Re: ubuntu - an error when I double click on a .lyx flie, but no error when I run from terminal
It seems rather odd that the (random) temp directory name is the same both times. Can you be more specific about your steps? When you double click the LyX file, does it open correctly in LyX? Is it View PDF (pdflatex) that causes the error? When you start from a terminal, same questions: does the document open properly in LyX, and is it View PDF (pdflatex) that triggers the error message. Also, does this happen for all documents, or one specific one? You might try running 'pdflatex --version' in a terminal just to make sure pdflatex is correctly installed (and you have permission to run it). Paul

ubuntu - an error when I double click on a .lyx flie, but no error when I run from terminal
If I start LyX from the terminal, everything works fine. But if I just start LyX by double clicking on a .lyx file, then I have problems (pasted at the end of email). I have tried reconfigure. Do I have a problem with permissions or something? I don't see why the two would be different. I have tried reconfigure and reinstalling and neither has helped. Here is the error in LyX: File does not exist: /tmp/lyx_tmpdir.MT6574/lyx_tmpbuf2/testfile.pdf In the terminal, here is the output: Systemcall.cpp(238): Systemcall: 'pdflatex testfile.tex' did not start! Systemcall.cpp(239): error The process failed to start. Either the invoked program is missing, or you may have insufficient permissions to invoke the program. Error: Cannot view file File does not exist: /tmp/lyx_tmpdir.MT6574/lyx_tmpbuf2/testfile.pdf I am using Ubuntu 11.04 64-bit.
