Package: lyx Version: 1.6.0-1 Severity: normal I've been trying to read the various help files included with lyx via the various viewers lyx provides. Some (Tutorial, Math, LyX Functions) work fine, but others don't appear, with a completely empty error box popping up instead. The problem files don't work with any of view as dvi, pdf or ps. Further investigation reveals that the .dvi files are always created in /tmp/lyx_tmpdir.xxxxxx/lyx_tmpbufn/filenam.dvi, but on the files that don't appear, it seems that lyx isn't invoking the converters / viewers to display them. I notice that the files that work have only one tmpbufn directory created for them, while those that don't have multiple (tmpbuf0, tmpbuf1, etc), so I'm guessing that the converter / displayer code somehow gets confused by the multiple buffers and fails to find the fresh dvi.
