LyX ⇒ No PDF output after Lyx reinstall

[varinski]

Hi,

after a fresh install of Kubuntu 20.04 on a new SSD, I reinstalled Lyx (same version as before: 2.3.4.2) through the same process as usual, that is :

sudo apt install lyx
sudo apt install texlive-lang-french

Here is my problem: I can open my .lyx files, but when I press CTRL+R to get a PDF output all I get is the same error message:

Since I reinstalled the same Lyx version through the same process, I don't understand where the problem comes from. The files (including their preamble) haven't been modified. Everything is the same, and yet...

Any help would be most welcome.

Thanks!

Hi varinski,

welcome to the forum!

I remember that LyX/LaTeX in some version had issues with special characters in file names and paths. And I see in line 99 of your log file that your document is in such a folder:

[]\T1/pnc/m/n/12 lyx fran�ais/quelque part/"geometry.cfg"

Please try working without special characters in the path / folder name, such as renaming that folder.

Stefan
