while editing).

For now I don't see much of a problem but I don't know how I'm going
to deal with it once I'm in the range of hundreds of pages and a
number of chapters. The last two workarounds mentioned should get me
going, but I think the third option is the best approach since I'd
want the child to inherit everything. A couple pages worth of
abstracts and references shouldn't add that much of a compile time.

Sorry, I do not understand... What do you mean?
LyX doesn't show the function name "sen" in the math toolbar button,
but otherwise, if the document language is Spanish you can use the latex
command "\sen" right away, and then spanish-babel-latex makes the thing
automatically: in the LyX window the "sen" is shown (if Instant Previw is
on)
and also in PDF output

Re: Change math Language - critical

Julio Rojas — 2012-05-19T07:45:31

What a bummer...

One question. Shouldn't it be better that Lyx recognizes localization
and instead of using "\sin" uses "\sen"? Is it even possible or
desirably?

The really good question is why, oh why, LaTeX doesn't do it
automatically so Lyx has to do it only on-screen.

The function 'sen' is predefined in the latex package babel-spanish,

Third option:

Always compile from the master document, but include only the child
document you want to compile. That will bring in the frontmatter,
probably (depending on how you structured your master/children), but t
might do what you want. The command is in Document>>Settings
