Thank you for the screenshot. > There may be a similar setting of your TeX system Well there is a similar utility for TeXlive, it's tlmgr and I hardly know it so I'm reluctant to use it. > or as you have mentioned, there may be Lua-specific setting that > should be passed from LyX to to the Lua compiler.

Now I made an opposite test on my old system (w/ LyX 2.1.2 and TL 2014): in a document which uses LuaTeX, I chose portrait orientation in LyX and the output was correctly oriented. So, some change in LyX and/or LuaTeX (under Linux) now prevents the choices made within LyX from being passed correctly to LuaTeX, whereas it worked before. Fortunately I found a workaround. -- Daniel CLEMENT
