I was too quick: The tlmgr is from an earlier texlive which is in
/usr/share/texlive2016.
How do I get the tlmgr from
/usr/local/texlive/2017/bin/x86_64-linux
working? Do I have to set a path? How? Which one?
sorra for silly questions, but I got stuck here
Wolfgang
Why don't you set your PATH so that
"/usr/local/texlive/2017/bin/x86_64-linux" is before "/usr/bin"?
Kornel
Isn't, what I have? >>
#paths for texlive2017
PATH=/usr/local/texlive/2017/bin/i386-linux:$PATH; export PATH
MANPATH=/usr/local/texlive/2017/texmf-dist/doc/man:$MANPATH;
export MANPATH
INFOPATH=/usr/local/texlive/2017/texmf-dist/doc/info:$INFOPATH;
export
INFOPATH
Wolfgang
WRONG PATH, change "i386-linux" to "x86_64-linux"
If you do this, then what does
# which tlmgr
or
# where tlmgr
say?
Is /usr/local/texlive/2017/bin/x86_64-linux/tlmgr executable?
Kornel
Thanks, Kornel, I have changed to what you wrote. How would I on the
command line change the rights for the tlmgr.pl, which are right now
user=root and group=root?
This is OK, if you installed as root (which you have apparently)
Unfortunately I have uninstalled the 2016 texlive and have no tlmgr
available
tlmgr is part of TL2017 as well.
Here:
#which tlmgr
/usr/local/texlive/2017/bin/x86_64-linux/tlmgr
# ls -l /usr/local/texlive/2017/bin/x86_64-linux/tlmgr
~/Downloads$ which tlmgr
>no response
Means that the PATH is not OK.
Check
# ls -l /usr/local/texlive/2017/bin/x86_64-linux/tlmgr
lrwxrwxrwx 1 kornel kornel 41 nov 25 2016

(I installed it as user kornel, so I am not forced to be root for
instance for updates)
we@wolfgang-Mr-Whisper-Ultra-SSD-II:~/Downloads$ where tlmgr
bash: where: Kommando nicht gefunden.
Where is csh built-in command, sorry, try using csh or tcsh
I tried also ~/Downloads$ whereis tlmgr
tlmgr:
no further output.
Its a mess with me!
whereis does not respect PATH, so its output is not relevant.

Thanks, Kornel, for your patience.
Here are the outputs; I see no difference to yours:

if I start as user
tlmgr gui
I get the menus but are told I have no rights and most of the
selections are grayed out.
If I start as root, the command is not found.
# tlmgr gui
bash: tlmgr: Kommando nicht gefunden.
do I need different PATH settings for the root?
Confused: Wolfgang
I found under
----------------
https://askubuntu.com/questions/66498/setting-tex-live-path-for-root
What worked for me: I started |tlmgr| in gui mode with
|sudo env PATH="$PATH" tlmgr --gui |
and then in the third menu chose the last item but one (in my German
menu, that is menu "Aktionen" (actions?) and item "Verwaltung der
symbolischen Links" (administration of symbolic links?). In the ensuing
dialogue window I clicked the button "Symbolische Links erneuern" (renew
symbolic links?). Now
|sudo tlmgr --OPTIONS |
works without problems. I'm sure there's also a command line way of
doing this ;)
-----------------------
and another note:
You really don't have to add the directory of |tlmgr| to the path. A
simple quick solution is using |which|, e.g.:
|sudo $(which tlmgr) update --list -------------------- |
