There are various things that can cause this kind of problem after an
update.
First, I'd verify that TeX is properly installed. From a terminal try:
kpsewhich article.cls
You should get a response telling you where that file is. If not, then
your TeX installation is either missing or very broken.
If that is all right, then open LyX from a terminal. Try Tools>
Reconfigure and see what error messages you might get. Let us know what
you see. You should also get a file configure.log in your user directory
containing all the output from the configuration process. Please post that.
