The problem is probably:
% \maketitle outputs the complete titlepage. It requires all the
% above macros except \campuscap. It is probably not correct for
% joint (e.g. UCSD/SDSU) degrees.
You need to add support for the macros that build the front matter.
The README for ucthesis.cls says:
Declarations
------------
To use the front matter macros and environments, you must first
declare a number of text strings:
\title Dissertation title
\author Your name as registered with UC (usually w/ full
middle name)
\degreeyear Year your dissertation will be granted
\degreesemester Semester (or quarter) your dissertation will be granted
\degree The title of your degree (e.g. Doctor of Philosophy)
\chair Title and name of your committee chair
(e.g. "Professor Michael A. Harrison")
\othermembers The names of the other members of your committee
separated by linebreaks
(e.g. "Professor Susan L. Graham\\Professor Jim Pitman)
\numberofmembers The number of members on your committee. This defaults to
3 (and thus is optional) and can be any value between
3 and 6. It affects the number of lines on the approval
page and the space between them.
\prevdegrees Your previous degrees
"B.A. (University of California, San Diego) 1978\\
B.A. (University of California, San Diego) 1986\\
M.S. (University of California, Berkeley) 1989"
\field The official title of your field. This is usually
your department's name, but at Berkeley, most
Engineering degrees have a more complex name.
Be sure to check the guidelines for any special
twists on the name of your field.
\campus The name of your UC campus. This should be capitalized.
(e.g. Berkeley)
You have two solutions :
1/ you are lazy and just want to get this to work. Add entries for all
these things (except \title and \author, which are handled by LyX) in
Document>Settings|Preamble. Something like
\degreeyear{2}
\degreesemester{1}
\degree{Doctor of Philosophy}
...
2/ you are brave and want the future LyX users to remember fondly
about you. Then you should add support for these macros in your
ucthesis.layout and provide us a nice layout (which respects fonts)
that we can distribute with LyX.
