I tried the user directory on my computer with 2.1.3 and with master,
and it worked fine for me.
Does anyone have any ideas why this happened? I've seen similar topics
come up from
time to time so I'm wondering if there's a bug lurking somewhere.
The full bug report (along with the user's configure output) is here:
https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/lyx/+bug/1430059
After asking the reporter, it turns out that it is because his
lyxrc.default was newer than the configure.py. The configure.py last
modification date is not the date of installation, but the date when the
package got built.
One solution could be to create a new file VERSION in the user directory
that contains the version of LyX that uses it.
It is not fool-proof, but would help in many cases (and can probably be
used in other ways).
The problem however is that configure.py itself does not know LyX
version number. We could let LyX itself create this file (and maybe let
configure.py delete it first, so that there is no wrong VERSION file
laying around).
