Cannot find a Tutorial for oding a beamer presentation

[Michael Kummer]

Dear Helpers!

I would like to write my first presentation on LyX, but since I am a dummy I
will need a Tutorial.
I looked for it in the manuals (and in the web) but I can't find any (but
since I am a dummy I probably missed out on it)
Is there a way to save my soul from falling back to powerpoint?

Regards
Michael

P.S.: thanks a lot for  programme, documentation and your work. It is
extremely useful.

You find some example files in LyX's examples folder. The Beamer documentation is the most beautiful 
I've ever read and you find there everything you need to know. It also contains a section about 
style guidelines for presentations in general. You can find the documentation  at the usual place 
for LaTeX-package documentations in your LaTeX-distribution.

Don't expect that everything is better using Beamer. The output is very nice and the audience 
usually love it, but it costs much more time to produce a presentation with LaTeX.

I somebody tells me where to look I'm willing to give these details a 
look.

That is a problem with the German translation of LyX.  It is easy to
fix if you can compile LyX. (If you can't, you can still fix it, but
you will need someone else to test the fix.)

1. Get the source
2. compile and install LyX
3. go to the source subdirectory named "po", it holds
   translations for all languages.
4. Edit the file named "de.po"

5. Find the strings in question. The underlining will either
  look like "&Datei" or "Datei|D". You can remove the underlining
  by turning it into "Datei".  Even better, underline another
  letter not used in that dialog.
  If the "a" is free, change to "D&atei" or "Datei|a"
6. Run "make de.gmo ; make install" in the po directory.

If you can't compile, just get the source and perform steps 3,4,5
Then post your "de.po" so we can test it.

I think there already is someone working on the german translation,
you may want to talk to him first so you don't work on the same problems.

lyx 1.5 problems - slowness, scrolling, listings

[Jakub Suder]

Hi,

I'm using the rc1 version, here are some problems and wishes:

- sometimes when I'm typing, the letters appear very slow - for
example I type entire sentence and then look at the screen and see the
letters of that sentence appear like two per second. This happens
especially when the sentence is inside a yellow Lyx note. Lyx 1.5
seems generally noticeably slower than 1.4 ...

- when I scroll through the document using my mouse's wheel, and there
are floats in the doc (pictures or listings), sometimes the float is
scrolled part at a time, like it should (especially when I'm scrolling
up), and sometimes entire float is scrolled with one move of the wheel
(esp. when scrolling down). This is inconsistent with scrolling normal
text and even with itself, and a bit annoying, especially when I want
to edit code in a listing and I want to position the listing exactly
where I want on the screen.

- I'd like to have a faster way of inserting listings and captions -
right now there's no underlined letter in "Program listing" in the
"Insert" menu, so I can't press "ALT+I [anykey]" and I have to look at
the menu and look for the entry.

- I can't put any Polish letters in a listing or a listing's caption,
because I get those errors:

(listing)
Missing $ inserted.
Extra }, or forgotten $.
Package inputenc Error: Keyboard character used is undefined. [You
need to provide a definition with \DeclareInputText or
\DeclareInputMath before using this key.]

(caption)
Package inputenc Error: Keyboard character used is undefined. [You
need to provide a definition with \DeclareInputText or
\DeclareInputMath before using this key.]
Argument of section [EMAIL PROTECTED] has an extra }.
Paragraph ended before [EMAIL PROTECTED] was complete.

I switched to UTF-8 when I installed Lyx 1.5. And I did select
"Extended Chars" in the listing options.


Regards,
Jakub Suder

lyx 1.5 problems contd. - disappearing paragraphs

[Jakub Suder]

I knew I forgot something...

One more bug - sometimes when using Lyx 1.5 I see such phenomenon: the
entire document becomes black, except the paragraph which is being
edited, which is ok. I need to scroll the document up or down, then
everything returns to normal.

Line break

Hi!

Is there any way of having a line-break in LyX that is not translated into a line-break in the latex document? That is, I would like to 
see this in LyX:


Text1
Text2

An this in Latex:
Text1Text2

Nicolás

LyX 1.44: Questionmarks instead of citations

[Rainer M. Krug]

Hi

I know that it has been asked before, but I can't find it. So there it 
is again:


I am having problems with bibtex. I can insert the citations in lyx 
without problems, but when I run pdflatex, I get questionmarks insted of 
the references in the text and no bibliography. In addition, the LaTeX 
log says:



Package natbib Warning: Citation `Myers2000a' on page 5 undefined on 
input line

 82.


Package natbib Warning: Citation `Harper1977' on page 5 undefined on 
input line

 84.


for each reference.

I get the same when I run BibTeX directly but no other error messages.


