Well said! I did the strace and part of the result was:

So what I did was to create a directory ~/lyx and then I started lyx
again. Wow! Lyx started, created a directory ~/.lyx, checked for all the
helper programs, document classes, packages and whatever and was up and
running! The funny (or strange) part is:
1. there is no directory ~root/lyx
2. under Kubuntu, there is no directory ~/lyx for non-root user
Many thanks for the hint to Jean-Marc!
