First of all, my apologies Paul, for not answering earlier. I had problems
sending the question and I thought it never went through.
Matthieu, no luck yet. I keep a local copy of my project, so I can create the
pdfs from lyx.
The error shown in the LaTex Errors windows is:"Package pdftex.def
Error: File `0_media_H_Projects_Cancun_Docs_Presentati"
I don't know how to get a more complete error message.
I've tried entering the path with an absolute and a relative path, none
of them worked. The preview of the pdf looks fine, in case it makes a
difference.
The code in lyx looks like:
\begin{figure}
\caption{TheTitle}
\includegraphics{/media/H/Projects/Cancun/Docs/Presentation/Figures/harvbau1}
\end{figure}
I've also tried inserting it as External Material, the preview looks
fine, but Lyx crashes immediately after pressing the pdf button.
If anybody has any ideas on how to fix it, I would really appreciate.
This problem is obliging me to keep a copy of the full project on my
hard drive.
Clara

Hi
I have the same problem as documented here (also Ubuntu 10.4 but Lyx 1.6.5) :
can't include a graphic if on a samba share.
The error message is not very verbose:
Package pdftex.def: Error File (file path....)
The path is:
/media/S/.../pdf/Chap_1_Fig_1_cer_prices.pdf
The pronostic of P Rubin seems verified, in the sense that the file does not
seem to be copied into the /tmp/... folder.
Clara, could you resolve the problem in the meanwhile? Any idea?
Thanks!

What is the full error message for one of the files, and exactly how is
the file path entered into the graphics widget in LyX? LyX needs to
copy all included files to the temp directory (deliberately fiddling
with their names), and chances are the files from the Samba share are
not being copied correctly, but the question is why.
