Thanks, Paul, for your quick answer.
I am using Debian, but can't find /tmp in my home.

Can I just create it and would LyX find this, or how do I tell LyX how 
to find it?
Or: How do I find out what LyX uses in my system?

I tried without success:

find -iname 'tmp'  >finds

./.config/libreoffice/4/user/extensions/tmp
./.config/GIMP/2.10/tmp
./.imagej/tmp
./.local/share/akonadi_maildir_resource_0/trash/tmp
...
./.local/share/akonadi_maildir_resource_0/drafts/tmp
./.local/share/akonadi_maildir_resource_0/sent-mail/tmp
./.local/share/local-mail/tmp
./.gimp-2.8/tmp

find -iname 'lyx_tmpbuf*' >finds nothing
find -iname 'tmpbuf*' >finds nothing
