Hifza, if you have your file on dropbox you can use LyX on the cloud through the website www.rollapp.com without the need to have it installed on your computer.

Hello.

I have been writing my thesis for a while with lyx and i must
be done by tomorrow and lyx is not functioning properly. i ran
the packaging manager and wanted to install a new package when
all of a sudden miktex error appeared and since then all
document classes are lost and so are the packages installed
earlier (jurabib etc.). I reallly need help now. I have
re-installed lyx many times now (newest version 2.1.3 answell
as the older versions) but nothing works out.
It sounds as if MikTeX is your problem. Have you re-installed
it?

Hifza, this is both a suggestion to you and a question to others as
to whether it's feasible.

If Richard's idea didn't work, then today is the "tomorrow" you
mentioned, and your priority is to get the thing printed, not to
solve a technical problem.

Do you have a friend with LyX set up on another computer? Perhaps
you can get it printed on his/hers, perhaps after installing some
packages.

Everyone: How time consuming would it be for him to throw on
Ubuntu 14.04 and get LyX running there? Or, if he's already running
Ubuntu 14.04, perhaps Debian Wheezy?

Hifza, I'm so sorry about this. It really sucks, and I hope a
solution can be found in time.

Virtual box and try installing Ubuntu, Fedora, etc and share a folder.
Export to PDF or allow USB passthrough to your printer (unless it's a
network printer.)

Ubuntu and Fedora would be about 5 minutes of your time to start a
download going, and run through a generic installer on vanilla Virtual
Box hardware.

Honestly the longest time would be getting Virtual Box setup with
making sure the modules are compiled for your kernel and making sure
that your user is added to the virtual box group.

That's where I'd be going. Or a wipe and reinstall making sure you
have 10 duplicates of all your thesis data!
