RE: Solved: Bibtex Problem
Thank you for your quick answers! Tracing the problem I really found a syntax
error in my database. Somehow confused by diacritic latex commands I used
\.v{S} instead of \v{S} in one of the new entries, what somehow stopped lyx
reading this and the following references. I removed it and now happily use
all the references re-copied from my second database with only one.
works perfectly.

Hi,
I've got a problem inserting bibtex entries into my masterthesis.
I added a new entry into my bibtex database (using kbibtex). Within the
program it shows up, but in the citation insert dialogue inside lyx it
won't . It's a standard entry, and i already have a literature list added in
the end of my document (that lists the other inserted citations
beautifully) - is there maybe a database limit that lyx can handle?
(my database has about a hundred entries, that shouldn't be too much)
thanks in advance,
daniel

Solved: Bibtex Problem
Hi, I just solved my problem regarding the bibtex citations. There seems to be a limit of entries, that lyx can read from the database. I didn't count the number of entries completely (as said the database is about a hundred entries). Now I opened a new database, that include the references, which lyx didn't see in the insert citation dialogue so far. This one I linked with the literature list in the end of the document - and they are listed! Daniel PS: if somehow possible, this problem resolved would be a great improvement for this really good program (maybe next version - I'm using 1.5.3 linux, kbibtex 0.1.5, kubuntu 7.10) ---BeginMessage--- Hi, I've got a problem inserting bibtex entries into my masterthesis.

Re: Solved: Bibtex Problem
I agree with Jurgen: my bibtex database contains now 600 references and I don't have any problem in using it with LyX. On the contrary: being a LyX users for just a few months, I am always amazed by realizing how it is easy and aeffective to insert references in papers using LyX. Obviously it would be a great problem if LyX coun't use a big database for managing references so as that LyX users would be compelled to split their database in several smaller dtabases. So I would say that there is no such a limit to entries that lyx can read from the database as Daniel says.

I have been trying to get the bibtex referencing to work with a very
simple documents in Linux but my problems looks similar than described
here for the windows. Reference looks good when writing the text in Lyx,

where the text would only show the references number ([3], [21], ...) and
in the end of the document would be a list of all referenced material

I have attached the example files within this document in tar.bz2 package.

As the error message states: you are using invalid white space in the argument
of the citation entry. Change the bibliography key from Embedded Systems
Architecture to EmbeddedSystemsArchitecture, and you're done (I'm actually
surprised that kbibtex lets you create such a key; pybliographer here
complains that it is invalid; I'd suggest to write a big report to the

Lyx Bibtex Problem
Hello! I actually have a problem with Lyx 1.4.1 and Bibtex (running on Windows XP) similar to one reported few days ago. But I couldn´t manage to solve it. I included a Bibtex Bibliography in my Document and chose Natbib Style for Citations. Everything worked fine for almost 2 months. Unfortunately something went wrong. I still can cite in Lyx, Lyx itself displays my citations properly, so everything is fine, the path therefore seems to be correct. However, when I try to convert to DVI, all citations are lost and replaced by a [?]. The Reference section at the end of the document is completely missing. When I try to convert a recent file, everything works properly. I haven´t changed any configurations since then. Actually, the current file has worked properly before, I haven´t changed anything, not even a single letter. I tried the files on another computer, same problem. The recent files work, the new one fails. I observed that the old file is converted the following: Latex Run 1, Bibtex, Latex 2,3,4 and buffer write. With the new file, Latex runs 3 and 4 are missing. The Temporary file however contains the .bib database, at least, I cannot find any discrepancy between the Temps of the recent files and the new files. So what is going on with my document. There aren´t any Latex errors. Thanks a lot in advance Karin

Re: Lyx Bibtex Problem
Ok, thanks. Sorry again for asking, but how can I manage to figure out where the problem is. The .bbl file in the temp obviously is empty, so how can I fix that? My default technique here is as follows: Export to LaTeX and do everything manually. If that works, then, well, it works, and you can at least deal with it that way. If not, then I would hope to figure out thereby what's wrong. And if you're not getting LaTeX runs after the first, then I'm guessing you're getting an error during the BibTeX run. Why, I don't know, but doing it all manually should show you. The other option, suggested earlier, is to go to the temporary LyX directory and run everything manually there. Since I'm not on Windows, I don't know exactly how you'd do that. On Linux, it'd be: #latex filename #bibtex filename #latex filename #..repeat as necessary... from the shell. Presumably, it's something similar in Windows. Richard

