I am trying to use biber/biblatex in Lyx 1.6.8 and encountering a
serious problem. Lyx does not seem to be able to scan the .bib file
with biber. Or it does not call biber at all.
In other words, I am getting the dreaded ´undefined references´.
The same file, exported to latex and compiled from the command line
works perfectly. Is anyone using biber? Would that person be willing
to share configuration details?

More details on my experience:

1. Lyx version 1.6.8 with TeXlive 2010 on Ubuntu Linux

2. biber -u is selected in Tools>>Preference>>Output>>Latex>>bibtex

3. biblatex is loaded with backend=biber in the preamble.

4. If I start lyx with -dbg latex from a command line I do not see any
mention of biber being called in the terminal. Instead, I see lines
like:
  LaTeX.cpp(335): Running BibTeX.
  LaTeX.cpp(396): Done.
This may or may not be relevant of course

5. My TeX engine is LuaTex

Any suggestion on how to track down the source of the problem is very welcome.


Cheers,

Stefano
