Can you check if directory
/usr/share/glib-2.0/schemas
has a file named
org.gnucash.gschema.xml ?

If so you may need to run
sudo /usr/bin/glib-compile-schemas /usr/share/glib-2.0/schemas

If on the other hand that file is missing, that means gnucash was not 
installed properly or packages improperly for lubuntu 16.04.

The latter command should normally be run by the package's post install 
scripts automatically. If it fixes the issue for you, you want to contact the 
lubuntu gnucash package maintainer to double check if this is really happening 
as part of the package installation.

Last suggestion, though I don't think that's the issue here: do you have dconf 
installed on your system ?
