I can't open any latex file

Post by jalt »

On Wednesday my computer crashed. And since then I can't open any latex file. Including those that you were not using at the time the computer crashed. Here is what it says when I try to open a latex file:

This is pdfTeX, Version 3.14159265-2.6-1.40.21 (TeX Live 2020) (preloaded format=pdflatex)
\write18 enabled.
entering extended mode
! I can't find file `"/run/media/jalt/KINGSTON/Language/English/English Book by
jalt/TEX/.Capitulo 01 Presente Simple.tex.swp"'.
<*> ...t/TEX/.Capitulo 01 Presente Simple.tex.swp"

(Press Enter to retry, or Control-D to exit)
Please type another input file name
! Emergency stop.
<*> ...t/TEX/.Capitulo 01 Presente Simple.tex.swp"

! ==> Fatal error occurred, no output PDF file produced!
Transcript written on /home/jalt/.cache/gummi/texput.log.



In all, it indicates that it cannot find the file.
PD.
Excuse my English, because I don't speak it (I use an online translator )

Have you ascertained that the file in question is where your system looks for it? You could use your file browser or just the good old ls command for that.

BTW:
/run/media/<usr>/<dev>/
sounds like a Linux-specific mount point for external devices such as USB pendrives or hard disks, perhaps your device is not even mounted.

The file extension .tex.swp looks strange to me, but then I'm not a gummi (rubber) user.

I run the files from their location. That is, I double click on them.

I also ran it with texmaker, and there would be none. I just re-run the latex files with texmaker and it was able to open them. So I tried it with gummi, surprise! opened all of them except the one I'm working on. But texmaker does open it, so I'll have to work with texmaker

I forgot something, try to delete the files from which gummi does not run, and Fedora does not allow them to be deleted, it indicates that they are readable.
