Bug#356960: lyx font errors
Jeremiah Savage
Version: 0.19
Severity: normal
When running lyx-1.4.0 ( ftp://ftp.lyx.org/pub/lyx/bin/1.4.0/debian-unstable
) as a non-root user, I am not able to View the files as DVI, PS, nor PDF.
root is able to convert to these formats without error. I am using the
simple Intro.lyx file as a test case, and selecting to View as a DVI. I am
running a current Debian Unstable with Lyx being the only foreign package.
Lyx pops up a 2 pane error dialog. The top says:
-----------------------
Font T1/cmr/m/it/6=ecti0600 at 6.0pt not loadable: Metric (TFM) file not
found
Font T1/cmr/bx/it/10=ecbi1000 at 10.0pt not loadable: Metric (TFM) file not
found
Font T1/cmr/bx/it/7=ecti0700 at 7.0pt not loadable: Metric (TFM) file not
found
-----------------------
The bottom says:
-----------------------
}
It, in turn, was built up from a typesetting language called \TeX{},
I wasn't able to read the size data for this font,
so I will ignore the font specification.
[Wizards can fix TFM files using TFtoPL/PLtoTF.]
You might try inserting a different font spec;
e.g., type `I\font<same font id>=<substitute font name>'.

Please include the output of the following commands:
# debconf-show tex-common
# ls -al /var/cache/fonts/
Did you read /usr/share/doc/tex-common/README.Debian?

Thanks for the report. What tetex packages do you have installed, ie,
what is the output of
dpkg -l tetex-* | egrep '^ii'
?

This sounds as if there are problems with font caching. What is the
ouput of
ls -l /var/cache/fonts
?

Let's make this a bit simpler by removing the extra layer due to lyx.
Could you please process the following file with latex and view the
resulting dvi file with xdvi:
\documentclass{article}
\usepackage[T1]{fontenc}
\begin{document}
test
\end{document}
Do you get any error messages? Thanks.

I just did, now. So, I ran
# dpkg-reconfigure -plow tex-common
and now
# debconf-show tex-common
* tex-common/managecache: true
* tex-common/groupname: users
tex-common/check_texmf_wrong:
tex-common/check_texmf_missing:
tex-common/cnf_name:
# ls -al /var/cache/fonts/
has not changed.
I tested Lyx again, but still have the same problem. Though, once I have
created a dvi of a file with root, my normal user account is then able to
"create" the same dvi. But testing other Lyx files (not yet DVI viewed by
root), results in the error.

I am able to view the dvi produced with xdvi without error. Is there a way
to use latex to test these font errors produced by Lyx?

Is your normal user account in the group 'users'? You can check this
with the 'groups' command. If not, adding this account to the users
group should solve your problem.

That was the problem! Before:
$groups
jsavage dialout cdrom floppy audio video
after
#adduser jsavage users
$groups
jsavage dialout cdrom floppy audio video users
I just created a new account, "test1" as a test, and "test1" is not a member
of any other group:
$groups
test1
I know this is now outside of the domain of your package, but is this
correct behaviour?
Thanks for your help,
Jeremiah

Well, the user who runs lyx probably isn't member of the group "users",
is he?

We should probably make clear in the README that in the default setup,
nobody is member of that group...

The lyx user account was not a member of "users"
As Ralf suggested, I added the account to the "users" group, and now Lyx is
able to properly view dvi, ps and pdf files.

Yes. You can modify /etc/adduser.conf to change this.
