Problem compiling document to Postscript
I have a large book-sized document with several child documents. I use LyX 2.0.3 on Kubuntu 12.04. I need to compile the file to postscript for further conversion ahead of printing. The compilation stops with no meaningful error messages (at least for me). The log may indicate problems with images. I mostly use JPG. I have converted some images to eps after these messages, but the file wont compile anyway. Should I substitute all JPG images with eps? The strange thing is that the file compiles OK to postscript on Windows 7 (LyX 2.0.3). Other very similar documents compiles OK to postscript on Kubuntu. Other formats such as PDFLaTeX work OK. I don‘t know even how to begin look for a solution. Any suggestions are appreciated! Regards Påvel
Re: MiKTeX won't download with LyX
To get around this problem, you need to install MiKTeX first. Then you install the standard installer ftp://ftp.lyx.org/pub/lyx/bin/2.0.3/LyX-2.0.3-2- Installer.exe and when it asks you what Latex system to use you select the directory you installed MiKTeX to.

Re: Problem compiling document to Postscript
Thank You for your suggestions! I don't think that the culprit is ImageMagick, since several very similar documents with lots of JPG:s compile to ps without any problem. I will test to reinstall ImageMagick however. I have removed parts of the documents and managed to get some child documents to compile by converting images to .eps. Now I am stuck on a part where I have changed the images to .eps, but LyX still refuses to compile to ps correctly. The resulting ps-file opens, but is faulty: pages and images are not showing and images are misplaced. I have noticed that, my pdf-reader, Okular, uses a lot of power while showing the ps-file and even seems to freeze. Perhaps there is something wrong here, but Okular works fine with all other documents and ps-files. The logs does not say much, just that there may be problems with some image (even images that transfers well). The logs are surprisingly clean for such faulty behvaiour. I see if I can catch something useful to post. Since the manuscript must be delivered real soon I think that I have to do the final work in Windows and postpone some of the bughunt until after the deadline. I believe this is very strange and I intend to find out where the fault is.

I cannot change the default strings 'Contents', 'List of Figures', etc. that are
generated as titles of these sections. I have tried putting in the preamble
commands of the type:
\renewcommand{\contentsname}{Table of Contents}
But nothing works. I am typing in English without the babel package.

Hi ddiedrichs,
I reproduced your symptom in an article based document, putting
\renewcommand{\contentsname}{Table of Contents} in the document
preamble, as you would expect it should be. Like you, my document
continued to print the table of contents title as Contents. So then I
exported to LaTeX, fooled around with it, and discovered it works only
if \renewcommand{\contentsname}{Table of Contents} is in the document
itself, not the document header.
So I went back into LyX, removed \renewcommand{\contentsname}{Table of
Contents} from the document preamble, and put it in an ERT before the
Table of Contents, and it did the right thing.
I'm attaching a 1.8K example LyX file that properly changes the
contents name.
If this solves your problem, please reply and mark the subject as
SOLVED so others who follow you know what to do. I found this to be
very surprising behavior.
Thanks

The problem is likely that babel IS being loaded by LyX. I see the same
problem, unless I disable the language package under Document Settings
Language.
I'm not sure why we load babel after the user preamble. This seems
wrong, for this reason.
