#Latex #Texlive #Ubuntu 11.04 #Ubuntu 13.04

**Update**: This also continues to work on Ubuntu 13.04 Just a quick note to myself really about how to get Latex working the way I want on Ubuntu 11.04 (Texmaker GUI, and some fixes for some errors I was getting). The error that was most troublesome was ‘kpathsea: Running mktexmf ptmr7t! I can’t find file `ptmr7t’.’ This was fixed with the recommended fonts package. I also got an error about an equation style that it didn’t know. This was fixed with the texlive-science package. If you also get an error about `uct12.clo` you need to add the “texlive-publishers” package. See below for all the usual packages you need for ubuntu. ``` sudo apt-get install texlive-latex-base texmaker texlive-fonts-recommended texlive-science texlive-publishers texlive-fonts-extra texlive-math-extra ``` **Update:** I’ve discovered a tex plugin for gedit, which is kind of cool, if you are interested check out this blog post: http://blogs.ethz.ch/ubuntu/2007/06/09/gedit-goes-latex-1-gedit-latexplugin/ **References:** [http://forum.ubuntu-fr.org/viewtopic.php?id=303542](https://web.archive.org/web/20140511065304/http://forum.ubuntu-fr.org/viewtopic.php?id=303542) [http://sysad.wordpress.com/2008/11/06/ubuntu-hardy-to-intrepid-upgrade-remnants/](https://web.archive.org/web/20140511065304/http://sysad.wordpress.com/2008/11/06/ubuntu-hardy-to-intrepid-upgrade-remnants/)

Building SAIR: A Self-Hosted Android Test Runner That Actually Shares Devices

Mar 16, 2026 10:08:00 UTC

I run instrumented Android tests on real hardware for my personal projects — things like BLE, WiFi Direct, hardware-specific APIs that don't work reliably in emulators. Firebase Test Lab works, but at $5/device-hour it adds up fast. Self-hosting seemed obvious: I already had phones sitting on my des...
