I am having a lot of trouble now, when trying to write a report with it. I would like to use the article layout, but when I choose it, write something and try to compile it to pdf I get a blank page, with nothing written on it.
Your document uses a lot of code in the document preamble. Most of the things can be deleted there because LyX already takes care about these packages.
Attached is a cleaned-up version of your file You get a blank page because you set the page margins to 30 cm which is wider than the page width.In general it looks much better if you don't set the line spacing and the page margin to a fixed value. The best is to use the document class article (KOMA-script) and the default margins and spacings. This document class automatically calculates the margins and spacings depending on the page format, the used font and the font size. So setting the line spacing to single will lead to a spacing of approximately 1.2 which has been found optimal for a printed text. If you need to have more space on the inner/left margin, for example to bind the document as a book, you can use the command "BCOR" in the options of the document class.
I did this in the attached file. regards Uwe p.s. this is the documentation mailing list, For questions like this, we have the lyx-users list.
