@DavidCarlisle All of that, right before it gets closed for being "too localized". But you're a good sport anyhow :)

@DavidCarlisle I was restarting page numbers each \part - so I stepped the page on each \part - but used \refstepcounter instead for some reason. Anyway, fixed problem now. Thanks!

cslstr

Jan 26, 2015 21:07

@DavidCarlisle Indeed :)

I've incremented my page numbers artificially, but I think I used \refstepcounter instead of just \stepcounter

cslstr

Jan 26, 2015 21:06

@DavidCarlisle Oh ... I think that explains it hten

@yo' I'm using varioref ... that's the only thing I can think added something along those lines.

cslstr

Jan 26, 2015 21:01

@yo' I am sort of using parts without chapters and trying to label the part ... \ref then fails with that error.

cslstr

Jan 26, 2015 21:01

@yo' yeah... that's why I'm asking here first .. example is far from minimal at this point.

I just came across the error "undefined control seq \p@page" ... never seen that one before and can't find it in the source code anywhere. What is \p@page supposed to be?

It seems like everything else in the TeX world is case sensitive, so I was surprised to discover a citation that worked, but seemed like it shouldn't (because of change in case)

Thoughts on why bibtex entry keys are not case sensitive?

You learn something new everyday... or so they say.

@DavidCarlisle I did, thought you might not notice :) My solution ended up being closer to his formulation... But I suppose yours might truly have been "most helpful", which is technically the definition to go by... #EthicalDilemma

@DavidCarlisle The \nointerlineskip was the key that I was missing. Without it, just a regular \rule{}{} does exactly what I thought it would...

@DavidCarlisle I understand \vbox is tex, not latex; it seemed more appropriate in this instance... I will have to look at what \headheight is set to in this case.

cslstr

Jun 24, 2014 14:29

@DavidCarlisle Your point is valid (of course); I'll make it a new question.

cslstr

Jun 24, 2014 14:10

@DavidCarlisle Do you have any thoughts about the \vbox question I pose in my edit to tex.stackexchange.com/questions/186350 ?

cslstr

Jun 2, 2014 15:52

@DavidCarlisle I will also check out shapepar, I don't think I've seen that one.

@NicolaTalbot This might have been the one I was thinking of: tex.stackexchange.com/questions/148883/…

cslstr

Jun 2, 2014 15:49

I think it was a parshape question...

I am hunting for a post that describes typesetting text with its margin following along a curve/path, but I'm having trouble getting keywords that will bring it up. I know I've seen something along those lines...

Q: page break in the middle of a \cite

With pdflatex all my citation are pdf hyperlinks to the respective entry in the bibliography. This causes a problem when occasionally Latex decides to do a page break in the middle of a citation so that the citation starts on page n and and ends on page n+1. The problem then is that the footer of...

What to do with items that are "can't fix"? Such as:

so i suppose that is the work that debmirror is doing, to make sure that if you are syncing just a specific release, earlier support packages are also pulled in?

cslstr

Jun 27, 2014 21:37

i see.

but if it just downloads the same "unified" packages multiple times to put it once in /dist/precise and once in /dist/trusty ....

cslstr

Jun 27, 2014 21:29

if that is the case, then I don't even really save much time by restricting the release.

cslstr

Jun 27, 2014 21:28

(these are the types of things I'm not really sure of)

cslstr

Jun 27, 2014 21:28

does the rsync use links to avoid downloading multiple times?

cslstr

Jun 27, 2014 21:24

right -- but for time and space sake, I'm trying to avoid mirroring the whole thing.

cslstr

Jun 27, 2014 21:21

looks like lucid-updates was about 5GB

cslstr

Jun 27, 2014 21:21

I just want to find a way to limit the rsync to the portions that I need and make sure that it won't interfere with the way ubuntu will refer to the mirror

cslstr

Jun 27, 2014 21:20

The mirroring process is not the issue, really.

cslstr

Jun 27, 2014 21:19

Also true; I plan on having to bring in some additional things, but would like to have as many of the core packages already there.

cslstr

Jun 27, 2014 21:19

That's a valid point; I have found references that "the Ubuntu Archive takes up about 680 GB of space." (help.ubuntu.com/community/Rsyncmirror) Not sure if that includes all of the available releases.

The box I am doing the download from is a Synology NAS. I don't have specific packages to install, but rather want to have the whole universe available for many machines on the isolated network
