Well, one thing I could think of is that you have spaces in your filename. Lyx can deal with them, but latex definitely does not like them. in my experience. So first of all I would rename the file Minimal-Example-neu.lyx Then, just to be sure your problem is with lyx and not biblatex/latex/biber, I would try the following: 1. From lyx, export the file to latex format (File>>Export>>latex(luaTex) 2. Open a terminal, move to the Desktop folder 3. Compile the file manually with lualatex Minimal-Example-neu.tex 4. run biber with biber minimal-Example.neu 5. Run lualatex again twice as in step 3 If you get a pdf file, then your problem is with lyx or with the lyx/latex communication process. If you don't, lyx is innocent.
