Hello, I have a very strange problem in which the successful processing of a simple LyX file to a dvi file depends on the location of the LyX file and the location of the png image file it contains. If I move either the LyX file or the png file to different directories the files process correctly to a dvi file.
I'm trying to track down the cause of the problem. If I look in the LyX temporary directory, eg, /tmp/lyx_tmpdir.../lyx_tmpbuf0, it seems that the png file is not being converted to an eps file for the problematic path names (the eps file in the /tmp/lyx_tmpdir.../lyx_tmpbuf0 has zero size). This is causing LaTeX to fail, and then LyX to fail. I think the problem is associated with a recent update of deb packages for imagemagick-6-common and libimage-magick-perl as everything worked fine a few days ago before the update. However, if I navigate into the /tmp/lyx_tmpdir.../lyx_tmpbuf0 directory I can run convert long_file_name.png long_file_file.eps to successfully create an eps file from the png file, so I've no idea why convert seems to be failing when it's run by LyX. Can anyone suggest how I might be able to find the root of the problem. Thanks, Paul PS. I'm using Kubuntu 22.04 TLS and LyX Version 2.3.6 with Qt Version (run-time): 5.15.3
