Problem updating miktex

Per Ting — 2013-06-10T19:42:05

Hello,

When I try to update miktex (2.9) today I get the error message

Error: The operation could not be completed because the following file
failed verification:

C:\Users\UserName\AppData\Local\Temp\mik273.tmp

Any hints what the source of this problem is and how can it be avoided?

Thanks,

Problem with latest update of fixme.sty

Roland Stahn — 2013-06-06T19:26:05

Hi,

i have a problem with my MikTex 2.9 installation after the latest update
of the fixme.sty package (dated 2013-02-01).
The update seems to remove the 'themes' and 'layout' subdirectories of
the package with the following files:
[TEXMF]/tex/latex/fixme/layouts/fxlayout*.sty
[TEXMF]/tex/latex/fixme/layouts/env/fxenvlayout*.sty
[TEXMF]/tex/latex/fixme/layouts/target/fxtargetlayout*.sty
[TEXMF]/tex/latex/fixme/themes/fxtheme*.sty

This results into an error message when using the package.
The problem is similar to the following posting for MikTex 2.8:
http://miktex.10937.n7.nabble.com/FiXme-package-missing-files-td6643.html

I am not sure, if this is a problem of my local installation - a full
re-installation of MikTex 2.9 did not solve the problem though.
I was able to recover functionality by following the instruction from
this posting.
Shall i open a bug report for this issue?

Kind regards,

Roland

Dear all,

As you might know, stix has released the first stable version on 29 Feb
3013. I was wondering if the CTAN package stix gets the necessary update
accordingly.

 

Thanks,

It will be easier for someone to help if you provide a more complete
description: 1) how were the files were installed and 2) what is meant by
"not recognized".

STIX package

José Carlos Santos — 2013-05-27T14:09:17

Hi all,

I am posting a message whose author is unable to post now.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
The STIX fonts are a suite of unicode OpenType fonts containing a 
complete set of mathematical glyphs. The CTAN copy packaged on 
2010-06-04 is a mirror of the outdated official release, organised as 
specified by the TeX Directory Structure, for inclusion in standard TeX 
distributions.

A new version has been recently released. The StixFonts website 
(http://www.stixfonts.org/) states that
Version 1.1.0–latex–beta provides a new packaging format of the STIX 
fonts suitable for use with LaTeX.
This version is available for download at 
https://sourceforge.net/projects/stixfonts.
Participants are encouraged to provide feedback through 
https://sourceforge.net/projects/stixfonts/support.

Can anyone help me installing this package into the MikTeX system. I did 
it manually, but the installed files are not recognized by the system 
even after refreshing the file name

Hello everyone....
 
I used to get curly brackets { and } in text mode by just using \{ and \}. Now the only way to get those is using $\{$.
 
Am I missing something? Has something changed? or I'm doing something wrong... any advise is appreciated
 
 
Thanks

Re: Use of TEXMFOUTPUT on Windows

Stephen Brooking — 2013-05-23T10:45:01


The trouble I have with that is that I'm using LyX, and it wants to put all
the output files in a temporary directory.  So writing to files/test.tex,
for example, will write the file to a directory within the temporary
hierarchy, rather than a subfolder of the main document.  Maybe this
therefore comes to be a question for LyX.

However, if I have control over TEXMFOUTPUT, why is this still a security risk?

Also, any idea why TEXMFOUTPUT doesn't seem to be having the effect that I
would expect?

Thanks and regards,
Steve

Use of TEXMFOUTPUT on Windows

Stephen Brooking — 2013-05-10T08:44:32

Hi,

I'm trying to use TEXMFOUTPUT to enable me to write this sort of thing in
my LaTeX document, and it not complain about not being able to write the
file:

  \begin{document}

  \section{A section}
  Some text in a section

  \newwrite\tempfile
  \immediate\openout\tempfile=C:/docs/test.tex
  \immediate\write\tempfile{Some text}
  \immediate\closeout\tempfile

  \end{document}

At the moment I get this error:

  ! I can't write on file `C:/docs/test.tex'

kpsewhich tells me that TEXMFOUTPUT is set to what I think it is:

  >kpsewhich --var-value=TEXMFOUTPUT
  C:/docs

If I remove the path in my document like this:

  \begin{document}

  \section{A section}
  Some text in a section

  \newwrite\tempfile
  \immediate\openout\tempfile=test.tex
  \immediate\write\tempfile{Some text}
  \immediate\closeout\tempfile

  \end{document}

And specify the output directory to pdflatex:

  >pdflatex -output-directory %TEXMFOUTPUT% doc.tex

then the test.tex fle is created where I want.  However, I'm using LyX, and
