@JosephWright oh yes you said that on the previous comment:-) I tried initially to get it running on cygwin (for latex-project.org) but failed at the time, which was one reason i was keen for it to be pure gh-pages this time
I'm writing a degree project oponent's report for a student. Funnily enough, I wrote a report for this student's first project 2 years ago and I was in Paris. Guess where I am now :)
@Danu if I run it on a random tex file not using biblatex for example the commandline looks like:
$ biber aa607
INFO - This is Biber 2.11
INFO - Logfile is 'aa607.blg'
ERROR - Cannot find control file 'aa607.bcf'! - Did latex run successfully on your .tex file before you ran biber?
INFO - ERRORS: 1
I think I should have install rights---I'll try it out
Now when I run pdflatex -> biber -> pdflatex
the second run of pdflatex ends in the command line spitting out a "?"
This is the output from biber:
> INFO - This is Biber 1.8 INFO - Logfile is 'wat.blg' INFO - Reading 'wat.bcf' INFO - Found 1 citekeys in bib section 0 INFO - Processing section 0 INFO - Looking for bibtex format file 'kraan.bib' for section 0 INFO - Found BibTeX data source 'kraan.bib' INFO - Overriding locale 'en_US.UTF-8' default tailoring 'variable = shifted' with 'variable = non-ignorable' INFO - Sorting 'entry' list 'nty' keys INFO - No sort tailoring available for locale 'en_US.UTF-8' INFO - Writing 'wat.bbl' with encoding 'ascii'
I think all those weird messages at the end are coming from a formatting problem in the thing I'm referencing
But if I just compile, run bibliography and compile again, I do get a bibliography now!! :D
So I think the worst is over
It just isn't managing to deal with accented characters in the title/author names of the paper I'm referencing
(essentially I'm trying to use this computer as my home computer, and running into all kinds of trouble trying to use my files the way I use them at home)

@UlrikeFischer I tried using the commands given here in the command line but to no avail. I got the message "cannot setup TLPDB in /afs/math.uni-hamburg.de/users/ad/bav8095/texmf at /usr/bin/tlmgr line 5336."
@Danu You can't update such a system. To get a newer one you would have to install a new texlive 2018. I can't say if your problem is due to the old system or if your document contains an error as you didn't show the document. But such an old system is bound to give problems.
I guess I'll write to the IT department, asking if I could get updates on the software... I'm decently sure there are no problems in my document (I used the MWE that I linked previously).

@Danu yes of course you can't "update" texlive 2013 you need to install texlive 2018 (either using the debian apt package system or get the upstream texlive from tug or ...)
@Danu but probably the debian on the system is of a similar age?
@HenriMenke -- ah, so it is. before the issue paging, it was all on the same page. articles with odd numbers of columns are hard to deal with, hence the reorganization. (we've had complaints about blank columns, so we splice to avoid those. this was much easier to handle with the plain tex document style.) i'll mention it to karl.
@PauloCereda I am looking forward to using arara on my thesis, already did some tests and seems to be very very useful. Specially because I will probably have a list of symbols, abbreviations, and of course biber etc.
@PauloCereda hmmm, that doesnt sound too appealing since I haven't faced any bug problems, lol. But I guess it's always good to give it a final polish.

Wuh that took 0.49 seconds but if thass a slight longer than you
expected, dunt yew go mobbing me abowt it cors that ent my fault.
Wuh que levou 0,49 segundos, mas se isso for um pouco mais longo do que você Espero que o idiota vá me assombrar, isso corra por minha culpa. Meu dono de casa não tem nenhuma dessas pérolas. Ele teve que usar uma caneta e um pouco de peruca, mas isso é bom. Orvalho você mantém um troshin '!
Dear Dr. Cereda,
Last month, you were invited to take part in a study which aims to visualize the future of the world of research and research communication. If you have not yet had a chance to complete the survey there is still time to do so - please be aware this is the final reminder regarding this study, and you will not receive any further requests to take part.
@DavidCarlisle THE FUTURE OF THE WORLD OF RESEARCH ^^
@PauloCereda I will sit in a committee on May 31. Perhaps I should ask the guy how he visualizes the future of the world of research and research communication.
@AlanMunn no, I'm not. I was doing a Google search for example of Bärnighausen trees in LaTeX and stumbled upon the package
@AlanMunn currently reading the documentation. the OP shouldn't have too much trouble with it either, as he's from Germany as well. but the images he requires can't be done with the package alone. so I reckon it's a mix between gu and tikz
@PauloCereda hint: if you have an automated build script that says print('upload disabled while testing} it's best to actually disable the upload or the user may believe the message and run the script several times:-) (you didn't write the script but that doesn't seem a good reason not to blame you)
@JosephWright seem to be busy finding bugs in latex anyway:-)
@JosephWright I updated the carlisle bundle (with a new remreset package that does nothing) using the Lua bindings to curl, be interesting to see if it gets past Petra...
@egreg I had forgotten to use a roman X so I lost time experimenting with getting the over bar in an acceptable place (picking up the fontdimen was clearly needed:-)
