General :: Why Upgrade / Install Of TeXLive On Fedora12 Does Not Create Directory
Mar 19, 2010
Does anybody know why the upgrade/install of TeXLive on Fedora12 does not create the directory /usr/local/ texlive/2009.I have seen this directory mentioned for other 2009s, but when I installed 2009 it did not create this. (Or, maybe there was some problem... ?) It is only slightly relevant because (sudo) texhash does not include any /usr/local directories in 2009, only /usr/share.
In my 2007 version I had the usual /usr/local/share/texmf/tex structure in which I place /latex and a /bibtex. I had read/write access and so I placed all my .sty and .bib files, as well as image files and other stuff I shared between projects. Now, I have a ~/texmf with /tex and /bibtex and have gotten rid of /latex subdirectory. Now I don't have to texhash when I add new stuff.Other than this, is there any reason why Fedora TeXLive-2009 would not create /usr/local/texlive ? (Unless this is because, as the wiki page notes , "it is in testing state so bugs could occur."
I am using fedora12 and i was wondering whether i could upgrade my fedora12 to fedora13!!i dont want to start installing fedora13 all over again(boot it again from a cd),i want to just upgrade it directly from my fedora12.when you install fedora13 will all the files of fedora12 get replaced with fedora13 or will it just add additional files onto your fedora12?
I'm trying to install dimdim on fedora12, but I'm not sure what to do after downloading the source code. Is there any other way to install other than using source code?
I've recently had to update my own package blah.cls in the texlive distro on Ubuntu. I duly put it in /usr/local/share/texmf and ran texhash and mktexlsr (the latter just in case). The database has updated: checked with kpsewhich.
Now the problem: I'm able to compile my Latex file using that package blah.cls only when I run latex (or Kile, or gedit) in sudo mode. When I run it with no sudo, the error is "can't find the package blah.cls" Obviously other files compile nicely, sudo or no sudo.
I am running texlive-20100722. To build it I have used a modified version ot Robby's SlackBuild. Now I need to update the pgf package. The package manager for texlive is tlmgr. However, when I issue:
Code:
tlmgr update pgf
I get:
[QUOTE]/usr/share/texmf/bin/tlmgr: open(/usr/share/tlpkg/texlive.tlpdb) failed: No such file or directory at /usr/lib/perl5/5.10.1/TeXLive/TLPDB.pm line 282.[QUOTE]
Some googling revealed that texlive.tlpdb is the installation�s TEX Live Package Database. However, in my installation is is not present.
Think the Feb 10th upgrade of Current messed up the shared libraries to TexLive Code: bash-4.1$ latex file.tex latex: error while loading shared libraries: libpoppler.so.7: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory bash-4.1$ ldd /usr/share/texmf/bin/pdflatex | grep libpoppler* libpoppler.so.7 => not found
When I upgraded from Karmic to Lucid, I guess one of those upgrades was the tex engine, it was upgraded to texlive 2009.Though It can render everything I could render beforehand, I am having trouble about one thing. I cannot use the additional preferences that can be used to edit an image when using includegraphics function.
Used to rotate my ps file, trim it, then scale it as specified. Now, I get an error:
./Rapor.tex:59:Illegal unit of measure (pt inserted) ...e=-90,trim = 5mm 8mm 10mm 0mm, clip]{example.ps}
If there is only [width=linewidth] tex doesn't recognize linewidth and prints:
./Rapor.tex:59:Missing number, treated as zero...includegraphics[width=linewidth]{example.ps}
and the output file has the text within the square brackets, rather than the image.
Somehow there is a problem or a change in how this usage is interpreted. I am using:
usepackage{float} usepackage{graphicx}
packages that are related to graphics. I'm using Kile 2.0.85, but the problem is editor independent, I get the same results with Texmaker. I am using the exact same .tex sources that I used with Karmic.
What I've tried:
I installed texlive packages from scratch, with Kile.I changed the graphicx.sty file with a version that I found on the net.
Well, I am facing problem when doing lab questions.
I must use DLXLinux bundled in Bochs (bochs.sourceforge.net).
I am required to use the /usr/local directory.
In /usr directory, there is no directory named 'local' but there is one thing called 'local@'. So, when I try to use mkdir command to create 'local' directory in /usr , there are error "cannot make directory.....".
