10:06 PM
Spawn is a very grassy area, but there are some forests around.
 
@egreg you left the % after +1 ?
 
@DavidCarlisle Oops! Thanks, I pasted the wrong version of the code.
 
@egreg well I realise % at end of lines is a bit tricky for you.
 
10:23 PM
@SeanAllred LOL
@SeanAllred ooh! I just need to find a mouse with 2 buttons now. :)
 
Hi all, I've got a question
I've run into some unexpected troubles using TeXStudio. It's always been working fine, but all of a sudden it's giving me big trouble with images
 
@Danu Hello, welcome to the TeX chatroom! Could you tell us more about the problem? :)
 
It's giving me the "cannot determine size of graphic" error, but the solution posted to a question on this site didn't work
I'm unable to load any pictures, and even a tex file that does nothing but making the picture runs into the same trouble, so I assume I accidentally messed up some settings
 
@Danu Are you trying to include eps images?
 
No, any image
screencap of my settings
(I've tried pdf,eps and jpg, all give the same trouble)
 
10:28 PM
hmmm it's using latex as default engine?
 
in fact with jpg I was able to get it to load a picture by giving natwidth and height, but it was black&white?!
I strongly suspect I messed up my editor settings somehow, possibly when I was switching to biblatex
I do recall changing some build settings back then
 
@Danu: sorry for the silly question, which engine are you running? latex or pdflatex?
Do you have a sample .tex file?
 
\documentclass{article}
\usepackage{graphicx}
\begin{document}
\includegraphics[width=0.4\textwidth]{Danu.pdf}
\end{document}
that's why I think it's my editor, lol
 
@Danu It's indeed a good MWE. :)
 
@Danu Paulo is asking the important questions :) regular ole' latex has problems with some image formats, but pdflatex supports quite a few more formats
 
10:33 PM
@SeanAllred <3
 
@Danu Have you tried running from the command line to isolate your problem to the editor?
 
@SeanAllred Someone over at physics chat is tyring to help me do that
I'm a total computer n00b
 
@Danu We are too, as well. :)
 
The more I learn, the more I don't know.
 
@SeanAllred Me too. :) But in my case, I is stoopid. :)
 
10:37 PM
...no, every previously hard thing just looks trivial in hindsight ;)
 
@Sean: sadly, I won't be able to login in your server tonight. :( Maybe tomorrow. :)
 
@PauloCereda Nooooo your TUG talk provides evidence otherwise :)
@PauloCereda No worries :) Is there anywhere I can put the IP to make it accessible to you folks?
 
@SeanAllred Nah, don't worry. I poke you by email. :)
It's safer. :)
 
@PauloCereda You have my email?
(Which is totally fine XD I just want to make sure)
 
@SeanAllred I think so. :) From the L3 list. :)
 
10:40 PM
@PauloCereda Ahhh yes :)
 
@Sean: can't wait until we write a mod allowing TeX code inserted into those signs. :)
 
@PauloCereda I can. I really can. :)
 
@SeanAllred :)
 
Though a SE chat / minecraft chat bridge wouldn't be too bad
all, @Danu is just having a little trouble with command line quoting -- nothing too crazy :)
 
@PauloCereda @egreg's trying to use arara to grab (not yet awarded) ticks from me. Tell him to stop.

10:48 PM
@DavidCarlisle ooh!
 
@DavidCarlisle And I'm not even a regular TeXShop user! I use it just for printing the certificates for the LaTeX course.
 
Evening once more. Any ideas what I forgot to pack?
 
@tohecz Remember to bring your head with you. ;-)
 
@egreg impossible
:p
 
@tohecz toothbrush!
 
10:56 PM
@PauloCereda it's on the checklist: "TO DO IN THE MORNING" :)
 
@tohecz ooh!
@tohecz: a towel? :)
 
btw, I'm an idiot! I forgot the boarding pass at work! I hope the AF officers won't mind :(
@PauloCereda I've got one as a cushion for the wines and stuff, the rest stays here, I've got plenty in Prague :)
 
do we have a xmatrix requires amsmath question for which this is a dup? Or should i just answer it (or close as something (off topic seems harsh:-) tex.stackexchange.com/questions/216395/…
 
11:17 PM
@tohecz :)
 
@PauloCereda Always have a towel with you!

@PauloCereda but I'm nervous because of the boarding pass now :(
@egreg well, at least always know where is your towel :)
however, I'm a boyscout: any T-shirt makes a good towel ;)
@Paulo Feeling better now. AF webpages clearly state that you can re-print the pass at the airport :)
so, I'll have my last T&J goodnight programme in France this year, and I'm off to bed :)
