Ubuntu :: Adding Repositories, CTAN, Latex?
Jan 4, 2011
I got Kile installed and when I tired to run a template, it wouldn't compile. I ran it thru the cmd line and i see that I'm missing the required packages. I want to install the tucv package [1] and was getting started to do it manually but then I realize I needed to install a handful of other packages. I heard it was easier to install with the Package Manager. I looked at the tut and I'm stuck on finding the apt-line for CTAN.[URL]..

I have noticed that some repos in /etc/yum.repos.d/*.repo files have the definition "enable=0", I am not talking specifically about the "testing" repos... of course these have some packages tha may disrupt the normal working of CentOS... but about all the remaining repos ( non "testing" ) that are disabled by default...Is it dangerous to enable them...? even respecting priorities and having yum priorities activated...?

I have a problem with my wireless internet, my chipset went into the kernel in 2.6.38 and my kernel is version 2.6.37. I know what I have to do, which is add the repository from Index of /repositories/driver:/wireless/openSUSE_11.4 there. Then I have to go into Yast and get the compat-wireless-kmp-desktop-2.6.38.2_k2.6.37.1_1.2-2.1.i586.rpm I do believe. From then, I can do the 'sudo/sbin/modprobe -v rtl8192ce' command my wireless should be availabe.
However, with no internet connection, I'm not sure how to add a repository. I'm a bit of a noob to Linux but I'm just unsure of a way. I tried just going in and downloading the compat-wireless-kmp-desktop-2.6.38.2_k2.6.37.1_1.2-2.1.i586.rpm file and putting it on my external harddrive and trying to install it that way. But it said something about there was no dependency so it couldn't install the file.
Am I missing something here or is there another way I can do this without the use of internet in OpenSuse?
Btw, before anyone says use wireless, it's not possible at the moment, but I'll make it happen if it's a last resort.

Inspired by Knoppix Adriene, I am trying to install it on my netbook. However, I don't want the knoppix repositories since most of them are outdated.
How do I add ubuntu or linux mint's repositories to Knoppix? I guess I need to install the gpg-key also for each repository, correct?

I'm giving CentOS a new look as a desktop. Been a few years since I last installed it on anything but a server. While the default repositories have improved greatly I am still bereft of so much of my cherished and necessary software. No Gambas, Wesnoth (shows up but version is 2 years out of date), Chrome, Audacious ugly plugins, XMMS support for FLAC (shows up but errors out if I try to install), Cinalarra, Audacity, JACK audio, Ardour, Xine, Amarok, Blender, Gthumb, Abiword, gramps, disk utility, many KDE apps, it's almost like KDE is a forgotten desktop manager for CentOS repsositories and pages more of software I'm too lazy too list. All of this is software which shows up in Debian based distros and most of which in Fedora/SUSE repositories.
What are some good repositories for CentOS. I clearly have the wrong ones enabled or CentOS is a very crippled desktop. Here are the repositories I've added/have.
Updates
extras
addons
adobe
base
c5-media errors out so I have it disabled.
centosplus
contrib
kbs-CentOS-extras & misc
Rpmforge
RPMforge extras errors out so I have it disabled.
CentOS users what repositories do you use?

I am a semi-noob on this and I have problems getting my emacs recognizing .tex as latex and even running latex-mode. Usually when you run latex-mode (M-x : latex-mode) emacs should switch to latex-mode, but nothing happens in my case. The menu bar still show the TeX options, highlighting remains the same etc.
I am running emacs 23.1.1 (x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu, GTK+ Version 2.10.4), this is on a university system so I don't know much about it.
> uname -a
Linux karakum 2.6.18-164.11.1.el5 #1 SMP Wed Jan 20 00:57:09 EST 2010 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux.

I am running Suse 11.1 64bit, with KDE, recently I received a pop up on my screen, "something about update problems", I used Yast 2 and selected online Update and it couldn't find updates for Nvidia and froze at that point. I dis-enabled that repository and refreshed all of the remaining Repositories individually and it seemed to work. I then went to the repositories listing and selected "Add" and selected "community" repositories and received the following: WARNING Unable to download list of repositories or no repositories defined. What is my problem? How do I acquire the list of community repositories? I can live with out the Nvidia repository for now but would eventually like to get it back.

