I am trying to create my citations and I am really frustrated. Whenever I try to compile my .bib
with BibTeX I get this error
Process started
I couldn't open file name `sample.aux'
Process exited normally
When I try to cite something in my text with \cite{}
I can see all my citations, but when I try to compile (pdflatex+bib(la)tex +pdflatex(x2)+ show pdf)
I get this message:

I am also using the following packages:
\usepackage[style=ieee,backend=bibtex,autolang=other]{biblatex}
\addbibresource{sample}
\usepackage{csquotes}
and \printbibliography
at the end of the doc.
I cant really understand what's going on so I could use some help!
Also here is the part that i want to cite, if that helps:
Οι θερμοτροπικοί με την σειρά τους διακρίνονται σε δύο κατηγορίες: Τους ραβδόμορφους υγρούς κρυστάλλους (ΡΥΚ) και τους δισκόμορφους υγρούς κρυστάλλους (ΔΥΚ) (Εικόνα 1). Στην παρόυσα εργασία θα ασχοληθούμε αποκλειστικά με τους θερμοτροπικούς ΔΥΚ.\cite{Grigoriadis diss}

\cite{Grigoriadis diss}
. Looks like bibTeX doesn't like whitespace in its keys.Grigoriadis:diss
or something similar instead ofGrigoriadis diss
. Same forElmahdy diss
. You forgot a=
inyear{1978},
ofC.N.R.RAO
biblatex
you should usebackend=biber
instead ofbackend=bibtex
. Simply change that option and tell your editor to run Biber for you: tex.stackexchange.com/q/154751/35864. Of course the errors in your.bib
file still need correcting.
