can't get cites work on lyx [Solved]

earosselot · Post by **earosselot** » Sat Jan 07, 2017 10:48 pm

Hi !

I'm new to lyx, starting to write my thesis, and i started to do some cites. Make the bibtex with Jabref, and inserted it on to lyx. After that i made the citations where i need them. But when i preview on pdf, all them looks like this: "(?)". And i have no idea why or how to solve it.

Thanks !

NEW: TikZ book now 40% off at Amazon.com for a short time.

And: Currently, Packt sells ebooks for $4.99 each if you buy 5 of their over 1000 ebooks. If you choose only a single one, $9.99. How about combining 3 LaTeX books with Python, gnuplot, mathplotlib, Matlab, ChatGPT or other AI books? Epub and PDF. Bundle (3 books, add more for higher discount): https://packt.link/MDH5p

I want to add some data to this:
I use Ubuntu 16.04 and LyX 2.2.2

I have made further research and found this in the code:

cites i have made:

Code: Select all

\cite{Reichert1929}
\cite{Reichert1929}

Bibliography index:

Code: Select all

\bibliographystyle{adrfax}
\bibliography{BibliografiaTFL}

Can you please post a minimal example? In your case, this would be a minimal .lyx file and a minimal .bib file that I could open and compile and see exactly what you seen. Then I would be able to look into a solution. For more information, please see https://wiki.lyx.org/FAQ/MinimalExample

hi, i was a couple of days out of the city on vacations.

i solve the problem looking on internet. i just have to press on the bibtex bibliography an click on releer (re-read in english i think), and that solve it.

Thanks for your answer ! next time i'll post the miniexample.

Thanks for posting back the solution that worked for you. And thanks also for your willingness to post a minimal example next time.

Welcome to the forum! I hope that you stick around.

By the way, since you mention "releer" that makes me think you speak Spanish. Note that we have a LyX mailing list for Spanish speakers. It is low volume so if you want to join you don't have to worry about many emails. The email list is lyx-es@lists.lyx.org
