I found some more details: The file ~/.lyx/doc/LaTeXConfig.lyx opened via Help>LaTeX Configuration is outdated (June 24, 2008 !) The reconfiguration log ~/.lyx/configure.log says: INFO: checking for a Latex2e program... INFO: +checking for "latex"... yes INFO: checking for a DVI postprocessing program... INFO: +checking for "pplatex"... no INFO: checking for pLaTeX, the Japanese LaTeX... INFO: +checking for "platex"... no DEBUG: Add to RC: \converter latex dvi "latex" "latex" WARNING: Latex not usable (not LaTeX2e) DEBUG: Removing file chklatex.ltx DEBUG: Failed to remove file chklatex.log and ~/.lyx/textclass.lst has lines like "article" "article" "article" "false" "article.cls" (only docbook related entries contain "true"). The output of `latex --version` is: pdfTeX 3.1415926-2.4-1.40.13 (TeX Live 2012/Debian) kpathsea version 6.1.0 Copyright 2012 Peter Breitenlohner (eTeX)/Han The Thanh (pdfTeX). There is NO warranty.
