From experience this means that you have a old layout file or module that have an encoding that is not utf-8. In your case I assume that the culprit is either in latin1 or latin9 (the difference between those is the presence/ absence of the euro sign). Also I thought that we had fixed all the remainder errors like this in 2.3.5.2 So my suggestion is to go to your personal lyx directory and check the encoding of file. By default in linux the location of the personal directory is ~/.lyx. You can see this in LyX using the menu: Help->About LyX->Version and see the User dir entry there. Using the shell in my case I have: $ cd ~/.lyx $ file bind/* bind/user.bind: ASCII text My suggestion is to check the layouts directory that could be the likely source of the problem: $ file layouts/* What happens if from the command line you run directly: $ python /usr/share/lyx/configure.py That will tells where does the code fails and it will be easier to diagnose the issue. > Finally, when executing Reconfigure, an error dialog appears with the > following message: > > The system reconfiguration has failed. > > Default textclass is used but LyX may > > not be able to work properly. > > Please reconfigure again if needed. > > > > I've run Reconfigure several times, but the modules still don't appear.

Hi:
I take a long time without using /LyX/, but my package manager has
been updating lyx when new versions come out. Nowadays, I have
installed version 2.3.5.2 (OS: Ubuntu 18.04).
Today I tried to edit a file, with lyxformat 544, but /LyX/ tells me a
module is missing. Looking at the module dialogue I found that no
module is available.
I've checked that the standard module files are in
/usr/share/lyx/layouts, and besides them I have some other modules in
~/.lyx/layouts.
When I run /LyX/ from a terminal I can notice the following error:
UnicodeDecodeError: 'utf8' codec can't decode byte 0xa9 in position
395: invalid start byte support/Systemcall.cpp (276): Systemcall:
'python -tt "/usr/share/lyx/configure.py" --binary-dir="/usr/bin/"'
finished with exit code 1
LyX: Done!
Finally, when executing *Reconfigure*, an error dialog appears with
the following message:
The system reconfiguration has failed.
Default textclass is used but LyX may
not be able to work properly.
Please reconfigure again if needed.
I've run *Reconfigure* several times, but the modules still don't
appear.Any leads on what's not going well?
Cheers

It would be nice to know if the alleged non-UTF8 character is in
configure.py or in some file it is trying to read.
I've attached configure.py from my system (Linux Mint 19.3). You might
start by comparing it to the one on your system (in /usr/share/lyx)
using diff, meld or whatever tool you prefer. If there is a discrepancy,
try reconfiguring using my copy.
If there's no difference in the script files, I would suggest trying to
run the configuration script directly in a terminal (python -tt
"/usr/share/lyx/configure.py" --binary-dir="/usr/bin/"). If you get the
same error message, check ~/.lyx/configure.log to see if you can figure
out where the error occurred, and maybe post the log here.
