Re: LyX-1.1.6 Layout->Paragraph Apply does nothing
After verifying that 1.1.6fix4 has the same Apply bug as 1.1.6fix2, I've pursued more recent versions of LyX, and have a question. It seems 1.3.2, which John Levon says is free of this bug, needs way too many libraries to be installable in my SuSE 7.3 distro (see below), but the rpm for 1.2 complains only about two tetex things, same as 1.1.6, and I'm sure those complaints are benign. So I tried installing lyx-1.2.3-1rh73.i386.rpm, and got no fatal- sounding errors during the installation, but when I try to run lyx, it dies with: error while loading shared libraries: \ lyx: undefined symbol: __dynamic_cast_2 Is this a problem with my C libraries, that would not be solved by compiling the source, or would it be worth my while to try downloading the src and building it? My gcc is 2.95.3-124, according to rpm. Or is there simply a library of some sort I could install that would cure the above error? A more important question is: does 1.2.3 still have the Layout->Paragraph Apply-does-nothing bug? If so, then I should simply move back to 1.1.5 until I can move all the way to 1.3.2 or beyond. TIA, Jim If it's of any use, these are the errors from 1.3.2: rpm -U --test lyx-1.3.2-1suse81-qt.i386.rpm error: failed dependencies: libGLcore.so.1 is needed by lyx-1.3.2-1_qt libgcc_s.so.1 is needed by lyx-1.3.2-1_qt liblcms.so is needed by lyx-1.3.2-1_qt libpng12.so.0 is needed by lyx-1.3.2-1_qt libstdc++.so.5 is needed by lyx-1.3.2-1_qt libstdc++.so.5(CXXABI_1.2) is needed by lyx-1.3.2-1_qt libstdc++.so.5(GLIBCPP_3.2) is needed by lyx-1.3.2-1_qt FWIW, On Sun, Aug 24, 2003 at 2:56:06PM -0700, I wrote: > In LyX 1.1.5 if I opened the Layout->Paragraph popup with the cursor > in paragraph A, and then moved the cursor to paragraph B, I could then > click Apply, and have paragraph A's characteristics (vertical spaces, etc) > applied to paragraph B.

Hej.
I probably explained badly the pb. It seems to be impossible to have, in
1 document, some slides created with a ERT "begin{slide} ...end{slide}"
and some others created with the "slide" from the lyx environment menu.
I think this comes from the fact that when you select "slide" from the
menu, it creates a kind of "begin{slide}", but you can't see the
corresponding "end{slide}", which will be created when you will add a
new slide. So, if you have such a "lyx slide", and then you add an ERT
"begin slide", this "begin" will be before the lyx "end{slide}", and it
produces errors.

"Warning: ...Get an older version of LyX..."
I've just reinstalled LyX 1.1.5, after using Lyx 1.1.6 on a few documents, and now when I try to open those documents, I get a box saying "Tabular format < 5 is not supported anymore/ Get an older version of LyX (< 1.1.x) for conversion!" My only option at that point is [Dismiss] at which point LyX exits altogether. Have I simply lost these documents? There's not much "tabular" material in them, and if I knew what to go after, maybe I could edit the offending stuff out of the .lyx files. Could anyone give advice on a way to salvage them? Would a very old (like how old?) version of LyX really know more about 1.1.6 than 1.1.5 does? That seems bizaare, but I'll try any suggestions. TIA, Jim

What I mean is that the arguments that LyX passes to the geometry package, assumes the old version of geometry.

Hi List,
I'm new to LyX and I encounter some problems.
I'm using a windows port of LyX Version 1.3.2 of Tue, May 6 2003
by Ruurd Reitsma.
I have created a new document, and I have selected the French language
for the document layout. Then I wrote some text and I inserted an
EPS image. When I try to view my document as DVI I get the following
errors:
Error converting to loadable format
There were errors during the LaTeX run.
4 errors detected
You should try to fix them.
Error 1
Missing $ inserted.
...yx_tmpbuf8/_devustn_mdl_codfscid_doc_menu}
I've inserted something that you may have forgotten.
(See the above.)
With luck, this will get me unwedged. But if you
really didn't forget anything, try typing `2' now; then
my insertion and my current dilemma will both disappear.
Error 2
Missing \endcsname inserted.
...yx_tmpbuf8/_devustn_mdl_codfscid_doc_menu}
The control sequence marked should
not appear between \csname and \endcsname.
Error 3
LaTeX Error: Cannot determine size of graphic in E\penalty [EMAIL PROTECTED]
:/win32app/ly
...yx_tmpbuf8/_devustn_mdl_codfscid_doc_menu}
Try typingto proceed.
If that doesn't work, type X to quit.
Error 4
Missing $ inserted.
...yx_tmpbuf8/_devustn_mdl_codfscid_doc_menu}
I've inserted a begin-math/end-math symbol since I think
you left one out. Proceed, with fingers crossed.
After reverting the document language to English, I can view
it as DVI.
What could be wrong with the French language ?
Any help is welcomed.
Thanks in advance.

New Classes?
Hi, Just started with LyX and LaTeX in general, but I really like it so far. I have, however, found the existing classes to be severly limiting. They work great if I am writing a formal report, with a separate title page, and things like that. However, it took me the better part of two days to write a simple policy memo. To get a letterhead for the memo, I had to write LaTeX by hand into the preamble, and then once I got to writing the body, I found that none of the existing classes really were conducive to writing a one or two page memo. I eventually used the "letter" class, forgoing a title environment in favor of just making the first line emphasized. I also had to rely on description environments to make what would have been sections. I guess what I'm asking is; Is there some place to go download additional classes (like a memo with letterhead), and, failing that, could some classes be included for a memo, with a fancyhdr letterhead?

(I don't know why rpm didn't find the liblcms.so symlink to liblcms.so.1.0.7) I know it would be nice to upgrade to the latest, especially LyX, but I also know that upgrading gcc and the libs is not trivial without known-compatible versions of everything on a nice CD, so I hesitate, and decided to fall back to trusty old LyX 1.1.5 until I can download (over a tenuous 56K line) all the gcc/libs and verify their compatibility or spring for a new Linux CD. If I'm overlooking something that might make upgrading to LyX 1.3.2 easy, I'm open to suggestions. Thanks very much for asking :) Jim
