Created attachment 863679 [details] The pdf file that causes the reported crash When inserting the attached pdf file as a graphic into a LyX document, LyX crashes. This pdf file was created with Mathematica 9. Thanks in advance, Paul
Works for me on Fedora 20 (both for lyx-2.0 and lyx-2.1 - to be). In order to understand what could be the problem I have two requests: 1) If you run lyx from the command line as "lyx -dbg graphics", repeating the same procedure as before what is the last output? 2) What are the converters that you have defined for pdf? Look for: Tools->Preferences->File Handling->Converters Pdf->...
Thanks, José. The answer to your request 1) is below. Regarding request 2): pdftops -eps -f 1 -l 1 $$i $$o pdf2ps $$i $$o ----------------- $ lyx -dbg graphics Setting debug level to graphics Debugging `graphics' (Graphics conversion and loading) Fontconfig warning: "/etc/fonts/conf.d/50-user.conf", line 14: reading configurations from ~/.fonts.conf is deprecated.

I am sorry for being late here I have been busy with other issues. LyX 2.1.0 should be released soon (in a couple of days). I have not seen this problem with lyx 2.1.0 (the latest being rc1). I intend to issue a build for updates-testing as soon as 2.1.0 is released.
lyx-2.1.0-0.fc20 has been submitted as an update for Fedora 20. https://admin.fedoraproject.org/updates/lyx-2.1.0-0.fc20
lyx-2.1.0-0.fc19 has been submitted as an update for Fedora 19. https://admin.fedoraproject.org/updates/lyx-2.1.0-0.fc19
Package lyx-2.1.0-0.fc20: * should fix your issue, * was pushed to the Fedora 20 testing repository, * should be available at your local mirror within two days. Update it with: # su -c 'yum update --enablerepo=updates-testing lyx-2.1.0-0.fc20' as soon as you are able to. Please go to the following url: https://admin.fedoraproject.org/updates/FEDORA-2014-5212/lyx-2.1.0-0.fc20 then log in and leave karma (feedback).
Thanks, José. Unfortunately, I cannot test that, since I am still running F19.
The update is available for F19 as you can see from comment 5. The update is available for F19, F20 and rawhide.
Thanks again, José. I did try updating LyX this morning, but with no success. I could now update LyX, and I have unfortunately to tell you that the reported problem persists.
Right. When you go to Tools -> Preferences -> File Handling -> Converters what is the converter definition for the pdf -> eps path? In my case I have From format: PDF(graphics) To format: EPS Converter: pdftops -eps -f 1 -l 1 $$i $$o in this case $$i is the input file name and $$o is the output file name. Could you apply this converter in the command line and see what is the resulting file? In the case above it would be pdftops -eps -f 1 -l 1 testfile.pdf testfile.eps I suspect that the conversion is failing and the resulting file is empty...
Thanks, José. I guess you are right: Probably, it is a conversion problem. When I run pdftops -eps -f 1 -l 1 testfile.pdf testfile.eps the eps file is created. However, I cannot view the eps on Okular. I did yum reinstall poppler-utils but with no progress.
I suspect that it is an empty file (zero size). What is the output on the command line of ls -l testfile.eps FWIW any file browser like dolphin will tell you that. In any case it is a bug of lyx to crash with a badly formatted input.
Thanks, José. Your request: $ ls -l test* -rw-rw-r--. 1 psmith psmith 2728497 Apr 17 10:00 testfile.eps -rw-r--r--. 1 psmith psmith 5180 Apr 17 10:00 testfile.pdf $ I am attaching testfile.eps for your inspection.
Created attachment 887120 [details] The converted eps file
An additional search revealed that this is a known problem of pdftops: (a thread from last December with the same problem you refer to) http://comments.gmane.org/gmane.editors.lyx.general/80886 The bug on lyx side is to crash but as the thread shows there are several workarounds to this problem. In any case this is a problem with Fedora 19 pdftops because the Fedora 20 versions works flawlessly.
Thanks, José. As soon as I upgrade to F20, I will let you know whether the problem persists or not.
lyx-2.1.0-0.fc19 has been pushed to the Fedora 19 stable repository. If problems still persist, please make note of it in this bug report.
