It seems that LyX is missing its default classes, which results in lots of
messages when starting the application.
In my case, this happens in core-updates using a virtual machine. I can't
reproduce this problem in my real machine, maybe because I have some leftovers
from previous installations of LyX, I don't know.
## Steps to reproduce
1. guix system vm os-config.scm (with GNOME and LyX)
2. Run the resulting virtual machine
3. Log in to the GNOME desktop
4. Press Alt + F2, type lyx2.3 and hit Enter to start LyX
## Expected result
LyX starts without errors and displays the "Welcome to LyX" document.
## Unexpected result
A message about a missing a textclass appears:

Clicking on "Reconfigure" results in an error message about an article class
not found:

Clicking "Ok" results in another message. This time about Cite engine not
available:

Clicking "Ok" here finally takes you to the "Welcome to LyX document".

At this point, however, I don't want to use the application because I would
expect many things to fail. I didn't check if there is any workaround (e.g.
installing packages that provide the missing classes and cite engine).