Any ideas welcome,

Re: LyX 1.44: Questionmarks instead of citations

[Bernd.Kulawik]

Hi,

a friend of mine seems to have a similar problem - though it might be even
more general.
She's using Lyx 1.4.2 on Windows XP (and I'm absolutely no Windows guy ...
:-).
She created a large bibliography with JabRef for her dissertation and
imports all bibliographical notes from there - but she doesn't want to
have citations like
[1, pp. 13-22] where [1] is the number of the title in the bibliography.
But I was unable to import another bibliography style into LyX ...
We can't even copy a downloaded .sty-file into the texmf\source\xypic.cab
folder ...
Even changing the bibliography style in LyX's document settings from
"plain" to "natbib" for instance, does not work ...

Sorry if the question may sound stupid ... but when I used BibTeX
extensively (7 years ago) I did so on a linux system and never had to
import any additional style.
So, what could we do?

Thanks in advance for any help

Bernd

Beamer is nice

Powerdot is also nicefor me, somewhat easier to
use.

LyX also has doc type "slides" which is easy to start
with.

Right! I know. But it has to be with with my way of using algorithm2e in LyX. This package complains sometimes when I write the 
algorithm code in different lines. However, it is easier for me to understand what I am writing if I organize it in different lines.

Two ways:

1. Resize the window so narrow that LyX is forced to break it like that.
   Probably not what you want though!


2. Type it in like this:
Text1
Menu insert->Tex-Code
%
right arrow
ctrl+enter
Text2

On the screen you get
Text1ERT%
Text2

Basically, you have a forced linebreak that is commented out so latex
don't see it. LyX still display it, because LyX don't try to understand what
you put inside an ERT box. In this case, a comment character
that invalidates the rest of that line.  And the rest of the line
is the linebreak character. :-)

Lyx crashing on backspace, 1.5rc1. if pagebreak and math mode enabled

[Ronald Ryland]

*Lyx crashing on backspace, 1.5rc1. if pagebreak and math mode enabled.

Lyx 1,5rc1 is a tremendous step forward, but I seem to have found a bug? 
But unfortunately I am in the middle of chemistry finals, and dont have 
time to fill in correctly in bugzilla.


After entering a display math - mode in a page breaked subparagraph, if 
mathmode is exited by space, and normal text is on a new line. When 
trying to delete this text, Lyx will crash if I try to delete the last 
character, before returning to the previous line and display math mode.


Lyx only reports "closing  socket closed" as error message.

Is it a bug, or am I doing something wrong?

You can have a look at tutorial.lyx, details.lyx etc under

with the pdf versions (e.g.
http://simupop.svn.sourceforge.net/viewvc/*checkout*/simupop/trunk/doc/tutorial.pdf).
You will not be able to open it until RC2 is released because it is

Re: lyx 1.5 problems - slowness, scrolling, listings

[Bo Peng]

- I'd like to have a faster way of inserting listings and captions -
right now there's no underlined letter in "Program listing" in the
"Insert" menu, so I can't press "ALT+I [anykey]" and I have to look at
the menu and look for the entry.


It is not particularly easy but you can define a shortcut for this.
The lyx command is 'listing-insert'.


- I can't put any Polish letters in a listing or a listing's caption,
because I get those errors:

(listing)
Missing $ inserted.
Extra }, or forgotten $.
Package inputenc Error: Keyboard character used is undefined. [You
need to provide a definition with \DeclareInputText or
\DeclareInputMath before using this key.]


I do not know this but please try it in plain latex. I mean, create a
minimal lyx file with a  Polish listing, export to latex and adjust
things over there. If it is supposed to work, please send the lyx file
to the devel list and I will have a look.

Export it to LaTeX and try doing it manually. See if that works. If so, 
then it's a LyX problem.


I had problem like this once. I think BibTeX just wasn't being run, and

Re: lyx 1.5 problems - slowness, scrolling, listings

[Stefan Schimanski]

- when I scroll through the document using my mouse's wheel, and there
are floats in the doc (pictures or listings), sometimes the float is
scrolled part at a time, like it should (especially when I'm scrolling
up), and sometimes entire float is scrolled with one move of the wheel
(esp. when scrolling down). This is inconsistent with scrolling normal
text and even with itself, and a bit annoying, especially when I want
to edit code in a listing and I want to position the listing exactly
where I want on the screen.


See here: http://bugzilla.lyx.org/show_bug.cgi?id=2385

It's well known, but not so easy to fix. A proper fix propably has to  
wait for after 1.5.0, maybe even 1.6 depending on the solution.

I sent the message to the developers list and Enrico Forestieri answered

characters (the problem of using a portuguese version of XP...).


Damn - completely missed that.


Enrico provided a patch to fix the bug, but this seems to useful only 
for developers.


Until Uwe or another developer compiles release candidate 2 for Windows; 
then you'll be able to upgrade and use the patch.  (You could 
hypothetically compile it on Windows yourself, but your work-around is 
clearly less work for now.)



I simply created a directory

C:\Documents and Settings\Fernando\Local configurations\Temp\

and set this to the Temporary directory in Tools > Preferences > Paths. 
Now is working fine.


