I attach here the lyxrc.defaults produced by Tools->Reconfigure. It is even weirder that, when it is present and I choose View->PDF, I see sh: auto: command not found printed on the terminal and then Acrobat5 is used for showing the .pdf instead of Acroread7. Acrobat5 was the previous app associated to pdf files. So it seems that "auto" is tried as a command for viewing and, failing that, the previous app associated with .pdf is tried. -- Enrico
