Re: lyx2lyx fails to convert

2022-08-21 Thread Tim Garrett

Excellent. Thanks Stephan and Paul.

/System/Volumes/Data/Applications/LyX.app/Contents/Resources/lyx2lyx/lyx2lyx 
-v Contrast\ paper.lyx  > Test.lyx


produced a document Test.lyx that could be read by LyX 2.3.6.2.

This converted document was fairly recent (2016) so fingers crossed it 
works too on older documents as well.

Another option is to use the message pane in LyX:

1. Start LyX
2. Activate Message Pane (menu item of the View menu)
3. Switch to the Settings tab
4. Choose „Selected“ at left and „info“ at right.
5. Open the file „Contrast paper.lyx“
6. Check the Output contents of the Message Pane

In case it’s a python problem the following command and it’s

$ /usr/bin/env python --version
Python 3.8.13

There does not seem to be any problem with the header. I created an 
empty LyX document with it, and the lyx2lyx script had no issues 
processing it. So the problem must be in the document body.


You can try the following. Find the lyx2lyx executable on your 
system. On Debian based Linux systems, it defaults to 
/usr/share/lyx/lyx2lyx/lyx2lyx. I have no idea where it is on a Mac, 
so I'll just refer to the equivalent string as "". In a 
terminal window, run


 -v 

which should print the converted document line by line in the 
terminal window. If it gorks, hopefully you will be able to see what 
it choked on and possibly an error message, which you can bring back 
to the list.

Hi Tim,

do you have any progress with your issue?

Did you update Monterey recently? Do you have a working Python 
installation?

Hi Tim,

you have to change your command - lyx2lyx is a folder in Resources:

$ /System/Volumes/Data/Applications/LyX.app/Contents/Resources/lyx2lyx/lyx2lyx 
-v Contrast\ paper.lyx > /dev/null
…

In case it’s a python problem the following command and it’s output is of

$ /usr/bin/env python --version

You can try the following. Find the lyx2lyx executable on your 
system. On Debian based Linux systems, it defaults to 
/usr/share/lyx/lyx2lyx/lyx2lyx. I have no idea where it is on a Mac, 
so I'll just refer to the equivalent string as "". In a

 -v 

which should print the converted document line by line in the

it choked on and possibly an error message, which you can bring back 
to the list.

Running MacOS Monterrey and getting this error message trying to open 
old lyx files as recent as 2016:


“file.lyx is from an older version of LyX and the lyx2lyx script 
failed to convert it.”


Unclear what to do from online forums. Any advice? I’m not a 
developer, so step-by-step would be appreciated. I have tried 
installing old versions of lyx but without success. Below is the lyx 
preamble


Thanks

Tim

There does not seem to be any problem with the header. I created an 
empty LyX document with it, and the lyx2lyx script had no issues 
processing it. So the problem must be in the document body.


You can try the following. Find the lyx2lyx executable on your system. 
On Debian based Linux systems, it defaults to 
/usr/share/lyx/lyx2lyx/lyx2lyx. I have no idea where it is on a Mac, so 
I'll just refer to the equivalent string as "". In a terminal 
window, run


 -v 

which should print the converted document line by line in the terminal 
window. If it gorks, hopefully you will be able to see what it choked on 
and possibly an error message, which you can bring back to the list.

Oh well, I can't reproduce it any longer. I tried several times yesterday and 
failed, eventually resorting to the hack I described. Today, of course, the 
direct conversion from within Lyx worked liked a charm.
I suppose it'll go down in my book as another Lyx mystery.

I have more files to convert in the next few days. I'll post a short example is 
something goes wrong again.

Cheers,
