In Lyx how do I get chapters to start on odd pages

Question

I'm using Lyx and I want the pdf output to print Contents, new chapters and bib on a odd page. How can I do this?

What information do you require from lyx?
Class is Report.

Document > Configuration > Document class > Class options > write twoside,openright > Check that source code (view menu) start with \documentclass[english,twoside,openright]{report} – Fran

We are almost there!
Now My layout is

Title Page
Abstract // I'd want this on page 2.
Blank (pg2)
Contents (pg3)
Blank (pg4)
Chapter 1 (pg5)

What I really want is

Title Page
Blank <<<< EXTRA BLANK Page
Abstract (p2)
Blank (pg3)
Contents (pg4)
Blank (pg5)
Chapter 1 (pg6)

What info do you need?

Okay I've found a solution.

I inserted Latex code (⌘L) \cleardoublepage{} before Abstract now it is beautiful!

Try adding twoside,openright to the document class options. — Torbjørn T., Mar 18 '14 at 18:44

@TorbjørnT. This question is how to pipe that answer in the GUI Lyx. I'm new to Latex and currently I'd like to stay within my GUI. — Another Compiler Error, Mar 18 '14 at 19:31

Wow, we are almost there! The chapters are on the left page. However left page is ODD. Currently I have Title page, Abstract page, blank pg2, contents pg3, blank pg4, chpt 1 pg5.... ect — Another Compiler Error, Mar 18 '14 at 19:47
I think my abstract is the issue, What info do you guys need? — Another Compiler Error, Mar 18 '14 at 19:52
Reduce (a copy of) your document to a minimal example, i.e. just the smallest amount of content necessary to demonstrate the unwanted behaviour. Then add either the exported LaTeX source or the contents of the .lyx-file itself (it is a plain text file, open it in a text editor, e.g. notepad, and you'll see) to your question. — Torbjørn T., Mar 18 '14 at 20:18

In my case I also had to inserted Latex code (⌘L) \cleardoublepage{} before my abstract.

Amendment: I changed Abstract to an unnumbered chapter and removed \cleardoublepage{} because the previous action caused unusual page numbering before abstract page.

as in this link you don't need to change class settings, just go to

Document->Settings->Page Layout->Two-sided document

(the "openright" option is not needed, it is default).

you need after that to use: clear double page seperator between the chapters
