Hello,
I am running Ubuntu 12.04 and lyx 2.0.7. I'm trying to add a BibxText
database; but lyx is giving the following error upon starting up with
a document that already has a database or trying to add the database:
BibTeX Parser: Unable to read key for entry type:book.
I was using the earlier version of lyx that Ubuntu supplies in its
repos; but it also had the same error.
It sounds as if there is an error in your database. For some reason, LyX
is choking on the key. It's possible that the key contains "illegal"
characters.
