Re: classicthesis-Lyx-v4.2_biblatex_biber

[Michael Berger]

Hi Jürgen, hi Philip,

in openSUSE Leap 42.2 I've tried countless times to produce PDF outputs 
with both, classicthesis-Lyx-v4.2_biblatex-biber and 
classicthesis-Lyx-v4.2_biblatex-bibtex8  but always ended up in endless 
loops.


After two weeks I tried openSUSE Leap 42.2 once more last night (out of 
desperation and frustration) and to my surprise both, biblatex-biber and 
biblatex-bibtex8, generated perfect PDF outputs - and very quickly.


In Documents > Settings > Bibliography > Bibliography Generation > 
Processor it offers


 * Default
 * biber !
 * bibtex
 * bibtex8

while in Mageia6 'biber' is still missing.
So, looks like one must wait till "biber" is made available in Mageia6 
and working.


Thanks a lot for your continuous support, and cheers!

Michael

Jürgen,

I did as you told me

- I installed all the groups of texlive packages Mageia is offering 
but I don't know for certain whether or not "biber" is installed; I 
find no way to look for a single package called texlive-biber or 
texlive-biblatex


- I did reconfigure several times

- I cannot set the Bibliography Processor to "biber" in Documents 
Settings because it is not a choice - all I see is: Default, bibtex, 
bibtex8. And in Tools > Preferences > Output > LaTeX > Processor I see 
only Custom, bibtex, bibtex8.


I hope I am not too stupid and sorry for bothering you!

Obviously, you need to install biber, then reconfigure LyX and 
repeate the procedure I described.



I have Mageia6, KDE


Look for a package called texlive-biber or texlive-biblatex.

Document Settings Module: Linguistics

Funny enough, classicthesis-LyX-v4.2_biblatex_bibtex8 outputs a
perfect PDF, even if I completely remove/replace the LaTeX Preamble.


That's not funny, it is expected, if bibtex8 is installed.

Thanks and Best,

For ubuntu/debian the package-name is 'biber'.
You may find something appropriate on your system.

Philip,
Document > 'LaTex log' is greyed out, so I can't check.



Unless the first line you see there is something like
[0] Config.pm:354> INFO - This is Biber 2.6
you don't have biber installed, or the installation is corrupt.

What happens when you type
biber -v
in a linux terminal window?

This has already been set to the respective processor in the template. I 
think the user has biber missing from  his installation.

Philip,

I also checked Document > LaTeX log > Log Type in

classicthesis-LyX-v4.2_biblatex_bitex8

which compiles to PDF without any problem - but there too, 'LaTex log' 
is greyed out !!

It's likely that biber is not installed or not working.
