In your paper “Using Sweave with Lyx” (great work bty) you pointed out that one can see the sweave error code when processing when starting lyx from the terminal.

Perhaps something like this on my linux box (text following $ are shell commands)
# Find the lyx binary
$ which lyx
/usr/bin/lyx
# Start lyx from console
$ lyx&
