[Tex/LaTex] Texmaker pdflatex compile error with libertine font after updating Texlive 2012

libertinepdftextexmaker

After updating the texlive 2012 in Ubuntu 12.04 by

# tlmgr update --all

I found pdflatex (within Texmaker) cannot compile a TeX file with the Libertine font

\usepackage{libertine}                        % libertine
\usepackage[T1]{fontenc}
\usepackage[libertine]{newtxmath}

However, in Terminal the tex file can be compiled by the command

$ pdflatex  thesis.tex

I even uninstalled and reinstalled Texmaker, the problem still persists.

This is actually a path problem.

If you have installed the "vanilla" TeXLive, it is not enough to add the new PATH in your.profile file (or any configuration fill used by your shell like cshrc or .zshrc...) because this configuration file is not used by your graphic environment (gnome, kde, xfce...).

For graphic environment, there is no such file for each user (omission in freedesktop?)!

In Debian/Ubuntu distribution, you can add the new PATH in the /etc/environment file (via sudo). Replace:

PATH="/usr/local/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/bin:/sbin:/bin:/usr/games:/usr/local/games"

by:

PATH="/usr/local/texlive/2012/bin/x86_64-linux:/usr/local/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/bin:/sbin:/bin:/usr/games:/usr/local/games"

(where /usr/local/texlive/2012/bin/x86_64-linux is the TeXLive path on x86_64 architecture. On i386 architecture, choose /usr/local/texlive/2012/bin/i386-linux.)

[Tex/LaTex] Conflict between color, graphicx and libertine

These option clashes happen when a package is requested to be loaded on two different positions, like by you and inside another package, but with different options. The package is loaded by the first \usepackage (or its twin \RequirePackage); it isn't loaded again when it is requested again. It simply can't be loaded a second time. Therefore the new options can be activated and previous options might conflict with the second usage. So LaTeX creates an error to report this issue to you.

The way to fix this is to declare the options beforehand using \PassOptionsToPackage{<options>}{<package>}. Then they are used wherever the package is loaded.

\documentclass{article}
\usepackage{ifpdf}
\ifpdf
    \PassOptionsToPackage{pdftex,usenames,dvipsnames}{color}
    \usepackage[T1]{fontenc}
    \usepackage{libertine} % most likely loads 'color' itself
    %\usepackage{lmodern} % doesn't load 'color'
    \usepackage{color}
    \usepackage[pdftex]{graphicx}
\else
    %\bye
\fi
\begin{document}
Hello, world!
\end{document}

I can't test it by myself, because I don't have the libertine package installed.

PS:

I don't think you need to set pdftex manually. Normally packages do a good job recognizing the driver by themselves. Also you might want to use the extended xcolor package instead of color.

[Tex/LaTex] Texmaker generated pdf file not showing the position of cursor

Synchronization between source TeX files and the resulting dvi or pdf file is done with synctex support. You must add the -synctex=1 option to the pdflatex command to enable synctex and thereby generating fileName.synctex.gz file which stores the linkages between source and pdf. synctex does not like special characters, follow best practices for file names.
