| robottinosino | hi, i am having problems installing LaTeX. example: dpkg: error processing texlive-base (--configure) | 12:12 |
|---|---|---|
| robottinosino | What debugging info should I provide? | 12:21 |
| mitya57 | robottinosino: is there anything after that line? | 12:23 |
| robottinosino | hi mitya57, and thanks for helping. | 12:24 |
| robottinosino | screenfuls of error messages, even overflowing (as in: No apport report written because MaxReports is reached already) | 12:24 |
| mitya57 | robottinosino: please pastebin those messages somewhere (or show a screenshot) | 12:24 |
| robottinosino | No problem to pastebin, where can I get the "log" from dpkg? | 12:25 |
| mitya57 | also, which release are you using? | 12:25 |
| mitya57 | /var/log/dpkg.log, but the printed error messages are usually more helpful | 12:25 |
| robottinosino | mitya57: Ok, so i need to copy/paste those from gnome-terminal? (it's a few screens of them) Or just pastebin the dpkg.log? | 12:28 |
| mitya57 | robottinosino: please paste from terminal (not ones coming from apport, but ones coming from dpkg/apt) | 12:29 |
| * robottinosino working on it.. | 12:29 | |
| robottinosino | release is: raring (but after an upgrade) | 12:30 |
| mitya57 | !pastebinit | robottinosino | 12:31 |
| ubottu | robottinosino: pastebinit is the command-line equivalent of !pastebin - Command output, or other text can be redirected to pastebinit, which then reports an URL containing the output - To use pastebinit, install the « pastebinit » package from a package manager - Simple usage: command | pastebinit -b http://paste.ubuntu.com | 12:31 |
| mitya57 | ^ you can use that, it makes things easier | 12:31 |
| robottinosino | mitya57: thank you. | 12:37 |
| robottinosino | mitya57: here is a start: http://sprunge.us/RGEj | 12:37 |
| mitya57 | robottinosino: looks like texlive-base postinst script fails without any error message :( | 12:40 |
| robottinosino | bad times :( | 12:40 |
| robottinosino | i can apt-get remove --purge manyThings | 12:41 |
| robottinosino | should i? | 12:41 |
| mitya57 | robottinosino: can you please run "sudo dpkg-reconfigure texlive-base" and paste the output? | 12:42 |
| robottinosino | of course i can. thanks again for "staying with this".. | 12:43 |
| robottinosino | I am using the system directly as root, not sudo'ing, should I try doing the same routine as "tinosino"? | 12:44 |
| robottinosino | could that be the problem? | 12:44 |
| mitya57 | that shouldn't matter | 12:44 |
| robottinosino | i noticed when you said "sudo ..." | 12:44 |
| robottinosino | output: /usr/sbin/dpkg-reconfigure: texlive-base is broken or not fully installed | 12:45 |
| mitya57 | robottinosino: sorry, that command should be "dpkg --configure texlive-base" instead | 12:46 |
| robottinosino | sudo: dpkg-reconfigure: command not found | 12:47 |
| robottinosino | right... | 12:47 |
| mitya57 | robottinosino: stop, why do you have version 2009-15 on raring? | 12:48 |
| mitya57 | it should be 2012.20120611-5... | 12:48 |
| robottinosino | oh... i have no idea why... here the output: http://sprunge.us/DDVU | 12:49 |
| robottinosino | should i apt-get remove --purge stuff... then you can tell me which package name to install? | 12:50 |
| mitya57 | robottinosino: 2009-15 was in precise, and looks like it was really broken (I see lots of "installation failed" bug reports at https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/texlive-base/) | 12:50 |
| robottinosino | right... | 12:51 |
| mitya57 | robottinosino: did you upgrade from precise to raring? | 12:51 |
| mitya57 | and did you have texlive installed before upgrade? | 12:51 |
| robottinosino | i googled before coming here and i did see many other people struggling | 12:51 |
| robottinosino | as a matter of fact | 12:52 |
| robottinosino | in the meantime i have got a VM up, to have a fresh install, and that fails too.. but the vm is 12.04 (please don't be confused by this, it's just an attempt i made on the side, to see whether i could quickly compile my latex and get on with the week-end.. :) so... it's failing in 12.04 fresh and in 13.04 upgraded.. | 12:53 |
| mitya57 | robottinosino: so you upgraded from 12.04 to 13.04, right? | 12:54 |
| mitya57 | and did you have texlive installed before upgrade? | 12:55 |
| robottinosino | in one system, yes | 12:55 |
| robottinosino | yes, i did | 12:55 |
| mitya57 | robottinosino: as a workaround, you can purge all texlive* packages and then try to install them back | 12:55 |
| robottinosino | that's what i wanted to do :) thanks for giving me the go-ahead! :) | 12:56 |
| robottinosino | apt-get remove --purge texlive* ? | 12:56 |
| mitya57 | robottinosino: yes, that should work | 12:57 |
| robottinosino | mitya57: thank you | 12:57 |
| mitya57 | we of course should fix texlive in precise also, maybe I'll look at it but not today | 12:57 |
| robottinosino | mitya57: right.. | 12:58 |
| robottinosino | all's gone. apt-get returned | 12:59 |
| robottinosino | mitya57: i am reinstalling texlive to try again | 13:13 |
| robottinosino | family calls though.. so i can't spend all day on this.. i'll be back with more info | 13:14 |
| robottinosino | mitya57: thanks a lot for your help so far, i appreciate it a lot | 13:14 |
| robottinosino | it is my duty to report that i tried installing texlive-full (even..) on 12.04 LTS and that succeeds if run with sudo as user tinosino and _fails_ (!!) if run just the same but as root, without sudo... | 13:40 |
| mitya57 | that's strange | 13:42 |
| robottinosino | mitya57: you know what? that _totally_ baffles me | 13:44 |
| robottinosino | and that confusion, for me.. (in my case, not yours) is a total sign of ignorance.. i just realise i dont' really _understand_ the difference btw sudo and direct login | 13:45 |

| cjwatson | Aha, I think I might be able to finish the libgd2->libgd3 (plus intertangled net-snmp) transition tonight | 22:39 |
