General ⇒ Beamer: Undefined control sequence \beamer@frameslide ...

[meanna007]

There is only one problem i am not able to sort out in Beamer presentation. If I want to make a 2 page presentation, I am getting a 4 page where page 1& 3 are unwanted pages (showing only page number ). Page 2 and 4 are genuine. My question is why i am getting those extra pages containing page number.

Code: Select all

\documentclass[hyperref={pdfpagelabels=false}]{beamer}

\mode<presentation>
  \usetheme{Berlin}
  \setbeamercovered{transparent}

\usepackage[english]{babel}
\usepackage[latin1]{inputenc}
\usepackage{times}
\usepackage[T1]{fontenc}
\usepackage{xcolor}


\subject{Talks}


%\beamerdefaultoverlayspecification{<+->}
\title{Hadronization of a Fourth-Generation Top Quark
 and measurement of its Lifetime}
 
\author[]{sss }
\date{\today}

\begin{document}

\frame{\titlepage}

\begin{frame}{Plan of My Talk}
\begin{itemize}
\item Motivation for an extra generation of quark.
\item Electroweak constraint on fourth generation.
\item Lifetime and branching ratios of $t'$ quark.
\item Measurement of \textcolor{violet}{$\Gamma_{t'}$} and \textcolor{violet}{$V_{t'b'}$}.

\end{itemize}
\end{frame}
\end{document}

There are only two errors, probably denoting the two extra page error. The error looks like below:

Code: Select all

! Undefined control sequence.
\beamer@frameslide ...duration=}\thispdfpagelabel 
                                                  {\insertframenumber } \xde...
l.27 \frame{\titlepage}
                       
The control sequence at the end of the top line
of your error message was never \def'ed. If you have
misspelled it (e.g., `\hobx'), type `I' and the correct
spelling (e.g., `I\hbox'). Otherwise just continue,
and I'll forget about whatever was undefined.

I am using Windows XP, Texnic Center, MikTex 2.8. Also genuine pgf, xcolor, hyperref (all upto date). Thanks for any kind of help.

The problem goes away for me if I remove:

Code: Select all

hyperref={pdfpagelabels=false}

from the options to the documentclass. Do you know you need that? I'm not sure that option is compatible with beamer.

well, if you dont use , then you will get one extra warning. No reprise from my mail problem. Thanks anyway

I tested the example and got two pages, without error. Perhaps post the complete log file as attachment here. The additional information inside might help.

Hi,

it may be a bug in the beamer version you are using. You could update your beamer package.

There's a workaround: defining the macro which is said to be unknown:

Code: Select all

\providecommand{\thispdfpagelabel}[1]{}

This and further information can be found here: Beamer - undefined control sequence.
