That is very odd. Assuming you had 2.3.6 installed before, the changes

the build pulled in.
Riki,
Yes, it is. Installed here is qt5-5.12.8; I don't recall when that was
installed relative to lyx-2.3.6.
First, the fonts on the menu, toolbar, outline pane and other main window
widgets shrank. They're too small for me and I didn't find where to
enlarge
them under Tools->Display fonts.
I believe the WM or Qt configuration tool controls that.
Perhaps; I'll check both.
Run LyX from a terminal and see what error messages you get. The file
must not be loading properly.
That's for certain:
$ lyx
Traceback (most recent call last):

filetools.cpp (1221): Could not run file conversion script prefs2prefs.py.
GuiApplication.cpp (3119): Unable to convert /home/rshepard/.lyx/ui/classic.ui
to format 4.
GuiApplication.cpp (3126): Unable to read UI file:
/home/rshepard/.lyx/ui/classic.ui
Since I can't change the UI to default.ui within lyx, where can I change
it?
Since python2 reached EOL at the end of last year is there a way to specify
using python3 instead?
Try looking in .config/ and .local/.
Well, ~./config/LyX/ has
-rw-r--r-- 1 rshepard users 6561 Nov 8 2010 LyX-1.6.0.conf
-rw-r--r-- 1 rshepard users 7030 Nov 8 2010 LyX-1.6.1.conf
-rw-r--r-- 1 rshepard users 5806 Nov 8 2010 LyX-1.6.2.conf
-rw-r--r-- 1 rshepard users 6114 Nov 8 2010 LyX-1.6.3.conf
-rw-r--r-- 1 rshepard users 11217 Jan 25 10:27 lyx.conf
and lyx.conf includes
[ui_files]
0=/usr/share/lyx/ui/default.ui
I don't see anything relevant in ~/.local/
Thanks,
Rich
