The only thing I can change (starting from the file I attached) is the document class. I can set it to Article (Standard Class) and it looks better (it is one page instead of a spread out two pages).
OK. I updated the description in the Wiki accordingly.
If I change the language to Farsi (regardless of whether I change "Language Package" pack to "default"), I get several errors, the first two of which are: ! Undefined control sequence. \@title ->به \textLR ! LaTeX Error: Command \farsiya unavailable in encoding LAE.
Then your installation of the LaTeX package "arabi" is incorrect. I see that the description in http://wiki.lyx.org/Windows/Farsi#sWindows.Farsi_6is wrong. It described to use Farsi with arabtex, but this is a nasty hack! For a proper usage you must use the package "arabi"!
Can you compile the attached Arabic file? It uses arabi.
If I remove the \DeclareTextSymbol commands in the custom preamble, I get: ! LaTeX Error: Command \guillemotright unavailable in encoding LFE.
Of course because \guillemotright is reqierd for Farsi and that is why we load the \DeclareTextSymbol statements automatically when you use the document language to Farsi.
I can't remove either of the LaTeX font encodings (LFE or LAE).
This is correct, because both are required for Farsi and handled automatically by LyX when you use the document language to Farsi.
So your LaTeX installation seems to be broken. I just checked TeXLive and with plain TeXLive 2012 I can compile Farsi without problems. It seems that your Ubuntu modified TeXLive, which is a bug. They should distribute TeXLive as it is without modifications. Maybe it helps you if you use plain TeXLive 2012 as well and kick out your Ubuntu TeXLive.
