No clue though as to why I had to take the extra step of adding

Yes, you need to run (as root presumably)

fmtutil --all

or

fmtutil --byengine pdftex
fmtutil --byengine luatex

to regenerate the formats.

I added the line as per your suggestion. Unfortunately, pdflatex still

Anything I need to do additionally, i.e. to activate the new config file?

... and if no such file is there, you need to create it, as indeed (and

Try the following:

Find the configuration file pdftexconfig.tex in the terminal via

kpsewhich pdftexconfig.tex

In this file, check if there is the line

\pdfoutput   = 1

If it's not there, or if the value differs (specifically: 0), then
add/change it.

No, that is not at all what it should do. If that's happening from the
command line, then there is some problem with your LaTeX installation.

This might help:

https://tex.stackexchange.com/questions/53600/pdflatex-producing-dvi-output-instead-of-pdf

You might also try posting about the issue there, as that is kind of old.

In the sort term, you can add the argument "--output-format=pdf" to the
converter for "LaTeX (pdflatex) to PDF (pdflatex)" under Tools>
Preferences> Converters. I.e., make the converter:

    pdflatex --output-format=pdf $$i

Hopefully, that will work.

Ok, here's something I (just) noticed: pdflatex, when run without
arguments, produces a .dvi file from HelloWorld.tex. It is only if I
specify "-output-format=pdf" that it creates a .pdf file.

 From what I understand, this is not what pdflatex should normally do.

I'm losing track of what all we've looked at. If you have not already 
done so, can you post the .tex file here? There is a way to put a 
comment (I think) in a .tex file that will tell pdftex or pdflatex to 
generate a DVI rather than a PDF file.

Dear all,

I am using LyX 2.3.3 on Ubuntu 18.04 (and i have been doing so

On the new machine, LyX fails to export pdf files via pdflatex and
LuaTeX. There is no pdf file after running export. The only thing that
does work is using ps2pdf.

Here's the message output from Lyx:

Any idea what might be wrong?

Oh yeah... running pdflatex (manually) on LaTeX code produced by LyX
does work.


Does Document > View work (produce a viewable PDF document) with the
pdflatex or LuaTeX formats? If so, when export fails, does it leave a
PDF file in the LyX temp directory?

I'm wondering whether LyX successfully compiles the PDF file in the
temp directory but then fails to copy or move it to the target
directory.

Paul


No, Document -> View (pdflatex) produces nothing either. Nor does the
LuaTeX way. LyX leaves no pdf file in the temp dir. It just leaves .aux,
.dvi,. log, .tex and .dep-pdf files.

Martin


If you open a terminal in the temp directory and run pdflatex against
the .tex file, does it compile? If not, is there a meaningful error
message in the terminal?

Paul


Yes, it does. There is no error.

Martin


Okay, what follows is definitely grasping at straws. From a clean start 
of LyX, load the HelloWord.lyx file and try to either view or export a 
PDF. Presumably this will fail. Copy the LaTeX .log file in the LyX temp

That's all there is. And even if I delete the aux file, LyX can't create
a pdf.

It seems to have grabbed an existing .aux file from your desktop (as

Kornel was correct about the .dvi file being a clue. When I compile your 
HelloWorld example here, the corresponding line shows a .pdf file being 
written, as one would expect.


The target (pdf2) is correct, so I'm at a loss as to why the output file 
has the wrong type.

Neither could I. As the last try I recommend to use the debug feature.
$ lyx -dbg files,latex
to see, what and how lyx calls the latex commands.

Yes, it looks related. Apparently the 'pdflatex' called from lyx

Maybe the environment used by lyx is different from the one if you
compile
manually.

1.) Could you start lyx from the terminal?

1. Yes.

I meant, is it working if restarted from terminal?

No. Same result.



2.) does the '.lyx' directory contain *.lst files (11 files) and

clsFiles.lst looks too small compared to full installed texlive

That's weird. I definitely did a full texlive install (apt-get install
texlive-full). I also purged that due to the problems with LyX, cleared
the apt-get cache and reinstalled it - but to no avail.

