General ⇒ Problem with Luatex

[Ralph]

Hi,

We got a problem with one of our sites. This site is for testing people and their skills. We migrated it to an unbuntu 14.04 server and installed the livetext-full package, but we dont seem te get the rapports working....

It gives the following error:

ii [Loading MPS to PDF converter (version 2006.09.02).] ))))) (/var/www/aanhetwerknu/texmf/tex/generic/compare.tex (/var/www/aanhetwerknu/texmf/tex/generic/cwebxmac.tex) Underfull \vbox (badness 10000) has occurred while \output is active !

Hi and welcome Ralph,

Common, really? As a linux server admin, you can do better than that.


Build a minimal working example, show the exact error message and tell us more about the environment. Right now, i cannot even give an educated guess but to ask you, if all packages are up-to-date.

Welcome to the forum!

Yes, we need some more information. \pgfutil@EveryShipout@Output unknown sounds like pgf is missing. At least seeing the .log file would be helpful. You could post it here as attachment to a post.

Hi,

Be gentle with me. i am no latex expert

I looked for the document.log with find command but no luck

Here is some more info:

We use an ubuntu 14.04 server and have texlive 2014 installed in:

/usr/local/texlive/2014/bin/x86_64-linux/

The software had this mac livetex in the past:
//define('PDFTEX_PATH', '/usr/local/texlive/2013/bin/x86_64-darwin/luatex');

I changed it to:

define('PDFTEX_PATH', '/usr/local/texlive/2014/bin/x86_64-linux/luatex');

i checked the version with tex --version is ok

I checked the pgf with pdflatex is ok

The errors are comming from this script (i think...)

%% PGF deletes footer AND header lines from the shipout, this HACK puts them BACK
\catcode`@=11
\newbox\pgfutil@@Output@Box
\def\shipout{%
\ifhmode\hskip\else\vskip\fi 1sp

\pgfutil@@EveryShipout@Test}
\def\pgfutil@@EveryShipout@Test{%

\ifvoid\pgfutil@@Output@Box
\expandafter\aftergroup
\fi
\pgfutil@EveryShipout@Output}
\def\pgfutil@EveryShipout@Output{%

}%
\pgfutil@@EveryShipout@Org@Shipout\box\pgfutil@@Output@Box
}
\catcode`@=12

These are php files for the rapport scrips of the software.

The CV is also Livetex as is the certificate and they are both working.

Hi Ralph,

don't worry on the Internet sometimes it sounds rough what was meant a quick request for details.

I'm using TeX Live, Ubuntu as well, work with servers, script with PHP, but cannot do much with the current information.

I'm sure LuaTeX is running and the path is ok, because you got a (La)TeX error message. The cause must be in the code. Try providing a complete code sample here, which brings that error.

I put the PHP code in an attachment is this ok?

[Stefan Kottwitz]

I can see that your PHP script generates TeX code and stores it in the variable $tex.
Since we are a TeX forum, we can work with TeX, less with PHP, maybe you are able to print the $tex output so we can see it here?

Im sorry but i cannot solve this. We gonna outsource this problem to a freelancer, we spend allot of time on this but i am working blind without latex understanding.

We gonna put this on the jobboardsm but if some one has interest please let me know.

[Stefan Kottwitz]

As far as I see, that hack above relies on an older version of PGF and doesn't work with PGF 3.0. Simply remove it and test if your document works then. Perhaps you don't need this workaround any more. If you still would need it, then it would need to be adjusted to PGF 3.0 which comes with TeX Live 2014.

I have removed the hack and it try's to make the pdf but gives an error of a damaged file. Oh wel.... maybe one step closer!
