At this place in my (working) installation lyx -dbg init continues with
"About to read default...
Found default in /usr/local/share/lyx/ui/default.ui
About to read stdmenus.ui...
Found stdmenus.ui in /usr/local/share/lyx/ui/stdmenus.ui
About to read stdtoolbars.ui..."
Running the same as "strace -e trace=open lyx -dbg init" (strace
is a nice tool to see which files are opened, you also can use it
for tracking of other user/kernelspace interaction) shows that
(on my installation) at this stage of booting lyx the following files
are opened:
Reading layouts...
open("/usr/local/share/lyx/textclass.lst", O_RDONLY|O_LARGEFILE) = 4
open("/usr/local/share/lyx/textclass.lst", O_RDONLY|O_LARGEFILE) = 4

LyX tmp dir: `/tmp/lyx_tmpdir14553Ax5bAY'
Reading lastfiles `/home/blasum/.lyx/lastfiles'...
open("/home/blasum/.lyx/lastfiles", O_RDONLY|O_LARGEFILE) = 4
etc
Three things to try:
(1) are (some of) the above-mentioned files in place?
(2) try "strace -e trace=open lyx -dbg init" yourself and see where
it hangs, or do (much more verbose) "strace lyx -dbg init".
(3) something much more simple: check whether it helps to move
your .lyx home directory (presumably configured for the old lyx
1.3.*) to .lyx-broken temporarily (I remember that during
the migration I had simply discarded mine in the same manner because
I hadn't done any customization anyway ...).
Cheers,
