BEAMER - \lyxframeend

Post by lmy »

I've been reading about this problem I tried the solutions proposed on the network (usually it is suggested to write \lyxframeend after each slide, however this does not work.

When I want to see the pdf I keep out the irritating and frustrating following error:" \lyxframeend
{}
The control sequence at the end of the top line
of your error message was never \def'ed. If you have
misspelled it (e.g., `\hobx'), type `I' and the correct
spelling (e.g., `I\hbox'). Otherwise just continue,
and I'll forget about whatever was undefined."

Thanks in advance

I don't know if this is related to your problem but a recent update to the geometry package caused some conflicts for beamer.

I had some problems with beamer a few days ago but went to
http://www.ctan.org/pub/tex-archive/mac ... amer/base/
downloaded beamerbasecompatibility.sty (note that it was updated just in February, whereas most of the rest of the package is from 2007) and over-wrote the existing beamerbasecompatibility.sty in MikTeX.

See
http://www.tug.org/pipermail/tex-live/2 ... 24834.html
and
http://www.tug.org/pipermail/tex-live/2 ... html#24927
for more details.

There's an alternative fix, which is to add some code before
\documentclass but I don't think this is possible in LyX (although you could always export to straight latex and then add the code in TeXworks or whatever). This alternative is discussed here

As an aside, personally I prefer using ERT to add \begin{frame},
\frametitle{Your title here} and \end{frame} directly, instead of using the lyxframe commands, since it leads to a "purer" latex output, but this is just a matter of taste.
