That may be because the desktop does not know your specific PATH setting. (Only
your sh knows).
To set it for the desktop, create the file "~/.pam_environment". (This expands
the file "/etc/security/pam_env.conf" on your login. Should be there, but maybe
is empty)
The syntax of this file is described in "man pam_env". For examples look into
"/etc/security/pam_env.conf"
Define the PATH like this (On my ubuntu):
PATH OVERRIDE=/usr/local/texlive/2011/bin/x86_64-linux:${PATH}
provided the path to your latex is the same

Hi, The paths are all correct, Starting lyx from the terminal and
reconfiguring did the trick as far as using TexLive2011 goes I just
can't start Lyx from the desktop icon if I want to use TexLive2011,
but I can live with that. It can be done but time is short . There are
other problems but I will post separate question about them. \

It won't be activated until you comiple something. Create a new Lyx
file with just a word in in it and then do View>>pdflatex (for
instance). After successful compilaiton you should be able to see the
log file
> Tools >> Tex with "show path" is showing packages

Right, I guess the problem is that lyx finds the ubuntu packages
before it hits texlive.
First of all: have you reconfigured Lyx (Tools>>Reconfigure)? It may
be all you need.
If that does not work, a couple of options:
1. Uninstall the Ubuntu text-live package. This may not be feasible,
though, because you probably have it as a dependence of Lyx and
possibly other packages
There is a way to replace Ubuntu's outdated texlive with a "dummy"
package but I am afraid I forget how to do it. Other people on the
list may know (I left Ubuntu some time ago).
2. Check the order of your executable path in your $PATH environmental
variable. In fact, open a terminal and do
$which pdflatex
you should get something like:
/usr/local/texlive/2011/bin/x86_64-linux/pdflatex
and then do something like:
$kpsewhich fontspec.sty
and you shoud get
/usr/local/texlive/2011/texmf-dist/tex/latex/fontspec/fontspec.sty
If not, try
$printenv $PATH
Do you see the path to the texlive2011 installation occurring before
the path to the Ubuntu installed executables?

Thanks Stefano,
Document >> Latex Log is greyed out
Tools >> Tex with "show path" is showing packages
from /usr/share/texmf-texlive/tex/generic/foo/foo.sty (for example)
so it would seem lyx is not aware of TexLive2011 in /usr/local/
Any ideas?

Tools>>Tex information will tell you which Tex packages Lyx is aware.
If you check the box
called "show path" it will tell you where the packages are.
the fontspec package should be loaded automatically if you choose
non-TeX fonts. You can check if that's the case by choosing
View>>Source, and checking the box "Full source." Scroll back to the
beginning of the source doc and you should be able to see the
\fontspec command.
Hope it helps,
Stefano

Hi,
Is that right? Which logfile should I check? The
dialogue /documents/settings/fonts/use non-Tex fonts via XeTex/LuaTex,
is greyed out. The package fontspec needs to be installed to use this
dialogue box, it is installed in TexLive2011
(/usr/local/texlive/2011/texmf-dist/tex/latex/fontspec/fontspec.sty) on
my system, but the box is still greyed out. Do you need to put
\usepackage{fontspec} in the preamble of every document to use XeTex ?

configuring lyx to use an alternative Texlive version
I would like to configure Lyx to use Texlive2011 in ubuntu 11.10, to use the latest version of Xetex. My system installed Texlive is Texlive2009 I have installed Texlive2011 as per the Texlive page http://tug.org/texlive/doc/texlive-en/texlive-en.html#x1-170003.1.1 in /usr/local/texlive. Added all the suggested lines to my .bashrc. Starting Xetex in the terminal produces the message Code This is XeTeX, Version 3.1415926-2.3-0.9997.5 (TeX Live 2011) restricted \write18 enabled. Code ends I imagine this is ok. How do I configure lyx to find texlive2011 in /usr/local/ instead of using the system default? Alasdair