I just recently upgraded Karmic 32 bit to 64 bit (as I wish to have the full functionality of my 64 bit system). Unfortunately, I now cannot seem to install Thunderbird or TeXlive.When I go to the terminal and try to install this is what I get:
I ran the install from the Fedora12 DVD, downloaded via Bit Torrent, so integrity should be OK. The install shell does not see my 3rd harddrive, which is where I want to install. I burned the KDE live version of Fedora12 to run the checks suggested by marcrblevins. The results are below. Fdisk clearly sees sdc, where I want to put Fedora.I tried installing from the live CD, but the install shell was identical to the one from the DVD, so I'm pretty sure they are both good copies. The CD install could not read the 3rd harddisk, either. Ubuntu versions 9.04 and 9.10 installed to this partition without problem.
I have installed fedora 12 Omega remix. But I can not compile any C program or anything as for giving "cc" in terminal it shows "command not found". I think GCC is not installed in the system. If so the how can I install it? What are the rpm packages I need to install in order to compile C,C++ programs. If any pre-compiled version of gcc is availabe , then from where I can get it?
Installing a F12 on a new 500gb SCSI disk.I had a previous SEPARATE disk with a stable F9 on it including its OWN SWAP space.After installing F12 to boot from the new disk it installed. When rebooted crashed with an Fdisk type problem ... Even though the entire O.S. was supposed to be separately installed on SCSI 500.. After many frustrating hours of why oh why? it appears as though the F12 installation by default grabs any allocated "SWAP" space on any allocated DISK.As an other O.S. had used that SWAP for itself (Which it has every right to do) Why then did F12 pick it up?? and Use it in /etc/fstab...Then crash as a result??
Removing the offending "SWAP" entry from /etc/fstab install solved the problem.But my question remains ?? Why Does F12 install pick up "foreign SWAP space"?
Last night I have installed updates of plymouth themes and pidgin but some how what happens is that the updates have changed my system setting and deleted xorg.conf file and some other settings and i couldn't able to get login screen either.I have recreated it using #Xorg -configure but still I cant get Login screen and in the gui I only get a blank screen where cursor is blinking.
I have tried installing system-config-display and reboot the system after doing #system-config-display --reconfig --noui but it is still same still not getting login screen.
I have ati radeon xpress200 on board graphics card. I searched on google to how to install the ati graphics card on fedora12 and found that mesa-driver-experimental could be used for fedora12 but still after installing it I found no effect in fedora12 right now it is running on a basic vesa drivers that I have set in xorg.conf. With vesa driver I can able to login but when I have installed xorg-x11-ati drivers and then do system-config-display. I can see the login screen but after giving password. It just giving blank screen and return back to login screen and again asks for login. I can login through terminal with the same account but cant with the GUI. Now what to do to for that?

[Code]...
It appears that AMPADMINLOGO=logo.png is calling out to something that is not there. I can't even find AMP directory. See below. Do I need to create a directory? This is the result of an ls -F at my /etc/ dir:

I build simple spec file and build rpmI transfer the new rpm to other Linux machine in order to install the new rpmaccording to the spec file the new rpm -> test.sh-6.2-2.i386.rpm should create the /tmp/MY_RPM_TESTS directory , but this rpm not create the MY_RPM_TESTS and sub directoriesplease advice why , what I need to fix in the spec file? RPM installation:
[root@linux1 rpm -Uvh /root/rpmbuild/RPMS/i386/test.sh-6.2-2.i386.rpm Preparing... ########################################### [100%] This is preinstall script
I have a Virtual Private Server which I can connect to using SSH with my root account, being able to execute any linux command and access all the disk area, obviously.
I would like to create another user account, which would be able to access this server using SSH too, but only to a certain directory, for example /var/www/example.com/
For example, imagine this user has a HUGE error.log file (500 MB) located in /var/www/example.com/logs/error.log
When accessing this file using FTP, this user needs to download 500 MB to view the last lines of the log, but I'd like him to be able to execute something like this:
Therefore I need him to be able to access the server using SSH, but I don't want to grant him access to all server areas.
There are two directories A and B and a file F which is located in B. The working directory is B.How can you create a symbolic link in A pointing to F in B without changing the directory?
I am trying to clean my computer. Basically I try to order some movies to put all of them in directories. I started by hand but I am loosing time I guess. I want to do something like:
mv *.avi /nonexisting_directory/
nonexisting_directory being the name of the file without .avi, changing for each file. How can I write in command lineor in script?
