 Thanks, Jürgen. Could you or somebody else kindly try this one, to

 see
 whether the Umlaute are ok?

 @Article{Buenning1935,

author  = {Bünning, E.},
title   = {Zur {K}enntnis der erblichen {T}agesperiodizität bei
 den
 {P}rimärblättern von \emph{{P}haseolus multiflorus}},
journal = {Jb. wiss. Bot.},
year= {1935},
volume  = {81},
pages   = {411--418},
 }

We need a real minimal example file (lyx file and bib) in order to
help you.

Jürgen

In preparing a minimal example I created a new minimal lyx file and a
new bib file with just one entrance (the one above) and, voila, the
problem with the Umlaute was gone. If I use the old bib file (with many
literature references) this one item does not show the Umlaute, although
only this item is required.

Conclusion: The problem is with the (jabref) bib file and is not a lyx
question.

But I am not sure how to proceed. If I copy my references from the old
bib file in the new one, the umlaute problem comes back, even with the
one which were correct before (I had copy/pasted them separately in the
new bib file). Perhaps someone of the Jabref users might have an idea?

Thanks for all the help

Wolfgang

Are you sure about the correct formatting of your older entries containing
umlauts? Have you recoded the .bib file to UTF-8?

Axel

Yes, I did.

Just found out, that apparently the new Jabref 4.3.1 needs 
Java-8-openjdk, not Java-9-openjdk, or alternatively openjfx.

Will try, and thanks

Wolfgang

ps: I also did this before in the bib file

That's right. If your bib-File is rather old, check in Jabref 
(Preferences->General->Encoding) that you use UTF8 and convert the file 
via |iconv -f ISO-8859-1 -t UTF-8 jabref_old.bib > jabref_new.bib|. It 
seems (tex.stackexchange.com/questions/97252/… 
<http://tex.stackexchange.com/questions/97252/in-which-order-should-i-load-inputenc-and-fontenc>)

Re: cannot produce PDF from classicthesis-Lyx-v4.2_biblatex-biber in Mageia6


Günter,

thanks for your comment and tips, I'm not giving up yet.

I experienced exactly the same in openSUSE Leap, first neither the 
bibtex-version nor the biber-version worked until all in a sudden both 
did out of the blue.


Obviously there are few people using Miede's thesis. It produces 
beautiful documents - I use it for Linguistic papers.


If successful I will revert back to you.

Cheers and thanks again.

You may try in a terminal the commands `biber --help`

cannot produce PDF of classicthesis-Lyx-v4.2_biblatex-biber in Mageia6


Hello,

I found that classicthesis-Lyx-v4.2_biblatex-bibtex8 compiles to PDF in 
Mageia6  whereas classicthesis-Lyx-v4.2_biblatex-biber does not.


'Documents > Settings > Bibliography > Bibliography Generation > 
Processor' is expected to show


 * Default
 * biber
 * bibtex
 * bibtex8

This is what I see in openSUSE Leap 42.2 and accordingly 
classicthesis-Lyx-v4.2_biblatex-biber produces a perfect PDF.


Whereas in Mageia6 I can only see

 * Default
 * bibtex
 * bibtex8

so, 'biber' is (still) missing and therefor (in my opinion as an

You need to install biber 2.6 which is not yet packaged as far as I know for 
ubuntu.

1) uninstall biber 2.5
2) download 
https://sourceforge.net/projects/biblatex-biber/files/biblatex-biber/current/binaries/Linux/
3) extract it and install it as root in /usr/local/bin

Biber and biblatex issue on lyx

2016-10-17 Thread Riccardo

Hello,
I have the following configuration:


   - texlive-full (including texlive-bibtex-extra) from unofficial
   ppa:jonathonf/texlive-2016
   - biber 2.5
   - Lyx 2.2.1 from ppa:lyx-devel/release


After the last update, LyX show me a compatibility error message.

[761] Utils.pm:165> ERROR - Error: Found biblatex control file version 3.2,
expected version 3.1.

But:

   - biber version is 2.5 (system-wide, and no other versions present
   anywhere)
   - documentations suggest biblatex 3.4. The .bcf file in the folder has
   the following header:


https://sourceforge.net/projects/biblatex;>

Can you help me fix this? The bibliography of my document results now in an
empty page. I'm asking here since my system appears to have the correct
packages. For completeness, I "Reconfigured" lyx just after the package
update.
Riccardo

Of course you must also make biber executable.

