no PDF when using classicthesis-LyX-v4.2_biblatex_biber / ..._biblatex_bibtex8

[Michael Berger]

Dear Lyxers,

my Linguistic Thesis at first written in classicthesis-LyX-v4.1 converts 
to PDF in both versions of classicthesis-LyX-v4.2 but only after having 
removed all letters used to typeset African Languages as shown in Table 
7 of the Comprehensive LaTeX Symbol List by Scott Pakin.


While my Thesis successfully handles the languages Turkish, Indonesian, 
Serbo-Croatian and Tamil it fails compilation to PDF as long as any of 
the two African languages Asante-Twi and/or Limbum remains present.


This was tried with classicthesis-LyX-v4.2 and using two different 
systems namely openSUSE Leap 14.2 and Mageia 6 - both do show the same 
behavior.


The package fc is in place with all its elements (fclfont.sty, 
fcuse.sty, t4cmr.fd, t4cmss.fd, fclfont.sty_old, t4cmtt.fd, t4enc.def, 
t4fcr.fd and t4phonet.sty).


\usepackage[T4]{fontenc} is present in the preamble.

Using other document classes e. g. Koma-Script do compile without 
problems as long as \usepackage[T4]{fontenc} is part of the preamble.


Am I doing something wrong or could it be that classicthesis-LyX-v4.2 is 
not yet fit?


Any help or comment is highly appreciated.

Thanks and cheers!

Michael

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.

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

Hi Philip, hi Jürgen,
thanks for your comments and suggestions. Whatever I tried the 
compilation to PDF fails.
I eventually tried Miede's original file once more - absolutely nothing 
added or removed, nothing changed.

When trying to compile to PDF I get:
BibTeX error: I found no \citation command-while reading file 
ClassicThesis.aux
BibTeX error: I found no \bibdata command-while reading file 
ClassicThesis.aux
BibTeX error: I found no \bibstyle command-while reading file

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.

[Michael Berger]

Hi experts, this is just an ordinary user asking for help,

I am coming from Mageia 5 and just just installed Mageia 6

When trying to compile to PDF I get

Bibtex error: I found no \citation commandwhile reading file 
ClassicThesis.aux Bibtex error: I found no \bibdata commandwhile 
reading file ClassicThesis.aux Bibtex error: I found no \bibstyle 
commandwhile reading file ClassicThesis.aux


I've studied and tried everything similar I could find in the internet 
but nothing worked.


Needs to be mentioned that classicthesis-Lyx-v4.2_biblatex_bibtex8 
produces the PDF file without any complaint.


Please, who can help with this?

Thanks,

Michael
