I agree, it looks like this, and related to commit d30da478d4f (Fix encoding issues with configuration under Python 3). You have reasonable chance to get that fixed if you upgrade to lyx 2.3.4.

Probably you have to tell Guix about the new path.
Have you tried to start lyx from the terminal? (That is, after the .profile is
loaded)

Use different texlive installation
Hello LyX users!
I've searched the mailing list archives and found some instructions on
how to change the texlive installation, which LyX uses and added the
following to my `.profile`:
START
###
# texlive manager #
###
export MY_TEXLIVE_LOCATION="/usr/local/texlive"
export PATH="${MY_TEXLIVE_LOCATION}/2019/bin/x86_64-linux:${PATH}"
###
# LYX #
###
# LYX must know where texlive is installed, otherwise it will have limited
functionality.
# prepend web2c path
export TEXMFCNF="${MY_TEXLIVE_LOCATION}/2019/texmf-dist/web2c" # ":${TEXMFCNF}"
# export MANPATH="${MY_TEXLIVE_LOCATION}/2019/texmf-dist/doc/man:${MANPATH}"
# export INFOPATH="${MY_TEXLIVE_LOCATION}/2019/texmf-dist/doc/info:${INFOPATH}"
~END~
And it worked great for a day, I got lots of writing done. Then the next
day I restarted my machine and LyX complained about not finding any
textclasses and that it would have limitations.
Whenever I hit Tools > Reconfigure, I get an error on command line output:
START

It seems like an implementation bug in the script, expecting another
type. I think it could also be Python 2 str VS Python 3 str related.
When I go to Tools > TeX Information, the paths all point to my Guix
profile, instead of the path I defined in the TEXMFCNF environment
variable in my `.profile`. I think that is the reason, why it cannot
find much there. I did not install texlive using Guix, but installed it
by downloading it and installing every single package of the 2019
version using the default installer, which I think in turn uses tlmgr.
My PATH variable starts as follows:
START
/home/xiaolong/.nvm/versions/node/v13.9.0/bin:/usr/local/texlive/2019/bin/x86_64-linux:
...
~END~
So it is definitely on the path. According to
https://tex.stackexchange.com/questions/454513/how-to-specify-the-path-to-texlive-in-lyx/454523#454523
that should be sufficient, but obviously it is not. It also does not ask
me after a while to restart it or anything, after rescanning in Tools >

~END~
Here is a complete log of the output on command line, when I run
`lyx2.3` (it even says, that it will use a wrong texlive):
https://paste.debian.net/1136648/
So at some point my LyX did look at the correct path, but not it is not
and I need to fix it.
What can I do to make LyX pick up the correct texlive installation path?
Best regards,
Zelphir

Hi Ehud, Please bottom-post (https://wiki.lyx.org/FAQ/ListNetiquette#tofu). Indeed, it is difficult and frustrating to transition to a new way of doing things. You might just want to stick with an older version of LyX until you have the time and energy to deal with the transition and to read Help > Specific Manuals > Beamer Presentations. If you send us a minimal example, and describe exactly what you would like to achieve as the end goal, we can tell you the "new" way of doing things. It's always fun to argue whether the new way of doing things is better/worse than the old way, but let's separate that discussion from "how do accomplish things in the new way?". As for just needing a separator, I'm not sure that manually inserting a separator is the best way to accomplish what you want to do in the *new* way of using Beamer in LyX.

Re: End-of-frame separator in lyx/Beamer
Paul & Pavel (Paul2?)-- I am using 2.3.4.2 (latest, I think) under Linux/Mint-XFCE 19.3 (latest). I found the Separated Frame Below(above) on my own, before I nagged you, but it inserts not only a separator, but a NEW FRAME-- a separator PLUS an open frame, which needs to be removed, because it creates a blank frame in the presentation. Deleting it also deletes the desired separator, and we are back to square one. I tried the shortcuts, but they did not work on my system. This should not be THAT difficult, and it did not used to be.
