Glad you got it figured out! Indeed, it can take some time to narrow
down the issue, but it sounds like you got to the bottom of it.

For your curiosity, it's true that LyX changed to now report BibTeX
errors. See

  http://wiki.lyx.org/LyX.NewInLyX22

or Help > About LyX > Release Notes:

  BibTeX errors are now processed and cause LyX to show the errors dialog.
  Before, these errors were ignored, which means that it may happen that
  documents that compiled without error with a previous version now
  compile with error. However, because now in 2.2.x users can click on the
  "Show Output Anyway" button, the document can still be viewed.

Hey Scott et al.,

Thank you for your patience -- and in fact that seemingly simple process
led me to the discovery of the problem. Apparently the new version of lyx
treated some technical errors in my bib file that were not creating or
showing a problem before, but these errors are obviously still wrong. My
bib file is ~560 pages, so I went through and discovered were they are --
and now it seems to work, great!

Can you send a minimal example to the list? In this case it would be a
.lyx file and a .bib file. For more information, see

Hey Lyx Users,

Thank you very much for the reply. I actually didn't receive a reply
earlier and I checked my spam, so perhaps also copy my gmail (
christos.a.makri...@gmail.com) as well.

I had tried taking out the comma from the citation that Scott mentioned
from the earlier post, but it doesn't solve the problem. I repeated it
again and am including the error message. Just to be clear, the bib file
was working fine on the earlier lyx version -- it's just the most recent
one creating the problem.

I have four LyX v. 2.1 documents that differ only by the citation 
styles: oscola, apa, chicago, jurabib and all use the same bibtex 
generated bibliography.
When I started using the document(s) in LyX v. 2.2.1 compilation of the 
first three went fine as before but the one with jurabib threw the error 
in discussion.


After many aimless attempts I could not resolve the problem and decided 
to ask the list when I saw Jürgens advice.


The culprit in my case quite similarly was the wrong syntax of the 
author list of one single entry in the KBibTeX database


Changing the author list
from
author = {{Cole, Peter} and {Hermon, Gebriella}},
to
author = {Cole, Peter and Hermon, Gabriella},
did it.

Thank you Jürgen and cheers,
Michael

Hey Lyx Community,

First time emailing the general list, so apologies if there's something I
am overlooking. I am a PhD candidate at Stanford working in economics and a
big fan of Lyx because of how easy it makes editing while still retaining
the flexibility and beautiful typesetting inherent in Latex.

The recent 2.2.2 version seems to produce a problem with my .bib file. In
particular, when I PDF my document, it gives a series of errors (see below).

[image: Inline image 1]

I have spent quite a bit of time diagnosing the errors. First, I want to
note in case it is not clear that these errors never arise in previous
versions -- and I am still using 1.2.2 now because this newer version isn't
working for me. Second, it appears that one of the problems is when the
word "and" is in the citation; then double braces can partially remedy the
problem. I am not sure about the first three errors that came up though.

Just to give an example of one of my citations, see below.

@article{JaimovichSiu:highskilled,

technical change}},

author={Jaimovich, Nir, and Siu, Henry E.},

Does anyone know what the source of the problem is and/or a remedy?

Hello,

I have the same problem and the previous answer does not solve much.

In fact, I have tried changing the graphics driver (Document class / Graphics

DVI and Postscript; even a combination of these techniques do not solve the 
problem.

I also tried removing and reinstalling package psnfs which holds the files 
upzd.fd and upsy.fd .

I am running Microsoft Windows XP with MikTex 2.9.3478 and LyX 1.6.8 (for 
Windows).

The only solution I have found, for the moment, is to replace the file 
pifont.sty with courier.sty. I think replace the file with any other working 
font should work.

The exact error I get with the standard pifont.sty is the following (it is the

PDF error converting to loadable format

[Richard Brown]

I do  Insert External Files  PDF and select my pdf. I add the pages
options for all of the pages (there are 2). Lyx burbles a little, and then
spits the error message at me:
 error converting to loadable format. The file was prepared by a friend on
Windows from a  Sibelius music notation file.

If I examine the pdf file properties  I see the following:
Format PDF-1.4
Producer GPL Ghostscript 8.70
Creator PDFCreator Version 0.9.9

What might be going wrong?


I'm using Komascript Book under lyx 1.6.4 on ubuntu 9.04.

