Looks like 'texlive full' is somewhat misleading. Don't worry, simply install 
texlive-bibtex-extra.

No doubt you should follow Kornel's suggestion. However whenever 
something like this happens to me, I get on synaptic and install every 
texlive thing except full texlive.

Thanks, Kornel and John for your help, which I appreciated. John, does 
it make sense to remove texlive full if I have it already installed or 
does it affect also things I need for texlive to function fully under lyx?

No doubt you should follow Kornel's suggestion.  However whenever something 
like 
this happens to me, I get on synaptic and install every texlive thing except 
full 
texlive.

Check first that biblatex.sty is not available.
$ kpsewhich biblatex.sty

If not, try to install apt-file
then:
$ apt-file update
$ apt-file find biblatex.sty
--> texlive-bibtex-extra
$ sudo apt-get install  texlive-bibtex-extra

In lyx you should now reconfigure.

In TeX (and the LyX-user-preamble), a % starts a comment that stretches till
the end of line. Therefore, all these lines produce unbalanced braces, for
TeX the code becomes:

 \urlstyle{

Re: Biblatex in LyX 2.3 and newer

Dear Daniel,

yes, I thought that the problems I have are a biblatex-problem, because it 
happened when I installed LyX 2.3. The other packages I now deactivated were 
working fine before, so I am still not sure, what exactly the problem might be 
– all of those error messages seemed to have startet at the same point. I will 
try some things and most probably make another minimal-example.

Thanks also for your minimal-example, this is obvious.

Best
Jess

Dear Jess,

Your question was about biblatex that is what I concentrated on. If 
there are other problems try to produce a minimal example that shows 
these other errors.

I might be wrong but pageref=true does not seem to be a valid biblatex 
option. Attached is a minimal example to show it. Remove pageref=true 
from the biblatex options in this example and it should work fine.

Daniel

Re: Biblatex in LyX 2.3 and newer

[jezZiFeR]

Dear Daniel,

thank you for trying my file out. Okay, the file is not minimal enough, so I 
removed the list of figures and also the footnote with the missing reference. 
There is no reason, why I once added the page numbers as part of the citation, 
once not. That might be the result of trying out how to get a decent distance 
between »S.« and the number.

I now also erased some of the lines in the preamble that do not correspond to 
biblatex. It was obvious, that most of the errors were caused by the line:
\DeclareFieldFormat{title}{\mkbibemph{#1}}
which I have added italic fonts in titles. Is there also another achieve that?

Also the lines:
\urlstyle{%}
\usepackage{%}
\begin{%}
caused some errors – do I really have to remove all of them? Is there is one 
obvious reason for this?

And also, why do I have to remove the
pageref=true
option from biblatex?

I add a minimal example this time which I think is really minimal, in a working 
form. I left the mentioned lines in the preamble, deactivated.

Thank you, best,
Jess

Hi

It is a bit hard to say what might cause your errors. There are three 
references and some text in your document. If you remove any of those 
your error disappears? If not, then the attached is not a minimal example.


After removing the a bit strange looking preamble (which seems to have 
nothing to do with biblatex if I saw it correctly) and the 
"pageref=true" option from biblatex, I could typeset the document 
without problems on Windows 10.


One of the references was not in the attached bib file though. Although, 
is there a reason some of the page numbers were part of the citation and 
some not?

Hi Frank,
How about \pagestyle{plain} (inside a TeX code inset, Ctrl+L), insert it 
just before your \printbibliography



And for the other issue, yes, style designers got something wrong and 
this "In:" is being inserted in many unnecessary places. Here's the 
solution:

In short, just add

Hello:

If Stephano's  example file is working it might be that your bib file causes 
the problem.

What I suggest is:

1. Copy your bib file to the same place where you have the working example file.
2. If it still doesn't work, try to remove parts from your bib file step by 
step (first make a backup of the original bib file), and check if it works. 
This may help find the lines of the bib file that causes the problem.

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

Hello:

If Stephano's  example file is working it might be that your bib file causes 
the problem.

What I suggest is:

1. Copy your bib file to the same place where you have the working example file.
2. If it still doesn't work, try to remove parts from your bib file step by 
step (first make a backup of the original bib file), and check if it works. 
This may help find the lines of the bib file that causes the problem.

That does not look like the output from biber. Are you sure you are looking
at the latex log in lyx, and selected the "bibtex" option from the drop
down menu?

xdg-open is just the program that will try to find a suitable program to
open the pdf file, in your case that will most likely be okular (or
acroread, depending on your setup).

