I am brand new to lyx/latex/tex.
I installed lyx 1.61 under Ubuntu 8.04, using the Ubuntu backports
repository. When I tried to print the tutorial, I got the following
error:

Have you ever had LyX installed before? If not, this is very odd indeed.
The lyx2lyx script is called only to convert files from older versions
of LyX to the current format, and the Tutorial surely ought to be in the
current format. You might want to uninstall and then reinstall, on the
theory that maybe something was corrupted.