Martin




The lock file is a bit odd. I would expect that to be deleted after
configuration completed.

It might help to see the contents of configure.log. Possibly something
went splat during the configuration process.

Paul


Please find the configuration file attached.

Martin


Well, I cannot find anything suspicious in the log. In particular, the 
configuration script seems to have exited without problems. You have an 
older LaTeX version than I do (I'm also using TeXLive), but I don't 
think that should be a problem.

No, Document -> View (pdflatex) produces nothing either. Nor does
the
LuaTeX way. LyX leaves no pdf file in the temp dir. It just
leaves .aux,
.dvi,. log, .tex and .dep-pdf files.

Martin

That (.dvi) is the clue probably. Select different output in
Document->Settings...->Formats->Default output format: -> PDF
(pdflatex)

 Kornel


No, I'm afraid that's not it. pdflatex keeps throwing the assertion
error message, when run through LyX, regardless of what I choose as
the
default output format.

Still I think Kornel picked up on an important clue: we need to figure
out why there's a .dvi file in the temporary directory. If you exit LyX
and start LyX again (which should use a fresh temp dir), and compile a
simple .lyx file, can you confirm that there's a .dvi in the temporary
directory?

Scott


Positive. There's a .dvi file in the (new) temporary directory after I
choose File->Export->PDF (pdflatex).


Do you have an entry for "LaTeX (pdflatex) -> PDF (pdflatex)" in Tools

Preferences... > File Handling > Converters and, if so, what do the

"Converter:" and "Extra flag:" boxes say?

Paul


I do. The entries are as follows.

Converter: pdflatex $$i

Extra flag: latex=pdflatex

Martin

That looks okay to me. I have one other flag (hyperref-driver=pdftex), 
but I don't think it is required and I doubt it is related to your issues.

That's weird. I definitely did a full texlive install (apt-get install
texlive-full). I also purged that due to the problems with LyX, cleared
the apt-get cache and reinstalled it - but to no avail.

Yes, it looks related. Apparently the 'pdflatex' called from lyx does not create
the required pdf file to be used to display the image.
Maybe the environment used by lyx is different from the one if you compile
manually.

1.) Could you start lyx from the terminal?
2.) does the '.lyx' directory contain *.lst files (11 files) and configure.log
3.) Are the dates of these files newer compared to the install date of lyx?
4.) Does removing .lyx dir and restarting lyx create this dir again?

 Still I think Kornel picked up on an important clue: we need to figure
 out why there's a .dvi file in the temporary directory. If you exit LyX
 and start LyX again (which should use a fresh temp dir), and compile a
 simple .lyx file, can you confirm that there's a .dvi in the temporary
 directory?

My lyx user dir is ".lyx". But there is no preferences file.

I just noticed another strange phenomenon. When I try to include an
image in my .lyx document, I just get a LaTeX error ("Cannot determine
size of graphic in..." when exporting to pdflatex.  This is new as well.
The issues might be related.

 No, I'm afraid that's not it. pdflatex keeps throwing the assertion

In addition to Paul's question, can you send us your preferences file?
It is a text file and you can find its location by going to Help > About

No, Document -> View (pdflatex) produces nothing either. Nor does the
LuaTeX way. LyX leaves no pdf file in the temp dir. It just leaves .aux,
.dvi,. log, .tex and .dep-pdf files.

Martin

That (.dvi) is the clue probably. Select different output in

No, I'm afraid that's not it. pdflatex keeps throwing the assertion
error message, when run through LyX, regardless of what I choose as the
default output format.

Still I think Kornel picked up on an important clue: we need to figure
out why there's a .dvi file in the temporary directory. If you exit LyX
and start LyX again (which should use a fresh temp dir), and compile a
simple .lyx file, can you confirm that there's a .dvi in the temporary
directory?

Positive. There's a .dvi file in the (new) temporary directory after I
choose File->Export->PDF (pdflatex).

