The output from the script is correct, and obviously the Python installation
that the LyX installer deposited on your system is working.  I noticed that LyX
is installed on your E: drive.  Is this a partition of one of your hard drives,
or is this a mapped network drive?  Perhaps more importantly, where is your LyX
user directory (Help > About LyX > Version, "user directory")?  Once upon a time
there were problems with running LyX from a Windows roaming profile (home
directory on a mapped server); I don't know if that's still an issue.

Do you want 

a) both PDF and HTML versions or 
b) just HTML?

with a), you could try eLyXer or the native HTML export from LyX 2.0.

with b), you could still try the above. But I'd recommend a different
source format (e.g. S5). Docutils has S5 and Beamer writers.

the listings package (like in LyX).

Do you run a local TeXLive? Debian comes with texlive 2009 as newest
version.

Yes, this is the Debian setup. With a recent Debian/testing, it is

lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 6 18. Okt 11:05 /usr/bin/latex -> pdftex

referencing from bibus on linux

If this is possible, I'm sure it's been covered somewhere!  If so could someone please point me in the correct
direction?  How can I link lyx 1.6.7 on linux to a bibus database for referencing?

Thanks

My texlive was corrupt.  Cleaned out and reinstalled, now it's working.

One surprise.  Choosing to view my document opened up firefox.  Probably not 

Help: email, affiliation, and job title

I'm a newbie to TEX, LaTEX, LyX, etc. I'm using the Doc Class Article and I need
help adding the following:

Job Title
Email
Affiliation

I've tried \email and \affil and neither worked probably b'cos of the Doc class
I'm using but that's the Doc Class I prefer since I'm putting together a very
simple document.

Would appreciate any help.

Thanks.

There are lots of different article classes, and some of them provide 
commands like these. The fact that your document is simple should not 
determine what class you use. Rather, choose the class on the basis of 
what you need it to do.

LyX does not care what you use to manage your references, but you need 
to export your bibus database in BibTeX format. LyX itself works only 
with BibTeX files.

It should follow the prefix, but I think we did once have a problem with 
its not doing so. The workaround would be to copy the lyx2lyx/ directory 
manually.