Presumably, it's something similar in Windows. Yes. Assuming that we're in the temp directory, with LyX still open, after View-DVI has failed, there should already be a .tex file containing the exported document. Call it mydoc.tex. Assuming that the MikTeX bin directory (or the bin directory for whatever LaTeX distribution Karin has) is on the system command path, she should run latex mydoc bibtex mydoc latex mydoc (repeated as needed). If the bin directory is not on the system path, supply a full path to each command (e.g., C:\Program Files\MikTeX\bin\latex.exe mydoc, etc.). Again, View-DVI appears to be doing the first two runs, so it might be worthwhile to start with the third run (second latex run). If that does not provide useful information, Karin should run the entire sequence above. If Karin's .bbl file exists but is empty, chances are that BibTeX has failed. This sometimes happens if a defective bibliographic entry (meaning one that is incorrectly formatted in the .bib file) is used. When that happens, the easiest way to track it down is bisection search. Remove half the citations and try to compile. If the document compiles, add in half the omitted citations; if it fails, remove half the remaining citations. Keep doing this until the offending citation is identified. /Paul
Lyx Bibtex Problem
Hello! I actually have a problem with Lyx 1.4.1 and Bibtex (running on Windows XP) similar to one reported few days ago. But I couldn´t manage to solve it. I included a Bibtex Bibliography in my Document and chose Natbib Style for Citations. Everything worked fine for almost 2 months. Unfortunately something went wrong. I still can cite in Lyx, Lyx itself displays my citations properly, so everything is fine, the path therefore seems to be correct. However, when I try to convert to DVI, all citations are lost and replaced by a [?]. The Reference section at the end of the document is completely missing. When I try to convert a recent file, everything works properly. I haven´t changed any configurations since then. Actually, the current file has worked properly before, I haven´t changed anything, not even a single letter. I tried the files on another computer, same problem. The recent files work, the new one fails. I observed that the old file is converted the following: Latex Run 1, Bibtex, Latex 2,3,4 and buffer write. With the new file, Latex runs 3 and 4 are missing. The Temporary file however contains the .bib database, at least, I cannot find any discrepancy between the Temps of the recent files and the new files. So what is going on with my document. There aren´t any Latex errors. Thanks a lot in advance Karin

BibTex problem with Lyx 1.4.3
Hello. I'm running the Linux version 1.4.3 on Fedora
5 (64 bit). I'm having trouble with the usual tried
and true method of inserting references with BibTex.
My addition of citations seems to work fine when I
look at the lyx file itself, but the output to DVI or
PDF just gives [?] for the citations, and the
References section is blank.
Here's what I did...
At the end of my document I did this:
Insert -- List/TOC -- BibTex bibliography
I added a .bib file to the Database (specifying the
full path), I chose the plain style, and clicked the
Add bibliography to TOC box.
For the Bibliography document setting I'm using the
Natbib citation style.
Here are some of the error messages that appear when I
try to look at the DVI output. It seems to complain
that it can't find or open database files, yet I
can still add citations within the lyx environment as
if everything is fine. That is, it seems that lyx
itself recognizes the .bib file just fine. What's
going on?

problem?

Not likely. LyX deliberately mangles path names to prevent spaces in
paths (on Windoze) from breaking things. There may be other reasons as
well for the mangling, but that's the one I know. The leading digit in
the file name has something to do, I think, with having multiple
documents open (or multiple parts of a document). I'm a bit fuzzy
there, but I've seen leading digits on my files with no harm done.
If you open the document in LyX, try to view it, and then (without
closing LyX) peek into the LyX temp directory, is
0_home_latex_bibfiles__refs_BibEdit_2.bib there? What about
0_home_arc_latex_bibfiles_neurosci_refs_BibEdit_2.bib? (Am I right that
you have listed two different bibliography files in your document?)
My initial guess would be that LyX failed to copy one or both
bibliography files over to the temp directory. I think that the symptom
in the DVI file (? where you expect a reference) can occur if the bib
files contain indigestible references (a misplaced brace or something),
but the couldn't open error sounds more like a missing file (or one
with a permissions problem).

Thanks Bo. I managed to do my own fix before trying out your suggestion, so I don't know if what you suggest would've done the trick. But, after a reinstallation I did try using the plain style with natbib and it worked fine (this was after I fixed the problem; see below). For the interested, I was also having this exact same bibtex woes using the apalike style. My fix was of the hammering eggshells variety. Since I'm running 64-bit Fedora 5, I decided to wipe out every lyx related package and reinstall using the 32-bit versions. Specifically, the packages I removed and installed are: REMOVED (64-bit fedora core 5 versions) lyx lyx-qt lyx-debuginfo mathml-fonts aspell aspell-en INSTALLED (32-bit fedora core 5 versions) lyx-1.4.3-3.fc5.i386.rpm lyx-qt-1.4.3-3.fc5.i386.rpm qt-3.3.6-0.4.fc5.i386.rpm lyx-debuginfo-1.4.3-3.fc5.i386.rpm mathml-fonts-1.0-21.fc5.noarch.rpm aiksaurus-1.2.1-13.i386.rpm aspell-0.60.3-5.i386.rpm After the smoke cleared, my bibtex problem disappeared. Voila. It's conceivable, I guess, that wiping out the 64-bit versions and reinstalling them might've had the same effect. I just don't know. Maybe it's a glitch in one of the packages of the Fedora repositories. Also, Richard Heck suggested the following (which did not cure the bibtex problem, unfortunately). I mention it here for future browsers: --- LyX copies your .bib files into its temporary directory when it compiles the LaTeX, and in doing so it re-writes the names of the files. So this is normal. The problem appears to be that LyX isn't finding the .bib file and so isn't copying it into the temporary directory and so you're getting this error message. Check the path information and, if necessary, check the permissions on the .bib file and, for that matter, the temporary directory LyX is creating. Richard --- __ Do You Yahoo!? Tired of spam? Yahoo!