Biblatex and LyX issue #was: Re: Author-year in Lyx

[Wolfgang Engelmann]

 Thanks, Stefano. 

Here again what I followed up or tried:

1) Put the file biblatex.module in the layouts folder
I guess the /.lyx/layouts/  is meant ?
 or is it documentsmoduleBiblatex-citation-styles  
 I have selected this and added to 'chosen' in right box
 or both, which I tried ??
 2) toolsreconfigure
  restart lyx
 3) documentsSettingsBibliography
  citation style: standard
  Processor: biber
 3) preamble
 \usepackage[style=authoryear,natbib=true]{biblatex}
 \addbibresource{name of bib-file with .bib-extension}
  in my case \addbibresource{PBRef.bib}
  tried also  
   \addbibresource{/home/we/Photobiology2013/PBRFigFinal/PBRef.bib}

 4) InsertList/TOCBibTeX Bibliography...
  in my case PBRef
  style: plain
  and put it in LyX note (turns yellow)
 5)  \printbibliography in ERT 
inserted after the yellow BibTeX Bibliography note
 6) ToolsSettingsOutputLaTeX
 processor: biber

 I did all this including reconfigure, the terminal says
Running: biber PB-Biber
INFO - This is Biber 1.6

(no admission)
I changed the permission to include group, but still no change in output

 
 Ok, this is confusing. Are you getting the references in your pdf files?
 If so, it means that biber has found your bib file and has processed it
 correctly. If you are not getting the References section at the end,
 however, you may have forgotten and/or mispelled the /printbibliography
 command. Or latex may have choked on it due to some error in the bbl
 file.
 
 Can you confirm that:
 
 1. You are getting the correct citations in the pdf file
yes, I do
 2. You have entered \printbibliography in ERT at the end of your
 document 
yes, I did
 3. You do not see a corresponding  References or Works
 cited section with your full references at the end of your pdf file
No, I don't

I should perhaps add, that I use Koma script (book)
I tried with the normal book style,
but get an error 
Der Absatzstil `Publishers' wurde nicht gefunden.
(paragraph style  `Publishers' was not found
The same with other book styles except Koma

I have taken out all entrances in the preamble except 

 \usepackage[style=authoryear,natbib=true,backend=biber]{biblatex}
%could also be
% \usepackage[style=authoryear,natbib=true]{biblatex}
\addbibresource{/home/WE/Photobiology2013/PBRFigFinal/PBRef.bib}

but still no Bibliography output in the pdf
although the references are cited in the pdf output

I tried furthermore ps output, same problem: citations alright, but no 
Bibliography output.

I tried also a (almost) minimal example with no success either. 
May I include this example and the bib file going with it? It is quite short 
and might help you in finding out what I do wrong.

Re: Biblatex and LyX issue #was: Re: Author-year in Lyx

[stefano franchi]

Wolfgang,

your file had an error in the preamble. You had

\addbibresource{/home/stefano/Desktop/PBRef.bib}


but the file you enclosed is called PBReffXX.bib


Once I fixed the filename to PBRefXX.bib the file compiled fine, and the
references and bibliography appeared in the pdf output (I also had to
change the directory, of course).

If you have multiple versions of biber, it may get complicated. It all
depends on your PATH variable, but there are additional complications if
you start lyx from  the GUI. If you start lyx from the command line
(recommended), then lyx will find the biber program whose version you saw
with biber --version and which is located in the output of which biber.
If you start it from the GUI (double-clicking on a lyx file, using the F2
shortcut in Kde, etcetera), it all depends on how you set up KDE. I never
got the hang of it, to be frank, so I always start it from the command line.

Cheers,

Stefano

You're all right then---biblatex 2.6 wants biber 1.6, so everything is fine
on that front.

I still think you may have path-related  issues in the preamble.

Do check the capitalization of your home directory (WE vs we) as per my
previous message.

\addbibresource{/home/stefano/Desktop/PBRef.bib}


but the file you enclosed is called PBReffXX.bib


Once I fixed the filename to PBRefXX.bib the file compiled fine, and the
references and bibliography appeared in the pdf output (I also had to
change the directory, of course).

   Thanks, Stefano.



 Here again what I followed up or tried:



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

 I guess the /.lyx/layouts/ is meant ?

 or is it documentsmoduleBiblatex-citation-styles

 I have selected this and added to 'chosen' in right box

 or both, which I tried ??