Thanks for the help.


Glad you got it sorted out.

à propos des symboles mathématiques

Depuis peu j' utilise LyX version 1.4.3  ( jai essayé aussi lyx-qt ,lyx xform

Par ailleurs sur l' écran les symboles mathématiques et les lettres grecques

help on keyboard shortcut

[Bob Alvarez]

I am trying to add a command to not indent a paragraph in Lyx 1.4.4. I do
this now by inserting ERT \noindent at the start of the paragraph

This works fine but it is tedious since I use this after (almost) every
equation in my paper. So, I am trying to do this with a keyboard shortcut.

I modified cua.bind to use one of the 'Free bindings', by inserting the
following line in the file

\bind "C-y""command-sequence ert-insert; self-insert \noindent;"

Now when I type control-y this mostly works but it leaves me in ert-insert
mode. What commands can I use to:

1. get out of ert-insert mode to regular text insert mode

2. insert a space in the text after the ERT.

TIA

This seems tricky, as I can't see how just to insert a space. But this 
will do:
   self-insert a b; delete-backward; char-backward; delete-backward; 
char-forward

So the whole thing would be:
\bind "C-y""command-sequence ert-insert;  self-insert

char-backward; delete-backward; char-forward"

Or perhaps better yet:
   "command-sequence ert-insert; self-insert \noindent a; 
delete-backward; next-inset-toggle"

Then you get the space inside ERT, and the inset is collapsed for you.

I'm going to finish some stuff someone else started to add alignment 
LFUNs after 1.5.0 is out. If you file an enhancement request for a 
paragraph-params-noalign LFUN and cc me on it, I'll make sure to add it,

P.S.: thanks a lot for  programme, documentation and your work. It is

The Beamer user guide is great, and it explicitly explains many (though

Note that this list is in English, there is also a French speaking list:

To you proble: It seems that you don't have the correct fonts installed. I think you have to install 
the LaTeX-XFT fonts to for LyX 1.4.3. The fonts were an own Debian package that was removed in the 
last Debian release when I followed this correctly. Other know more here.

But what about updating to LyX 1.4.4?

Re: LyX 1.44: Questionmarks instead of citations

Rainer M. Krug wrote:
I just managed to reproduce it with a default new file and two 
references. I attache the bibtex file, the lyx file, the resulting pdf 
and the latex log


This is very strange and I don't have any ideas what could be the problem.



When BibTeX citations mysteriously fail, usually the first thing I look 
for is an indigestible .bib file, which seems to be the problem here.  I 
compiled you doc using both LyX and export to LaTeX/manual compile, and 
both failed as they did for you.  Then I poked around the .bib file.





This file was created with JabRef 2.2.
Encoding: ISO8859_1

@INPROCEEDINGS{Baard1997,
  author = {Baard, E.H.W.},
  title = {A conservation strategy for the geometric tortoise, Psammobates


I think that the character immediately after "tortoise," is causing 
BibTeX digestion problems.  I deleted it, save the .bib file, then 
deleted and reapplied the references in the LyX document, and it then 
compiled correctly.


I'm no expert on encodings, but if that character is a legitimate 
character in ISO8859_1, there's still the question of whether that's 
what BibTeX is using.  The LyX document seems to be set for "default" 
encoding (for British).  I don't know enough about BibTeX to know if it 
reads the encoding from the .bib file, from the .aux file (which 
presumably matches the source document), or whether it just uses 
'latin1' regardless.

Fair enough, but I wouldn't like to see this pass without putting in my
strongest possible support for the existing policy of forbidding extra
white spaces.

Allowing extra white space, knowing that it will be wiped out by LaTeX,
is at best useless, at worst misleading.

Furthermore, this behaviour of Lyx is one of the things that I point
out to beginners to distinguish Lyx from their old word processor. It
is a simple, yet powerful, way to show them the advantages of leaving
formatting to the latex engine.

Cheers,
Alan

The complex examples supplied with Beamer mostly did not work on my

Even when it works, you get error messages (if you invoke LyX from the
command line), about counters. These don't seem to matter.

But, at least for SuSE, very difficult to install.

You need a recent version of Beamer. So check if you have an actual one 
installed.
LyX has its own example files. Lok in LyX's example file folder. When some of them don't work, 
please report this at bugzilla.lyx.org.

math-size commands??

[David L. Johnson]

It used to be the case that we could change the size (and style) of a 
math inset by entering "math-size displaystyle" (or other styles) in the 
minibuffer, while the cursor is in the math-inset.  I even wrote about 
it in the documentation.


That stuff I wrote is still in the users' guide, but it no longer works 
in 1.4.4.  How can we do this now?  I want to change an inlined math 
formula to be the same size (and have the same delimiters) as a 
displayed equation.  On old documents, where I had an inlined math inset 
set up this way, it still works, but I can't turn it on on a new 
document, or new inset in an existing document.


Where did it go?