Here are some of the error messages that appear when I
try to look at the DVI output. It seems to complain
that it can't find or open database files, yet I
can still add citations within the lyx environment as
if everything is fine. That is, it seems that lyx
itself recognizes the .bib file just fine. What's
going on?

Not likely. LyX deliberately mangles path names to prevent spaces in
paths (on Windoze) from breaking things. There may be other reasons as
well for the mangling, but that's the one I know. The leading digit in
the file name has something to do, I think, with having multiple
documents open (or multiple parts of a document). I'm a bit fuzzy
there, but I've seen leading digits on my files with no harm done.
If you open the document in LyX, try to view it, and then (without
closing LyX) peek into the LyX temp directory, is
0_home_latex_bibfiles__refs_BibEdit_2.bib there? What about
0_home_arc_latex_bibfiles_neurosci_refs_BibEdit_2.bib? (Am I right that
you have listed two different bibliography files in your document?)
My initial guess would be that LyX failed to copy one or both
bibliography files over to the temp directory. I think that the symptom
in the DVI file (? where you expect a reference) can occur if the bib
files contain indigestible references (a misplaced brace or something),
but the couldn't open error sounds more like a missing file (or one
with a permissions problem).

Thanks Bo. I managed to do my own fix before trying out your suggestion, so I don't know if what you suggest would've done the trick. But, after a reinstallation I did try using the plain style with natbib and it worked fine (this was after I fixed the problem; see below). For the interested, I was also having this exact same bibtex woes using the apalike style. My fix was of the hammering eggshells variety. Since I'm running 64-bit Fedora 5, I decided to wipe out every lyx related package and reinstall using the 32-bit versions.

Voila. It's conceivable, I guess, that wiping out the 64-bit versions and reinstalling them might've had the same effect. I just don't know. Maybe it's a glitch in one of the packages of the Fedora repositories. Also, Richard Heck suggested the following (which did not cure the bibtex problem, unfortunately). I mention it here for future browsers: --- LyX copies your .bib files into its temporary directory when it compiles the LaTeX, and in doing so it re-writes the names of the files. So this is normal. The problem appears to be that LyX isn't finding the .bib file and so isn't copying it into the temporary directory and so you're getting this error message. Check the path information and, if necessary, check the permissions on the .bib file and, for that matter, the temporary directory LyX is creating. Richard --- __ Do You Yahoo!? Tired of spam? Yahoo!

BibTex problem with Lyx 1.4.3
Hello. I'm running the Linux version 1.4.3 on Fedora
5 (64 bit). I'm having trouble with the usual tried
and true method of inserting references with BibTex.
My addition of citations seems to work fine when I
look at the lyx file itself, but the output to DVI or
PDF just gives [?] for the citations, and the
References section is blank.
Here's what I did...
At the end of my document I did this:
Insert --> List/TOC --> BibTex bibliography
I added a .bib file to the Database (specifying the
full path), I chose the "plain" style, and clicked the
"Add bibliography to TOC" box.
For the Bibliography document setting I'm using the
"Natbib" citation style.
Here are some of the error messages that appear when I
try to look at the DVI output. It seems to complain
that it can't "find" or "open" database files, yet I
can still add citations within the lyx environment as
if everything is fine. That is, it seems that lyx
itself recognizes the .bib file just fine. What's
going on?

I am using Lyx 1.3.3 for Windows and would like to include my bibligraphy as ususal, but since I have upgraded form 1.3.2 it´s not working anymore. The log file says that the bibtex command could not be found but I know it is in the Miktex folder as usual. Do I have to set a path anywhere in the Lyx frontend? No, you do not have to set anything manually. If it is a problem like that, could anybody tell me where to set it? Or could it be another problem? You should probably verify first that it still works and is on your command path (by running bibtex --version in a command window). Then have a look at the setup notes for Windows at http://wiki.lyx.org/pmwiki.php/LyX/Windows.
