You tried to latex the lyx file. The lyx file uses lyx's native format which is not tex or latex. You can generate output using the menus View -> DVI or View -> Postscript, etc. (provided the required s/w is installed on your system, i.e., xdvi, dvips, gv, etc.) If you really want to do it yourself, you need to export the lyx file as latex: File -> Export -> Latex This will create, for your example, newfile1.tex. Now you can do a latex newfile1.tex to generate newfile1.dvi. Hope this helps.
