<p>I should know how to do it by now, but SOMETIME (not always) I
am still running into an error message:</p>
<p><font face="Courier New, Courier, monospace">No information
about converting GIF files into JPG</font>, or a similar error
when I embed a graphics in a Lyx/Beamer file. It comes with a:</p>

<p><font face="Courier New, Courier, monospace">I do not see the
required converters listed in the preferences/converters. </font></p>
<p><font face="Courier New, Courier, monospace">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. </font></p>

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.<br>
