Thanks a lot Liviu and others those who replied. Moving .lyx did the
trick.

Great idea, thanks a lot.

I am assuming that you ran 2.0 beta2 as user, which means that LyX
tried to upgrade your profile settings in ~/.lyx. I am not sure why
the layouts would go missing (are they global layouts shipped with LyX
or custom, local ones?), but you may try to move ~/.lyx to ~/.lyx.bak
and start LyX with a fresh profile; then you would need to reset all
your preferences.

To avoid such experiences in the future try:
- ./configure --with-version-suffix=-svn --enable-build-type=release
- sudo ./lyx

The first will allow you to configure and install SVN LyX alongside
the stable version; then the two use different profile dirs and
happily coexist. The second would avoid messing with your stable
config.

lyx 2.0.0beta2 upgrade problem

2010-12-13 Thread Payal 
Hi,
I am using Ubuntu 10.04 with lyx 1.6.5 installed from Ubuntu
repositories. 
I d/l lyx-2.0.0beta2.tar.gz, extracted it, did ./configure && make and
did NOT do make install. I just went into src/ and did ./lyx from there
and tried it for few mins. 
After that I closed it and in evening opened 1.6.5, but to my horror I
found that many layouts were missing, including that of beamer. Instead
of acrobat reader, pdf was shown in envince.

I want my original layouts and settings back. What should I do now?

Thanks.
With warm regards,
-Payal
