I have managed to fix most of the problems with the images not been displayed. The site http://www.lyx.org/AdditionalSoftware recommends some additional packages for LyX. I added the ImageMagick package and some additional TeXLive packages (the texlive metapackage) from synaptic package manager. Following installing these packages I removed LyX and reinstalled it.
The tutorial now converts correctly to PDF (no errors and images look correct), most images appear correctly in PS but some are not displayed correctly. Images do not export correctly to DVI (a rectangle with a black border appears instead of the image). Perhaps the ImageMagick package should be added as a dependency, currently it isn't even suggested under add/remove applications. -- [hardy] Lyx cannot export to DVI or PDF https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/211508 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
