This error is now fixed, but to get A4 output size, I set
\usepackage{pgfpages}
\pgfpagesuselayout{4 on 1}[a4paper]

but I get the error:
\pdfpages@includegraphics@status=\count340
\AM@pagebox=\box78
\AM@global@opts=\toks49
\AM@pagecnt=\count341
\AM@toc@title=\toks50

\AM@templatesizebox=\box79
)
! Undefined control sequence.
 \pdfpagesuselayout

l.46 \pdfpagesuselayout
   {4 on 1}[a4paper]
The control sequence at the end of the top line
of your error message was never \def'ed. If you have
misspelled it (e.g., `\hobx'), type `I' and the correct
spelling (e.g., `I\hbox'). Otherwise just continue,
and I'll forget about whatever was undefined.

Julio,

Rather than futzing seeking the source consider this: change
encoding to
UTF-8. Open on you Mac. Save it. Open it again and check the
encoding and
whether this resolved the issue.

Dear all,

Trying to open a Beamer presentation that I used for my lectures
every year. After some adjustment for this year's lectures, the
following error appears when compiling the document:

! Package inputenc Error: Keyboard character used is undefined

(inputenc) in inputencoding `latin9'.

This is a document that I usually work with on Ubuntu Linux, but
that in this case, I opened in Windows 10.

I changed default coding to UTF-8 instead of inputenc and another
error appears. In this case, the small logo in the right corner
is not recognized and as the filename is "uct_logo.png", at
compilation time it says the file is not found and then a box
with "uct_logo" appears, with the "l" in "logo" as a subscript.

Is this problem a Windows or a Lyx related one? BTW, I am using
TeXLive 2019 on this windows computer.

Is the logo PNG file in the same directory as the LyX file? If
not, have you tried specifying the path to it?

If by any chance you kept the original Mac version (did not overwrite it 
with the version saved on Windows), you could diff the two LyX files to 
find the offending character.


Other than having a different idea about what an end-of-line character 
should be, I don't recall Windows mucking up characters on its own. If 
you paste in something copied from, say, a PDF (where there are 
ligatures) or maybe type something like an accented letter while 
editing, maybe that could be the source of the problem?

What I would do is make an ultra-simple 1 page Beamer presentation and try to

If you CAN get it to work, start adding pages one at a time, presumably from

As you can see I'm doing nearly nothing


Here is a version that works:

http://pastebin.com/m1f60d2ea
(there's a 'download' link)

I did two things:

a) Add an empty slide (so that the error goes away)

b) Changed the document class from article(beamer) to
presentation(beamer) so that it looks like a presentation

HTH,

Kosta

Could you post the source of a lyx document that contains the error to
a service like pastebin.com? That way, someone can reproduce it and
tell you what's going wrong.

Unfortunately, the Latex-Beamer stuff simply throws completely
incomprehensible error messages for the average user :(

Could it be that you define a section inside a "frame"? If so, try
defining it before that frame.

Cheers,
