It seems from the path of the call to gzip.py that you are using a version of 
python different from the system one. That is why I suspect that you have two 
python versions installed.

The system install python into /usr not /usr/local and it seems that that is 
precisely what you are using and thus the error.

FWIW the zlib module is present, in 64 bit install (x86-64), at

That being said, I always thought LyX was supposed to convert even my
LyX 1.4.x files to modern format. In other words, I hope no developers
ever becomes complacent with LyX only converting formats from the last
couple years.


Actually, lyx2lyx converts file from version 0.6. But there has to be 
bugs. And if we find'em, we fix'em.

Thank you.

I have attached an example file (I am not able to get any of my other files
to open either). I can't remember what version the file is from. It is
likely the version immediately before 2.1.0 because I created the file
within the last month.

I am running a 64-bit Fedora operating system and I am using the LyX

Hugh,

  If others could open the file it suggests that there's something wrong
with your installation. Try removing and re-installing lyx-2.1 if you've not
already done so.

  Just for giggles, can you run pdflatex on that file from the command line

I suspect that this could be related with the failure to load some beamer 
documents that was fixed by Jürgen recently.

I have built a new release with all the recent fixes:

http://koji.fedoraproject.org/koji/buildinfo?buildID=514543

it should be quite soon on updates-testing. There is an equivalent release for 
F-19.

FWIW your document loads fine here with Fedora 20 and the above version.

If you need further instructions how to install this version just tell. :-)

Besides lyx, there are two sub-packages: lyx-common and lyx-fonts. The later is

I doubt that. The document is rather simple, and Hugh wrote he cannot open

I suspected lyx2lyx fails for some reason (python problem?), that's why I
looked at the rpm and check the path to lyx2lyx on Fedora, so that Hugh can

IIRC there is an interest from other packages to use lyx-fonts without 
necessarily having lyx installed:

# repoquery --whatrequires lyx-fonts
calligra-core-0:2.7.4-1.fc20.x86_64

lyx-0:2.0.6-3.fc20.x86_64

So all those packages require the fonts provided by lyx-fonts.

I hope that this makes sense. :-)

It is weird indeed since lyx requires lyx-common so lyx2lyx should be 
available. Python is a central part of a Fedora installation, it is not 
possible to remove it and lyx2lyx only requires the standard library.

That being said, I always thought LyX was supposed to convert even my
LyX 1.4.x files to modern format. In other words, I hope no developers
ever becomes complacent with LyX only converting formats from the last
couple years.


Actually, lyx2lyx converts file from version 0.6. But there has to be 
bugs. And if we find'em, we fix'em.

 I suspected lyx2lyx fails for some reason (python problem?), that's why I
 looked at the rpm and check the path to lyx2lyx on Fedora, so that Hugh can
 check what happens if he runs lyx2lyx on the file manually.

It is weird indeed since lyx requires lyx-common so lyx2lyx should be 
available. Python is a central part of a Fedora installation, it is not 
possible to remove it and lyx2lyx only requires the standard library.

Thank you.

I have attached an example file (I am not able to get any of my other files
to open either). I can't remember what version the file is from. It is
likely the version immediately before 2.1.0 because I created the file
within the last month.

I am running a 64-bit Fedora operating system and I am using the LyX
version that comes in the repository.

It opens here as well, without errors. This indicates that it is not a
lyx2lyx converter bug, but rather a problem on your side. If you try to

Hugh,

  If others could open the file it suggests that there's something wrong
with your installation. Try removing and re-installing lyx-2.1 if you've not
already done so.

  Just for giggles, can you run pdflatex on that file from the command line
and produce a readable .pdf?

Wait a minute.

This binary
http://pkgs.org/fedora-19/fedora-updates-x86_64/lyx-2.1.0-0.fc19.x86_64.rpm.html
looks incomplete to me.

The file list has

   - /usr/bin/lyx
   - /usr/bin/lyxclient
   - /usr/bin/tex2lyx
   - /usr/share/doc/lyx-2.1.0/
   - /usr/share/doc/lyx-2.1.0/ANNOUNCE
   - /usr/share/doc/lyx-2.1.0/COPYING
   - /usr/share/doc/lyx-2.1.0/CREDITS
   - /usr/share/doc/lyx-2.1.0/NEWS
   - /usr/share/doc/lyx-2.1.0/README

There is a lot of stuff missing. Amonst others, lyx2lyx. This also seems to
be the case for the 32bit version and LyX 2.0.6.

This would explain your problems.

José, could you please check?

I suspect that this could be related with the failure to load some beamer 
documents that was fixed by Jürgen recently.

I have built a new release with all the recent fixes:

http://koji.fedoraproject.org/koji/buildinfo?buildID=514543

it should be quite soon on updates-testing. There is an equivalent release for 
F-19.

FWIW your document loads fine here with Fedora 20 and the above version.

If you need further instructions how to install this version just tell. :-)

That is OK.

Besides lyx, there are two sub-packages: lyx-common and lyx-fonts. The later is 
self-descriptive and the former has all the non-arch parts of lyx. lyx2lyx, 
layouts and company are there. This scheme allows to have a shared sub-package 
for all the support architectures.

IIRC there is an interest from other packages to use lyx-fonts without 
necessarily having lyx installed:

# repoquery --whatrequires lyx-fonts
calligra-core-0:2.7.4-1.fc20.x86_64
calligra-core-0:2.8.1-1.fc20.x86_64

gtkmathview-0:0.8.0-13.fc20.x86_64
libreoffice-langpack-br-1:4.1.3.2-9.fc20.x86_64
[... snip lots of other libreoffice-langpack's ...]
lyx-0:2.0.6-3.fc20.x86_64
lyx-0:2.1.0-0.fc20.x86_64
vdr-0:2.0.4-1.fc20.x86_64
vdr-0:2.0.5-1.fc20.x86_64
wordnet-browser-0:3.0-20.fc20.x86_64

So all those packages require the fonts provided by lyx-fonts.

I hope that this makes sense. :-)

  LyX should do this. I suspect the OP has a flawed installation. When I get