Still I think Kornel picked up on an important clue: we need to figure
out why there's a .dvi file in the temporary directory. If you exit LyX
and start LyX again (which should use a fresh temp dir), and compile a
simple .lyx file, can you confirm that there's a .dvi in the temporary
directory?

No, I'm afraid that's not it. pdflatex keeps throwing the assertion
error message, when run through LyX, regardless of what I choose as the
default output format.

Does Document > View work (produce a viewable PDF document) with the
pdflatex or LuaTeX formats? If so, when export fails, does it leave a
PDF file in the LyX temp directory?

I'm wondering whether LyX successfully compiles the PDF file in the
temp directory but then fails to copy or move it to the target directory.

Paul


No, Document -> View (pdflatex) produces nothing either. Nor does the
LuaTeX way. LyX leaves no pdf file in the temp dir. It just leaves .aux,
.dvi,. log, .tex and .dep-pdf files.

Martin

If you open a terminal in the temp directory and run pdflatex against 
the .tex file, does it compile? If not, is there a meaningful error 
message in the terminal?

That (.dvi) is the clue probably. Select different output in

I have tried both the Ubuntu repo version (which is 2.2) and the version
from ppa:lyx-devel/release. Neither version works.

I get no error dialog. The message pane either contains said assertion
error or no error at all (though there is no pdf file afterwards).

Thanks for the example file. As you probably expected, it compiles fine
on my computer (although it was good to check). 

How did you install LyX? Did you install it from the Ubuntu repository,
or a PPA, or did you manually compile?

When you do the export, do you get an error dialog? What does the
message pane say right after doing the export?

The line about the assertion in your output means that LyX did not
detect an error when exporting but at the same time there is no export
file. So LyX is just as confused as we are it seems.

Best,

Scott

Sure thing... here you go. But it's really just any .lyx file.

Running pdflatex manually yields a zero exit code (and thus, a .pdf file).

Thanks for your help,

Hi Martin,

When you run pdflatex manually on LaTeX code produced by LyX,
does it have a non-zero exit code?

Can you send a .lyx minimal example file that reproduces the error?

Best,

Yes, this is an error because of missing support for the Greek script in
text.

In Debian, this is solved by installing the package texlive-lang-greek.
In Kubuntu, it should be the same (or something similar).
`apt-file` should work in Kubuntu, too.

I would object to documents defining Font pslatex to be typeset with lmodern
automatically.

However, I would like lmodern to appear in the drop down list and I would
like it to appear at first position.

you are comparing two different things, pslatex has nothing
to do with latin modern fonts.

see above, when a user wants times you can say take lm fonts.

If you really need the default computer modern font, get the

Make sure that you embed the fonts in your document.
For example, were you to use ps2pdf, you might use this:
ps2pdf -dMaxSubsetPct=100 -dCompatibilityLevel=1.2 -dSubsetFonts=true 
-dEmbedAllFonts=true

Some version of ps2pdf have bugs when using level 1.2.
In fact, it is probably suffices to use 'ps2pdf13' instead of the above.

Re: PDF Export

[Myriam Abramson]

  Does anyone knows from which version of Lyx on,
  it was possible to export to pdf?
 
 1.1.6
 
  And what packages exactly do I need to do so?
 
 You just need ghostscript or pdflatex.

Do I need to convert all the included graphics from .eps to .pdf as
well or does it do it automatically?

If you use ps2pdf (i.e export-PDF), then you don't need to convert the
graphics to PDF.
Also, in lyx = 1.2.0, you don't need to convert the graphics when using
pdflatex.

Since 1.2.* it is done automagically, but in 1.1.6fix4 you needed
to create copies of all eps files in pdf (with epstopdf) and then
use the name of the picture without extension. You have to then
set graphics package with particular driver.

To make it short: I think you are better with LyX 1.2.1. :-)

If you use ps2pdf (i.e export->PDF), then you don't need to convert the
graphics to PDF.
Also, in lyx >= 1.2.0, you don't need to convert the graphics when using
pdflatex.
