I think this has to do with a recent LaTeX update that changes the
handling of path names with non-ASCII characters and spaces. See
https://www.lyx.org/trac/ticket/11146
https://www.lyx.org/trac/ticket/11699

I suppose the documents are in a path that consists of such characters
(maybe your surname?). Does the error go away if you move the document
to a patch with ASCII characters only?

Jürgen

PS. We have a fix for this in the development version, but it is not
tested thoroughly yet.

The master UI widgets are reversed in logic. Deactivation is correct (this

It does not strike useful at all with polyglossia.

With babel, it is probably useful for some edge cases, when
packages/classes explicitly set a language and a user wants to override
this.

At least I have tried to give the UI a more sensible name than "Auto
Begin") in master.

I have diagnosed and fixed a crash that happens with you document if
the above settings are used.

For the time being, please activate "Auto Begin" and "Auto End" (you
shouldn't normally have deactivated anyway).

Maybe you also need the qt5 debugsource packages. Or build LyX
yourselves.

In any case, I have just rebuild LyX 2.3.3 and even installed the Lato
fonts. No crash here.

I can't (LyX 2.3.4dev, openSuse Tumbleweed). However, I needed to
switch the font, because I do not have Lato.

Does it also crash for you with a different font?

I do not understand. In the minimal example file you sent, indent
paragraph was *not* checked, and checking it solved the problem. So
there must be an additional problem in your thesis.

I can only answer this if I see the original file (not converted to the
recent LyX version). It might by a problem in lyx2lyx conversion.

I don't know how it cae there, but the solution is: go to the two

Issue the following command to find out where your TEXMFHOME directory

kpsewhich -var-value TEXMFHOME

and then put the file into the subdirectory tex/latex/aa/

reconfigure LyX, and then you should be ready to go.

Your bib file is encoded in utf8, the LyX file in latin9. Either recode
the bib file to latin9 or set the encoding of the LyX document to utf8.
Note, though, that the example files of biblatex-publist are latin9, so
you need to remove them in the latter case.

No, the module is not needed for LyX 2.3. It was only needed for older

The way to do this is to use a style that supports this, e.g. biblatex-
chicago, biblatex-dw or biblatex-historian. These styles automatically
give the full reference at first mention, and they automatically use
footnotes.

The above is only a warning*, so there must be another reason why the
output fails.

* Biblatex works well without csquotes (it provides some fallback
methods), but only csquotes provides quotation marks that adapt to the
document language, while the biblatex fallbacks assume English.

You need to adapt your PATH:

to have this permanent, create a file named .profile (with the leading dot)

Which bst style is this? Normally, the numbering follows the alphabetic
order of the entries in the bibliography, so it is normal that they
appear "unordered" in the text. If you want to number them as they are
cited, use an "unsrt" style.

I think this is a misunderstanding. IMHO the output is correct. The
package does not rotate the table, but puts it on a landscape page (at
least here, see attached PDF). The table is cut, right, but the page is
definitely landscape.

What I mean is: Is the output with dvipdfmx correct if you use

rather than

With "driver", I do not mean the latex processor, but the driver file.

You need to pass the driver as a package option, e.g.

\usepackage[pdftex]{pdflscape}

No, it's the other way round. With pdflatex, the page is rotated (as it
should be), not with the other drivers, as long as you do not pass the
correct driver (dvipdfm or dvips) as a package option to pdflscape.

You are on a Mac, right? This is a bug that has already been fixed for

The "Hfl" in the seconf nomencl entry has a ligature "fl", and you have
checked "Literal", so the ligature is passed verbatim to LaTeX, which
fails to deal with it.

Either uncheck "literal" or replace the fl ligature with f and l

\AtBeginDocument is a somewhat liminal beast. Technically, it is part of
the preamble, but it is also issued at a stage where some things have
already been processed.

A good explanation is given by Philipp Lehman in the etoolbox manual:

"Any \AtBeginDocument code is executed towards the beginning of the
document body, after the main aux file has been read
for the first time. [...] In a way, \AtBeginDocument code is part neither
of the preamble nor the document body but located in-between them since it
gets executed in the middle of the
initialization sequence performed prior to typesetting. It is sometimes
desirable to move code to the end of the preamble because all requested
packages have been
loaded at this point. \AtBeginDocument code, however, is executed too late
if it is required in the aux file. In contrast to that, \AtEndPreamble code
is part of the
preamble."

This might be just the issue here.

The loading order of packages is tricky. Some packages need to be loaded
after the user preamble, and babel needs to be loaded after that, and
biblatex after babel. Just because this works in your case in the different
order does not mean it works generally.

The only way around that would be a second user preamble:

I don't think so. The reason might be that it comes too late for biblatex,
which hooks itself into the document.

Try instead:

\usepackage{etoolbox}
\AtEndPreamble{%

Yes, because biblatex must be loaded after babel (or polyglossia), and

Good luck with that. I contributed some (biblatex-related) patches to
this project, but it ended in frustration (the project manager
eventually removed all of it again without even discussing with
anybody). Now I have to maintain a fork in order to keep those
features.

The most easiest solution is to set an appropriate database encoding in
JabRef's database properties dialog:
http://help.jabref.org/en/DatabaseProperties

The encoding should match the encoding of the LyY document (which is
ISO-8859-15 by default for English and German documents and utf8 if you
use "non-TeX fonts", i.e. XeTeX or LuaTeX).

Prettyref (which is the alternative) uses capitalized string by
default, as opposed to refstyle.

Refstyle has some more nifty features which prettyref doesn't. And vice
versa. So it always depends on what you need.

The good news is that we identified the problem, and the fix is rather
straightforward. So yes, I suppose it will not take too long (but then,
it certainly depends on the availability of the fellow who builds the
windows installer, Riki).

Further investigation reveals that this bug only concerns the latest
Windows binary (built from lyx-2.3.2-1). It was introduced precisely by
the fix that this build was supposed to provide (slow cut operations
with bibtex).

If you have access to the first windows binary of LyX 2.3.2 (which
seems to have been removed from the download server), you can also
downgrade to that one.

I suppose we will release a new windows binary of 2.3.2 as soon as we
have tackled this issue.

I am afraid this is a bug. Citing from the bibliography environment
seems to be broken in 2.3.2 (I am currently investigating). I am
surprised nobody noticed this before.

The only advice I gan give you now is to downgrade to LyX 2.3.1.

Assure the graphic is in a title layout (try in a second line of the

It's not superfluous if you set it before inserting the BibTeX inset,
since then, the BibTeX inset will inherit it.

I think, though, that this entry should be rather in preferences than
in Document Settings.

It must be set in the BibTeX dialog since multiple BibTeX insets can
have divergent styles (useful with "subdivided bibliography" or
"multiple bibliographies").

The setting in Document ... is just for convenience (if you always need
the same style and want to have it preset).

You have the bibliography style "plain" in the BibTeX inset settings
dialog (rather than "authordate3", which seems to be the one you want).

Note that the "Default BibTeX Style" in Doccument > Settings >
Bibliography is overwritten by any specific setting in the BibTeX

FWIW if you put the attached file into ~/.lyx/commands/ (or add the
'\define "desep"' line if you already have a default.def file), you can
easily get rid of all these inserted parbreaks by issuing "call desep"
in the minibuffer.

The command does not only remove paragraph breaks, but also changes the
separators to normal separators.

Biblatex does not allow to mix different styles in a document.

I would suggest that you compile the publication list on your own and
adapt the pagination via \setcounter{page}{}
