Moin Lyxers,
not for the first time I got today an LyX when clicking "show pdf" an

/tmp/lyx_tmpdir.L12205/lyx_tmpbuf1/Lyra-Pracher-odt-teil.pdf
That was after adding an TeX code for another "footnoteB" (from the -
loaded - manyfoot package), because I'm using for that the "handout
(tufte)" layout because of the many sidenotes I need.
But because - at a certain point, when LaTeX (via LyX) said "too many
floats" - I changed to the TeX-box \footnoteB command to get a real
footnote. Which normally gives the planned result.
If the error message "The file doesn't exist ... .pdf" is a known
problem, I ask:
==> how to come out of this situation best?
I found out by trial and error, that I deleted the last TeX inset
\footnoteB{...}, (but after many other trials, even after clothing and
reopening LyX, after deleting the LyX - /tmp ... xyz-files and so on).
Regained functionality of LyX in making and showing a pdf result, I
reintroduced the TeX-inset \footnoteB and it worked.
Fine for the project. But Question:
=> are there reasons for that behaviour of LyX and/or other ways than
just trying out, deleting the last inset(s) and remaking them?
==> What might be the reason of the LaTeX-error about "too many flouts"
when inserting "footnotes" = sidenotes in the "handout (tufte)" class,
even if on the page where I am working and on the horizontal space on
the margin there is place enough for another "footnote"=sidenote?

I also meet this problem when I'm compiling the Tutorial.lyx.
It reported that the it can't find the pdf file to open.
I added the screen shot of this dialog.
