If, on the other hand, you are using Kubuntu's Tex packages, the situation is more complicated. According to this, one year old link [1], (K)Ubuntu is using old versions for both biblatex and biber, and should be avoided by switching to a true texlive installation instead. I actually followed that strategy myself when still using Ubuntu, before I eventually switched to a different Linux distribution altogether (Archilinux) which has a much better support of TeXLive (among other advantages). Hopefully the situation has improved with more recent versions of Ubuntu. The bottom line, though, is that the difficulties in installing biber/biblatex on Linux are distribution dependent, and totally independent of LyX. The difficulties with using biblatex in LyX, however, are a real problem. I just started working on it, but don't expect any results soon.
