A: Error when running BibTex for beamer document

moeweYou should take the opportunity and switch from BibTeX to Biber. Since you are using TeX live 2017 this should work more or less out of the box. Simply change backend=bibtex to backend=biber and tell your editor to run Biber for you (Biblatex with Biber: Configuring my editor to avoid undefin...

I was confused, it returns some strange thinh now: ! Use of \sortlist doesn't match its definition. Any idea?
@HernanMiraola Delete the temporary files (.aux, .bbl, .bcf, ...) and recompile from scratch.
It got the same error.. :(
@HernanMiraola What does biber --version output in the command line? What version does biblatex report in the .log file if you add \listfiles to the start of your document?
This is the output when run bibtex: This is Biber 1.9 INFO - Logfile is 'poweP.blg' INFO - Reading 'poweP.bcf' WARN - Warning: Found biblatex control file version 3.3, expected version 2.6 INFO - Found 1 citekeys in bib section 0 INFO - but at the end it say: process exited normally. From command line it returns: version 2.7
Hmm not sure about how to look the version but in the log file I found: Package: biblatex 2016/12/05 v3.7 programmable bibliographies (PK/JW/AB)

@HernanMiraola That is confusing. Your BibTeX reports that you are running TeX live 2017 and your biblatex is really new as well. Your Biber, however, is really old. Did you have an older TeX live installed? Did you install Biber manually? What does where biber (Windows)/which biber (Unix) say?
You are correct. No, I have installed Biber from console, because I am not sure how install the current version manually. I have linux debian based, 64 bits.
@HernanMiraola You should not install Biber manually. It should already ship with TeX live. Remove all manually installed versions of Biber and try again. What does where biber/which biber say?
It says: /usr/local/texlive/2017/bin/x86_64-linux/biber. Do you mean remove simply with sudo apt-get remove biber?
@HernanMiraola Mhhh, and that Biber is version 1.9? What does which -a biber/type -a biber respond?
Whether or not sudo apt-get remove biber is good depends on how you installed TeX live and where that old Biber comes from.
No. Look, I didn't know that texlive carried biber, and so, I installed biber with sudo apt-get install biber
18:18
Aha. Then remove it.
How did you install TeX live?
following the post in this forum
"how to install vanilla...."
OK, very good. Then things should continue to work after you remove the Biber you installed via apt-get,
yes, I will remove those files you name today
and then I tell you, right?
thanks for the help..
OK.
when run bibtex, it returns "Error : could not start the command : biber ..."
but
whereis biber still returns:
biber: /usr/local/texlive/2017/bin/x86_64-linux/biber
on texmaker config I have what you told me: bib(la)tex: biber %
now it works
ohhh jesus..
go for a shout and come back
18:27
So everything works now?
yesssss
thanks to you
:)

Have a lovely day.
