Hello Richard,
I tried to do a re-install from the Ubuntu Software Centre with all packages
enabled. It didn't help.
As I have another installation on my laptop that works (same ubuntu
installation), and have done a dryrun rsync between them checking the
/usr/share/lyx/ and /bjorn/.lyx as you mentioned below:
*You can look at Help>About LyX to find out where the system directory is
meant to be.*
I found that several files were missing, so I rsync'ed them from the laptop
to the desktop. Here are the culprits:
:~$ rsync -rav 192.168.0.3:/home/bjorn/.lyx/ /home/bjorn/.lyx
receiving incremental file list
./
configure.log
lyxmodules.lst
lyxrc.defaults
packages.lst
session
textclass.lst
bind/
cache/
cache/index
clipart/
doc/
examples/
images/
kbd/
layouts/
scripts/
templates/
ui/

*And now lyx works!! -Thank you very much!*
