Thanks for your comment Les. I solved this by using Document  Settings 
 Language  Encoding  Other: Unicode (utf8).


Turns out that I also did this in the article document class file I 
mentioned in my OP because of other Unicode symbols, but forgot about 
that setting.


I am curious: Could be my setup is borked up, but here I thought 
specifying German as the document language takes care of inputenc in 
respect to German diacritics and special characters such as the ß for 
the bibliography.

presentation (beamer) and bibtex inputenc

[Michael Bach]

Dear LyX Users and Developers,

I am using the presentation (beamer) document class with the german 
option. I have a BibTeX bibliography that I inserted via the Insert  
... mechanism.


Now when I try to compile the file, I get inputenc errors. It stems from 
the usage of the german ß character in the title of the reference. 
From the full log:


! Package inputenc Error: Keyboard character used is undefined
(inputenc)in inputencoding `latin9'.

Now I am wondering why this does not work in the presentation (beamer) 
document class when it does work in another file with the article 
document class.


Any ideas?

Michael

Michael,

I have had similar problems with beamer and BibTeX in English when a

Michael,

I have had similar problems with beamer and BibTeX in English when a
name in the bibliography had an accented character (é I think).

I did figure out a workaround, but I don't remember exactly how. I
think it involved putting the offending reference in a separate .bib
file, but I don't remember the details and no longer have the files.