Re: biblatex.module and biber not available

2015-07-02 Thread Steve Burnham

I'm running the same setup as you are. I used the MacTeX distribution to
get TeX installed and then I just installed LyX. That is the only software
I had to install. I have only used BibTeX and that has always worked just
fine for me. I don't have any experience with biblatex though. If you want
to send an example file over I'm happy to test it out just to confirm if
there are issues or not but I don't know if I will be much help in the

Re: biblatex.module and biber not available

Dear Steve, dear list,

I also used MacTeX. I use biblatex, because I use Dominik Wassenhovens Styles. 
On my last setup this went very well with fiber, which I could not find in the 
modules. Here are the minimal example of my LyX and BibDesk-files, and also the 
error message, which is in German. BTW: I reconfigured several times.

Start lyx.
Look into 'Help-About LyX-Version'.
For me it reads 'User directory: ~/.lyx2.1'

 I also checked my old system, there the biblatex.module ist not selected, but 
 biber. Here it does not even appear, so it is not only biblatex.module, but 
 also Biber I could not use. I would prefer Biber, because I have used it in

After installing you have to reconfigure.
Select 'Tools-Reconfigure'

 it is strange, that MacTeX says, that biblatex is installed, and biber also. 
 Both are not available. I reinstalled both now, via teX Live Utility but it 
 did not change anything. I do not really understand where to add the file you 
 mention, because in my usr no layouts-directory exists (OSX10.10.3).

Start lyx.
Look into 'Help-About LyX-Version'.
For me it reads 'User directory: ~/.lyx2.1'

 I also checked my old system, there the biblatex.module ist not selected, but 
 biber. Here it does not even appear, so it is not only biblatex.module, but 
 also Biber I could not use. I would prefer Biber, because I have used it in 
 the last year and it worked well. Why does the Biber-module not appear in my 
 document preferences?

After installing you have to reconfigure.
Select 'Tools-Reconfigure'

 So it appears that the reason is that biber does not escape the abstract
 of a reference, even if it doesn't at all display that abstract.
 Specifically this is occurring if a percentage sign is within the abstract.
 Apparently all percentage signs must be escaped? Is this a bug with lyx or
 with biber?



Actually, I wonder why bibtex8 does not choke on this. These kind of
characters need to be escaped in general.

Biber produces errors where bibtex8 does not

Hello,

I tried using biber and biblatex following the instructions here:

http://wiki.lyx.org/BibTeX/Biblatex

I received some very strange errors like Lonely \item - perhaps a missing
list environment when some of my references were included. It was actually
2/35 which were throwing the error except the error wasn't anywhere near
those references. Even so, there was nothing wrong with the references and
they worked perfectly well when generated using bibtex8. I examined the two
references which caused problems and they were exactly the same as any
other reference. Again, they work in bibtex8 but not biber.

Does anyone know what could cause this error? When these two references are
removed the document compiles but I need these references.

2/35 which were throwing the error except the error wasn't anywhere near
those references. Even so, there was nothing wrong with the references and
they worked perfectly well when generated using bibtex8. I examined the two
references which caused problems and they were exactly the same as any
other reference. Again, they work in bibtex8 but not biber.

Does anyone know what could cause this error? When these two references are
removed the document compiles but I need these references.

~Ben

Re: Biber produces errors where bibtex8 does not

So it appears that the reason is that biber does not escape the abstract of
a reference, even if it doesn't at all display that abstract. Specifically
this is occurring if a percentage sign is within the abstract. Apparently
all percentage signs must be escaped? Is this a bug with lyx or with biber?

biber {Biblatex-citation-styles}

2013-11-12 Thread Christian Engler

Hello,
how could I enable the field Text Before at 'Insert'-'Citation'.
I'm using

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

/
andinstalled the modul //Biblatex-citation-styles//as described here
http://wiki.lyx.org/BibTeX/Biblatex/

So my main question is:
Text after works, but how could I get the Text before working?

Even nicer would is be to get  more Citation Styles like see [#ID]
cf. [#ID] or siehe and vgl.

is there a way?
best greetings

 Lyx has trouble when relative paths are given here. Is this a bug?



This is a known issue with biblatex/lyx. Since you are giving the path to
the bib files in the preamble and lyx copies everything over to a temp dir
before compilation, there is no way it can unpack relative locations for
bib files.

Notice that the same problem would happen with regular bibtex if you were
to enter a relative path to the  bib file (i.e. in the LaTeX \bibliography
command) as ERT. If you rely on Lyx, instead (i.e. using the
InsertList/TOC/bibtex Bibliography lyx command),  Lyx always converts the
path to the bib file to an absolute one in the latex output (you can take a
look at ViewSource to verify this).

The solution will come with a fuller integration of biblatex into lyx,
which is hopefully not very far off.

Cheers,

Stefano

Lyx biblatex biber jabref Mac OSX lion trouble

Hello,

   I've been trying to use biblatex in LYX with the Jabref interface for
   citations on Mac OSX Lion. I have followed all of the instructions I've been
   able to find online, and have gotten it to the point where, if I export plain
   latex from LYX and compile that, run biber, then recompile, I have exactly
   what I want.

For whatever reason, I can't achieve this through the lyx interface. The lyx log
indicates that lyx IS running biber, and I looked inside of the temporary folder
lyx is using and found that a .bcf file is created.

In fact, copying my .bib file into the temporary directory and running biber
there enables lyx to produce the correct output, but this is tedious to do each
time.

Even better, all I need for a relatively permanent fix is to copy my .bib file
into the LYX temporary directory:

/private/var/folders/s3/477kfcjd2zq_0mxfxpcrbznrgn/T/lyx_tmpdir.L14372/
/lyx_tmpbuf2

Once that is done, lyx can produce the correct output with no further
intervention. Is there any way I can get lyx to do this for me, or tell it to
properly point biber towards the file?

I am running biber v0.9.9 and lyx 2.0.6

Here is a snippet from the lyx log file that deals with biber.

Re: How to use biblatex-dw with biber or biblatex or bilatex8 in LyX…

2013-03-10 Thread jezZiFeR

Dear Stefano,

thank you so much for your thorough answer, which really helped me. All of the 
procedures you described to test my TeX-installation worked fine, and for me it 
is LyX, which is not working correctly. As I also have had several other 
problems witch my computer and with its permissions I am now looking for that. 
It could be, that LyX does not have the permissions to change its settings.

I think this will take a little time now, I just wanted to let you know, that 
your instructions were very helpful, and that I could use LyX hopefully soon 
again.

Best
Jess

 I also do not know how to run biber. Do I not need to exchange my settings 
 then first? This is when LyX crashes all the times…
 
 Hope you could help, thank you so much!

 Hi Jess,
 
 what I am suggesting is that you try to issue the latex commands directly 
 (instead of lyx doing it for you in the background). That way you could see 
 if latex (and biber) are behaving properly, which would mean your problem is 
 with lyx. This is what you do.
 
 1. Open a terminal window. You will see a prompt, something ending with a $ 
 sign. From here on I will indicate the commands you need to enter by putting 
 them on a single line, preceded by the $ character. You need to type what 
 follows the $.
 
 2. change directory to the Desktop folder. You would type
 
$cd ~/Desktop 
 
 (or the German equivalent, I'm not sure if the Mac translates the directory 
 names. I doubt it, though)
 
 
 3. Check that both the .tex file and the .bib file are present in the 
 directory:
 
$ ls Minimal-Example-neu.tex
 
   $ ls Diss3.bib
 
 In both cases you shoudl get back the name of the file(s). If they are not 
 present, you'll get an error message. In that case, go back to the finder and 
 moves the files to the desktop. Repeat step 3 until you are sure the files 
 are there (no error messages)
 
 4. compile the tex file with lualatex (this is latex with the lua backend, 
 which is what you had selected in your lyx file):
 
$lualatex Minimal-Example-neu.tex
 
 If compilation works (as it should), you should see a lot of text being 
 spitted out on the terminal. At the end, on the last line, it should say:
 
 Output written on Minimal-Example-neu.pdf
 
 If not, then you have a problem with your tex installation. Stop here 
 
 5. Go to the Desktop in the Finder. Open Minimal-Example-neu.pdf in preview 
 or other pdf reader. You should see your example nicely typeset, but with no 
 references yet. It will show the ref keys in bold. This is as it should be, 
 you haven't run your bib processor yet (biber). You'll do that next
 
 6. Go back to the terminal. Check again that you are in the right directory:
 
 $pwd
 
 This means present working directory. It should reply that you are in 
 /Users/Your-user-name/Desktop. If not, repeated step 2 above
 
 7. Run biber. You do that with the command:
 
 biber Minimal-Example-neu
 
 (notice that you don't type the .tex suffix this time)
 
 Biber should run, read your bib file and analyze your references. It will 
 spit out a few lines to the terminal. Each line will begin with either INFO 
 or WARNING or ERROR You should only have INFO and WARNING lines. The 
 next to last line should tell you that Minimal-Example-neu.bbl has been 
 created. Here is the complete output when I run manually biber on your file:
 
 INFO - This is Biber 1.5
 INFO - Logfile is 'Minimal-Example-neu.blg'
 INFO - Reading 'Minimal-Example-neu.bcf'
 INFO - Found 4 citekeys in bib section 0
 INFO - Processing section 0
 INFO - Looking for bibtex format file '/home/stefano/Desktop/Diss3.bib' for 
 section 0
 INFO - Decoding LaTeX character macros into UTF-8
 INFO - Found BibTeX data source '/home/stefano/Desktop/Diss3.bib'
 WARN - I didn't find a database entry for 'LeWitt:1999uq' (section 0)
 INFO - Overriding locale 'en_US.UTF-8' default tailoring 'variable = shifted'

 INFO - Sorting 'entry' list 'nty' keys
 INFO - No sort tailoring available for locale 'en_US.UTF-8'
 INFO - Writing 'Minimal-Example-neu.bbl' with encoding 'UTF-8'
 INFO - Output to Minimal-Example-neu.bbl
 INFO - WARNINGS: 1
 
 You have a warning, because your bib file is missing a reference. But 
 everything else is fine. If this is not what you get---and especially if you 
 get ERROR lines---stop here and report back. Otherwise you're almost done.
 
 8. Run lualatex again as in step 4 above. Twice. That is, go back to step 4, 
 run lualatex, and then do it again.
 
 9. Check your pdf file as you did in step 5 above. You should now be able to 
 see your references.

Dear Stefano,

thank you so much for your thorough answer, which really helped me. All of the 
procedures you described to test my TeX-installation worked fine, and for me it 
is LyX, which is not working correctly. As I also have had several other 
problems witch my computer and with its permissions I am now looking for that. 
It could be, that LyX does not have the permissions to change its settings.

I think this will take a little time now, I just wanted to let you know, that 
your instructions were very helpful, and that I could use LyX hopefully soon 
again.

Best
Jess

Hi Jess,it is always better to reply to the whole list---more people will be able to help. Your file works here. Here is what I did:- I had to change the \addbibresource line to make it point to where I had downloaded your .bib file.
- I changed the bibliography to "default" instead of natbib because I do not have the biblatrex module here on my laptop.- Finally, I commented out the line \bibliography in your preamble---you don't need that with biblatex.
My guess is still that your problem is (or hopefully was) with the \addbibresource line. Let me know if it compiles with the correct refes on your machine. I enclose below both the pdf and the lyx file. Notice that that pdf has a missing reference for LeWitt199:uk But that's how it should be because there is no such key in your Diss3.bib file.

Hi Jess,


your new file works fine here as soon as I change the path in
\addbibresource to /home/stefano/Desktop/Diss3.bib


You could take a look at  the LaTeX and biber  logs and check  what they
are telling you. Somehow biber is not finding your bib file, it seems to
me. A capitalization error, perhaps? I think you are on a Mac. If you open
the terminal and type

ls  /Users/ZZZ/Schreibtisch/Diss3.bib

do you get the exact path back?

Dear list, dear Stefano,thanks again. Well, first I tried to check via the terminal wether I get the exact path back, which I did (even though I had to change from the german »Schreibtisch« to »Desktop« again – which was just one of the last tries I did before).After that I checked, wether biber is active in the preferences. In fact, biber was not, it was biblatex which was acive, so I tried to change that. Every time I did LyX crashed with an error – I add the screenshot. But even worse: for I wanted to have the screenshot in english language, I also tried to change the language of LyX, and again it crashed. I seems that I could not do any changes in the preferences without generating errors. I tried several things. Sometimes LyX did not crash, but it also did not save the changes.So it seems I have a problem with LyX – does anybody know what I could do in this case?ThanksJessAm 09.03.2013 um 15:52 schrieb stefano franchi:On Sat, Mar 9, 2013 at 4:22 AM, jezZiFeR jezzi...@gmail.com wrote:

Well, one thing I could think of is that you have spaces in your filename.
Lyx can deal with them, but latex definitely does not like them. in my
experience.  So first of all I would rename the file Minimal-Example-neu.lyx

Then, just to be sure your problem is with lyx and not
biblatex/latex/biber, I would try the following:

1. From lyx, export the file to latex format (FileExportlatex(luaTex)

2. Open a terminal, move to the Desktop folder

3. Compile the file manually with lualatex Minimal-Example-neu.tex

4. run biber with biber minimal-Example.neu

5. Run lualatex again twice  as in step 3


If you get a pdf file, then your problem is with lyx or with the lyx/latex
communication process. If you don't, lyx is innocent.

Cheers,


S.

Dear Stefano,

I am sorry, I do not exactly understand what to do. I changed the name of my 
file to avoid spaces in it, and I also exported to LaTeX-format, as you wrote.

I could also open terminal, but I do not understand what to do then. What 
exactly should I do on the desktop folder? There is the file, but I do not know 
what to do with it, and I do not know how to compile manually.

I also do not know how to run biber. Do I not need to exchange my settings then 
first? This is when LyX crashes all the times…

Hope you could help, thank you so much!

me. A capitalization error, perhaps? I think you are on a Mac. If you open
the terminal and type

ls  /Users/ZZZ/Schreibtisch/Diss3.bib

do you get the exact path back?

 Dear list, dear Stefano,

 thanks again. Well, first I tried to check via the terminal wether I get
 the exact path back, which I did (even though I had to change from the
 german »Schreibtisch« to »Desktop« again – which was just one of the last
 tries I did before).

 After that I checked, wether biber is active in the preferences. In fact,
 biber was not, it was biblatex which was acive, so I tried to change that.
 Every time I did LyX crashed with an error – I add the screenshot. But even
 worse: for I wanted to have the screenshot in english language, I also
 tried to change the language of LyX, and again it crashed. I seems that I
 could not do any changes in the preferences without generating errors. I
 tried several things. Sometimes LyX did not crash, but it also did not save
 the changes.



Well, one thing I could think of is that you have spaces in your filename.
Lyx can deal with them, but latex definitely does not like them. in my
experience.  So first of all I would rename the file Minimal-Example-neu.lyx

Then, just to be sure your problem is with lyx and not
biblatex/latex/biber, I would try the following:

1. From lyx, export the file to latex format (FileExportlatex(luaTex)

2. Open a terminal, move to the Desktop folder

3. Compile the file manually with lualatex Minimal-Example-neu.tex

4. run biber with biber minimal-Example.neu

5. Run lualatex again twice  as in step 3


If you get a pdf file, then your problem is with lyx or with the lyx/latex
communication process. If you don't, lyx is innocent.

Cheers,


S.

Re: How to use biblatex-dw with biber or biblatex or bilatex8 in LyX…

Dear Stefano,

I am sorry, I do not exactly understand what to do. I changed the name of my 
file to avoid spaces in it, and I also exported to LaTeX-format, as you wrote.

I could also open terminal, but I do not understand what to do then. What 
exactly should I do on the desktop folder? There is the file, but I do not know 
what to do with it, and I do not know how to compile manually.

I also do not know how to run biber. Do I not need to exchange my settings then 
first? This is when LyX crashes all the times…

Hope you could help, thank you so much!
Jess

Re: How to use biblatex-dw with biber or biblatex or bilatex8 in LyX…

Dear Stefano and list-members,I tried some things, but in my case your file does not work. I change the path to my .bib-file on the desktop again, and I also turned back to natbib for the bibliography. Could it be, that there is something wrong with my absolute path for the -bib-file?I have the bib-file on the desktop, and this is my path:/Users/ZZZ/Schreibtisch/Diss3.bibJess

Dear Stefano,As far as I can see it still does not work. So here I send a minimal example. I hope it is okay to send it privately, or should I send to the list?
Hi Jess,it is always better to reply to the whole list---more people will be able to help. Your file works here. Here is what I did:- I had to change the \addbibresource line to make it point to where I had downloaded your .bib file. 
-  I changed the bibliography to "default"  instead of natbib because I do not have the biblatrex module here on my laptop.- Finally, I commented out the line \bibliography in your preamble---you don't need that with biblatex.
My guess is still that your problem is (or hopefully was) with the \addbibresource line. Let me know if it compiles with the correct refes on your machine. I enclose below both the pdf and the lyx file. Notice that that pdf has a missing reference for LeWitt199:uk But that's how it should be because there is no such key in your Diss3.bib file.

Hi Jess,


your new file works fine here as soon as I change the path in
\addbibresource to /home/stefano/Desktop/Diss3.bib


You could take a look at  the LaTeX and biber  logs and check  what they
are telling you. Somehow biber is not finding your bib file, it seems to
me. A capitalization error, perhaps? I think you are on a Mac. If you open
the terminal and type

ls  /Users/ZZZ/Schreibtisch/Diss3.bib

do you get the exact path back?

Stefano
