Re: Problem with working directory

Richard Heck — 2012-05-25T18:53:27

Is there a reason not to keep the figures in the same directory as the 
LyX file? or in a subdirectory of it? Then you can use relative 
pathnames, which should work.

Problem with working directory

Hobbs,Tom — 2012-05-25T16:37:41

Hello--

When I set the working directory to a location where I keep .pdf files for figures, LyX cannot find them.  If I set the path explicitly, then all is well.  However, this creates problems when I want to share the document with other who must revise all pathnames.  Setting the working directory used to work as a way to group files that a document needs, but mysteriously, it has stopped working.  I would be very grateful for suggestions on how to fix this.  I am using LyX 2.0, but I tried 2.03 and it has the same problem.

Many thanks.

Tom

lyx crashes in Windows 7 64b

Timothy Poate — 2012-05-25T16:30:07

Hey,

I have been trying to download lyx and keep having problems. The main issue is that lyx opens but has no functionality- If I click on the new document button I get the pink writing area at the top which I can write in with no problem, however all other buttons/menus do not work. Most are in colour so not greyed out, but I cannot do anything with them?

Anyone else had this? I have uninstalled, re-installed, several times, set as use for 1 user, set for all users, I have MikTex installed as necessary.

If anyone has an idea of how I can provide more info to help diagnose please explain.

Cheers
Tim

Hm - I have separate bib files for each bibliography (Books, Peer Reviewed Paper, ...) and
selected under Content "all references". I don't think you can filter them as you are asking for.

There is a section about CV in the LyX wiki - check it out. Also about the usage of multibib.

If this doesn't help, I could mail you my CV as an example on how to do it.

Cheers,

Rainer.

However, if you want \sen to look like \sin in the LyX math box (without
instant preview), a "dummy" math-macro (i.e. in a comment, note or branch)
is your friend.

Re: Change math Language - critical

Ignacio García — 2012-05-24T06:46:52


Well, that's right, BUT _if the document language is Spanish_ none of that is
needed, since babel-spanish does it automatically for you.
You writes simply "\sen" (or "senh", "\tg"...) inside the ecuation. That's all
you have to do. (The set of math predefined functions in Spanish is available in
the Spanish version of the manual "Math", sec. 15.1) 
Thanks for your input

Re: LyX SEGSEGV crash just after GUI window appears

Pavel Sanda — 2012-05-23T22:53:15

one of these, perhaps. 


xetex use flag only pull texlive dependencies, it makes no difference as far as lyx compilation is concerned.
so i dont think this was the issue.

I was able to download the tarball, build it in /opt and run LyX 2.0.3 successfully.  Clearly this is a Gentoo packaging issue of some kind.  I then went back and tried some other things and now LyX runs correctly!  I performed the following steps, which may not make much sense to you unless you're a Gentoo user:

    * Re-emerged lyx (tried this yesterday).  Still crashed. 
    * Updated world 
    * Re-emerged qt-core and qt-gui.  Still crashed. 
    * Logged out and logged back in 
    * Messed with xetex and luatex USE flags.  Previously, hadapp-office/lyx xetex -luatex in package.use.  Removed xetex flag. 
    * Re-emerged lyx.  Now it runs!
    *Re-enabled xetex USE flag and re-compiled LyX, 
although I had to put the xetex flag in make.conf in order for LyX to 
recognize it.  LyX still runs! 


Now, does it run because I had to re-emerge qt 
and then re-emerge lyx?  Did I need to log out to unload the old copies 
of QT from memory?  I thought I had isolated th

Just untick the "use hyperref" box in Document>Settings>PDF-...

Multibib possible in Lyx?

Vivek Sharma — 2012-05-23T20:45:56

I am writing my CV and would
 like to do the following:
1. add bibliography under 
different sections:
 Books, Peer reviewed papers published,
 Submitted, Conference 
presentations.   
2. I have in my bibtex file the
 necessary entries with keyword as 
'BOOKS', 'Peer reviewed publications' etc.
3. I would like all entries with key
word "BOOKS" under section BOOKS 
printed in chronological order 
with most recent 
first. and all entries 
with keyword "XXXX" printed in 
chronological order with 
most recent first under section "XXXX"
 and so on. I know some people have done
 
this using biblatex or multibib in latex.
 I wonder if anyone has done it in Lyx 
and if so be willing to share how this 
was done.

Prevent LyX loading hyperref by putting:
     Provides hyperrer 1
into Local Layout. Then load it yourself.

Re: Change math Language - critical

Rudi Gaelzer — 2012-05-23T20:49:36

Ignacio, the best solution is to define a math macro: go to the beginning of 
your text and click on  
Insert -> Math -> Macro
An ERT box will appear, where you can (re)define your macro.  In place of 
\newmacroname type \sen.  In the TeX box type:
\mathop \mathrm{sen}\nolimits
In the LyX box simply type:
\mathrm{sen}

That's all, you'll be able to see the coveted "sen" symbol in instant preview 
and the output (dvi, eps, pdf) will also be correctly rendered.

I do that all the time with my texts in Portuguese for mathematical symbols 
such as sen, senh, sech, cosech, cotan, cosec, etc.

If you want to use the macros in other docs, save them in, say, 
Spanish-macros.lyx and then simply do Insert -> File -> Child Document... to 
input (not include) the macros in any other doc.

How to load xr-hyper before hyperref?

Rudi Gaelzer — 2012-05-23T19:41:27

I'd like to use the facilities of the xr-hyper package to
cross-reference equations (or other things) labelled in another doc
and at the same time create a pdf (using xetex) with the whole
hyper-ref stuff (using the hyperref package).

The problem is, the xr-hyper pack should be loaded on the preamble
BEFORE hyperref, otherwise errors such as "Paragraph ended before ...
was complete" can appear.

The only place I can order LyX to load xr-hyper is on the doc's local
preamble, but in this case, the package will be loaded always after
hyperref.

Is there any way I can circumvent this limitation?

Thanks.

Nico Williams — 2012-05-23T17:03:40

strace lyx running as root and not, then look to see what system calls
are failing in the latter case leading up to the segfault.  That might
give you a clue as to where else to look.

Yes.  A non-root user can run lyx with sudo and it works fine.

This is the important part.
Can you try running "lyx -dbg any" and look on the console. It will output tons of messages
but I suspect that something interesting can be found page or two before this line...
Debuging flags won't help here I guess.
