Have you looked in /usr/share/lyx/examples/de ? This would be the right place in a standard installation on a Linux system. Michael
Re: Lyx doesn't compile but Export Tex then pdfLatex does

A Beamer file I often use for my presentation does not compile any more on my Windows machine since Lyx (v2.1.3) says it cannot find the graphic files I use for the logo. Moving them to the .lyx file directory doe not fix the problem, but commenting the \logo instruction does. The even stranger thing is that using File / Export / Latex (pfdLatex) on my Windows machine and then running "pdfLatex test.tex" works correctly! Gilles, I know less than nothing about windoze since I stopped using it in 1997. But, I can report that lyx/beamer documents on linux, lyx/knitr documents, and PSTricks graphics all compile using pdflatex when they will not preview using dvips. This makes sense when we think about it: if the documents are intended to result in PDF files, then the driver should be pdxlinux. But, the preview using ctrl-p is in PostScript, not PDF format and other than regular text/graphics documents in LyX might not properly display. Avoid the preview and look only at the pdxlatex-compiled output. Rich

However, I see that you use ERT. In this case, you must give the full path to the files, because LyX does not know about them and thus won't copy them to the temporary directory. Does using the full path to all files work? If not, can you please create a minimal example as I reference above? Best, Scott

It is inside the application bundle. From your app root, your file is here: /LyX.app/Contents/Resources/examples/de/beispiel_roh.lyx You have to first Control-click on the application icon and then select Show Package Contents, then follow the above path with more clicking. At one point, either the examples or templates folders—I can't remember which— did not have the correct paths set to it. You can check this out in the preferences. Open Preferences, click on Paths, and see what is in the fields for Document templates and Example files. They should be /path/to/LyX/LyX.app/Contents/Resources/templates/ /path/to/LyX//LyX.app/Contents/Resources/examples/ So you will by now have noticed that the templates are similarly placed inside the app bundle.
