You're looking in the wrong place, I think. That string is in the Output 
section and has to do with forward search (the ability to jump to 
locations in the PDF corresponding to ones in the LyX file). You want to 
look under File Handling> File Formats, and then choose PDF (pdflatex) 
at the top. Is a viewer selected there?

You might also try running LyX from a terminal with "lyx -dbg files". 
It's possible you will get some kind of error message. You should see 
something like:

Format.cpp (706): Executing command: okular "file.pdf"

after compilation completes.
