I ran into this problem just this weekend (using the 2.1.0 dev version
of LyX on a debian-based system). I happen to have figured out what I
did wrong, though it didn't have anything to do with forward/reverse
searches; I thought the condition was interesting: I put some ERT into
my document to change some enumeration settings (explicitly, the
following command to change numbering to a lowercase letter surrounded
by parentheses: \renewcommand{\theenumi}{(\alph{enumi})}). Later on,
though, in playing with that command, I changed it to the following:
\renewcommand{\theenumi}{(\theenumi)}. This, I think, is a sort of
circular definition, and pdflatex chokes on it, and LyX appears to be
frozen (I think it's waiting for pdflatex to finish its compilation).
If you haven't started LyX from the command line (so that you can
simply ctrl-c it), then you can use the following to kill the process:
>From a command window, run "top" or "htop", and find the process (likely gs or pdflatex) which is eating up resources
and kill it that way.
OR
run the command "ps -ef | grep pdflatex" (or whatever process you
suspect of hanging), which will return the process number of the
program running. Then you can run "kill <process number>" (or, for
extreme maliciousness, "kill -9 <process number>") to make LyX useable
again.
Hope that helps!

*Subject:* Compilation problem
I have a large lyx document (several child documents, together
around 60
pages) and sometimes I have problems compiling the pdf. I even cannot
close lyx, because it says it is still compiling.
1. How can I interrupt the compilation?
2. How can I fix this?
I have Lyx 2.0.5.1 on Linux mint 13. The problem usually occurs when I
enable forward/reverse search (I really need this feature).
Best regards,
Emil
Well, it helps a bit, but I still don't know why pdflatex hangs.
