Please start LyX from the terminal and run Tools > Reconfigure. Then copy the output into a log file and attach it to an email. I've seen many problems with reconfigure not finding a TeX installation on Windows, but I don't recall any widespread problem on Linux related to this. Also, how did you install LyX? From the repos or a PPA? Could you please respond in-line (instead of top-posting)? Best, Scott
