I am sorry for the slow responses still dealing with the last bits of
the first semester here.

First there is a remark that needs to be done. Since lyx-devel uses a
different configuration directory, by default ~/.lyx-devel, the
configurations are not synchronized with those used by LyX 2.3 (that
should be using, in general, ~/.lyx.

LyX has debugging options that allow a better handling of the several
internal processes.

Please, both to you and @Neal Becker, try to run LyX 2.4 from the
command line like this:

$ lyx-devel -dbg graphics

Is there any interesting bit in the console?

Best regards,
