Thanks, Rich Rich, In order to try to compile the doc, LyX has to write a .tex file someplace, and that someplace has to be the "tempbuf" directory. As long as you don't close LyX (and barring a rift in the space-time continuum), that buffer directory and its contents should stay put. To see a bit more about what's going on, try running "lyx -dbg files" in a terminal. It will tell you where it's parking things and what names it's giving them. I tried this with one of your mwe.lyx files and encountered something surprising. The file loaded into LyX without any major complaints. (There was a message "Bibinfo cache was invalid", which probably does not amount to anything.) When I tried to compile it, I got an export error message related to the infamous 0xfffc character. The TeX file (mwe.tex) was written to the buffer directory, but there was no LaTeX log file because LyX never reached the point of running pdflatex (or whatever), since the export was flagged as incorrect. Clicking "View Complete Log..." in the error message pane caused LyX to calculate a name and location for the log file but not to create one (because, again, it didn't compile the file, hence no log). Changing the document encoding to "Unicode (utf8)" and compiling produced a log file and a bunch of auxiliary files in the buffer directory. So not finding a log file is probably due to the export error blocking compilation. Not find the buffer directory is likely due to interference by extraterrestrials.

I ran exactly the following (in a terminal):
sudo add-apt-repository ppa:lyx-devel/daily
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install lyx2.1
The 'lyx2.1' and 'lyx-common2.1' packages were installed. I don't believe
any other dependencies needed to be filled.

Re: Font problem in MikTeX 2.9
Two things come to mind. First, open a DOS window and run the command kpsewhich ecsi.mf It should tell you where the ecsi font source code is installed (probably in the jknappen package). If you get a blank line as the response, you need to install a package containing the font. If the font is installed, try opening the MiKTeX settings application and clicking the update formats button. I vaguely recall one or two occasions where installation or update of packages through the package manager somehow bollixed the formats, leading to font errors (on installed fonts); updating formats seemed to fix it.

Re: Using Theorems (Numbered by Type) with Named Theorems
I'm not sure what happened with my previous reply; it seems to be disconnected from this thread. At any rate, I tried another hack: rather than including all the starred theorems (possible undesired pollution of the environment drop-down list), I just hacked theorems-named.module to replace the CopyStyle Theorem* line with the necessary lines from the Theorem* style. In tests, it seems work as expected, allowing the named theorems module to be used with any otherwise legal combination of theorem-related modules (or by itself, without any other theorem modules).

Re: LyX slowness
For what it's worth, I have LyX installed on three machines (Dell desktop, Dell laptop, Acer desktop). All run Linux Mint with the Gnome desktop. The Dells are both Intel 32; the Acer is AMD 64. Both desktops have nVidia displays with nVidia proprietary drivers. I'm not sure about the laptop, but I think that too is nVidia. I've had no problems with display speed on any of them. The math toolbars are both set to open automatically when in a math inset, close when not. Paul
