ox-beamer export, no frames created

ox-beamer export, no frames created

[John W. Burroughs]

I have been trying to produce my first presentation using org-mode and
ox-beamer export to create a pdf.  I am not seeing separate frames for
each slide.  For example, using the Beamer Example (12.5.6) from the
org-mode manual, I get the following generated .tex file.

There are only \subsection{} generated, instead of the \begin{frame}
that is expected.

Any suggestions what might be wrong.

I am using: GNU Emacs 24.5.2
            Org-mode version 8.3.3 (8.3.3-43-g0b97a5-elpa @
            /home/jwb/.emacs.d/elpa/org-20160215/)"
            TeX 3.14159265 (TeX Live 2015/Debian)
            Linux 4.2.0-27-generic #32-Ubuntu SMP Fri Jan 22 04:48:15
            UTC 2016

Many thanks

To me, this looks like you used the LaTeX export commands instead of the
beamer export commands.

Thank you, that was the issue.  I was using C-c C-e to invoke the export
and didn't realise I had to activate the Beamer entries in the
dispatcher display.

It is working as expected now.
