@PaulGessler Indeed. I don't know what the looking-for-koma has to do with writing packages. Or why that is being done as root.... I suspect the nightmare will end up involving system breakage (not just TeX) because running random stuff as root tends to end up that way....
@cfr in looking at the string of questions, it seems he is trying to make some sort of self-contained distribution. But yes, I think it will end badly. Anyway, as an aside: I knew I had seen your username before, and now based on recent chat discussions I realized it was probably from the Arch Linux forums! :-) I've not been on there in quite some time, though.
@PaulGessler I tend to end up there now when things go wrong. As now. I like Arch. Except their KDE transition sucks horribly. My system is a real mess. And rather unstable. Do you still use Arch?
@cfr my desktop has Arch, but I have no space for it in our new apartment, so that's been boxed up at my office for months now. I also have a spare SSD with an installation that I run in my personal laptop once in a while, but I've not had time to play with that lately. My systems right now are running Win7 (work laptop) and Win8.1 (personal laptop).
I really like Arch, but because I am a tinkerer I end up spending lots of time just trying out different things. Of course that becomes dangerous when I have many more important things to do. :-)
@FaheemMitha -- victor is dutch, got his phd in the netherlands (though i've forgotten where), and i first started corresponding with him after "meeting" him through the tex-nl list (hosted by ntg). as far as i know, he delved into the texbook and the tex program on his own. he developed lollipop to typeset his dissertation (and the original tex by topic was set using lollipop, not latex). i read tex by topic and commented before publication; i have nothing but good words for it.
@FaheemMitha -- victor is more than busy with his current position, and isn't actively involved in teaching tex or writing packages, although he still uses it. if something comes up that he knows better than anyone else, i've been known to poke him to do something about it if he has time.
@DavidCarlisle -- i've been looking this brokenpenalty for two sided documents and wondering whether it would be feasible to set/reset \brokenpenalty in the output routine, depending on odd or even page number. ???
I am using the Jacobs Landscape beamer poster template, and want to simply add a little phantom space at the beginning of a line within a block, but whatever I have inside the {} prints. The block is in a nested column, but the text is not within an example or any other unusual formatting. What c...
In beamer, to center justify the frame-title, one uses this:
\setbeamertemplate{frametitle}[default][center]
This is what i have as default:

What to do if a question is answered by the answers to another question, but that question was closed as a duplicate of a third question which does not answer the original question?
Is there any way to modify or remove the italic correction in all math environments globally? I don't like the uneven spacing it causes when there are multiple variables multiplied together or multiple points in the same polygon, but I don't want to keep having to use "\mathit". I've looked at a ...
I use the new Latex beamer theme 'mtheme' by Matthias Vogelgesang (see http://bloerg.net/2014/09/20/a-modern-beamer-theme.html).
As some section titles are a little longer I tried to break the titles via \newline but this seems to be impossible.
Does anyone see a way to break the section titles...
I have tried the listings package, but the question is that I can not type math equation in it. (The line number on the left start from the first line, i.e. type val is also OK for me.)
@PaulGessler -- i think you've done almost the right thing in your comment. the only change i would suggest is to link to the answer in the cited question that does give the correct information; you've explained that it's an answer that contains what the commented question is looking for, not the linked "duplicates".
I am looking for a similar solution as here Description list with aligned descriptions
except that I want to use it with beamer. If I use enumitem with beamer, inner theme is replaced by enumitem. I do not want to use enumitem because of this problem. Is there any alternative package or solution...
And that's all for tonight. Since I cannot attend the "Answer the unanswered" official sessions (they always take place when I'm with my family): I decided to have my own private sessions at night (so I disturb as less as possible). Hope that's OK. If so, I'll continue with this private sessions whenever I can.
I have no idea what a for-loop could do here, you are thinking too complicated.
I still think, this question is a duplicate to @egreg's answer.

Could I just say, Christian, for one moment that she has a new theory about the brontosaurus? Yes my word you may well ask what it is, this theory of hers.

@ChristianHupfer John Cleese is a genius. :) I watched an interview of him and he said that, for this reunion, he wanted to try this sketch live, which had never been done before. :)
@ChristianHupfer Perfectly fine for me. Would you rather have blah blah blah blah repeated 10 times? <- This is the lazy as duck approach. If there is some nice to read rubbish, it is fine for me.
@ChristianHupfer Of course, if arsclassica wants to prevent people from having too long titles, it's fine for me. But a LaTeX package should give people the chance to make better output, not force them.
@ChristianHupfer Nothhing really to do with titlesec anymore, but yes, i hate it as well.

