Reconfiguration Problem

[Richard Heck]

Dear Richard,
The script '/usr/share/lyx/scriptes/TexFile.py' failed
Secondly, All the document classes are unavailable in my Lyx installation
I have Lyx 2.1.1 (July 2014 release) and have installed texlive-base,
and texlive-extra

This sounds like a larger configuration issue.

Can you run LyX from a terminal and see what error messages you get when
you try to reconfigure?

Richard

PS I'm cc'ing this back to the devel list. I expect we will need more
help. Remember to reply to all when you do reply.

Dear Richard,

Attached is console log for lyx.

Starting Lyx from console solved the re-configuration errors.
Reconfiguration still fails when Lyx is started directly from GUI.

I still having errors in exporting Lyx document to OpenDocument.

Regards,
Tariq

That probably means there is some difference in the two environments,
e.g., in the paths. It is possible that LyX is calling python 3.x from
the GUI and python 2.x from the console. Hard to know. You could try
looking in the file $HOME/.xsession-errors and see if there is anything
useful there.

I still having errors in exporting Lyx document to OpenDocument.

Unfortunately, there is not a lot we can do about that. The tex4ht
package is known to have a lot of limiations. That said, there is a GSOC
project going on right now that is focused on converting back and forth
between LyX and ODT. If you'd be interested in helping to test that
branch, send a message to the devel list.

Dear Richard,

Thanks for your reply.

I would like to participate in testing of the GSOC project to
LyxToWordConversion [http://wiki.lyx.org/GSoC/LyxToWordConversion].

Would someone please add me to the list and provide the binaries/code for
testing?

Regards,
Tariq

Communication about the project happens on this list. The code is in the
LyX GSOC repository, which you can browse here:
http://git.lyx.org/?p=gsoc.git;a=summary
I'm not sure which branches (listed at the bottom) are part of this
project, but presumably odt2lyx is one of them, as are the lyx2word
branches.

I'm cc'ing the people mainly involved in this. They can give us more info.

Hi Tariq,

it is great to hear you are willing to test the work Prannoy did over the
summer in the context of Google's summer of code.
As Richard pointed out, the code (it's all in .4ht files) is in the gsoc
repository, and more precisely in the tests directory.

I would just ask you to wait a few more days, as Prannoy is now in the
final week of the project and he is moving stuff around and testing a
script that allows a the conversion to ODT to be launched directly from the
LyX interface, thereby greatly simplifying the testing process.

Bug me again in a week or so if you don't hear from me.

Cheers,

Stefano

Hi Tariq,

thanks for asking about the project. I am afraid it is not quite ready yet
for public consumption. Prannoy put together some scripts that tie
everything together, but all the code is still parked in the various gsoc
repositories.
I haven't had the time to look at it since the end of Google's summer of
code because of a major professional deadline that's coming up this week. I
hope to get back to the project next week and produce at the very least a
single gsoc repo that could be easily cloned for testing purposes.


Cheers,

Stefano

Dear Stefano,
I did not have any update from you regarding LyxToWordConversion. Is it
ready for use?

Tariq

Hi Tariq,

sorry for not getting back to you---I thought Prannoy's message had reached
you. My mistake.

Did you manage to produce a single gsoc repository for testing purposes?

Prannoy created a single repository called "prannoy" that contains all the
work he did over the summer. It is one one the main branches in the gsoc
repository:
http://git.lyx.org/?p=gsoc.git;a=summary

Let me know how your tests go.

Cheers,

Stefano
