Re: Lyx stuck generating PDFs
Hi everyone, it seems like it really was something Python-related. I reconfigured Lyx and now everything works perfectly. Very weird as this was a fresh installation that worked smoothly out of the box and only after a week, with no update or package installation that I recall. But if it is a Python-related problem, why is that pdflatex was invoked and running, although stuck waiting for some kind of condition? Thanks everyone. - Julio Rojas jcredbe...@gmail.com On Thu, Jun 13, 2013 at 10:15 PM, Scott Kostyshak skost...@lyx.org wrote: Am Thursday, 13.

Re: Lyx stuck generating PDFs
Julio, I'd like to take a crack at this. Could you please send me a copy of this minimal example file? Also Julio, what happens when you generate .dvi? What happens when you generate .ps?

Lyx stuck generating PDFs
Dear all, I am having a very weird behaviour on Lyx 2.0.6. When I try to generate any PDF, even the simplest one, nothing happens. I can see PDFLatex running in the background, eating some processor, but nothing to be worried about. This keeps going on until a message telling me that the command pdflatex newfile1.tex has not yet completed appears. If I export a LaTeX document from this same file and run pdflatex on it, everything works smoothly. Is there any way of knowing what is happening?
