Check the lyxpipe settings both in Pyliographer and LyX.
In LyX, open the preferences dialog (edit->preferences). Go to the tab Input
-> Paths, where you find an input field "lyx server pipe". "~/.lyx/lyxpipe"
should be entered there.
In Pybliographer, go to Preferences -> Base and check if "Lyxpipe" is the same
("~/.lyx/lyxpipe")
Now check if LyX has deleted the pipes after quitting (this should happen, but
does not always): check if you have files "lyxpipe.in" and "lyxpipe.out"
in your .lyx directory. If they are there, delete them.
Start Lyx
Start Pybliographer
Try again

Jürgen

prosper, minipage, space above figure
Good morning I inserted 2 minipages on a slide (based on the prosper class). The left minipage has text, the right one has a figure with text underneath. Unfortunately, there is a big gap above the figure, which I would like to reduce. I cannot use the options of floats (it doesn't seem to be possible to insert a float within minipage). What can I do? Thanks for your help Etienne Rochat

I wouldn't like having it in a submenu, since I find that annoying in other programs... (I guess I use it too frequently) One alternative could be to put it in a separate menu, if you feel the File-menu becomes to long? Or replace the 4-9 option with an option wether to have it in a submenu or not :-) My favourite, however, would be to have it in a separate history window that can be popped up with a keyboard shortcut (as for instance C-A-h does in the Opera browser). > 2.

lyx and emacs key binding
Hello dear Lyxers, I've just compiled and installed Lyx 1.2.1 on my SuSE 8.0 System (after making a link in /usr/X11R6/include/X11 like forms.h -> /usr/X11R6/include where the forms.h is located). After successfully finding where to change the key binding (not in the ~/.lyx/lyxrc file like stated in the german help file and in the lyxrc.example but in the ~/.lyx/preferences - or via the 'preferences...' menu) I changed that to emacs style. Unfortunately still with that key bindings after typing C-x-f for opening a file it is not possible to select the file like in emacs (comparable to the shell behavior). But there is that 'nice' menu coming which is not capable to extend sub directories and file names like the bash does. Is there a possibility to come to the nice command line like one has in the emacs? Thanks in advance Wolfgang

Not all system have the same programs at the same place. When did you
last check that my tru64 system has gv in /usr/bin (hint: it does
not).
We check for some programs, but obviously we miss some. If you want to
help, you can send a list of possible viewers for each format, along
with a discussion of how to order them.
Currently it is not possible to use mozilla (which needs a complete
file: URL), but it should not be difficult to fix.

I think the default should be like other programs with a section in on of the help files explaining how to modify the menus (perhaps there is already one, I didn't read the full doc for a long time ;) ). > My favourite, however, would be to have it in a separate history window > that can be popped up with a keyboard shortcut (as for instance C-A-h > does in the Opera browser). You can do it, have a look at the .ui files in /use/share/lyx/ui, just copy one to ~/.lyx/ui and modify it, then go to the preference dialog of LyX and tell which ui file you want to use. -- Renaud Michel Nous sommes tous quelque chose de naissance, musicien ou assassin, mais il faut apprendre le maniement de la harpe ou du couteau J.

But I thought it was possible to add your own viewers in the preferences? Such
as my preference for kde's kghostviw, so I put "/usr/bin/kghostview" in the
Postscript conversion section as viewer and it should then appear in the VIEW
menu right?

Hi I think I know how to define my own shortcuts, but does anybody know of an easy way to get a list of the currently defined shortcuts?

I like to have a long lastfiles list because I am working on a book of (currently) 12 chapters. It makes for fast switching between chapters when the they're (mostly) all in the list.

