Does this problem occur when you open the file and when LyX tries to
show the PDF or when you compile the file (e.g with pdflatex)? I am
trying to understand if this is a LyX issue or latex issue.
There were questions about PDF is not converted correctly for LyX
preview in the list, which is related to PDF to PNG conversion, and I
had the following recommendation for such problems. I do not know if
this is your problem but worth to remind this:
Default LyX will show the PDFs with lower quality on the screen, when
scaled. To solve this problem you need to tell to increase the
resolution of the preview image as follows:
* Make sure the convert utility of ImageMagick is installed and the
utility "convert" is made available to path.
* Start LyX and do not open a file.
* Go to "Preferences" under the "Tools" menu.
* Go to "Converters" under the "File Handling" section.
* Select "PDF(graphics)" from "From Format:" and "PNG" from "To Format:"
* To "Converter:" write :|convert -density *** -trim -quality 100
-sharpen 0x1.0 $$i $$o|, where *** can be 200 to start with. You
may try other values based on the results.
* Click "Add" button.
* Click "Apply" button.
* Click "Save" button.
* Select "Reconfigure" under "Tools" menu.
* Restart LyX.

Please bottom-post. Start your reply here:
Thanks, Barris.
I do have Version: ImageMagick 6.9.7-4 with convert.
Did you mean to put this in the extra flag line? >

There was no save button, I clicked ok
I opened my document. Now instead of
/error converting in a loadable format/.
I get
/error loading file into memory
/
What I plan to do now is to try it with Debian buster on my notebook. I
am currently on Linux Mint Tina using my PC.
