Günter,
thanks for your comment and tips, I'm not giving up yet.
I experienced exactly the same in openSUSE Leap, first neither the
bibtex-version nor the biber-version worked until all in a sudden both
did out of the blue.
Obviously there are few people using Miede's thesis. It produces
beautiful documents - I use it for Linguistic papers.
If successful I will revert back to you.
Cheers and thanks again.
Michael

Is 'biber' installed or not: see the screenshot
The screenshot and it does not help. I don't have any idea about Mageia6.
But if reconfigure does not make "biber" appear, biber is not installed---at
least not in at a place where LyX can find it.
I have Mageia 6, KDE
You may try in a terminal the commands `biber --help`
and `which biber` to see whether it works and where it is installed (if it
is).
Ultimatively, you should look for help with someone knowing Mageia and TeX
at Mageia.
