These are the commands I used (as su)
add-apt-repository ppa:lyx-devel/release
sudo apt-get update
cp /etc/apt/sources.list /etc/apt/sources.list.bak
nano /etc/apt/sources.list
here I added the two lines with the deb stuff:
## see https://launchpad.net/~lyx-devel/+archive/ubuntu/release
deb http://ppa.launchpad.net/lyx-devel/release/ubuntu trusty main
deb-src http://ppa.launchpad.net/lyx-devel/release/ubuntu trusty main

I have installed the ubuntu trusty binaries for the 2.1.1 LyX release on my

How do I now get the new LyX? Typing lyx & gives me my old Lyx1.06.

Strange. What version of Ubuntu? Did you install `lyx` (NOT `lyx1.6`
or `lyx2.0`)? From the PPA? On running `lyx` (do this from from a
terminal) you should get version 2.1.1.

We are proud to announce the release of LyX 2.1.1. This is the first
maintenance release in the 2.1.x series.
LyX is a document processor that encourages an approach to writing based
on the structure of your documents and not simply their appearance. It is
released under a Free and Open Source Software license.
You can download LyX 2.1.1 from http://www.lyx.org/Download/.
LyX 2.1.1 is the result of on-going efforts to make our stable version
even more reliable and stable. We have fixed a number of bugs and made
a number of improvements. These are detailed below. We strongly encourage
all LyX users to upgrade to this version.
Several users have reported seemingly random crashes with 2.1.0, sometimes
resulting in dataloss. These crashes appear to happen when the user attempts
to save a file, and the dataloss occurs because the original LyX file is
over-
written by a corrupt file that then cannot be opened. The seemingly random
crashes, we believe, are due to auto-save, which is enabled or disabled in
Tools> Preferences> Document Handling > "Backup documents every...minutes".
Unfortunately, we have been unable to find the cause of this bug, though all
known reports seem to involve documents that contain tables, and the corrupt
file always ends with: \begin_inset Tabular.
To prevent dataloss, we have changed the way LyX saves files if the user
has not enabled backups. LyX now renames the existing file before
attempting to save the new one (in effect, making a temporary backup).
Then, if the save fails, the original file can be restored.
If you think you have found a bug in LyX 2.1.1, either e-mail the LyX
developers' mailing list (lyx-devel <at> lists.lyx.org) or open a bug
report at http://www.lyx.org/trac/wiki/BugTrackerHome.
If you have trouble using LyX or have a question, consult the
documentation that comes with LyX and the LyX wiki, which lives at
http://wiki.lyx.org/. If you can't find the answer there, e-mail the LyX
users' list (lyx-users at lists.lyx.org).
We hope you enjoy using LyX 2.1.1.
The LyX team.

What's new
==========
** Updates:
***********
* DOCUMENT INPUT/OUTPUT
- We now flush the output stream more frequently, as a temporary measure
to help us gather information about the crash mentioned above.
- To prevent dataloss, we have changed the way LyX saves files if the user
has not enabled backups. LyX now renames the existing file before
attempting to save the new one (in effect, making a temporary backup).
Then, if the save fails, the original file can be restored.
* DOCUMENTATION AND LOCALIZATION
- Updated Chinese (simplified), French, Interlingua, Japanese, Spanish,
Swedish and Ukrainian user interface localizations.

We have fixed several significant issues involving conversion of 2.0 format

format.
- Fix conversion of beamer blocks with preceding or trailing blanks.
