[SOLVED] LyX cannot find layout/document classes

LyX refuses to produce any output for me because it cannot find article.layout, or any other common layout. This file is installed in /usr/share/lyx/layouts/article.layout.
I have installed texlive-most and texlive-bin. I have installed dvips and the other programs necessary to render files.
I have tried clearing my LyX config several times (rm -rf ~/.lyx) and it hasn't helped. I have removed and reinstalled texlive with various options, including -Rn and -Rc, multiple times. I have also manually removed leftover files from both LyX and texlive. I have told LyX to reconfigure itself several times.
No output will be produced. I thought maybe this was caused by some stray old config file floating somewhere out there but heretofore have not been able to find it or remove it via -Rn. Someone told me that a fresh install of LyX works.
Any help would be deeply appreciated.
EDIT: I have also tried updating my PATH to include /opt/texlive/bin as suggested somewhere else on these boards and then running and reconfiguring LyX. It doesn't help.

Ugh, just solved it. Hopefully this helps someone. I hadn't removed ~/.texlive. Removing that and restarting LyX fixed it.

I cannot find a document I prepared yesterday. How do I locate it in the external backup disc

(1) Look in the System's Recent items, maybe it's available in this list) [ it's in the  menu ]
(2) Use the Finder's Search tool (cmd + F) asking it to retrieve files whose name ends with ".numbers"
And next time, take care of what you do.

"Cannot find the main Class. Program will exit."

Hi, I created a program, and I am trying to distribute it to other people in my office. I tried using both NetBeans 6.8/6.9 and eclipse. I exported to a single jar file. When I run this single .jar file, it runs perfectly. I sent it to one of my coworkers, and the message "Cannot find the main Class. Program will exit." popped up. I then had IT update his Java to 6.20 and it worked. The problem is that this program must be distributed to over 100 people, and I cannot have them each update their Java individually, nor will IT update everyone's on their own. They all have Java 4.XX I believe. Is there any way around this error that only happens on older versions of java? I have checked my manifest file and what not, as I said it runs on computers with Java 6.

a) Ensure the code does not use functionality introduced in later versions, e.g. assertions, generics, for-each loops.. Using the [cross-compilation options of javac|http://java.sun.com/javase/6/docs/technotes/tools/windows/javac.html#crosscomp-options] will warn of those.
b) Ensure the code does not use any classes, attributes or methods that were not available in the earlier version, then use the cross-compilation options of javac when compiling. Actually the second will alert of the first, so long as the -bootclasspath parameter is used with an appropriate rt.jar.I believe that everything is ok, unless some of the swing functions cannot be used in 1.4. Besides the swing functions (which I am not sure about) everything should be able to be used in 1.4
Thank You

Newbie question: cannot find symbol symbol: class STRING

I've just decided to teach myself some java, and on my first try something's going wrong and I don't know what it is.

and everything is good until I try to compile it and I get this error in the cmd

Actually, you have NO CLUE what he's trying to doActually he said what he is trying to do in his posting. It's no mystery. But that's all the information that's available. If you know something that isn't posted here why not say so?
Your reply was a snide, rude, "You're stupid for doing it that way" answerMy reply was neither snide nor rude and implied none of what you impute to it. It was a proper and constructive suggestion. You are entitled to disagree with it, but that doesn't justify this immoderate outburst.
Bottom line is, you chose to be nastyBottom line is you're just making this up. You are imputing motives to me without evidence. Don't do that.
You are the type of person that makes searching forums and posting questions for assistance a near waste of time.I doubt that you'll find many regulars here that would agree with that assertion. When you have made over 16,000 posts here over ten years as I have, come back and we'll discuss it some more.
Go back to grade school and ...I suggest you try it yourself. You're not adding anything except noise to the discussion. Try curbing your temper, and while you're at it have a good look at the Code of Conduct for these forums. You're verging on personal abuse here.
And, additionally, I've used ANT in the past. Batch files are FAR AND AWAY easier to set up.In your opinion. I disagree entirely, and I have eleven years' experience with Java to back it up.
As for CLASSPATH, I haven't done anything about setting it beyond installing the JDK since about 1999, and it has a dot in it as we speak.

"The Server cannot find the document corresponding to the document id"

Periodically when we schedule a Discoverer Report (Apps EUL) we get the following error:
"The Server cannot find the document corresponding to the document id sent for open"
Months back Oracle told us to do the following as a workaround:
Log into Oracle Desktop, schedule something, then go back to OracleBI Discoverer Plus.
The error goes away.
This is an insane workaround. Has anyone seen this error and found a patch or a realistic workaround.
Thanks,
Bob

Bob.
I haven't seen this problem, but sure makes me wonder what Oracle is up to, when they essentially tell you to "give the scheduler a good slap via Disco Desktop" every now and then.
Maybe is you created an SR in Metalink you could slap them back on this one!

Hi why I can't download itunes on my hubby's laptop?It showing an error message "windows cannot find C:\document and settings\pistolero\mymusic... We have itunes before and he accidentally delete it..

... We have itunes before and he accidentally delete it..
If Windows cannot find then the path you referenced (C:\document and settings\pistolero\mymusic...) then it is gone.
Download and install iTunes again: http://www.apple.com/itunes/
Once iTunes is installed you can download your purchased music again. This assumes what you purchased is still available in the Store. Here is the procedure:
Launch iTunes.
Click on iTunes Store on the left
On the right you will see this
Sign in with your Apple ID, then click on "Purchased" (with the orange blob)
On the summary page that appears select the tab "Not on This Computer" on the right.
On the list that appears, select what you want and then click the "Download" button.

I cannot find a document which I think I asked to save to icloud when I didn't have wifi so now only have .folder title and no content (pages document). How do I retrieve content?

Back in September, I typed over a document, duplicated it and renamed duplicate. I think I then clicked save when prompted to save to icloud. At this time I wasn't connected to the internet. Now I cannot find the document but have found a .folder with the same name as the document I created but this folder is empty. Is there any way of retrieving the content of that original document created in Pages?

I really don't understand.

Jni findclass cannot find my own classes with jre1.4

I have a C++ program that uses CreateJavaVM() and FindClass() to access my own Java classes. Everything works as expected. Another C++ program uses
GetCreatedJavaVMs() (returns 1)
AttachCurrentThread()
FindClass()
to try to access other Java classes of my own. The GetCreatedJavaVMs() and AttachCurrentThread() seem to work fine but the FindClass() cannot find my own Java classes anymore.
Shouldn't the VM and associated JNIEnv from GetCreatedJavaVMs be the same as that created using CreateJavVM() and thus be able to find the same classes? By the way, this worked fine with jre1.2 but stopped working when trying to move to jre1.4. Any ideas would be appreciated.

hi...was wondering if you got that issue resolved.
was it actually because of the newer JRE version?
thanks.Considering that the post is about 2 years old, and that the person hasn't posted much since then here, I'd doubt he/she's going to respond to you. This isn't his/her email address, ya know.

[SOLVED]ld cannot find -l-L/usr/lib -lalleg error

I just installed allegro4 (I know it's outdated but I don't really know much allegro 5 and I need to make a game as a project for school), and everything seems to be working fine. I'm using Code::Blocks. In the Settings->Compiler and Debugger window under the Linker Settings tab I have set
`allegro-config --libs`
When I compile, I get the following error
ld cannot find -l-L/usr/lib -lalleg
I've tried searching for errors similar to this on google but I haven't had much luck.

My guess is that you put `allegro-config --libs` where your IDE expects library name while it should go to where IDE expects linker options.
That worked perfectly. Thank you very much.