LyX-1.2.1 on MacOS 10.2
I've finally gotten Lyx-1.2.1 compiled and installed on MacOS 10.2 (Jaguar). Apparently there is a port to the CVS tree on fink, but I wasn't able to get that one. Here's what I did: - Change lyx-1.2.1/boost/boost/detail/limits.hpp to #ifndef __APPLE__ #include #endif - Before compiling, set two environment variables: CPPFLAGS = -no-cp-precomp CXX = g++2 The second makes gcc-3.1 behave like gcc-2.95.2, which is what LyX seems to need. It will no doubt take me a while to configure this LyX to behave like the version I'm accustomed to on Solaris, but with a working LyX the PowerMac finally feels like a real workstation! -- Ronald Florence www.18james.com

Compiled 1.2.1 for RH7.3. Want to test?
Earlier I asked about lyx and g++3, got an email to revert to g++-2.96, so I did, and it did build. If you are a RH user, get the xforms 88 from lyx's contrib dir, and then try this one: http://lark.cc.ku.edu/~pauljohn/software/lyx-1.2.1-1rh73-xforms088.i386.rpm I copied the name's format from the rpm lyx had on its ftp for version 1.2.0. I'm glad to donate this to the lyx server if it works for other people. As far as I understand it, this does not depend on any RPMS that are not in the RH distribution itself except for xforms, which I got here: ftp://ftp.lyx.org/pub/lyx/contrib/xforms-0.88-4.i386.rpm So if it asks for something when you try to install, get out your cds. I used that xforms because I guessed (at random) that it would be more stable than 0.89. WHen I ran lyx-1.2.0 under 0.89, I got lots of console error messages that grossed me out, but did not hurt lyx as far as I could see. Good luck, let me know if it works. Then tell me how to transport that rpm to the lyx ftp site maintainer. -- Paul E.

If you want to define a new environment, use the following code
\newcounter{enumisave}
\def\myenumerate{%
\ifnum \@enumdepth >\thr@@\@toodeep\else
\advance\@enumdepth\@ne
\edef\@enumctr{enum\romannumeral\the\@enumdepth}%
\expandafter
\list
\csname label\@enumctr\endcsname
{\usecounter\@enumctr%
\ifnum\@enumdepth=1 \setcounter{enumi}{\value{enumisave}}\fi%
\def\makelabel##1{\hss\llap{##1}}}%
\fi}
\def\endmyenumerate{%
\ifnum\@enumdepth=1 \setcounter{enumisave}{\value{enumi}}\fi%
\endlist}
Another solution is not use a separate environment, but to put
an ERT macro (e.g. \noreset) before each enumerate you don't want its number
to reset.
If you prefer this solution, I can provide the necessary tex code.

angstrom symbol
hi In previous versions, when I clicked with the mouse in the status-bar, or whatever name it has, it opened a kind of command line which allowed me to insert commands. I used it to include in the text the angstrom symbol (letter A with a little circle above it), just typing 'accent-circle' and then 'A'. There is a simple way to do it in the newer versions (I use 1.2.0) otter than ERT? thanks, Luiz Eleno

Where will I put the above code? Is it in my preamble?

Can you send your TeX code to me so that I can check if it works with me?
By the way, how can I successfully convert my LyX document that uses the
CU-Thesis to a PDF file that supports links to the URLs?
Also, how can I make the table of contents, list of figures and list of
tables supports links internally in a PDF file? The three of them are auto
generated by the CU-Thesis and I didn't make it.
Lastly, what is the best and easiest way to make Bibliographies and
References for my thesis format for a newbie like me?
Thank you very much.
God bless...

Actually, I still need the running page numbers at the right-top on each page and no numbering on each new chapter page. I only don't want the running chapter titles.

teTeX won't generate some fonts ?
It was always so easy on the Solaris boxes! After some struggle, I've gotten LyX to work on a MacOS 10.2 PowerMac, but the teTeX installation is refusing to generate some fonts. Here's typical error output: xdvi: can't find font phvr8t; using cmr10 instead at 467 dpi. - mktexpk --mfmode cx --bdpi 300 --mag 1+24/300 --dpi 324 phvr8t '>&3' mktexpk: don't know how to create bitmap font for phvr8t. Of course, the font it claims to not be able to find is in the teTeX distribution, texhash has been run recently, and nothing in the installation protested. I'd very much appreciation advice, wisdom, or suggestions on how to get xdvi and teTeX to behave so I can get back to writing with LyX. Thanks, Ronald

I have found emacs is the best way. I've tried the others but once the emacs interface is worked out it's very efficient. When you open emacs create a file with the suffix .bib (for example mybib.bib) emacs immediately knows what you are doing and provides all the tools.
