Re: Ubuntu -tex live 2011 set paths?

[John Kane]

Stefano,
My appologies in being so late in getting back to you. I just finally got 
around to dealing with this problem today (Saturday)

Your instructions for setting the path seem to have worked perfectly.

tex -v now gives me the correct version.

The only difference I found was that the path was
usr/local/texlive/2011/bin/i386-linux/

Now to figure out how to get tlmgr to work.

Thanks very much for the help.

 John,
 
 you definitely need to adjust the paths to the tex executables. How to
 do so depends in part on how you start lyx.  Do you use the command
 line, double-clicking the icon, or a menu?
 
 I would first get the path rights from the command line and then move
 on to the (possible, not necessary) issues of aligning the command
 line with the graphic environment.
 
 So:
 
 1. Find where the TL2011 executables are. Since the new installation
 is in /usr/local/tex, they should be just under it, either in
 bin/x86-linux or bin/x86_64-linux. Try listing them to be sure, typing
 the following in a shell (without the $ part):
 
 $ls /usr/local/texlive/2011/bin/x86-linux/tex or
 $ls /usr/local/texlive/2011/bin/x86_64-linux/tex
 
 or you may try the locate command
 
 $locate -b '\tex' | grep bin
 
 will list the files called 'tex' with the word 'bin in their paths.
 
 
 2. Once you know where the TL2011 executables are for sure, change the
 path in a shell and check that the correct executable is found. Let's
 say they are in /usr/local/texlive/2011/bin/x86_64-linux. Then
 
 $export PATH=/usr/local/texlive/2011/bin/x86_64-linux:$PATH
 
 $ tex  -v
 
 You should get the correct TL2011 version. if not, look back at step
 one, be sure you got it right.
 
 3. Now make your export permanent. You need to add the export line to
 one of the files that is read by your shell interpreter (most likely
 bash) when it starts. See whether you have a .bash_profile or a
 .profile file in your home directory (notice the initial dot):
 
 $less ~/.bash_profile
 
 $less ~/.profile
 
 if you do already have .bash_profile it is better to modify that one.
 If you do not have it, but have a .profile, then modify .profile
 
 Open either  file with an editor (vi, emacs, gedit, kate, etc) and add
 the line
 
 $export PATH=/usr/local/texlive/2011/bin/x86_64-linux:$PATH
 
 at the end (As a godd practive, put a comment before it, preceded by
 #. Something like # Added by John to access texlive 2011 on
 3/12/2012')
 
 Save the file, close the shell (the terminal window), open another
 shell (terminal window) and try the 'tex -v' command. You should get
 the right version.
 
 4. Now start lyx from that shell (just type lyx at the prompt),
 reconfigure (ToolsReconfigure), exit lyx, and restart it. Check the
 tex installation with ToolsTeX Information, and clcik the check box
 that says Show path. If everythong is correct you should see a long
 list of latex classes and other files all with the
 /usr/local/texlive/2011 prefix.
 
 5. Now you are all set for the command line. For the graphic
 environment. If you use KDE, see my older post (which you referred to
 in you rmessage). If you use gnome, I cannot help because I never used
 it.
 
 
 When I try to invoked tlmgr I get:
 john@ubuntu:~$ tlmgr
 No command 'tlmgr' found, did you mean:
  Command 'vlmgr' from package 'qdbm-util' (universe)
  Command 'rlmgr' from package 'qdbm-util' (universe)
 tlmgr: command not found
 
 Any advice would be most welcome.
 
 tlmgr came out in texlive 2010 I believe. OR possibly TL2011. Since
 only tl2009 is in your path, it is not found. Once you fix the problem
 with the paths it should show up.
 
 
 Cheers,
 
 Stefano
 
 
 
 

Selective page numbering...

[Gerhardus Geldenhuis]

Hi
I have a fairly large table that just about fits onto one page. I prefer it
to be only one one page and not split it across two pages. The problem is
that the page number is displaying over the table and I would prefer it not
to do that. Is there any way to get the page number not to overwrite the
table or get it not to display for a specific page?

I think if you use the fancy header package (fancyhdr  I think)  you can
display the actual page number else where, as in to the left / right.
