First thing: Before clicking OK in the fonts dialog, make sure that 
"Apply to current session only" is not checked.

Second thing: LyX will try to write the changes to its preferences file 
(in the "screen & fonts" section). On Ubuntu and Mint, that file is 
~/.lyx/preferences. I suspect it's the same on Debian, but if in doubt 
check Help > About LyX for the user directory. If LyX can't write to 
that file due to a permissions issue, the changes would not get saved.