Export to PDF should work fine, it is just the preview.
If you have ghostscript version 8.70, then the issue is a bug in gs.
Here is a workaround from a previous post

This seems to be a result of the bug reported here
https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/imagemagick/+bug/487637

Copy the script convertDefault.py from /Applications/LyX.app/Contents/ 
Resources/scripts


Comment out the lines

opts = '-define pdf:use-cropbox=true ' + opts

Try putting the pdf file in the temp. folder of your lyx file. Long time 
ago I found from the mailing list that lyx doesn't copy the pdf file 
into the temp. directory automatically therefore you get an error. I 
don't know if there was some other fix to this but I just copy the pdf  
file that I want to attach manually in the temp. folder and this works.

Re: PDF error converting to loadable format

[Richard Brown]

Thanks for this. By following your instructions I managed to a) see the pdf
in lyx on screen and b) generate a DVI file. But the  place where the pdf
should be is empty. If however I c) try to generate a pdf from pdflatex, lyx
just goes into an endless loop, from which I can only exit by forcing a
program quit.

On the other hand there is not link on old site to new site:

However on one of CTAN mirrors there is 8.71:

That was after adding an TeX code for another footnoteB (from the - 
loaded - manyfoot package), because I'm using for that the handout 
(tufte) layout because of the many sidenotes I need.


But because - at a certain point, when LaTeX (via LyX) said too many 
floats - I changed to the TeX-box \footnoteB command to get a real 
footnote. Which normally gives the planned result.


If the error message The file doesn't exist ... .pdf is a known

I found out by trial and error, that I deleted the last TeX inset 
\footnoteB{...}, (but after many other trials, even after clothing and 
reopening LyX, after deleting the LyX - /tmp ... xyz-files and so on).


Regained functionality of LyX in making and showing a pdf result, I 
reintroduced the TeX-inset \footnoteB and it worked.


Fine for the project. But Question:

But because - at a certain point, when LaTeX (via LyX) said too many  
floats - I changed to the TeX-box \footnoteB command to get a real  
footnote. Which normally gives the planned result.


If the error message The file doesn't exist ... .pdf is a known  
problem, I ask:


== how to come out of this situation best?

I found out by trial and error, that I deleted the last TeX inset  
\footnoteB{...}, (but after many other trials, even after clothing  
and reopening LyX, after deleting the LyX - /tmp ... xyz-files and so  
on).


Regained functionality of LyX in making and showing a pdf result, I  
reintroduced the TeX-inset \footnoteB and it worked.


Fine for the project. But Question:

= are there reasons for that behaviour of LyX and/or other ways than  
just trying out, deleting the last inset(s) and remaking them?


== What might be the reason of the LaTeX-error about too many  
flouts when inserting footnotes = sidenotes in the handout  
(tufte) class, even if on the page where I am working and on the  
horizontal space on the margin there is place enough for another  
footnote=sidenote?

view pdf error: the file doesn't exist - what to do?

[Joachim Kreimer-de Fries]

Moin Lyxers,

not for the first time I got today an LyX when clicking show pdf an  
error message:


Die Datei existiert nicht:
(I suppose in english: The file doesn't exist:)
/tmp/lyx_tmpdir.L12205/lyx_tmpbuf1/Lyra-Pracher-odt-teil.pdf

That was after adding an TeX code for another footnoteB (from the -  
loaded - manyfoot package), because I'm using for that the handout  
(tufte) layout because of the many sidenotes I need.

"view pdf" error: "the file doesn't exist" - what to do?

[Joachim Kreimer-de Fries]

Moin Lyxers,

not for the first time I got today an LyX when clicking "show pdf" an  
error message:

/tmp/lyx_tmpdir.L12205/lyx_tmpbuf1/Lyra-Pracher-odt-teil.pdf

That was after adding an TeX code for another "footnoteB" (from the -  
loaded - manyfoot package), because I'm using for that the "handout  
(tufte)" layout because of the many sidenotes I need.


But because - at a certain point, when LaTeX (via LyX) said "too many

Running ps2pdf on the graphic first did the trick for me.

pdflatex needs pdf-file format for the images. choose
the script from steffen.

Put the following lines in ~/.dvipsrc , and you will be able to produce
pretty PDF with ps2pdf

p +bsr.map
p +bsr-interpolated.map
p +hoekwater.map
