In this case, manually removing ngerman (or, if the references are part of the document, not included via BibTeX, changing the language to English) may be a last resort. Generally, I would install and use the language package(s) even for just one German or French reference title. This ensures proper hyphenation in a more fail-proof way. Günter

Install them before you install LyX, maybe. The order/timing of installation of texlive-lang-* vs. lyx does not matter. The important point is, that you need to select the required language packages manually, because the lyx package does no longer (indirectly) depend on (or recommend) all languages. > Actually, though, why you can't install all languages is somehow a fault > of either the package maintainer, or the archive you are using.

It looks like the OP is using Debian/unstable or Debian/testing. This is "work in progress" and there was a re-structuring of the language support packages. So I would consider the problem one of the "rough edges" of the unstable branch, not a Debian bug. Günter

This problem sounds familiar. It could have to do with default settings (I am assuming that your default language for LyX documents is “ngerman”) or copying text from an other LyX document. I also assume that your English only chapter is a file by itself. What I suggest is to check the Document → Settings → Language → Language option to say “English (USA)”. Next select all the text in the file and open the Text Style dialogue (Edit → Text Style → Customized...) and use the Language option “Reset” (make sure all other options are set to “No change”) to “reset” the text language to the language set in the document settings. You have to do this also inside of every inset—resetting the language for all text does not work for the content of an inset, even if it is selected. If there are multiple levels of insets you have to reset the language on every level i.e. select all the inset content and reset the language then go to the next inset level and do it again. Please also keep in mind that LyX preserves language settings of copy-pasted text i.e. LyX does NOT apply the destination document language to pasted text if the source document is also a LyX document. One final note: I made those experiences on a Windows system and I prefer “vanilla” TeX Live every time - it causes less problems. Hugo
Re: Package babel Error: Unknow option `ngerman'
Hi! It looks like the OP is using Debian/unstable or Debian/testing. This is "work in progress" and there was a re-structuring of the language support packages. So I would consider the problem one of the "rough edges" of the unstable branch, not a Debian bug. The original poster is running a Debian stable/unstable-mix. I guess that is the reason for some of the problems. Wolfgang, is there any reason why you don't want to run pure Debian/testing or unstable installation? Debian/stable is intended for systems like servers (or the laptops on the ISS) where absolute stability is crucial. If one wants/has to use up-to-date software on Debian/stable, the installation process is very prone to errors. This is the reason I switched from Ubuntu to Debian testing. Ubuntu is based on a more or less dated snapshot of Debian/testing. I spent a week trying to install a piece of new software which had a very old version in the Ubuntu repositories. In the end it was a choice between gnawing of one of my feet in frustration or trying to install Debian/testing. I never had to regret that. Debian/unstable is still incredibly stable, and Debian/testing is even more so. You seem to be tech-savy, able to read and follow instructions and not afraid to ask questions. This more than qualifies you to run it. Additionally, Debian/testing would lead to much less problems. If I select this for installation, synaptic is going to remove a lot of texlive and other stuff, which I hesitate to do. To the actual problem: My guess is a version mixup between the Stable/unstable packages. You can try this: sudo apt-get -t unstable install texlive-lang-all , telling your Debian it shall install the newer packages specifically. There has to be a way to do that in synaptic directly, but I don't know it. Also, you can install the needed language packs specifically, texlife-lang-all is 850 Mb large. The texlive you've installed is the newer version, a dependency of Lyx 2.0.6. Texlive 2012 and 2013 are mutually exclusive packages. For my own problem: In this case, manually removing ngerman (or, if the references are part of the document, not included via BibTeX, changing the language to English) may be a last resort. The text in question is written in English, and I'm not aware of any German reference in it. I've sent the text to a friend to read it, and she opened it in a German LyX-installation. Maybe the line was added at this point, I haven`t exported this particular file to PDF in a while. Greetings! Ph.

