I’m trying to install texlive-full with pamac but I keep getting blocked by this error.
rsync error: some files/attrs were not transferred (see previous errors) (code 23) at main.c(1861) [generator=3.2.7]
==> ERROR: An error occurred in prepare().
I can’t compile a latex document without the full Texlive distribution because I get an error message saying latexindent to unknown PATH. I didn’t get this error previously on Debian because I had Latex-full installed via the apt repository which didn’t rule out any dependency problems. If anyone has a solution, I’m interested.
I have also installed it. Maybe I should add it manually to PATH. But I don’t know if when I execute the .TEX file in vscodium, it uses bash ZSH or fish that I installed.
I write all my Latex documents in VScodium with the Latex Workshop extension. The autocompletions are more advanced and I have many other features like snippets that I don’t have on online editors like Overleaf. Before migrating to Manjaro, with Debian and the latex-full package I could easily compile my documents in the IDE for PDF rendering. But now when I compile I get this.
Here’s what the console output looks like:

You’re right, I installed vscode from the official repositories and now the document is compiling. But I now have a bunch of other errors, notably related to libraries that I import as content headers but that are not recognized, such as babel-french or sinuitx. These blbliotheques are quite common and yet they’re obviously not included in texlive-basic. I’ve installed all latex-related packages except texlive-full, which is done via AUR. I think this brings us back to the original problem. Do I have to restart the installation to retrieve all the error messages or can I retrieve them directly from a log file?
If you are going to use Tex Live with multiple libraries and for serious work, then install the native one instead of Arch packaged Tex Live.
With native Tex Live you need 7GB of free space, and you will have access to full docs (using texdoc) which is not possible via Arch packaged Tex Live, plus you can upgrade your installed libraries via tlmgr tool, but each year when a new version of Tex Live is released you need to reinstall the whole thing.
In fact, there are far more directories available via the terminal than via the pamac GUI. So I selected them all to make sure that all the necessary packages were included. But then again, when I compile, I always get compilation errors, especially when it comes to French language support. As indicated, I uninstalled texlive from Arch media and compiled the complete distribution following the documentation. I followed the procedure to update PATH.
After compiling. I still can’t compile to PDF without errors.

this is just for this one terminal session (if I’m not mistaken)
To be permanent, this has to be written into ~/.profile or the zsh or fish equivalent.
The only way I know off the top of my head to check for the actual value of $PATH is: printenv | grep ^PATH
but I don’t know whether that is specific to bash shell -
it’s the only shell I know anything about …
I’ve checked the .zshrc file and it looks like it’s been added. I uninstalled fish to be sure that VScode would use zsh to compile the code. It seems incomprehensible, the full distribution is obviously installed but I can’t call it. Is there another way of checking whether texlive has been added to the path without consulting .zshrc?
# Use powerline
USE_POWERLINE="true"
# Has weird character width
# Example:
# is not a diamond
HAS_WIDECHARS="false"
# Source manjaro-zsh-configuration
if [[ -e /usr/share/zsh/manjaro-zsh-config ]]; then
source /usr/share/zsh/manjaro-zsh-config
fi
# Use manjaro zsh prompt
if [[ -e /usr/share/zsh/manjaro-zsh-prompt ]]; then
source /usr/share/zsh/manjaro-zsh-prompt
fi
export PATH=/usr/local/texlive/2024/bin/x86_64-linux:$PATH
Will uninstalling one just revert to the other? Don’t know … chsh might be needed
echo $SHELL
and
I don’t use zsh - I’m not sure whether that entry in ~/.zshrc is the proper way to extend the $PATH
For bash I do it in ~/.profile
or system wide in /etc/profile
Even in (unaltered) Plasma/KDE, the default system wide shell is still bash, I think.
Just the default Konsole profile is using zsh.
I have no idea how you are doing what you are doing (compiling tex from within another program, I guess).
Or how you are sure that this program also uses zsh.
Perhaps it is using the shell that is set system wide? I just don’t know.
That is likely not the case if you start it from terminal - which isn’t likely.
But I don’t know the program - I do not/can not program.
And I’m sceptical that how you set your $PATH is the proper way to do it.
… but that might be just for the terminal session - while vscodium might be using the system wide shell, which likely is still bash
The PATH that you set (or think you have set) is clearly not available to the program, as can be seen from the error messages.
I changed my shell to bash again to be sure that VScode was using the right shell to compile my project. I don’t really know how to do this, so I’ll put what I’ve added at the end of .bashrc.

And you clearly altered something else in that file, further up, probably unintentional.
Those errors are not normal.
Revert what you did.
(those numbers 65, 106, 108, 113 are line numbers in that file - they give you a clue where the error(s) originate)
this is how I add to my PATH - in ~/.profile
# set PATH so it includes user's private local/bin if it exists
if [ -d "$HOME/.local/bin" ] ; then
PATH="$HOME/.local/bin:$PATH"
I think it would be best to restore the original files
.bash_profile, .bashrc, .profile and .zshrc
from /etc/skel, so that they are “known good”.
Then start over.
