I don't see anything obvious. The way to proceed is to export to LaTeX 
and run everything manually. Or, if you like, send me the LyX file and 
bib file, and I'll do it here. Certainly, from this log, it's clear that 
you have an empty bbl file, which means either bibtex didn't get run for 
some reason or else it aborted with an error.

If I create a .bib file with those two references and use it in LyX, I can see 
both references. Don't know where is the problem.
I use JabRef 2.3.1 to create my .bib file and have not experienced any problem 
so far.

Hi,

I have a similar problem.
Some of my References from Jabref 2.3.1 are shown in the list of references

 owner = {rwe},
 timestamp = {2008.06.26},
 url = {http://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc3986}
}

while this one is not:
@MISC{Thatte2001,
 author = {{Thatte}},
 title = {{XLANG – Web Services for Business Process Design}},

I did this, and the output in the terminal was as follows:

[EMAIL PROTECTED]:~$ bibtex CONS6017-Essay
This is BibTeX, Version 0.99c (Web2C 7.5.6)
The top-level auxiliary file: CONS6017-Essay.aux
I couldn't open style file authordate1.bst
---line 3 of file CONS6017-Essay.aux
 : \bibstyle{authordate1
 :  }
I'm skipping whatever remains of this command
I found no style file---while reading file CONS6017-Essay.aux
(There were 2 error messages)


I was using the .bst file authordate1, but I have tried using other .bst
files (naturemag, authordate2) with the same result.

Because the message said it was missing a style file, I tried using a
different style file, one that was not part of the default Lyx installation
(the same .bst files, authordate1, harvard, agsm). DOING THIS SOLVED THE
PROBLEM. 


I explored the /usr/share/texmf-texlive/bibtex/bst folder, which is where I
assume the .bst files are located upon installation. I noticed many were
missing (the ones I had a problem with initially). 


However, I'm perplexed as to why the .bst files included in the Lyx
installation have disappeared. How to I return it back to its "original"
state? Can I put the bst files I've downloaded from CTAN and elsewhere into
the usr/.../bst folder, and if so, under which subdirectory (ams, babelbib,
base, index, natbib)? Why have the Lyx bst files disappeared? 

  
LyX itself doesn't install any .bst files. Your distribution might, or 
maybe some Mac thing does, but LyX itself doesn't. Anyway, yes, you can 
put .bst files into the .../bst folder, and it doesn't really matter 
where they go. But a better solution is to create a "local TeX tree" and 
put them there. There are instructions for how to do this, relating to 
class files, in the Customization manual.


Basically, you want to find the file texmf.cnf and then, in that file, 
find the line that declares the variable TEXMFHOME. This will tell you 
where TeX expects to find your local tree. In my case, it's 
$HOME/texmf/. So you create that directory and then---this is very, very 
important---mirror the structure underneath your MAIN TeX directory, 
which in your case is /usr/share/texmf-texlive/. So you'd want to create 
$HOME/texmf/bibtex/bst/, and put your bst files there. You can create 
subdirectories within .../bst/ as you wish. Always make sure to run 
texhash after you put new stuff there, though. The advantage to doing it 
this way, of course, is that you don't have to mess with the system 
directories, which means the stuff you add from CTAN or stuff you write 
yourself won't get over-written on upgrades.


You can also run:
kpsepath bst
to see where TeX will look for bst files, etc.

LyX doesn't install .bst or .cls or anything TeX related. It is solely
a frontend for TeX. In your case it is texlive that is installing
these files.

When you upgraded Ubuntu it more than likely overwrote your /usr/share
folder deleting all the files and putting the more 'up-to-date' files,
back into:

/usr/share/texmf-texlive/bibtex/bst

I'm pretty sure this is a system folder, hence it will be "upgraded"
when the system packages are "upgraded". You should not be putting
your personal .bst files in a 'system' folder. They should be put in a
'local' folder such as /usr/local/ or wherever Ubuntu stores the local
texmf folder. There should also be a ~/.texmf-var folder, which is
where I put my custom  .bst and .cls files. I know my home folder will
not be touched during upgrades or reinstalls, etc. Especially since I
have /home on a separate partition :-}.

I've also checked the Lyx log in my tmp folder, and fould that it says
"LaTeX Warning: There were undefined references.".


This is not entirely surprising.  The LaTeX/BibTeX combination requires 
multiple passes.  On the first LaTeX pass, an auxiliary file is 
generated with information about required citations.  BibTeX uses that 
file and the .bib bibliography file to create a file of stuff to insert 
in the document (.bbl).  The initial LaTeX pass flags all references as 
undefined.  On the second LaTeX pass, it uses the .bbl file to fix 
things up.


I'm not sure if this will be helpful, but I've included both the exported
.tex file, the tmp .log file, and the PDF output as an attachment here.

Please note that I have changed nothing in my setup of Lyx since changing to
Ubuntu 8.04. I've had pretty much the same document settings (usually at
Natbib, but sometimes Jurabib), and usually the same bst files (usually the
ones included in Lyx, such as naturemag or author-date).


Between the last time you successfully used the JabRef file and now, did 
you edit anything in the JabRef (.bib) file?  Frequently something gets 
broken in a .bib file -- either a syntactically incorrect entry is 
produced, or a character from an encoding that does not match the 
document is inserted -- and the sequence above breaks down.

Export the document to LaTeX and try compiling it manually. Report the

This sounds like it's going to be hard to diagnose and a little more
information would be helpful. Have you tried multiple .bib files? Are
you using the default bibliography manager or natbib or jurabib or
something else? What .bst file are you trying to use? Maybe you could
send a minimal example to the list for verification or diagnoses?

Lyx 1.5.3 not showing references from Jabref 2.3.1

[vu]

Hi All,

I'm using Lyx 1.5.3 and Jabref 2.3.1 on Ubuntu 8.04. 

I have been using Lyx for about 2 years now (since Ubuntu 6.04) and have
very successfully written dozens of documents using Lyx, along with
Pybliogapher and Jabref.

However, since upgrading to Ubuntu 8.04 (fresh installation from CD), Lyx
has not functioned properly. I can insert a bibliography, and I can insert
references from that bib file. However, when I view PDF (or PS or DVI), the
references show up as "[?]", and there is no bibliography. 

All of my settings are "correct", and I've tried it with multiple
combinations of document settings and bibliography settings. 

As I mentioned earlier, I've written many documents with Lyx, so I'm
relatively familiar with the it. I love it, I can't live without it. 

Can anyone help? What's going on? I have a big essay due soon, so it's
really bad timing!

Thanks in advance.
