This is somewhat heartening; I hope the problem is with my setup and not with LyX.

No, there are no errors in the Messages Pane.

Running LyX from terminal I got the following:

qt.qpa.fonts: Populating font family aliases took 163 ms. Replace uses of missing font family "Serif" with one that exists to avoid this cost. 
Warning: Failed: dvips lyxpreviewZhflDz.dvi ... looking for PDF
Error: Failed to extract metrics info from lyxpreviewZhflDz.log

There is probably some useful information here but I don’t know what to make of it.
