I cannot reproduce the problem in the Linux version of LyX; I've tried it with LyX documents I created long before LyX 2 appeared but they all export to PDF correctly. So I cannot explain how to resolve the problem.
I would recommend - as you may have picked up in the Help - the KOMAScript book document class for a thesis. You need to add the TeX commands \frontmatter right at the start of the document before the Subject or Title and then \mainmatter before the first numbered chapter. Using Document>Start appendix here will produced lettered appendices after the main matter. If you need sections after the appendices, use the TeX command\backmatter which, as with the front matter, will remove numbering in the output (but not in LyX). If you need multiple lists of references/bibliographies plan the layout so that each can fall within a separate bibtopic unit - none of which can be nested. If you need any other tweaks, the KOMA Script documentation offers a lot of formatting options. John --
