Metropolis theme hangs, does not compile #310

Open itsrainingdata opened 6 years ago

itsrainingdata commented 6 years ago

When I try to compile any metropolis-themed slides, pdflatex hangs and does nothing (no errors, warning, output, etc.). If I uncomment \usetheme{metropolis}, everything works fine. Happens for any beamer presentation, including the minimal example in Section 2.3 of the manual.

Works:

\documentclass{beamer}
%\usetheme{metropolis} % Use metropolis theme \title{A minimal example}
\date{\today} \author{Matthias Vogelgesang}
\institute{Centre for Modern Beamer Themes} \begin{document}
\maketitle
\section{First Section} \begin{frame}{First Frame}
Hello, world! \end{frame}
\end{document}

Does not work:

\documentclass{beamer}
\usetheme{metropolis} % Use metropolis theme \title{A minimal example}
\date{\today} \author{Matthias Vogelgesang}
\institute{Centre for Modern Beamer Themes} \begin{document}
\maketitle
\section{First Section} \begin{frame}{First Frame}
Hello, world! \end{frame}
\end{document}

The console output is only (nothing else):

I have the exact same problem as itsrainingdata above.

The only difference is I use a different system:

Looking at what @itsrainingdata posted made to question my setup.

I had installed texlive-mtheme, a now-defunct package that has an old version of the Metropolis beamer theme. I removed that and reinstalled all of TexLive.

Here is what I have now.

Now it works.

I'm still curious why Arch Linux is so far behind with its beamer version...

Switching from TeXLive 2017 to TeXLive 2016 solved the problem for me.

Not a permanent fix, but a useful temporary workaround.

matze commented 6 years ago

I suppose it's an issue with the Mac version of TeXLive 2017. I just tested both xelatex and pdflatex on a Ubuntu 17.10 box and it worked flawlessly.

igcontreras commented 6 years ago

I have the same problem in Mac 10.13.5 with TeXLive 2018. I fixed it by cloning this repo and installing it manually. It worked with xelatex.

jfmc commented 6 years ago

Same problem in Mac 10.11.6 & texlive 2018.

zachwarner commented 6 years ago

Same on macOS 10.13.6 with a fresh install of TeXLive 2018.

I ran into this problem today and found the cause to be an old version of mtheme in my $TEXMFHOME (under user account, not the system-wide one). Removing that old version solved this issue for me.

XVilka commented 5 years ago

So I guess this can be closed now?

itsrainingdata commented 5 years ago

I checked my $TEXMFHOME and I only have one version of mtheme installed, so this is not the problem for me.
