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!
