Dear LyX users and developers,
LyX has a problem with Windows users that have their home directory
on a UNC path. http://wiki.lyx.org/LyX/Troubleshooting mentions these
problems for Lyx 1.5 already. (Recent versions do start, but have no
classes available.)
I have been struggling with this for a long time. The workaround
described in the link (saving some steps by running configure.py
directly from the AppData\Lyx2.0 folder) worked for me on Windows XP.
Now, on Windows 7, it does not work anymore. Today, I have done some
experiments but unfortunately not found a solution yet.
What I have found out is that
- Under local users, LyX states "~\AppData\Roaming\Lyx2.0"
as the user directory. I have not seen the tilde on Windows before,
but it works.
- Under network users, it states
"\\server\user\ntdata\Anwendungsdaten\LyX2.0<file:///\\server\user\ntdata\Anwendungsdaten\LyX2.0>"
as the user directory.
- Running reconfigure from LyX as the network user gives
some messages in the status line that can be traced back to the fact
that cmd.exe does not accept UNC folders.
Is there any way to reliably make LyX run as a user with a UNC home
directory? Could it help to just give LyX a different user directory
to work in? If so, how can that be done?
Please, see the "-userdir" command-line option.
