Yes, I took some time to finally enable tex2lyx to handle the beamer
format we have since LyX 2.0 (especially the "overlay" inset stuff).
The work is finished, has landed in master and will be part of stable
at least with LyX 2.3.2 (depending on how urgent a 2.3.1 will be). Most
beamer presentations should be imported now without problems (but there
might be corner cases I have missed).

Dear Jürgen,

I am back now to answer your questions:

- Was the file your son created a pure LaTeX file? >> Yes!

- I take it that you imported it into LyX. >> Yes!

And yes again, it is a Beamer presentation and that probably explains 
what I am facing here. I recall that I could indeed open and convert 
previous documents not even knowing that my son had to use Windows 
(because that is mandatory)


I learn now that you are already working on this problem, thanks for that.
Moreover, let me take this opportunity to thank you for continuously 
providing the domain of linguistics with so many great enhancements.

Was the file your son created a pure LaTeX file? Or was it a LyX
file? If the former, I take it
that you imported it into LyX.


And if it's a beamer presentation, the chance it fails is high. The 
import of beamer documents in LyX is still very shaky (particularly 
due to the overlay arguments), but we're working presently on the issue.

Well Kornel and Richard,

that makes it very clear. Sorry for the noise and my unprofessional 
questioning.

Seems so. The structure and content of a lyx file does not depend on the
operating system, but of course, it depends on the used lyx-version. Therefore
your son also has to use lyx.

Apparently we did not understand your problem.

If the former, I take it
that you imported it into LyX.

Either way, if you want to send me, privately, the file your son sent
you, then I can have a look
and see if I can figure out what's wrong.

You then end up with a lot of errors that look like:

Possibly this could be due to different versions of the mdframed

Possibly this could be due to different versions of the mdframed package

Oh, whoops, yes. In that case, we definitely need to log file.

Probably you do not have certain packages installed, though I gather

It is the other way round: document produced with miktex but read with

Probably you do not have certain packages installed, though I gather
that MiKTeX is
supposed to install them on the fly. In any event, if you can post the
errors you are
getting, then we can help. Go to Document> LaTeX Log. You can either cut
and paste
what's there, or hit "Open Containing Directory" and attach the *.log file.

Thanks Uwe and Kornel,

I am somewhat puzzled. My son sent me a LyX document produced on his 
Windows laptop.


I opened it with LyX under Linux but got heaps of errors when trying to 
compile it to PDF.


What am I getting wrong here?

There should be no difference regarding lyx.
Documents are written by lyx, not be MikTeX or TeXLive.
Even exported to latex source is the same on all platforms.

A LyX document is agnostic to the particular LaTeX distribution you use. 
As long as you have the packages used by the LyX document installed 
under both MiKTeX and TeXLive, you should be able to compile the LyX 
document with either.
