If you installed through the suftware-centre, 2011 has been *updated* to 2012. Consequeently, yo should have only 2012 installed (try to execute latex --version in e terminal, and it should tell you: rkrug@ecolmod:~$ latex --version pdfTeX 3.1415926-2.4-1.40.13 (TeX Live 2012) ... then you have 2012 installed. Your version might be different, as I have a local install in my home directory of LaTeX) LyX should use 2012 now by default, but I would recommend to reconfigure LyX. > TeXLive 2011 seems to be in usr/share/lyx but I don't seem to see the 2012 > version unless it is > in /home/documents/install-tl-20110511/tlpkg/Texlive.

Are you sure you did not install from the texlive installer?
