Re: [ANNOUNCE] LyX 2.0.7 Released

Have downloaded and run it.
One small thing - still can't get my Lyx run with Biblatex package properly
(path to bib file problem maybe) on my Windows 8.1

But again, Well done!

 Public release of LyX version 2.0.7
 ===

 We are pleased to announce the release of LyX 2.0.7. This is the seventh
 maintenance release in the 2.0.x series.

 LyX 2.0.7 is the result of on-going efforts to make our stable version
 even more reliable and stable. We have fixed a number of bugs and made
 a number of improvements. These are detailed below.

 The most important bug was #8854, which could lead to file corruption
 in certain cases and, more often, would lead to errors in generated
 files (e.g., PDFs). We encourage all LyX users to upgrade to this
 version.

 LyX is a document processor that encourages an approach to writing based
 on the structure of your documents and not simply their appearance. It is
 released under a Free and Open Source Software license.

 You can download LyX 2.0.7 from http://www.lyx.org/Download/.

 If you think you found a bug in LyX 2.0.7, either e-mail the LyX
 developers' mailing list (lyx-devel at lists.lyx.org), or open a bug
 report at http://www.lyx.org/trac/wiki/BugTrackerHome.

 If you have trouble using LyX or have a question, consult the
 documentation that comes with LyX and the LyX wiki, which lives at
 http://wiki.lyx.org/. If you can't find the answer there, e-mail the LyX
 users' list (lyx-users at lists.lyx.org).

 We hope you enjoy using LyX 2.0.7.

 xdg-open is just the program that will try to find a suitable program to

Package biblatex Info: ... file 'biblatex-dm.cfg' not found.


and also


Package biblatex Warning: Please (re)run Biber on the file:

(biblatex) testing-natbib

(biblatex) and rerun LaTeX afterwards.

[KIM Musak]

Dear Wolgang, Stefano

I have followed your suggestion. I copied and pasted the files into the tmp
folders in my windows. still got errors and these are the log files --- it
is long. But I could see some potential problems as shown by the log file -
BOLD by me. I know it will take time, but someone will able to find the
problems there.

Re: Author-year in Lyx

[KIM Musak]

Dear Stefano, unfortunately I still can't get lyx to
1) show Author-Year , instead the bibtexkey shown
2) no bibliography listed at the end of the text

I am pretty sure the problem happens during generation of the PDF file. The
reasons being, I could see all the reference in my Lyx document, I could
cite the selected reference. They are nicely shown in lyx file, and nicely
shown as Author-Year.  The only problem is when I click preview, the PDF
only shows the citation but only in bibtexkey and no bibliography printed.
Anything to do with the module? or Windows 8? or probably with Lyx 2.0.6?

--, what have I done wrong? still clueless ---

Regards,

Kamarul

 Dear Stefano and all,

 Coming back to setting Lyx to work with biblatex, I am not so sure how to
 make it works in my Lyx. I have tried the steps listed at

 1) Put the file biblatex.module in the layouts folder

 2) Reconfigure Lyx - then restart



 3) Setting the Preamble with
 a) \usepackage[style=authoryear,natbib=true,backend=bibtex]{biblatex}


 you should really use biber instead of bibtex with bibblatex. It is not
 mandatory but I strongly recommend it. Many biblatex features only wotk
 with biber. So replace your line with:

 \usepackage[style=authoryear,natbib=true,backend=biber]{biblatex}

 (actually biber is the default, so you clould eliminate the backend clause
 completely, but just for clarity)

 b) \usepackage[style=numeric,backend=bibtex]{biblatex}


 This is wrong. You should only load biblatex once, with the style you
 want. So either load it with style=authoryear, or with style=numeric, but
 do not load it twice

 Stefano, yes, I used only
 \usepackage[style=authoryear,natbib=true,backend=biber]{biblatex}

c) \addbibresource{name of bib-file with .bib-extension}


 You should have the complete path from root here, otherwise biblatex won't
 find you bib file. This is actually  lyx's problem, not biblatex's. The
 problem is that when you instruct lix to typeset your file into a a pdf,
 lyx first copies your lyx-converted tex  file to a temp directory, then it
 runs (pdf)latex and biber/bibtex on it. At that point, the relative path
 you had inserted in the preamble becomes meaningless since you are no
 longer in the original location.
 IN SHORT: always use absolute paths in your \addbibresource commands in
 the preamble.


Stefano, i did use the complete the path and also the file name only




 4) insert the BibTeX inset (Insert→List/TOC→BibTeX Bibliography... ) in a
 LyX note or comment

 good


I can confirmed that I did this



 5) enter \printbibliography in ERT

 good


I can confirm that i did this


 6) change from bibtex to biber, go to Tools→Settings→Output→LaTeX and
 change the bibtex

 good


I can confirm I did this


 7) pass the option backend=biber

 see comment to point 3a above


I did add this and without this



 When I inserted the citation, Lyx managed to find it.
 But when I previewed it, the citation is not in author-year and no
 bibliography printed

 Did I miss any steps? I am using Lyx 2.0.6




 Let me know if it works.

 Cheers,
 Stefano

Re: Author-year in Lyx

[KIM Musak]

Dear Stefano, unfortunately I still can't get lyx to
1) show Author-Year , instead the bibtexkey shown
2) no bibliography listed at the end of the text

I am pretty sure the problem happens during generation of the PDF file. The
reasons being, I could see all the reference in my Lyx document, I could
cite the selected reference. They are nicely shown in lyx file, and nicely
shown as Author-Year.  The only problem is when I click preview, the PDF
only shows the citation but only in bibtexkey and no bibliography printed.
Anything to do with the module? or Windows 8? or probably with Lyx 2.0.6?

--, what have I done wrong? still clueless ---

Kamarul

 Hi Kamarul,

 in order to use author-year you need to use natbib. If you use bibtex as
 your reference processor, all you need to do is to put
 \usepackage{natbib} in your preamble (DocumentSettingsPreamble) and
 choose Natbib in DocumentSettingsBibliography. When you insert your
 bibliography file (InsertList/TOCBibTeX Bibliography), you should
 choose plainnat as a style. This gives you the basic setting. Many more
 things are possible, including changing the style and so on. See the lyx
 wiki page on bibliography for a first description of the package  [1].
 There is also documentation for natbib in your latex installation (search
 for the file natbib.pdf on your computer or type texdoc natbib at a
 terminal). I enclosed a minimal  example as a working LyX file (with a
 minimal bib file).

 The above assumes you are using bibtex. If, instead, you are using
 biblatex (like me), you should proceed differently. Write again and I'll
 explain how (it is very easy).

 Also, please write to the whole lyx users list---your chances to get help
 will increase substantially

 Cheers,

 Stefano

 I guess the problems lie in the 'Document setting' and 'Tools' in Lyx. I
 am using Lyx 2.0.6 on Windows 8. My citation does not show properly and no

 Would you mind, list the correct (your working) setting in Lyx so that I

 Thanks very much.
