That may be the main disk or a separate partition. But one way or another, it's some major disk problem. Wolfgang, looking at the output of "mount" will tell you what the issue might be. I have: /dev/sda7 on /tmp type ext4 (rw,noexec,noatime) /dev/sda2 on / type ext4 (rw,relatime) Note how both show "rw". I am guessing you will see "ro" somewhere. Riki

Wolfgang, have you rebooted? That should run fdisk which may fix what seems to be a file system error. You have sufficient backups, of course? el On 03/09/2019 20:54, Wolfgang Engelmann wrote: > > Quoting John White : > >> After reconfiguring, I would save one of the problem files to a usb >> stick and see if lyx will open it from there. >> >> John >> >> On Tuesday, September 3, 2019 7:31:32 AM PDT Wolfgang Engelmann wrote: >>> I have saved a lyx document under a different name.

Re: lyx disk: error: LyX could not create the temporary directory '/tmp/lyx_tmpbuf1'
Quoting John White : After reconfiguring, I would save one of the problem files to a usb stick and see if lyx will open it from there.

Wolfgang Thanks, John, but there seems to be a bigger problem which I am facing. I can't open an usb stick, tells me, that it can't be invoked (kann nicht eingebunden werden in German).

lyx disk: error: LyX could not create the temporary directory '/tmp/lyx_tmpbuf1'
I have saved a lyx document under a different name. I restarted lyx but get a lyx disk: error: LyX could not create the temporary directory '/tmp/lyx_tmpbuf1' (Disk is full maybe?) Before there were in /tmp 3 tmpbuf (0, 1, 2). Now there is only this one: lyx_tmpdir.JvcZAzSC4585 Whatever lyx file I try to load (file>recent>... or file>open>...) I get always this error. What should I do to get lyx working again? Wolfgang
