I should know how to do it by now, but SOMETIME (not always) I am still running into an error message:

No information about converting GIF files into JPG, or a similar error when I embed a graphics in a Lyx/Beamer file.  It comes with a:

pdftex.def error.

I do not see the required converters listed in the preferences/converters. 

Sadly, because I am using MX Linux (don't ask me why), I am using Texlive 2018, which tlmgr refuses to update.   ImageMagick in installed and working, but obviously something else is broken. 

Any hints?

Thanks,

LyX on my system (Mint) does not have a converter defined for GIFs, maybe because the GIF format is so 20th century? :-)  At any rate, I'm pretty sure ImageMagick can convert GIF to JPG or PNG or maybe EPS. I suggest try to convert one of the files using ImageMagick, and if it works, just define a GIF converter using ImageMagick in LyX.

Indeed, converting GIF to JPG works, so I can live with that.  However, I am also very 20th Century, and I have not quite expired yet, despite the efforts of Sars-2 et al...