 2) toolsreconfigure

 restart lyx

 3) documentsSettingsBibliography

 citation style: standard

 Processor: biber

 3) preamble

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

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

 in my case \addbibresource{PBRef.bib}

 tried also

 \addbibresource{/home/we/Photobiology2013/PBRFigFinal/PBRef.bib}



 4) InsertList/TOCBibTeX Bibliography...

 in my case PBRef

 style: plain

 and put it in LyX note (turns yellow)

 5) \printbibliography in ERT

 inserted after the yellow BibTeX Bibliography note

 6) ToolsSettingsOutputLaTeX

 processor: biber



 I did all this including reconfigure, the terminal says

 Running: biber PB-Biber

 INFO - This is Biber 1.6

 INFO - Logfile is 'PB-Biber.blg'

 support/Systemcall.cpp (273): Systemcall: 'biber PB-Biber' finished with

 However, the PBRef.bib is there:

  so you can make up your own command by typing the following

  at a prompt, to get the complete path of file myfilename.bib

 

  $ls $PWD/myfilename.bib

 Dolphin tells me:

 /home/we/Photobiology2013/PBRFigFinal

 and your proposal:

 we@wolfgang:~/Photobiology2013/PBRFigFinal$ $ls $PWD/PBRef.bib

 bash: /home/we/Photobiology2013/PBRFigFinal/PBRef.bib: Keine Berechtigung

 (no admission)

 I changed the permission to include group, but still no change in output



 

  Ok, this is confusing. Are you getting the references in your pdf files?

  If so, it means that biber has found your bib file and has processed it

  correctly. If you are not getting the References section at the end,

  however, you may have forgotten and/or mispelled the /printbibliography

  command. Or latex may have choked on it due to some error in the bbl

  file.

 

  Can you confirm that:

 

  1. You are getting the correct citations in the pdf file

 yes, I do

  2. You have entered \printbibliography in ERT at the end of your

  document

 yes, I did

  3. You do not see a corresponding References or Works

  cited section with your full references at the end of your pdf file

 No, I don't



 I should perhaps add, that I use Koma script (book)

 I tried with the normal book style,

 but get an error

 Der Absatzstil `Publishers' wurde nicht gefunden.

 (paragraph style `Publishers' was not found

 The same with other book styles except Koma



 I have taken out all entrances in the preamble except



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

 %could also be

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

 \addbibresource{/home/WE/Photobiology2013/PBRFigFinal/PBRef.bib}



 but still no Bibliography output in the pdf

 although the references are cited in the pdf output



 I tried furthermore ps output, same problem: citations alright, but no
 Bibliography output.



 I tried also a (almost) minimal example with no success either.

 May I include this example and the bib file going with it? It is quite
 short and might help you in finding out what I do wrong.



 Thanks for all the help for and patience with me





 Wolfgang

If you have multiple versions of biber, it may get complicated. It all
depends on your PATH variable, but there are additional complications if
you start lyx from  the GUI. If you start lyx from the command line
(recommended), then lyx will find the biber program whose version you saw
with biber --version and which is located in the output of which biber.
If you start it from the GUI (double-clicking on a lyx file, using the F2
shortcut in Kde, etcetera), it all depends on how you set up KDE. I never
got the hang of it, to be frank, so I always start it from the command line.

Cheers,

Stefano

You're all right then---biblatex 2.6 wants biber 1.6, so everything is fine
on that front.

I still think you may have path-related  issues in the preamble.

Do check the capitalization of your home directory (WE vs we) as per my
previous message.

If you have multiple versions of biber, it may get complicated. It all
depends on your PATH variable, but there are additional complications if
you start lyx from  the GUI. If you start lyx from the command line
(recommended), then lyx will find the biber program whose version you saw
with "biber --version" and which is located in the output of "which biber".

You're all right then---biblatex 2.6 wants biber 1.6, so everything is fine
on that front.

I still think you may have path-related  issues in the preamble.

Do check the capitalization of your home directory (WE vs we) as per my
previous message.

