Description of problem: Can't export PDF Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): lyx-1.5.4-1.fc9.i386 How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. yum install lyx 2. reconfigure lyx to make sure 3. Help->Introduction 3. File->Export->PDF (pdflatex) Actual results: Copying /tmp/lyx_tmpdir22126iwMupD/lyx_tmpbuf0/Intro.pdf to [doc/Intro.pdf] failed. Expected results: File should have been generated Additional info: Before the most recent texlive update, "View->PDF (pdflatex)" generated a PDF that had the right number of pages, but all fonts were blank. The latest texlive update appeared to add a number of dependent packages. Now at least the PDF generates when viewing it. Just for reference, this is the complete list of packages installed on fairly bare machine when running: sudo yum install lyx Installing: texlive-texmf-errata ####################### [ 1/17] Installing: texlive-texmf ####################### [ 2/17] Installing: texlive-texmf-errata-latex ####################### [ 3/17] Installing: texlive-texmf-latex ####################### [ 4/17] Installing: texlive-texmf-errata-fonts ####################### [ 5/17] Installing: texlive-texmf-errata-dvips ####################### [ 6/17] Installing: texlive-texmf-dvips ####################### [ 7/17] Installing: texlive-texmf-fonts ####################### [ 8/17] Installing: mathml-fonts ####################### [ 9/17] Installing: texlive ####################### [10/17] Installing: aiksaurus ####################### [11/17] Installing: netpbm ####################### [12/17] Installing: netpbm-progs ####################### [13/17] Installing: psutils ####################### [14/17] Installing: texlive-dvips ####################### [15/17] Installing: texlive-latex ####################### [16/17] Installing: lyx ####################### [17/17] I'm not sure if this is related but the latest "yum update" since the above added the following tex-related packages: Installed: tex-preview-11.85-7.fc9.noarch Installed: texlive-utils-2007-21.fc9.i386
more than likely due to texlive flux atm, and the possibility that we're missing the correct dep to pull in pdflatex (I *think* it lives in teslive-texmf-latex tho).
(In reply to comment #1) > more than likely due to texlive flux atm, and the possibility that we're missing > the correct dep to pull in pdflatex (I *think* it lives in teslive-texmf-latex tho). Recent texlive updates have indeed appeared to fix this on the last I tested, so closing. (By the way, the export issue was due to exporting a .lyx file that was in write-only directory /usr/share/lyx/doc/ )
