I have run my files on windows using latex and winedit as editor and miktex as compiler.
When I installed Texmaker in ubuntu 10.10 I was not able to run those file that have already been run in windows. Is there any configuration that should I do to make these files compatible for texmaker? or what should I do? By the way, I am not preferring to change from texmaker, but if there is any similar editor better than that , please let me know. What is the compiler that is working in Texmaker, and is it true that it is being installed with Ubuntu its self.
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 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.

I am trying to install a package called "mhchem" to use in texmaker on ubuntu but having trouble. I downloaded the .sty file but cannot seem to do anything with it. I also tries using terminal to download and install by typing:
sudo latex mhchem.sty I get an error messsage advising "i cannot find file 'mhchem.sty' Does anyone know what I can do to resolve this? I am using LaTeX for writing my PhD thesis and was originally using Texnic Centre on Windows on which mhchem worked fine.
Is it exist API to apt-get (or may be to aptitude or dpkg)?For example I want to check through API does package installed or not?
View 4 Replies View RelatedI installed Ubuntu 9 on my kids' computer a while back and usually the computer boots up and goes directly into Ubuntu. However, this morning when they booted it up, the following error message displayed: "The GDM user 'gdm' does not exist. Please correct GDM configuration and restart GDM." It seems that they had inadvertently messed up some configuration files. After pressing 'OK' it asked me for my user name and password, which I supplied, but that didn't work either. So, either I've forgotten my password or my kids seriously messed up their computer, so much so that I can even work with it in command line. I was thinking about simply reinstalling Ubuntu and possibly updating to version 10, but I'd rather not lose the files on the computer. Thus my question: Does anyone see a way of not losing my and my kids' files while getting back into Ubuntu?

View 4 Replies View RelatedI am dual-bootng Ubuntu 9.10 and Mint 8, both of which use GRUB2. The Mint 8 GRUB sets the initial menu since Mint was loaded after Ubuuntu 9.10. Since both use GRUB2 I was not concerned about this.
Both before the installation of Mint and afterward I see a series of messages fly by on the screen when Ubuntu is booted. These come right after the initial presentation of the Ubuntu logo.
By restarting several times I can read the first several lines. They are:
Mount: Mount Point 0 does not exist
Mount 0 terminated with status 32
Mountall: Filesystem could not be mounted
Further lines follow but I would have to reboot umpteen times to have any chance of copying those.
I have looked in the various Ubuntu GRUB2 files for "Mount Point 0". I do not see any reference to it.
GParted, BKID and etc/fstab all agree on the UUIDs set for my Ubuntu/, Ubuntu Home and Ubuntu swap file.
I see nothing like this when I boot Mint 8.
My questions:
What is the point to error messages (I assume that is what they are) that fly by too quickly to be read? Are they saved to a logfile somewhere?
What is "Mount Point 0"?
What does it mean in this context to say "Filesystem could not be mounted"?
This is all very curious because Ubuntu proceeds to mount and run just fine.
What is Ubuntu trying to do as it starts up that it cannot do?
How do I repair whatever has to be repaired in order to turn off these messages?
I have looked through such GRUB2 dcumentation as I can find without seeing any reference to this.
I would love to change the boot order on my laptop. Mainly because it is shared, and I am the only one who uses Ubuntu (version 9.10)... So everyone keeps moaning for me to change it!
Following all the sound advice from this forum it looks easy... Except /boot/grub/menu.lst does not exist!
I would get the message that the uuid file does not exist. I've been online looking for fixes since yesterday morning and nothing has helped at all. I've read online that I should run fdisk -l to obtain info to share with others, but that command doesn't work in any command prompt I open. I am running Ubuntu 9.10 with the latest patches and I'm sure you guys know that it runs Grub2 loader...if that helps at all.

I have a server running ubuntu 8.04 with apache2. What I'd like to know is how to go about setting up a domain name? I've looked at a heap of hosting sites, but they son't seem to allow you to specify your own IP address that you already have. Also, I'm not sure about what, if any kind of DNS software I would then have to run on my server. At this stage I'm only doing preliminary research about it I guess.
View 2 Replies View RelatedI recently have been trying out the Ubuntu live CD.
I have a shared computer where some are suspicious of anything other than Windows.
The live CD is an excellent way forward.
As I understand it Ubuntu is loaded into the computer RAM, thereby it makes no actual changes to the computer as it does not load into the hard drive.
I have noticed that if I have been doing work on the computer and forgotten to empty the trash, when I run the live CD on another occasion this material is still in the trash.
Is data put into the trash saved to the hard drive?
It does not matter to me if it is as long as I have deleted it but I would like to know where it goes if it does save to the hard drive.
I am running Windows 7 on a 64bit PC
I accidentally removed the partition in my hard drive where my Ubuntu was installed.After restarting my Laptop, I suddenly receive the message saying,

long story, I upgraded my system from maverick to natty, didn't like it so restored my system with a backup that I had done recently. after it rebooted I used gparted live CD to expand my partition, moving swap to the end of the HD, then when I rebooted grub didn't work so I booted with ubuntu live cd and reinstalled grub. then I booted normally but nautilus didn't work and had lots of problems. So I installed ubuntu again with ubuntu live cd, formating the partition and expanding it, no problems at all.But, I wanted my files back, so restored the system again, now the message that I get isQuote:
Gave up waiting for root device. Common problems:
-Boot args (cat /proc/cmdline)
-Check rootdelay= (did the system wait for the right device?)
[code]....
So I am reaching an unfortunate conclusion. I asked this of google and got no straight response so I conclude that it is impossible. taking a look at GParted with my 10.4 boot disk, I see
/dev/sda1 NTFS 74GB boot flag
and
unallocated unformatted 7.84GB no flag
So I assume that that 8gb used to be ubuntu.
In the process of trying to fix things, the computer no longer boots windows.
