I'm having the following code and I'm trying to compile my pdf. But I'm getting an error that says: Package biblatex Error: incompatible package 'ucs' \begin{document} .. my pdf compiles for some reason but the bibliography never appears... why ? 

\documentclass[a4paper,12pt]{book}
\setcounter{tocdepth}{3}
\setcounter{secnumdepth}{3}
\usepackage[greek, english]{babel}
\usepackage[utf8x]{inputenc}
\usepackage{amsmath}
\usepackage{graphicx}
\usepackage{biblatex}
\usepackage{tabularx}
\usepackage[a4paper, inner=1.5cm, outer=3cm, top=2cm,
bottom=3cm, bindingoffset=1cm]{geometry}
\usepackage[onehalfspacing]{setspace}
\bibliography{ref} 

\begin{document}

\bibliographystyle{alpha}
\bibliography{ref}

\printbibliography

\end{document}

    an error about ucs package and biblatex are incompatible shows in the log file. According to BibLaTeX manual you must use \usepackage[utf8]{inputenc} instead. – doed Dec 09 '13 at 07:56

    if I use \usepackage[urf8]{inputenc} then I won't be able to write in greek right ? So it's not very convinient... – Stefanos Dec 10 '13 at 17:15
  • the error has nothing to do with inputenc, but with incompatibility of BibLaTeX with it. Also, if BibLaTeX is to be used, then specify the style of the bibliography in the preamble. And since your purpose is to write Greek, just \selectlanguage{greek} for it precedes the default English. – doed Dec 10 '13 at 18:28
  • how do I specify the bibliography in the preamble? My default language is going to be english and the secondary greek.. that's why I've specified it like this in the preamble – Stefanos Dec 14 '13 at 20:44
  • Stefanos this question had to do with BibLaTeX and utf8x. Since you want the former, the latter must be replaced by utf8. Then remove \bibliographystyle{alpha} and add \addbibresource{file.bib} to the preamble. Then use backend=biber for example, as an option for \usepackage[backend=biber,style=alphabetic]{biblatex}, then remember to run biber or else it won't compile. – doed Dec 14 '13 at 23:01
