Please include the output of the following commands:
# debconf-show tex-common
# ls -al /var/cache/fonts/
# debconf-show tex-common
* tex-common/managecache: true
tex-common/groupname: users
tex-common/check_texmf_wrong:
tex-common/check_texmf_missing:
tex-common/cnf_name:
# ls -al /var/cache/fonts/
total 24

Did you read /usr/share/doc/tex-common/README.Debian?
I just did, now. So, I ran
# dpkg-reconfigure -plow tex-common
and now
# debconf-show tex-common
* tex-common/managecache: true
* tex-common/groupname: users
tex-common/check_texmf_wrong:
tex-common/check_texmf_missing:
tex-common/cnf_name:
# ls -al /var/cache/fonts/
has not changed.
I tested Lyx again, but still have the same problem. Though, once I have
created a dvi of a file with root, my normal user account is then able to
"create" the same dvi. But testing other Lyx files (not yet DVI viewed by
root), results in the error.
