Just as a note, I tried to reproduce on my Ubuntu 12.04 x64 setup (2009-15) by intentionally reconfiguring my $HOME with usermod. I did not notice any slowdown - so either texlive became tolerant of this or my laptop is too fast to notice the extra work... --- Ubuntu Bug Squad volunteer triager ht

I am currently checking whether a trailing slash in $HOME should even be valid. From what I'm seeing, it isn't / shouldn't be, as such a trailing slash does change the behaviour of more programs than texlive. https://common.helixcommunity.org/2004/devdocs/quickstart http://www.topwebhosts.org/arti

Hi guys, I really notice this issue as bug as latex system. And this is not the configuration issue (!), because all other 'standard' app (from ubuntu stable repos) are working ok with extra '/' character at $home var. I fixed this issue by removing extra '/' character as well, but I think this i

I'll mark this "invalid" as it was discovered to be a configuration issue. PDFLatex is lightning fast for me on 12.04 (but then again my computer is fast to begin with). -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.laun

The extra "/" causes your $TEXMFHOME to contain //, making TeX search your entire $HOME recursively for each file you open. Bad idea. Please don't configure your system this way. Can anyone close this bug? -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is s

Get the same issue on Ubuntu 10.10 and texlive 2009-10, and I have extra "/" in $HOME variable. Installation of texlive takes about 1.5 hours, and compilation of sample tex file takes about 5 minutes. The removing of extra "/" fixes the problem. -- Texlive/pdflatex is very slow on Gutsy/Hardy htt

I found the reason: $HOME was set to "/home/PCNAME/USERNAME/". The extra "/" caused the problem! With $HOME="/home/PCNAME/USERNAME", Latex works fast again! -- Texlive/pdflatex is very slow on Gutsy/Hardy https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/231883 You received this bug notification because you are a

Thanks for the quick answer! No, my home is not on NIS and I did not change any TEXMF settings. My $HOME is correctly set to /home/PCNAME/USERNAME. But the funny thing is, there are no texmf config files in $HOME. In particular, the ".texmf- var" directory is missing, for whatever reason. -- Tex
