Can you send a minimal example to the list? In this case it would be a
.lyx file and a .bib file. For more information, see

Glad you got it figured out! Indeed, it can take some time to narrow
down the issue, but it sounds like you got to the bottom of it.

For your curiosity, it's true that LyX changed to now report BibTeX
errors. See

  http://wiki.lyx.org/LyX.NewInLyX22

or Help > About LyX > Release Notes:

  BibTeX errors are now processed and cause LyX to show the errors dialog.
  Before, these errors were ignored, which means that it may happen that
  documents that compiled without error with a previous version now
  compile with error. However, because now in 2.2.x users can click on the
  "Show Output Anyway" button, the document can still be viewed.

Hey Scott et al.,

Thank you for your patience -- and in fact that seemingly simple process
led me to the discovery of the problem. Apparently the new version of lyx
treated some technical errors in my bib file that were not creating or
showing a problem before, but these errors are obviously still wrong. My
bib file is ~560 pages, so I went through and discovered were they are --
and now it seems to work, great!

Hey Lyx users,

Not to be a bother, just wanted to follow up in case anyone has any idea
with what could be going on.

AGUjournal template from class

[Tim Divett]

Hi,

I am looking for a way to use the AGUjournal.cls for AGU's journal Space 
Weather within a Lyx Template. The latest version of their latex class 
was updated on 2016-11-03.


The Lyx template for AGU journals seems to use the now outdated 
AGUTeX.cls which doesn't have a journal class option for Space Weather.


AGU publish several journals with the same .cls file. From what I acn 
gather the journal name should be specified for the old AGUTex Lyx 
template in the Document Settings>Document Class>Class options as a code 
i.e.:jgrga. For the new AGUjournal.cls this is done in the LaTeX switch 
\journalname{Space Weather}.


Strangely, the Lyx template for an AGUTex paper provides a link to 
http://wiki.lyx.org/Examples/AGUTeXwhich tells us to download the newer 
AGUjournal.cls from 
https://publications.agu.org/files/2016/11/agu-template-updated-20161103.zip 
then the instructions for Linux on the wiki say to copy the outdated 
agutex.cls file to a location. This zip file doesn't contain the 
agutex.cls file because it is outdated. It was easy to modify these 
instructions to copy the newer AGUjournal.cls but this has left me 
wondering if I've done something wrong.


Is there a Lyx template that uses the latest AGUjournal class? Or is 
there some way to use it?


I'm using Lyx 2.1.4 on Ubuntu 16.04.

Thanks in advance.

Tim

PS: I'm a huge fan of Lyx, I used it to write my PhD thesis and am very 
grateful to the community that wrote it. Thank you.

problems using LyX 2.1 documents in LyX 2,2.1

[Michael Berger]

Dear all,

I have quite a number / variety of documents (domain linguistic and 
engineering) created with LyX 2.1 and Mageia5 / KDE.


It may take some time till Mageia comes along with newer versions of 
LyX, Latex (this is by no means a negative statement; Mageia is just 
late but great!) and I decided to use and develop my existing documents 
in openSUSE Leap 4.2.2, KDE.


I now have: LyX 2.2.1-2.9 / Kbibtex 0.6-2.6 / the modules csquotes, 
fixme, todonotes and LaTeX are stamped 2015.104


Transformation of most of my old documents went seamless while some 
needed minor adjustments that I could do myself as somebody without any 
programming knowledge.


However, my theses made with Lyx 2.1 / classicthesis-v4.1 and now used 
with LyX 2.2.1 / classicthesis-v4.2 refuse to export to PDF. They start 
an endless loop. In the Lyx Documents I cannot see anything nothing 
wrong; trees in ERT, glosses are there, though the latter look somewhat 
different. I get no error messages at all.


This behavior is identical of both, 
classicthesis-LyX-v4.2-biblatex_biber and 
classicthesis-LyX-v4.2-biblatex_bibtex8


I started several attempts to copy the contents of the old child 
documents into the new child documents but this is slave work and I came 
to conclude that I might as well rewrite the whole thing from scratch  
and let everything be as is until Mageia is up to higher versions.


But the big question remains whether or not problems like this will 
then  be gone!?


After all, is it not Miede's classicthesis that ought to be accordingly 
adjusted to work with latest versions of LyX and LateX?


Any comment is highly appreciated, ideally would be a recipe for making 
my old classicthesis files work with classicthesis-v4.2 and compile in 
Lyx 2.2.x :-D


Cheers and thanks for your continuing support,

Michael

Mageia 6 currently has latest release of LyX (2.2.2):

[Christos Makridis]

Hey Lyx Users,

Thank you very much for the reply. I actually didn't receive a reply
earlier and I checked my spam, so perhaps also copy my gmail (
christos.a.makri...@gmail.com) as well.

I had tried taking out the comma from the citation that Scott mentioned
from the earlier post, but it doesn't solve the problem. I repeated it
again and am including the error message. Just to be clear, the bib file
was working fine on the earlier lyx version -- it's just the most recent
one creating the problem.
