 Somewhere along the line they broke out the packages into many
 subpackages, so you'll probably need many of them, but not necessarily all.

 To add the repo to your system do this:

 rpm -Uvh
 http://jnovy.fedorapeople.org/texlive/texlive-release-2011.el6.noarch.rpm

 Then you should be able to just 'yum install' what you need.
 I'd start with yum install texlive-2011 then see what else you need.  As
 I mentioned, I haven't done this myself on SL6.

 May not be a good idea to download them one by one.  How do update the

 Also, should remove the texlive-2007 before update to texlive-2011?

 Thank you very much for all those who have replied my query.

 I did install TeX support when I installed SL 6.4., but have found
 that the LaTeX system has not been completely installed.  What I mean is
 that some style files *.sty or *.dtx are missing or out of date.  I need to
 get them from ctan.org or somewhere else.  For example, I recently
 compiled a package that needs to use hyperref, but I got a lot of errors,
 because the hyerref is the system is old version (2007/02/07 v6.75r), I
 need to obtain a new version (2012/11/06 v6.83m) from ctan.org and
 installed it.  After installing the new version of hyperref, I got a lot of
 style file missing.  It took me a while to work out what I need is the
 oberdiek package.

 I am not sure how the LaTeX community works, but assume that when all
 new packages, style files, *.ins *.dtx, new version files are stored in
 ctan.org.  There should be a way to install/update a complete (with
 all existing packages, new packages, and new version packages) TeX
 distribution on SL.  It seems other platforms can do that.


 For example, hyperref ctan.or

 Start with the tetex components in the yum repository? If those
 aren't complete, you can also look at the tetex and tetex-tex4ht
 SRPM's and see what packages are listed in their .spec files, or build
 them and see what you get.

Re: Install the whole TeX/LaTeX distribution

2013-05-23 Thread W K Daniel PUN
Thanks Robert.

Just a few questions:

1. Do you know how often will the ISO image be updated, once a year?

2. Have you tried to install the ISO image on SL?

3. Should all texlive packages be removed from the current system before
the installation is started?

Thanks,
-Daniel.

Okay.  I know what you mean.  I didn't realise that I need to install

 But you installed this package?
 http://jnovy.fedorapeople.org/texlive/texlive-release-2011.el6.noarch.rpm

 Do you use yum-plugin-priorities, which could block the new repository?

 If jou have a look in
 /etc/yum.repos.d/texlive-release.repo
 you should find the
 baseurl=http://jnovy.fedorapeople.org/texlive/packages.el6/

 If you follow this link and search for texlive-scheme you can find the
 packages which are part of this repository. Therefore I think there must
 be something else in your yum config which could block the repo.

Re: Failed Messages from Booting

2013-04-30 Thread W K Daniel PUN
I'd better to leave it like that then.  It just feels a bit supernatural
when a system complains something and you don't know the scene behind.
Thank you very much for your expertise.

I now know how to avoid the failures, but do not know what make the
connection attempt on boot fail.  The wireless device is present and on,
and not out of range (only about two metres distance between the wireless
device and my computer).  After the system boot up and I log into the
system, the connection attempt is made successfully.  Is it something in
the system (software) or in my computer (hardware) not ready yet during the
connection attempt on boot?

 It is set to connect automatically, which means that ONBOOT=yes is set
 in its config file in /etc/sysconfig/network-**scripts/ifcfg-[device]. To
 prevent a connection attempt on boot you would change that to no in the
 config file or uncheck connect automatically under edit connections
 from the desktop network manager widget.

 If you do this you will need to manually select a wireless network to
 connect to after you log in -- not really a big deal, but this appears to
 be another Network Manager wart which prevents the boot time from being
 dependent on wireless negotiation (which can take a while sometimes). In
 any case, things seem to be working as intended.



Adobe Reader gets Gtk-WARNIKNG

2013-04-22 Thread W K Daniel PUN
Hi all,

I like to use Adobe Reader to view PDF files on SL 6.4 and have installed
the version 9.5.4.  When I use it to open a PDF with the command line below:

   acroread foo.pdf

I got a lot

(acroread:5362): Gtk-WARNING **: Unable to locate theme engine in
module_path: clearlooks,

and I still can read the PDF without any problems.

The Gtk-WARNING could means that Adobe Reader has selected a theme that
uses the theme engine clearlooks, which is not installed on the system.

Some suggests to install gtk-theme-engine-clearlooks, but it is not in the
list when I did yum list gtk*

Some suggests to install gtk2-engines.i686, but I already have
gtk2-engines-2.18.4-5.el6.x86_64 on SL6.4.  Should gtk2-engines.i686 be
installed?

Any suggestions?

-Daniel.

 Thanks John.  I didn't realise that I have already got a mixed set of
 packages. What I tried to do now is that I remove the vlc package and then
 reinstall it with

 sudo yum --disablerepo=* --enablerepo=atrpms install vlc

 The installation is okay, but the Security update message still come.

 Extensible Binary Meta Language library
 libebml-1.2.1-1.el6 (x86_64)

 Open audio/video container format library
 libmatroska-1.2.0-1.el6 (x86_64)

 Universal Plug and Play (UPnP) SDK
 libupnp-1.6.18-2.el6 (x86_64)


 When click on update, I got


 No packages to update

 None of the slected packages could be updated.

 More details

 How can these 4 updates be stopped?

 Hi John,  other,

 Thank you very much for your reply.

 I did try to use atrpms.  After installing vlc, the system keep asking
 me to update a few libs and when I did it and got following errors.  The
 vlc is working fine with my system at the moment.  I don't want to
 remove the repos epel and rpmforge from my system.  Do I really need to
 get these updates done?  If don't, how can these update messages be
 stopped coming?  Or, should --skip-broken be used to work around as

 You now have a mixed set of packages; I warned you about that.  I don't
 think you need to remove the other repos, but you ought to try disabling
 them during the installation process.  Todd's script looks as if it will do
 that - although you might now need to reinstall rather than upgrade - but
 other conflicts may emerge.  I shall probably be working with variants of
 that script to reconfigure my Fedora box, but my experience of mixing these
 repos is limited.

 You could try using --skip-broken to work around the problem
 You could try running: rpm -Va --nofiles --nodigest

  I have used both, and both work well.  I've used ATrpms for more than 8
 years, but at present there is little activity there, and I don't know if
 that is likely to change.  It's much more of a one-man show than rpmfusion
 - which I suppose you meant - although the vlc builds are an exception.

 There are many dependencies, which would  normally be satisfied by
 packages from the matching repo.  A mix is likely to give trouble.
