Problems with nocite

Question

I am writing my thesis in LaTex and I have problems with the bibliography. I would like to write all the references I put, also the ones not cited into the text. I tried to use the command nocite{*} but when I use it it indeed shows all the references, but in the text the citations are like [?] without numbers. It does it correctly but without all the references when I do not use the command.
The code is the following:
documentclass[10pt,twoside,a4paper]{report}
usepackage[english,mt]{ethidsc} 
usepackage{pdfpages}
usepackage{fixltx2e} 
usepackage{emptypage}

begin{document}
maketitle  
%chapters....
backmatter

bibliographystyle{unsrt}
bibliography{bibliography}

end{document}

The references are in the bibliography.bib file written like
@article{C2014,
author={Author},
journal={Journal C},
title={First Paper},
year={2020}
}

Any idea how can I solve the problem?
Thanks!

Make sure to compile your document a couple of times:

pdflatex → bibtex/biber → pdflatex → pdflatex

There is no backmatter in report classes, so I commented that part out. I've also removed the now unnecessary fixltx2e-package.
The following example runs without problems:
documentclass[10pt,a4paper]{report}

usepackage{pdfpages}
% usepackage{fixltx2e} 
usepackage{emptypage}
usepackage{kantlipsum}

begin{filecontents}{bibliography.bib}
@article{C2014,
author={Firstname Lastname},
journal={Journal C},
title={First Paper},
year={2020}
}
end{filecontents}

title{Me, I, and all my other Personalities}
author{Me I. Myself}

begin{document}
maketitle

chapter{First Chapter}
kant[1]

section{Here be a Citation}
This is the best article ever written: cite{C2014}

% backmatter
nocite{*}
bibliographystyle{unsrt}
bibliography{bibliography}

end{document}
