Forcing simplex printing

Hi all. I'll be submitting my thesis soon. The university requires that the thesis be printed on one side only, but (poor me) all the printers I have access to are duplex by default. I don't want to manually change the settings on the printer. Is there a way to force LyX to generate postscript

Formatting source code

Hello! I'm currently writing my thesis and need to have some code snippets as part of it. Unfortunately, because I'll be using double spacing, simply putting the code in and changing it to a typewriter font, or using Lyx-Code causes the code to be double spaced as well, making it really hard to

LyX "disappearing" all the time

Hi all. I didn't see this in any bugs documentation, so I don't know if it's just me. I just compiled my own lyx 1.14 with the fix1 patch. Every now and then the program just seems to disappear (crash I guess). It doesn't leave a core file behind, but when I restart the program it tells me it's

Resumes with Lyx

Previously I couldn't find anything that allowed one to do resumes with Lyx. Is this now possible? If not, can someone please point me to a good (maintained?) package that would allow me to write resumes in LaTeX? Thanks.

Changing screen colors #2

Woah I just realized that there is a man page for LyX and it talks about command line options for screen colors. My question remains, however. I can change the background color now but I still cannot seem to change the foreground color using the -???Color arguments. -Reverse makes it white but I

Changing screen colors

Is it possible to change the default screen & font colors? A dark background with light text would be really, really great. I don't see any mention of doing this in any of the documentation. Thanks.

eps images, pdflatex & lyx's latex output

Hi all. I've come upon a curious problem. I've been writing a lot of stuff lately and had to generate some postscript and pdf files. Since Lyx doesn't generate PDF directly yet, I exported to Latex and used latex and pdflatex (from tetex-latex-1.0.6). When the document only has text, both the

Saving Screen Font Configuration

Man the more I use Lyx the more I like it, but then the more quirks I find. I didn't find this information in any FAQ. I hope this hasn't been asked a thousand times over before. How do I save screen font config? Every time I change the zoom factor or the font names. It changes the current sessi

Sorting References

Is there a way to sort all the references by either key or label? It gets very messy when you have lots of them and there is no apparent order. Thanks for any help.

Document Class & Latex styles

How do Lyx document classes and Latex styles relate?

Manipulating EPS images in Lyx

Hi all. I'm thinking of using Lyx to write my master's report. Most here know why .. it's stable, it's clean, it works well for what it does. I understand several others have used Lyx to write their theses. What is an appropriate class to use? Are there classes one can install that are speciali

DocBook -> postscript generation styles

Hi all. When I try to generate postscript from a Docbook document via Lyx, I get my title displayed twice, once typeset in large, centered text, and once more in smaller text, which I don't really want. Although I know little about how DocBook and sgmltools work, I assume that this must be beca

sgml2lyx?!

Hi all. Alright. I've read all the messages regarding Docbook. I've installed Lynx 1.0.4 via RPM onto my Mandrake 6.1 machine. I've installed sgml-tools from RPM as well. I believe I read that with this, I will be able to read/write Docbook formatted documents "out of the box". Well, eventually
