This is because in older versions of the inputenc package, the literal
characters were not supported.

You may try to copy the file "unicodesymbols" from the LyX library directory
(here /usr/local/src/lyx/lib/) to your personal lyx directory (here ~/.lyx/)
and comment out the lines

#0x201c "\\textquotedblleft"       "" "" # LEFT DOUBLE QUOTATION MARK
#0x201d "\\textquotedblright"      "" "" # RIGHT DOUBLE QUOTATION MARK

and try again.

Hope this helps,
