Cannot use LaTeX

[laolux]

This flatpaked version of Anki cannot create cards using LaTeX.

For example create a card with a field containing [$]x=0[/$]

will result in an error message

Error executing latex.

Have you installed latex and dvipng/dvisvgm?

Importing decks where the LaTeX notes are already processed to images does work.

So, does anyone have an idea of how to enable LaTeX in this flatpak? Thanks for your help!

@ingemarberg / @dsd I'm using Manjaro as base system with GNOME and having the exact same issue. latex is working from the command line as well as other latex programs are working. I also made sure to install org.freedesktop.Sdk.Extension.texlive but unfortunately the issue still persists. Did I miss something?

@MarviMcFly Have you made sure to install the most recent version of org.freedesktop.Sdk.Extension.texlive, i.e., flatpak install org.freedesktop.Sdk.Extension.texlive//21.08? If you were to use any older version, for example the 20.08 version that was used for a while, you would get this error.

@ingemarberg Thanks for the quick reply! A bit embarrassing for me, I installed 20.08 while I did not read the output properly and overlooked the 21.08. Once the 21.08 was installed everything worked again! Thank you so much!

manjaro@manjaro:~$ flatpak install org.freedesktop.Sdk.Extension.texlive