Re: Biblatex with Lyx and eventually with APA6 style

[John Kane]

 
This thread and a couple of earlier ones (all with
apa6 as part of the subject line) are all I know about at the moment. I am not 
even sure if it has official LyX support at the moment
though it should have soon
(http://ca-mg6.mail.yahoo.com/neo/launch?.rand=al1818dfpq47u#mail).
The documentation at the moment seems to consist of the various posts
helping me get it to work as I bumbled  from one stupid mistake to
another.
You might want to start with
Jacob Bishops post 
http://ca-mg6.mail.yahoo.com/neo/launch?.rand=al1818dfpq47u#mail which supplies 
the apa6 and natbibapa files and then have a look at 
http://ca-mg6.mail.yahoo.com/neo/launch?.rand=al1818dfpq47u#mail for details on 
the biblatex setup and then have a look at Jacob's
working version of an apa6/biblatex file 
http://ca-mg6.mail.yahoo.com/neo/launch?.rand=al1818dfpq47u#mail 
I think if you are reasonably
competent in LaTeX/LyX if is fairly straight-forward. Obviously I am
not but I got it working.
Best of luck and I suspect Jacob
and the other people who came to my aid will be happy to help.

John,

It looks like Stefano might have beat me to the punch, but I will send this 
anyway. This is what I did to make it work. I am on a 64-bit Windows 7 machine 
(at the moment...I also use Ubuntu).

   1. I downloaded biber from 
 http://sourceforge.net/projects/biblatex-biber/files/latest/download then 
 extracted the biber.exe file and copied it to C:\Program Files\MiKTeX 
 2.9\miktex\bin. Then, I added C:\Program Files\MiKTeX 2.9\miktex\bin to the 
 system path by right-clicking computer-properties, then environment 
 variables. Find the variable PATH, put a semi-colon after everything already 
 there, and append C:\Program Files\MiKTeX 2.9\miktex\bin.
   2. I downloaded the biblatex.module file, from 
 http://wiki.lyx.org/uploads/BibTeX/biblatex.module and installed it by 
 copying it into my local lyx directory, 
 C:\Users\Jacob\AppData\Roaming\LyX2.0\layouts.
   3. I downloaded your files from the latest email (biblatex1.lyx and 
 biblatex_style_guide.bib). These were downloaded to the same directory, 
 C:\Users\Jacob\Downloads.
   4. I opened LyX, and under tools-preferences-output-LaTeX, in the 
 Bibliography generation selected Custom from the dropdown menu. The options 
 box changed to a command box, and I typed biber into the box. I clicked save 
 and closed LyX.

   5. I opened your LyX file, biblatex1.lyx. I expanded the note, and 
 clicked on BibTeX Generated Bibliography. When the dialogue came up, I 
 deleted the entry, lyx\biblatex_style_guide. I clicked add, then browse. I 
 found the downloaded file, biblatex_style_guide, and clicked on it, then on 
 add and then ok.
   6. I went to document-settings-LaTeX Preamble, and changed the second 
 line from \addbibresource{biblatex1.bib} to 
 \addbibresource{C:/Users/Jacob/Downloads/biblatex_style_guide.bib}. Then, I 
 clicked ok.
   7. Then, I clicked on the little googly eyes button, and voila! The pdf 
 came out properly.
Obviously, there will be differences if you're on Linux, but you ought to be 
able to figure out the differences. In particular, step 1 will not be nearly 
so painful.

system path by right-clicking computer-properties, then environment variables. 
Find the variable PATH, put a semi-colon after everything already there, and 
append C:\Program Files\MiKTeX 2.9\miktex\bin.
2. I downloaded the biblatex.module file, from

it into my local lyx directory, C:\Users\Jacob\AppData\Roaming\LyX2.0\layouts.
3. I downloaded your files from the latest email (biblatex1.lyx and 
biblatex_style_guide.bib). These were downloaded to the same directory, 
C:\Users\Jacob\Downloads.
4. I opened LyX, and under tools-preferences-output-LaTeX, in the 
Bibliography generation selected Custom from the dropdown menu. The options 
box changed to a command box, and I typed biber into the box. I clicked save 
and closed LyX.

5. I opened your LyX file, biblatex1.lyx. I expanded the note, and 
clicked on BibTeX Generated Bibliography. When the dialogue came up, I deleted 
the entry, lyx\biblatex_style_guide. I clicked add, then browse. I found the

Hi Jacob,
This looks great but so far I cannot even get my very simple example that ran 
for you and Stefano to work. and I'm left gazing woefully at your pdf file.  I 
do like the use of ! 

I probably have fooled around so much with various settings that I have set 
something by mistake that I don't realise.

I wonder if you or Stefano could have another look my files and see what stupid 
thing I' doing?

I have set the set Tools  Preferences  Output  Latex to biber with options 
blank'.

