This is the terminal output after following your suggestion:

fonts.conf", line 103: Having multiple values in <test> isn't supported and
may not work as expected

I waited for about 10 minutes, but lyx was not started. I therefore
rebooted, but the result was again that lyx did not start. Terminal output
similar to the above one:
