When you compile the document in LyX, the .aux file will be written 
in the temporary directory. On a Linux system, this will typically be 
/tmp/lyx_tmpdir./lyx_tmpbuf0 (if this is the first open 
document in LyX; if not, change 0 to 1, 2 or whatever). While the 
document remains open in LyX, you can use your system's file browser 
to find and copy it.

Thanks, Paul, for your quick answer.
I am using Debian, but can't find /tmp in my home.

It is not in your home, it's directly under the system root (parallel to 
/usr, /opt etc.). I use Mint, which is a derivative of Ubuntu, but I'm 
pretty sure Ubuntu and Debian have the same basic directory structure. 
If for some reason that is not where the LyX temp directory lives, you 
can always check Tools > Preferences... > Paths > Temporary directory: 
to find out where the LyX temporary files are hiding.

Why do you want to get the .aux-file? It is only needed, if you
have an error which you cannot solve and where a look into the
aux file maybe helpful.


I do have apparently errors. If I compile the lyx file, the pdf output 
shows those references as bold.


This has nothing to do with the aux-file, it is a problem with your
citations and the style file or missing keywords in the database.
Look into the log file of the bibtex/biber run.





By the way: biblatex creates it's own auxiliary files which are
read by biber (beside the aux file).


and how is this auxiliary file named?



always the main  docname with another extension.

Thanks, Herbert. By the way, would be nice to have a template file for 
LyX under luatex. Or have I overlooked it? It is a bit complicated to 
remember all the settings needed for it (in tools and under Document

Thanks, Paul, for your quick answer.
I am using Debian, but can't find /tmp in my home.

Can I just create it and would LyX find this, or how do I tell LyX how 
to find it?

Or: How do I find out what LyX uses in my system?

I tried without success:

find -iname 'tmp'  >finds

./.config/libreoffice/4/user/extensions/tmp
./.config/GIMP/2.10/tmp
./.imagej/tmp
./.local/share/akonadi_maildir_resource_0/trash/tmp
...
./.local/share/akonadi_maildir_resource_0/drafts/tmp
./.local/share/akonadi_maildir_resource_0/sent-mail/tmp
./.local/share/local-mail/tmp
./.gimp-2.8/tmp

find -iname 'lyx_tmpbuf*' >finds nothing

I used to produce an aux file from my lyx document by exporting the

What should I do?

Assuming xetex produces aux files (I would guess it does, but I've never 
used it), you could just use View > Document in LyX to compile and view 
the document, then navigate to the temporary directory LyX is using and 
copy the aux file from there.

 Dear Gurus for lyx/latex,

 I am trying to trace a citation error in my document (koma, book, 2 column,
 debian). I divided the document in a master and several subdocuments.
 I am getting in /tmp/lyx_tmpdir.TJ4198/lyx_tmpbuf directories for the
 master and the subdocuments.
 Could somebody explain the task of these tmp files and its handling by lyx?

 The reason is, that I have difficulties to localize the citation error,
 because even after taking out the offending citation lyx is still
 complaining about it. I have to close lyx and reopen it until I get the
 response after removing. I guessed, that the aux file is reused after a new
 run of lyx (without closing it down), and wanted to remove it therefore
 from the tmp-directory(ies). I am however, uncertain about it, since the
 last file which contains the citation error produces no tmp-directory.

 Also, why has the master file directory no aux-file, although this is the
 file where the list of references is located at the end. The subdirectories
 have also a list of references at the end, but they are in a
 commentary-note (allowing to view all the references, that is master and
 subdirectories).

Hi Wolfgang,

I don't have an answer for you but I would like to respond and say that I have
the same difficulties with finding and solving errors in Lyx (see my other posts
today) - even worse is the situation with BibTex and Lyx - there is none
indication whatsoever where and how to fix it...

I chased a citation error for more than an hour - closing Lyx and reopenening it
did the trick; well that is not what I call a deterministic behaviour

Anyway, what I do in these situations is that I export to Latex and work with
TeXnicCenter where you have more options for error tracking.

Still, Lyx is cool.

Cheers
