Dear Kornel,
with your help I have a functioning TL GUI installation.
The active GUI can be called as user from Konsole, which is what I was
heading for.
However, editing of the GUI became possible only after giving write
permission to 'tlpkg' in
/usr/bin/texlive/2016/tlpkg
I presume that was a necessary change to do ?!
Weird, you only need execute and read permissions.
Yes, but then I can fully edit TL's GUI as a *USER* - so does it not
make sense?
I find two installations:
/usr/bin/texlive/2016/bin/x86_64-linux (413 items)
and
/usr/local/texlive/2016/bin/x86_64-linux (413 items)
This one looks OK.
Both are of the same structure and size (139,5 MiB) and both have
'tlmgr' in /x86:64-linux.
Settings of PATH in '.bash_profile':
PATH=/usr/local/texlive/2016/bin/x86_64-linux:$PATH; export PATH
(INFOPATH and MANPATH are set accordingly)
My core question is now:
Do I have to keep both installations as they are or should/could I
remove one (for reason of saving space) without loosing functionality ?
I don’t have /usr/bin/texlive/2016, so I suppose you have eventually installed
it there too in some
previous try.
Which of the two could/should possibly be removed and if so, how to
safely do that?
Try to *rename* /usr/bin/texlive/2016 to /usr/bin/texlive/xxxx.
If everything still works, you may remove /usr/bin/texlive/xxxx.
I renamed /.../texlive/2016 to /.../texlive/xxxx and find that I can
call 'tlmgr gui' as user just as before and edit it (e.g. update, change
mirror etc.)
Would it suffice to do:
rm -rf /usr/bin/texlive/xxxx
?
Please advise.
Thanks and cheers,
Michael