@Arturo longtable is part of the required latex distribution anyone who has latex has it, but even if you want to distribute it why distribute a modified copy?
@Arturo The only way this site works, is that we all use the same files from the same location.
@Arturo Code changes, documentation changes. It is rather impossible to keep track of that. There are a few doc-translations on ctan, but i think non of them is up-to-date anymore.
The needed packages so far that aren't in my minimal installation en.wikibooks.org/wiki/LaTeX/Installation#Installing_LaTeX are longtable, iftex, metalogo and a few more but I intend to translate only the part that I need to understand how to translate the book.
@Arturo in anycase the most important version of the wikibook is the wiki/html version, you should only worry about the latex/pdf generation at the end if at all.
@Arturo longtable is in your minimal installation, it is a requirement of the latex distribution licence that it is. But even if it was not, why are you editing it?
@Arturo while I'm sympathetic to the aim of translating things I fear it will cause more problems down the line if you publish it in a form that looks like it is the package documentation. It always gets out of sync with package updates. Just write a new document in whatever language that is a "guide to latex packages" and translate or paraphrase the text as required..
@Arturo please don't put a copy of longtable (or any other package) on ctan. Translated documentation yes but not copies of packages.
@Arturo Just reference the originals, don't copy them, if you provide duplicated versions of standard packages then people have to manage their TEXINPUTS by hand to pick up the right ones, and it will cause maintenance queries for everyone.
@DavidCarlisle could you make an answer telling what is here? It is better not to provide copies of the packages so people doesn't have to change the TEXINPUTS, better to do a guide of the packages translating or paraphrasing the text than changing the .dtx file and all that. Just for reference.
It looks like a bug in polyglossia It makes \sffamily fragile.
It works if you change your test file to look like:
\usepackage{polyglossia}
\typeout{\meaning\sffamily}
\protected\edef\sffamily{\expandafter\unexpanded\expandafter{\sffamily}}
\typeout{\meaning\sffamily}
% This robustifies the redefinitions of \<xx>family (suggestion by Enrico Gregorio)

\csgappto{rmfamily }{\def\familytype{rm}}
\csgappto{sffamily }{\def\familytype{sf}}
\csgappto{ttfamily }{\def\familytype{tt}}
\show\sffamily
@egreg guess what declaration you find further up the file:-)
@egreg, @DavidCarlisle: tex.stackexchange.com/questions/228195/…. A bug of endfloat or just a clever broad hint not to wrap \table...\endtable into a command? ;-)

Not everybody, You have more than just the name in common with the author of pgfplots
@ChristianHupfer On that list is one name that does not have a github account, as you said you don't have one, you have more than just the name in common.
@egreg ah yes, I noticed ~ in messages but missed the L3 tests.
@Maïeul when I started collecting longtable comments last year I found some that hadn't been answered since last century, so I wouldn't worry too much if you haven't had a reply since May...
@Lembik that's probably the answer then, as in no notation is going to be commonly enough known that you can avoid defining it, so you may as well make up your own and define it:-0
@DavidCarlisle indeed, I don't understand why needed of hbox for paragraphed notes but Knuth provided this solution, and I tried without and it can't work
@Maïeul oh flip you want to have all the footnotes run into a single paragraph and allow the footnote to be split over a page at the same time mid-footnote?
@Maïeul best quote from the texbook:
|Don't use footnotes in your books, Don.|
|\author JILL KNUTH (1962)|
@Maïeul yep too hard to solve in my head in chat, would make a good question on site if you have a test document, or have you already posted a question?
@Maïeul you could probably put dummy text in the insert just so tex allocates space on the page and maintain a global box in which you globally build your footnote paragraph, adding each footnote to the para as you go along, then in the output routine see how much space tex left for footnotes and vsplit that much off your global box. perhaps....
@Maïeul when you go \insert\footins{very very long stuff} the text is hidden away in texs internals and not really reachable, only on the output routine you can look at \ht\footins which gives you the height of the footins material for this page (which may not be all of it if the footnote was split)
oh, just for jokes, I have an "answer" to Knuth by a great french historian
"Le jour où, ayant pris soin d’abord de ne pas la rebuter par un oiseux pédantisme, nous aurons réussi à la persuader de mesurer la valeur d’une connaissance sur son empressement à tendre le cou d’avance à la réfutation, les forces de la raison remporteront une de leurs plus éclatantes victoires. C’est à la préparer que travaillent nos humbles notes, nos petites références tatillonnes que moquent aujourd’hui, sans les comprendre, tant de beaux esprits."
@Maïeul That would need some work inside the output routine I think, you'd have to detect from \outputpenalty that it was a forced page and then in that case not empty \footins so it was re-considered at the next page break
