Re: Dead lyx

[udi]

Sorry-- I made a mistake: it was Lubuntu 18.04, not 18.10.  Yes, as I mentioned in the original post, pdflatex compiles tex files just tine, but Lyx cannot compile its old files.  I tried to run Lyx from the terminal, as Scott suggested, but that did not help-- there were no illuminating error messages.  However, when I try to click Cntrl-R to compile a Lyx file, I see a message: "Command disabled" at the bottom of the Lyx window.  Perhaps that is a clue to Lyx Mavens?

Is Lubuntu 18.10 in alpha? Now Latex works fine (through Texworks) but Lyx does not. I reinstalled and reconfigured lyx, but cannot compile anything. I am sure similar panicky complaints have been seen here before-- can someone tell me what to do? I clicked on Check latex but got back: cannot run chcktex, or some such useless response. I can run pdflatex from the terminal and it works fine. Somehow, Lyx has to find out about my Texdead. Thanks, Ehud Kaplan Have you tried running lyx from the terminal? It may be, that the used PATH from the desktop is not set to the (probably) new texlive path. Also, can you compile a simple .tex file on the command line with pdflatex?
