Yes. Different latex "flavours" accept different graphics formats:
`latex` accepts EPS but no PDF
`pdflatex` accepts PDF, JPEG, PNG, ... but no EPS
What is the original format of the picture 17ubar_pub?
If it is PDF or PNG, then try to export to "LaTeX (pdflatex)" and compile
with pdflatex.

* LyX runs latex and, if required auxiliary commands like bibtex,
makeindex, ... and again latex (up to three times).
* LyX converts pictures so it is accepted by the converter program
(latex, pdflatex, xelatex, or lualatex).
* LyX runs postprocessors like ps2pdf to get a PDF from the Postscript
document generated by "plain" latex.
* ...
In short, everything required to generate the output document.
There are advanced LaTeX editors that do the same.
