Interesting. What version of Qt do you use (4.8.7 here), and what
desktop environment for Sarah (MATE here)? Did you compile LyX yourself
or get a binary somewhere?
The desktop environment is Cinnamon. But it's not Cinnamon vs.
MATE--I just logged into MATE and it's got the same issue here.
Does your file dialog look the same in MATE, or does it look like mine?
In particular, in MATE does the file filter ("Files of type:") show the
full details ("LaTeX (plain) (*.tex)")?
Here is the LyX build Info, in case that helps:
LyX 2.3.2 (2018-12-08)
Configuration
Host type: x86_64-pc-linux-gnu
Special build flags: build=release std-regex use-hunspell use-aspell use-enchant
Bundled libraries: (none)
C++ Compiler: g++ (5.4.0)
C++ Compiler flags: -O2 -std=c++14
C++ Compiler user flags:
Linker flags:
Linker user flags:
Qt Frontend:
Qt version: 4.8.7
Packaging: posix
LyX binary dir: /usr/bin
LyX files dir: /usr/share/lyx
That's an exact match to what I have.
I cannot remember how I installed LyX originally, to be honest. But I
have this in my var/lib/apt/lists:
ppa.launchpad.net_lyx-devel_release_ubuntu_dists_xenial_InRelease
ppa.launchpad.net_lyx-devel_release_ubuntu_dists_xenial_main_binary-amd64_Packages
ppa.launchpad.net_lyx-devel_release_ubuntu_dists_xenial_main_binary-i386_Packages
ppa.launchpad.net_lyx-devel_release_ubuntu_dists_xenial_main_i18n_Translation-en
ppa.launchpad.net_lyx-devel_release_ubuntu_dists_xenial_main_source_Sources
Which I think means that at some point I added Liviu's PPA and have
been just getting it with apt updates.
I use Liviu's PPA, and I have all the same files except the last one. I
install binaries from the PPA.
Your file dialog looks substantially different from mine (screen shot
attached). Some of that may be MATE v. Cinnamon (or whatever you're
using), but I find it interesting that your filter drop-down just says
"LaTeX" whereas mine is specific as to the "flavor" of LaTeX. The window
title is properly specific (and matches what I get). The reason I'm so
interested in the filter button is that I'm wondering whether the filter
you are getting is incorrect (for instance, fails to specify .tex as the
extension it wants).
I am fairly sure this is a virgin install, without any configuration
tinkering--I don't do much personalizing because I switch between
machines so much.

I wonder if this could be a MIME-type issue? If you go to the relevant
directory in your file manager (Caja in my case), right click one of the
.tex files and click on "Properties", what type is it? On my system, the
MIME type is "TeX document (text/x-tex)".
