Hi,
I am a user of Lyx ( in Ubuntu 12.04) for a year. My lyx was working
fine but suddenly it got crashed and when I tried to restart it , the
program did not respond. I unistalled Lyx and reinstalled it following
the instructions in http://wiki.lyx.org/LyX/LyXOnUbuntu.
But now when I am attempting to start Lyx, in the terminal it shows
the following error message:
Warning: Could not read configuration file
----------------------------------------
Error while reading the configuration file
preferences.
Please check your installation.
My guess would be that somehow your configuration file got corrupted.
LyX will generate a new one, though, if you just get rid of, or rename,
the directory $(HOME)/.lyx Then it should start and search your system,
setting up your configuration based on what programs and defaults you have.
