help/cannot open after emergency stop...

[Murat Yildizoglu]

That looks similar to the problem I have signaled some time ago and more
recently.

Today when I am writing with LyX. Suddenly the document crushed, with

one

message says: emergency stop...I could not tell exactly.
Then the file closed but I could not open it again later. It is really

a

disaster for me if I lost the document.
I write the email to ask any help I can get from you. Thank you very

much

in advance. Looking forward to your response.

First, check if you have a backup in the backup directory set in Tools >
Preferences > Path. If so (hopefully), you will find a backup of the file
there.
Next, open the LyX file with a text editor. If it ends with
\begin_inset Tabular
instead of
\end_body
\end_document
then you have probably faced this bug

This is happening a lot for me, since version 2.1.0.
In my case, both the original and the backup files are complete, whereas
the emergency lacks
\end_body
\end_document
and ends with
\begin_inset Tabular
I noticed that this seems to happen after I spent a long time working on
the doc without saving, i. e., when the autosave kicks in. If I save the
doc a lot, the crash don't happen.
I'd suggest that you manually save your work and disable the autobackup in
Tools -> Preferences -> Document Handling until the fix is available.
