lyx2lyx failure and older versions of LyX
Dear Lyxers, I am trying to convert a batch of old documents written with Framemaker into LyX. There is a nifty little utility that allows the conversion and I have used it successfully in the past (mif2lyx). However, it has not been maintained since 2000 and it produces lyx files in the 2.16 format. When I tried to open the files in my current version of Lyx (1.6.1) lyx2lyx failed to convert the file to the new format. I don't know if the failed conversion is due to the old format or to an error by the mif2lyx conversion script. I tried to download an older version of Lyx to rule out some hypotheses, but I get 550 errors on the lyx website. I next tried running lyx2lyx from the terminal, and it gave the following output: Warning: An error ocurred in 225, function add_end_layout at 0x1cfa1b8 Traceback (most recent call last): File /usr/share/lyx/lyx2lyx/lyx2lyx, line 83, in module main() File /usr/share/lyx/lyx2lyx/lyx2lyx, line 77, in main doc.convert() File /usr/share/lyx/lyx2lyx/LyX.py, line 500, in convert conv(self) File /usr/share/lyx/lyx2lyx/lyx_1_4.py, line 449, in add_end_layout struct_stack.pop() IndexError: pop from empty list I have no idea about its meaning, unfortunately.

Re: lyx2lyx failure
Dear rh, Yes, it is working now. (hooray!) I do not know exactly what the problem was; for some reason, the way that Windows stored the .lyx file on the removable drive did not mix well with Ubuntu.

Re: lyx2lyx failure
Dear Paul, Thanks! As it turns out, when I copied the file from my removable SanDisk to follow your advice, then LyX read it perfectly, no lyx2lyx failure. I have other LyX files on the removable disk (created with 1.5.3 on Ubuntu) which open with no problems. I don't quite follow the details of what is happening, but if I copy the files from the removable disk to the Linux desktop then the problems disappear. In any case, I have now regained over 2 years worth of work. Thanks again! Best, Jay Guessing blind here, but maybe an encoding problem? You might try running iconv against one of them, converting to utf8 (with a new file name so as not to overwrite the original), then see if LyX can open the converted copy. Otherwise, maybe you could post a small example that doesn't open in 1.5.3. /Paul On Feb 11, 2008 8:35 PM, G.