I recently installed 11.4 32bit on my computer at my summer home. I carry a DVD with all my /home data. Then today I noticed that all my repositories are labeled "11.3" repositories. Everything works. Here is the output from "zypper lr -d"...
# | Alias | Name | Enabled | Refresh | Priority | Type | URI | Service

What is the correct method of moving to the 11.4 repositories?

I'm trying to install a .sty, .cls, and a .bst (bibtex) file for latex. I'm currently using texlive in Ubuntu 10.10. I have the general idea of where to install these but whenever I try to compile the .tex I get an error that says permission is denied to the .cls file, so I'm not sure what's going on.
I've ran the mktexlsr and everything else, but I still get this problem. If I run sudo pdflatex <filename> I wind up compiling a pdf document that I can't access. Not sure if I have to add permissions to the .sty and .cls files after they've been copied.
Additionally, the .sty and .cls files I'm using aren't in the official texlive distribution so I would definitely need to install them myself.

I was trying to do a school assignment in LaTeX. The assignment involves having the page split into three columns: the first column is for the quote, the second is for a reaction, and the third is for questions. These columns must be able to break in the middle of a row. I was trying to accomplish this using LaTeX.
First, I tried the longtable environment, but that would not allow me to pagebreak in the middle of a row. Then, I tried parcolumns, but for some reason, the second "row" had a huge space between the first two words. Does anyone know of an environment suitable for this kind of work?

I installed the vim-latex suite. Syntax colors are working great, but the autoindent feature is not working like it works for .html and .f90 files. My .vimrc file is, as far as I can see, correct:
Code:
syntax on
" REQUIRED. This makes vim invoke Latex-Suite when you open a tex file.
filetype plugin on
" IMPORTANT: win32 users will need to have 'shellslash' set so that latex
" can be called correctly.
set shellslash
" IMPORTANT: grep will sometimes skip displaying the file name if you
" search in a singe file. This will confuse Latex-Suite. Set your grep
" program to always generate a file-name.
set grepprg=grep -nH $* .....

I'm having trouble opening a pptx (powerpoint tex ie tex as in latex) file with LibreOffice. For the most part, LibreOffice opens the pptx file fine except for the fact that it is not translating certain mathematical symbols right. I really need to be able to open pptx files as many mathematicians are windows users. I figure there is a package or something I need to install but I don't know what it is.....

Our Matlab users met the problem in Ubuntu while using Latex interpreter in Matlab. Namely, eps and pdf files generation out of Matlab plot outputs plot legend and axes lables incorrectly. All the letters are mixed, impression that character spaces are too dense. We can't blame Matlab, since exactly the same examples with the same Matlab version work fine on CentOS. We tested Ubntu 9.10, 10.4 and 10.10 -- same problem. Matlab version R2010b.
In addition, jpg, png generated with no problems. It's eps and pdf only
Matlab example:
plot(1:1:10)
xlabel('example','Interpreter','latex')
ylabel('ExAmPlE','Interpreter','latex')
a=legend('EXAMPLE example ExAmPle')
set(a,'Interpreter','latex','Fontsize',13)
print -depsc2 figure1
I am attaching a PDF, looks same as eps, but easier to display.

I'm trying to install Python and a LaTeX editor and can't really get either to work out. For texlive, I used 'sudo apt-get texlive-full', which didn't generate any errors, but I now can't seem to open the application. For Python, I used 'sudo apt-get update sudo apt-get install python2.6' which generated the error "Unable to lock directory /var/cache/apt/archives." I tried to remove a lock file that I read about on another post and open up SPM, but the error persisted.

A few days ago there was a huge TexLive update. Since I've installed the updates I get following error, when running pdfLatex:
Code:
kpathsea: Running mktexfmt pdflatex.fmt
So I guess it can't find pdflatex.fmt, but I don't know what to do against it.

Today I discovered a strange issue regarding LaTeX. I am currently working on my thesis and sometimes edit it on my laptop with F13 x86_64, and others with my office's Mac (Leopard). Fedora has TexLive installed (default Latex distribution) and I believe the Mac has its default distribution as well.
The problem is that the Mac seems to compile the document better (Latex + Bibtex + Latex + dvips + ps2pdf): page distribution looks better for one thing, space is better used. I notice that images (EPS) are rendered with an extra blank space on the bottom when compiling in Linux (which might be responsible for the page's arrangement).
Is there something I can do to fix this? Some option that perhaps the Mac has as a default but must be specified in Linux?
