this under MX Linux 21, and the Lyx version they provide is 2.3.6-1.  I am
reluctant to un-install and re-install, because I need this to work for the
next few days.

I still do not know how to insert a functioning, clickable url into a
lyx/beamer presentation.

Hi Ehud,

You might have looked into the examples folder in the user directory. This
folder should be empty with fresh lyx installation.

You can find the location of lyx's system directory in Help->About LyX,
this is the directory I meant for you to look, sorry for not clarifying
that.

You can find more information about LyX's directories in Lyx wiki
<https://wiki.lyx.org/LyX/SystemDir>.

Regards,
Udi
