Install the texlive-base and texlive-latex-base-doc packages (along with its dependencies). Then, at a command prompt, type:
$ texdoc clsguide This will report the following error message (assuming xpdf hasn't been installed): sh: xpdf: not found The expected result is that a PDF document (clsgiude.pdf) will be located on the system and opened using the PDF viewer. As a workaround, you can add the following line to your ~/.bashrc file: export TEXDOC_VIEWER_PDF="(evince %s) &" and then run: $ source ~/.bashrc This will tell texdoc to use evince instead of xpdf as the PDF viewer. You may have to set similar environment variables (e.g., TEXDOC_VIEWER_DVI) for other file types. -- texdoc should use evince and not xpdf https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/296288 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
