LyX on foreign distro

[sirgazil <sirgazil@zoho.com>]

Hello, I need some help :)

I'm using LyX 2.3.2-2 installed with Guix 
(a506a4c3801838c0b75b58dd2ac8bb0ccf4279fb) on a foreign distribution, 
and I noticed the following:

1. Buttons in the toolbar do not display icons, just text.
2. I'm getting a "LaTeX Error: File `utf8x.def' not found" when I try to 
export a document to PDF (see full error at the end of this message).

About the second problem, I don't know what I should install with Guix 
to fix it.

When working with LyX documents on Debian 9, I usually install the 
following packages and I can export the documents to PDF:

texlive-lang-SOME_LANGUAGE or texlive-lang-all
texlive-xetex
texlive-publishers

The first two packages install components I need to write multilingual 
documents, and the last package installs some document classes (I need 
IEEEtran.cls specifically).
