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.
