It too installed without problems. As for MiKTeX being a " big piece of $h!t", I haven't had problems with it (and it certainly doesn't give me the kind of conflict between package managers mentioned in a recent thread on this list that users of TeXLive on Ubuntu systems face).

Re: Odd bibliography/citation formatting, ERT formatting
As far as I can tell, the biblatex problems were caused by the conflicting TeXLive installations, as well as a conflict between biblatex and polyglossia. The ERT problems were due to font-internal deficiencies (lacking small caps) and a misreading of the package documentation. --Jason On Thu, Mar 6, 2014 at 1:43 PM, stefano franchi wrote: > On Thu, Mar 6, 2014 at 11:37 AM, Jason F.

Hi Jason, my suggestion to get out of the problem you find yourself is the same as Cskos's: try to reduce the number of variables as much as possible in order to isolate the root of the problem. The first thing you need to find out is whether you have a working biblatex+biber installation. 1. Make a new lyx file using one of the standard classes (book, article), add )only* your biblatex call to the preamble (the \usepackage and the \addbibresource commands), and put no more than one word of text in the file itself, plus a couple of references at most. See what happens. If biblatex/biber work in the simplest possible scenario, you can start to work on your (very complex) preamble.
