Ubuntu :: Installing LyX In 9.10, But With TeXLive 2008 DVD?
Jan 23, 2010
I'm new on these forums (and to Linux generally); I'm not sure if this is the right place for this question. If not, I'd appreciate it if one of the mods could move it to where it belongs. OK, so I've already install my TeX system on Ubuntu 9.10 by means of the TeXLive 2008 DVD. Now, I want to install LyX with
Code:
sudo apt-get install lyx It then asks me to install the following packages:
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.
I installed TeXLive on Linux (Fedora 14) but I don't know how to add additional LaTeX packages that are available from CTAN (Comprehensive TeX Archive Network) easily. It seems TeXLive has its own package manager called "tlmgr" but I could not activate it or find it through "yum search". Is there an easy way to install additional Latex packages besides the manual method stated in [URL]..
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'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'm trying to get a template working with texlive in Karmic. When I try to compile normally, I get errors that it can't find certain .sty files, which are part of the standard packages that get installed. (amsmath.sty, etc... graphics.sty, xspace.sty). If I run latex with sudo, the problem disappears. I guess this has something to do with file read permissions. So I found where all of these files are located and did:
Code: sudo chmod -R 777 /usr/share/texmf-texlive/
This did not solve the problem. Does anybody happen to know what the issue is here? I have done some searching around and haven't found anything useful that doesn't involve copying all the files somewhere else.
compiling texlive2009 from slackbuilds.org with xindy on 13.1. I need xindy for my documents so I had no option but to solve the issue. I turned out that I had to remove clisp, install libsigsegv with the option "--enable-shared", then build clisp without libsigsegv (the stock clisp ships with libsigsegv built in), and then texlive2009 compiles ok.Maybe it would be better if Slackware shipped with libsigsegv compiled with shared libraries? xindy is really important for non latin alphabets.
I have installed both TexLive and Texmaker (using the package manager). Now I am trying to set up Texmaker to use TexLive for compiling. Everything I can find online suggests that the files should be located in a location such as this:
Code: /usr/local/texlive/2005/bin/i386-linux
However, for me the "texlive" folder does not exist within "/usr/local". Where else might the necessary files be located?
Also, running Code: tex -version
suggests that TexLive 2009 is installed correctly.
is texlive package exits in fedora 12 ?i haven't found it.in previous release of fedora i was just installing kile and latex was working but in fedora 12 i think that tex doesn't exist.i wanna to know if it exist or not
I (or rather, the Yum auto-update) try to update the TeXLive on my FC11 machine but the update fails due to 'missing dependency', spitting out
Missing Dependency: libpoppler.so.4()(64bit) is needed by package texlive-2007-46.fc11.x86_64 (updates)
And strangely now (perhaps for a combination of reasons) I cannot use my auctex. I would like to finish this update anyway, and tried to find libpoppler.so.4 separately, which I haven't yet been able to locate. Poppler itself is installed and updated, and I do see libpoppler.so.5 in my system. So where would I find libpoppler.so.4 on its own? Or should I perhaps downgrade poppler?
Is there anyone whose residence is in Hong Kong? I am trying to installing TeXLive 2010 through web-installation, and the source is in [URL] but the download speed is too low, sometime it even quit installation. Can I use some command to force the installing program to use another source?
can get TexLive 2010 for Fedora using a special yum repository at [URL] What yum commands should one use to install it? Does it automatically replace the default Fedora TexLive 2007 installation?
I have the "publishing" repo enabled. Today I received an update to texlive (to version 2010-37.1) and almost all the documentclasses disappeared! Not even the article documentclass is available!
EDIT: I forgot to mention I'm using openSUSE 11.2 64 bits.
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.
I am creating a latex document (in English) where I want to write some Sanskrit words in Devanagari script. In my debian-5.0.4 OS where I have texlive-latex3 I did it by installing a package called latex-sanskrit. Is there any such package for opensuse-11.2 and which repository contains it? It will be preferable if it can be installed by yast2.
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 installed TeXlive 2010 and when i compile this command pdflatex it shows the following error:
warning: kpathsea: configuration file texmf.cnf not found in these directories: /usr/bin:/usr:/usr/share/texlive:/usr/bin/share/texmf-local/web2c:/usr/share/texmf-local/web2c:/usr/share/texlive/share/texmf-local/web2c:/usr/bin/texmf-local/web2c:/usr/texmf-local/web2c:/usr/share/texlive/texmf-local/web2c:/usr/bin/share/texmf/web2c:/usr/share/texmf/web2c:/usr/share/texlive/share/texmf/web2c:/usr/bin/texmf/web2c:/usr/texmf/web2c:/usr/share/texlive/texmf/web2c.
I recently installed a Slackware-13.1 32 bit system and I encountered an odd problem. I had a texlive-2010 package from slackbuilds.org, previously compiled on another 32 bit Slack-13.1 system. I just installed the precompiled package on the new system. However, whenever I tried to issue a latex command, kpathsea complained that it cannot find the shared library file libkpathsea.so.6. I googled a bit and I found that this could be circumvented by setting the environment variable LD_LIBRARY_PATH to "/usr/share/texmf/lib", where the library in question actually is.
This solved the problem. The weird thing is that on other machines I have installed, kpathsea had no issues whatsoever and I did not have to set the LD_LIBRARY_PATH. The only difference is that on those systems I had compiled and installed texlive, not just installing a precompiled package. Could that be causing the issue?
I am having some problems getting rdesktop working with sound. From what I understand, I should be able to use the following to allow sound support:
Code: rdesktop -r sound:local [server ip address]
I can see that Windows says that it's outputting sound to a "remote audio", but there is no sound. If I connect to the same server with a windows rdp session, everything seems to work great.
i am a project student and i am purposing an enterprise to change all client OS's to ubuntu, but problem is that enterprise want to stay with server 2008R2(They Dont want to change it). so my job is to make a ubuntu image which can integrate microsoft server 2008 R2. the enterprise want Ubuntu to work with
1. MS Domain/AD 2. MS Proxy Server 3. Radius Server 4. Exchange Server etc.
i am looking forward to distribute Ubuntu. if said above is possible then how?? which version of ubuntu i have to use?
I've done a bit of googling but have not been able to find a definitive answer. Can Samba4 replace the Active Directory on a Windows Server 2008 platform? I want to bring down my DC and replace it with a Samba4 server, but the AD is at 2008 level.
I Installed Ubuntu 9.10 on perfectly working dual boot computer (I have Win7, WinServer 2008 & Mac OSX). After Installation, GRUB consolidated Win7 & WinSer 2008 and just put WinServer2008. Windows 7 totally disappeard. I'm sure it did't go any where, but GRUB did some consolidation and put just WS 2008.
Before Ubuntu 9.1.0 Install my Dual Boot OS are Win7 WinServer 2008 & Mac OS X
After Ubuntu 9.1.0 Install my Dual Boot OS are Ubuntu 9.1.0 Windows Vista Loader - This is WinServer 2008 & Mac OS X
I have problem with login into Windows 2008 server usning rdesktop 1.6. While I'm connect Windows 2008 host, prompts username and password i get an error: "Wrong username or password" but i'm sure that username and pass are correct (I can connect this server using windows Remote Desktop). My OS is Ubuntu 10.04 64-bit.
