Dear LyX users, I am in the process of graduating from Windows to Linux. I installed LyX 1.5.3 on an Ubuntu Gutsy using the Synaptic Package Manager.
Now it seems that I cannot open any of my old LyX files (<= 1.5.2). It says that "(Myfile) came from an earlier version of LyX, but lyx2lyx failed to convert the file." I found an earlier post from December that suggested changing \language default to \language english but this doesn't work for me because my file already has \language english. I checked the top of my file and it says #LyX 1.4.3-5 created this file. For more info see http://www.lyx.org/ \lyxformat 245 Can anyone please help me? Any advice would be greatly appreciated.