John,

I downloaded your file to see if I could get it to work. I have never used 
BibLaTeX or Biber before, so this was all new to me. After installing biber on 
my system, I got your example to work only after setting the output processor 
to biber under settings-preferences in LyX. This did not take effect until 
after restarting LyX. I also added a reference or two, which may or may not 
have made a difference (but it still worked after removing some of them).

Encouraged by this, I thought I would just check to see how it would work with 
the apa6 layout, and it seems to work fine. The only problem I see is that when 
changing the reference style to apa, I had to add a \DeclareLanguageMapping 
command to the preamble. I anticipate that future versions of LyX will better 
support BibLaTeX and Biber so that we do not need so many hacks/ERT.

* Delete backend = biber from Document  Settings  Bibliography

* Assure there is no blank in the backend=biber option when calling biblatex 
from the preamble (you currently have backend = biber)

* Your bibliography database is called biblatex_style_guide.bib, not 
biblatex1.bib. So your \addbibresource calls the wrong database.

* Use absolute paths within \addbibresource, e.g.
\addbibresource{/home/john/myfiles/biblatex_style_guide.bib}
or even better, place you bib file in your TEXMF tree, e.g. under 
.../texmf/bibtex/bib/mine. Then they will be found by biber without absolute

   1. I downloaded biber from
   http://sourceforge.net/projects/biblatex-biber/files/latest/downloadthen
extracted the biber.exe file and copied it to C:\Program Files\MiKTeX
   2.9\miktex\bin. Then, I added C:\Program Files\MiKTeX 2.9\miktex\bin to the
   system path by right-clicking computer-properties, then environment
   variables. Find the variable PATH, put a semi-colon after everything
   already there, and append C:\Program Files\MiKTeX 2.9\miktex\bin.
   2. I downloaded the biblatex.module file, from
   http://wiki.lyx.org/uploads/BibTeX/biblatex.module and installed it by
   copying it into my local lyx directory,
   C:\Users\Jacob\AppData\Roaming\LyX2.0\layouts.
   3. I downloaded your files from the latest email (biblatex1.lyx and
   biblatex_style_guide.bib). These were downloaded to the same directory,
   C:\Users\Jacob\Downloads.
   4. I opened LyX, and under tools-preferences-output-LaTeX, in the
   Bibliography generation selected Custom from the dropdown menu. The
   options box changed to a command box, and I typed biber into the box. I
   clicked save and closed LyX.
   5. I opened your LyX file, biblatex1.lyx. I expanded the note, and
   clicked on BibTeX Generated Bibliography. When the dialogue came up, I
   deleted the entry, lyx\biblatex_style_guide. I clicked add, then browse. I
   found the downloaded file, biblatex_style_guide, and clicked on it, then on
   add and then ok.
   6. I went to document-settings-LaTeX Preamble, and changed the second
   line from \addbibresource{biblatex1.bib} to
   \addbibresource{C:/Users/Jacob/Downloads/biblatex_style_guide.bib}. Then, I
   clicked ok.
   7. Then, I clicked on the little googly eyes button, and voila! The pdf
   came out properly.

Obviously, there will be differences if you're on Linux, but you ought to
be able to figure out the differences. In particular, step 1 will not be
nearly so painful.

Re: Biblatex with Lyx and eventually with APA6 style

[John Kane]

Thanks. It worked.  I think the main problem was the spaces in the 
backend=biber.

I had tried all the other changes at one point or the other but it never 
occurrd to me that a space would be illegal.

Now I just have to get busy translating refs to biblatex form and I may be off 
and running.

Re: Biblatex with Lyx and eventually with APA6 style

[John Kane]

Thanks very much.  I think that Jurgen noticed a major problem spaces in 
backend = biber which seem to be the cause of the problem (as far as I can 
tell). On any case the example ran.  

Other than that I did basically the same things in Ubuntu that you did in 
Windows.  I had not realised Windows wanted a path command -- I'll have to 
remember it when I try to get the Windows 7 version going on the the other 
machine.


I have not gotten the apa6 example to run yet but I'm working on it.

John,

I downloaded your file to see if I could get it to work. I have never used 
BibLaTeX or Biber before, so this was all new to me. After installing biber on 
my system, I got your example to work only after setting the output processor 
to biber under settings-preferences in LyX. This did not take effect until 
after restarting LyX. I also added a reference or two, which may or may not 
have made a difference (but it still worked after removing some of them).

