I'm not having this problem on Ubuntu 12.04 using LyX 2.0.x and LyX 2.1 development. Are you sure you need to define the converters manually? There's a lot of old info on that wiki page. Have you tried without? Just delete your prefs, reconfigure LyX, and restart. If that doesn't work, you might get some useful information from 'lyx -dbg graphics'. Scott
