Maybe you can try: - create new user and run lyx in a completely new environment - change desktop environment (KDE/xfce/Gnome/...) - try disabling/enabling wayland HTH G. I got it working!!! When I get the portal message the lyx window obscures another window. It is the "Portal" that I wrote about before and it very similar to a file manager window. I can use it, instead of the file manager, to choose the lyx files to open and it works fine. Thereafter, I can use "open recent files to get what I want. This is all new to me.

Please check your 'preferences' file ( in the .lyx dir) for the entry \use_native_filedialog true If not there, you could enter (via text-editor) the line \use_native_filedialog false.

Rather than removing LyX again (or, worse, reinstalling Fedora), you might try deleting the LyX configuration info and any local files. I'm not familiar with Fedora, but on Ubuntu and Mint I would delete ~/.lyx (and everything under it) and ~/.config/LyX. I'd also make sure that method I was using to start LyX did not involve a shortcut with any special settings (naming a file to open, or a working directory, or anything). Starting it from a terminal would be safest. If that still leads to a "Portal" message and/or a freeze, wiser minds will need to consult. If LyX opens and tells you to run the configuration script and restart, hopefully you'll be in business. Paul Paul, No good news. This is what I tried. Deleted ~/.lyx and ~/.config/LyX/lyx.conf. Also deleted any file that appears in a dot folder in my home directory with the name lyx. Opened LyX, got the splash screen. Did Tools-> Reconfigure, exited and restarted LyX. Opened LyX, got a window in the center giving me the version number. Did File->Open and LyX immediately froze with message at top "Portal Select File is Open". I had to manually kill the LyX process. I am running LyX from my local drive and my LyX document files are all local. Everything about my OS appears stable and I have the latest OS updates.