Encouraged by this, I thought I would just check to see how it would work with 
the apa6 layout, and it seems to work fine. The only problem I see is that when 
changing the reference style to apa, I had to add a \DeclareLanguageMapping 
command to the preamble. I anticipate that future versions of LyX will better 
support BibLaTeX and Biber so that we do not need so many hacks/ERT.

   deleted the entry, lyx\biblatex_style_guide. I clicked add, then browse. I
   found the downloaded file, biblatex_style_guide, and clicked on it, then on

Re: Biblatex with Lyx and eventually with APA6 style

[John Kane]

Thanks. It worked.  I think the main problem was the spaces in the 
backend=biber.

I had tried all the other changes at one point or the other but it never 
occurrd to me that a space would be illegal.

Now I just have to get busy translating refs to biblatex form and I may be off 
and running.

* Your bibliography database is called "biblatex_style_guide.bib", not 
"biblatex1.bib". So your \addbibresource calls the wrong database.

* Use absolute paths within \addbibresource, e.g.
\addbibresource{/home/john/myfiles/biblatex_style_guide.bib}
or even better, place you bib file in your TEXMF tree, e.g. under 
.../texmf/bibtex/bib/mine. Then they will be found by biber without absolute

Re: Biblatex with Lyx and eventually with APA6 style

[John Kane]

Thanks very much.  I think that Jurgen noticed a major problem spaces in 
"backend = biber" which seem to be the cause of the problem (as far as I can 
tell). On any case the example ran.  

Other than that I did basically the same things in Ubuntu that you did in 
Windows.  I had not realised Windows wanted a path command -- I'll have to 
remember it when I try to get the Windows 7 version going on the the other 
machine.


I have not gotten the apa6 example to run yet but I'm working on it.

John,

It looks like Stefano might have beat me to the punch, but I will send this 
anyway. This is what I did to make it work. I am on a 64-bit Windows 7 machine 
(at the moment...I also use Ubuntu).

1. I downloaded biber from 
http://sourceforge.net/projects/biblatex-biber/files/latest/download then 
extracted the biber.exe file and copied it to C:\Program Files\MiKTeX 
2.9\miktex\bin. Then, I added C:\Program Files\MiKTeX 2.9\miktex\bin to the 
system path by right-clicking computer->properties, then environment variables. 
Find the variable PATH, put a semi-colon after everything already there, and 
append C:\Program Files\MiKTeX 2.9\miktex\bin.
2. I downloaded the biblatex.module file, from 
http://wiki.lyx.org/uploads/BibTeX/biblatex.module and installed it by copying 
it into my local lyx directory, C:\Users\Jacob\AppData\Roaming\LyX2.0\layouts.

and closed LyX.

5. I opened your LyX file, biblatex1.lyx. I expanded the note, and 
clicked on BibTeX Generated Bibliography. When the dialogue came up, I deleted 
the entry, lyx\biblatex_style_guide. I clicked add, then browse. I found the

Blast it , didn't work. 
I even noticed the stupid bib name  problem after sending the email and changed 
it to no avail. Also tried your abolute path idea with no effect.  LyX seems to 
be finding the bib file okay as it is inserting the citation but not processing 
it. See attached pdf.

stupid change,, replaced the entry in the preamble first with

\addbibresource{/biblatex_style_guide.bib} and then with 
\addbibresource{/home/john/Lyx/biblatex_style_guide.bib}

Both to no avail.

Good catch. You do have to set the bibtex processor to biber, since biber

 The problem you are seeing seem to indicate that biblatex (or its

Solution: Give the full path to your .bib file, even if its in the same

(I had the .bib file in the same directory as the .lyx file and assumed

which did not work because of syntax problems in the .bib file)

 1. [I don't know if this is possible in Windows.] Launching Lyx from a
 terminal and looking at the ouput that Lyx spits out in the terminal
 when you compile the file (i.e. when you hit ViewView Pdf)

In Windows there is a menu command View  View Messages, which then
displays the console output.

This helped me to diagnose the problem and find the solution above.

Solution: Give the full path to your .bib file, even if its in the same
directory as the .lyx file.

(I had the .bib file in the same directory as the .lyx file and assumed
that you do not have to give a full path, but actually you have to. I
also had tried with another another .bib file from the local tex tree,
which did not work because of syntax problems in the .bib file)

In Windows there is a menu command View > View Messages, which then
displays the console output.

This helped me to diagnose the problem and find the solution above.

Thanks!
