[LON-CAPA-admin] bug report? latex style file is missing?

Wed Feb 6 11:58:48 EST 2019

Thanks Stuart.  That worked.

The latex process did refuse to render one .jpg file.   (There was an latex error about no eps version of /res/winona/NMoore/openstax-university-physics-2/photovoltaics/national_photovoltaic_2012-01.jpg being available.) Is png the optimal image format to include with loncapa problems?

No.

However, on Ubuntu 16 you will need to run the following command:

sudo /usr/bin/mktexlsr

Although LON-CAPA's ./UPDATE command installs picins.sty for Linux distros which do not have it, and then runs texconfig rehash (which in turn runs mktexlsr), on Ubuntu 16 (and 18 LTS) texconfig is absent, so mktexlsr needs to be called directly instead.

The version of picins_check.piml included in the LON-CAPA 2.11.3 release includes the appropriate call to texconfig or mktexlsr (depending on Linux distro/version), but the version shipped with the LON-CAPA 2.11.2 release expected to find texconfig on Ubuntu 16.

See: source.loncapa.org/cgi-bin/cvsweb.cgi/doc/loncapafiles/picins_check.piml.diff?r1=1.35;r2=1.36

I'm trying to use the "print out the problem as pdf with latex" option (the "print" button when you're looking at a homework problem).

Latex fails, particularly when the problems include image files.  The error message often looks like,

! LaTeX Error: File `picins.sty' not found.
 Type X to quit or  to proceed,
or enter new name. (Default extension: sty)  Enter file name:
 ! Emergency stop.

Note, this style file is on the loncapa server, root at LonCappa:~# locate picins.sty /usr/share/texmf/tex/latex/picins/picins.sty

Full error message below.  The specific problem I'm trying to print is in winona/NMoore<https://na01.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Furldefense.proofpoint.com%2Fv2%2Furl%3Fu%3Dhttp-3A__loncapa.winona.edu_priv_winona_NMoore_%26d%3DDwMGaQ%26c%3DnE__W8dFE-shTxStwXtp0A%26r%3DVsGo3jOm8tGLd6f-KlhT-g%26m%3DewRLCTny7fe6yoboD7abEgjnAGSPYAHcesp-FFQJO1U%26s%3Di9B2Vcr64HgLI6JqurPUo0FFiqUmU24f9QUUi79OZrU%26e&data=02%7C01%7Cnmoore%40winona.edu%7C1fba0739caa143ac950d08d68bc5981e%7C5011c7c60ab446ab9ef4fae74a921a7f%7C0%7C0%7C636850078124087582&sdata=xBmesFhbNmVME2dEmQIumPp5qqR8Tar85GOkKspR6cE%3D&reserved=0=>/openstax-university-physics-2<https://na01.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Furldefense.proofpoint.com%2Fv2%2Furl%3Fu%3Dhttp-3A__loncapa.winona.edu_priv_winona_NMoore_openstax-2Duniversity-2Dphysics-2D2_%26d%3DDwMGaQ%26c%3DnE__W8dFE-shTxStwXtp0A%26r%3DVsGo3jOm8tGLd6f-KlhT-g%26m%3DewRLCTny7fe6yoboD7abEgjnAGSPYAHcesp-FFQJO1U%26s%3DOoJlnX6EFxO-nYoEIuDp88WK4YJoRfn6uBSlZEVMRMw%26e&data=02%7C01%7Cnmoore%40winona.edu%7C1fba0739caa143ac950d08d68bc5981e%7C5011c7c60ab446ab9ef4fae74a921a7f%7C0%7C0%7C636850078124087582&sdata=snyMPIFA1mgk%2B3wITMT%2B0jhZiI%2BQ8TlGnaO4%2FsS5NRM%3D&reserved=0=>/photovoltaics<https://na01.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Furldefense.proofpoint.com%2Fv2%2Furl%3Fu%3Dhttp-3A__loncapa.winona.edu_priv_winona_NMoore_openstax-2Duniversity-2Dphysics-2D2_photovoltaics_%26d%3DDwMGaQ%26c%3DnE__W8dFE-shTxStwXtp0A%26r%3DVsGo3jOm8tGLd6f-KlhT-g%26m%3DewRLCTny7fe6yoboD7abEgjnAGSPYAHcesp-FFQJO1U%26s%3DafWnHuMpQSwS2L54GnycM6e5aYWZfSccBY55SQ9Krg8%26e&data=02%7C01%7Cnmoore%40winona.edu%7C1fba0739caa143ac950d08d68bc5981e%7C5011c7c60ab446ab9ef4fae74a921a7f%7C0%7C0%7C636850078124087582&sdata=z3LBTgIDJKTlF2K1ShpzcvhXvrefZB5CbGSR0%2FfHb3I%3D&reserved=0=>/house.problem

The loncapa server is running ubuntu 16.  Is there an extra latex package I should install?
