Looks like same thing as here:

This query:
select `TABLE_NAME` from `INFORMATION_SCHEMA`.`TABLES` where `TABLE_SCHEMA` = 'your database' and `TABLE_TYPE` = 'BASE TABLE'
is what SQLyog sends to 'fill out' the Object Browser with tables. I think it does not return anything either?
(replace 'BASE TABLE' with 'VIEW' and you have what is needed to show Views).
You should absolutely not need to read the Ex2fs/Ext3fs 'Lost+found' folder! This folder is used only by a file system utility (similar to 'checkdsk' on Windows) to recover files that have been lost.
I think you should tell the sysadmin the examples of queries that you should be able to get result from and te error messages that you get.