I found the cause of the error I was reporting (ngerman)
checking the latex output gave me two places were ngerman is mentioned. In
both cases I had used an index which (in lyx) was underlined blue and the
tex text showed:
...
chronopharmacological\index{chronopharmacology@\selectlanguage{ngerman}%
chronopharmacology\selectlanguage{american}%
} aspects by ...
selecting the index content chronopharmacology and doing in
bearbeiten>textstyle>language>reset
(which makes the blue underline to disappear)
allowed me get the normal pdf output.
I just want to point this out, since other lyx users might have similar
issues.
Thanks for all the help.

Which additional package are recommended on Mac?
-BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE- Hash: SHA1 Hi I just upgraded to Maverick and deleted my homebrew directory installation, so I had to install all tools again. Now I realized, that there is no real list of recommended packages / programs available on the LyX site, i.e. I am particularly struggling ewith the image conversion ones. I now installed imagemagick and I could not convert pdf to png. I then installed ghostscript and reconfigured, and now it is working. I think a list of additional programs on each platform to do certain common tasks would be a very useful addition to the wiki - and possibly even put it into the help file, as under Linux (Ubuntu) these packages are in the "recommended" section of the package. One could even add a message to the reconfigure dialog, stating that the following suggested packages are missing, and that they are needed for the following tasks. Thanks, Rainer - -- Rainer M.

Re: spell check (again)
2013/11/12 bart deruyter > I do use LyxBook --Archaic as document class, it is for a novel, perhaps > this class does not support Dutch? > This is not related to the class. In recent versions of babel (the multilingual package), the individual language support files have been split from the core package (which is a good move from a babel maintenance point of view). For some strange reason, however, these language packages are not installed by default by some distros. I suppose you need to check whether you have the necessary texlive-lang- packages installed.

Springer svmult.cls for lyx

The LaTeX class? No, LyX does not ship LaTeX classes in general, it only ships the LyX layout files (modulo some very rare exceptions such as broadway and hollywood, which should rather be submitted to CTANm though).

Re: LyX label and reference problem - Faulty pdf
Hi Scott, Thank you for the e-mail. I have received no other suggestions about this problem. Yes, of course, it could be a problem in MikTeK. Or XP. I will try to get an example next time it happens. Anyway, LyX has been a great help. Thank you! All the best, Mark On 2013-11-11 21:33, Scott Kostyshak wrote: Hi Markus, This sounds like a very frustrating experience. See my comments in-line. On Mon, Nov 11, 2013 at 2:59 PM, Mark Mandelkern wrote: LyX label and reference problem - faulty pdf This is about internal labels and references, as for theorem numbers and section numbers, not about the references at the end of a paper. These numbers should appear in an exported pdf, but at times the pdf will have only ?? instead of the numbers, at more than a hundred places. The labels appear, but not the references. Thus, the exported pdf is useless. Can you send (to the list) a minimal working example? http://wiki.lyx.org/LyX/NewInLyX21 Program restart does not help. Computer restart does not help. The only solution I have found is a complete reinstall of the program, including MikTek. And even then, it is necessary to go back to a previous saved draft, and re-enter many updates. Sometimes a day's work. Sometimes a crucial line is lost. Doesn't this suggest that the problem is with MikTeX? Why do you think it is a LyX issue? I really have no idea and it could still be a LyX issue (maybe LyX triggers something when a new MikTeX installation is found), but I'm curious on your thoughts. Best, Scott
biber {Biblatex-citation-styles}
Hello,
how could I enable the field "Text Before" at 'Insert'->'Citation'.
I'm using
/
\usepackage[backend=biber, style=authoryear-icomp,//natbib=true]{biblatex}
/
/
andinstalled the modul //Biblatex-citation-styles//as described here
http://wiki.lyx.org/BibTeX/Biblatex/
So my main question is:
"Text after" works, but how could I get the "Text before" working?
Even nicer would is be to get more "Citation Styles" like "see [#ID]"
"cf. [#ID]" or "siehe" and "vgl."
is there a way?
best greetings
Chris

Try this:
In preamble:
\pgfdeclareimage[width=5em]{addon}{/Users/uwe/ownCloud/Vorlesung_2013_2014/0_Vorlesung_fundamente/Bilder/Addon}
And then in the frametitle, where you want to have the image:
