Paul,

Thank you for your reply.

The next time I opened lyx it froze before I could do anything. Only 
thing I could do was kill the process.

I used dnf to remove lyx and reinstalled it.  This time when I opened 
lyx and before doing anything,  i got a message at the top saying 
"Portal, Select document to open is ready", The message then disappeared 
and lyx froze.  I had to kill the process.

In case there is something wrong with my Fedora installation I could 
reinstall the OS but that is not the solution of my choice.

Any help would be much appreciated.

Joe
