Thanks, but this is not the problem, the temp dir is /tmp, I have write permissions, and the filesystem is not full: [jcard@feup] l -R /tmp/lyx_tmpdir139097R2doD /tmp/lyx_tmpdir139097R2doD: total 1 drwxr-xr-x 2 jcard users 35 Jul 2 17:51 lyx_tmpbuf0 /tmp/lyx_tmpdir139097R2doD/lyx_tmpbuf0: total 0 Joao | | > The file contains ps format data. | > No conversion needed! | > Loading image. | > xforms image loader.
