comment Installing TeXlive on Ubuntu, revisited
@MartinSchröder: Interesting. I have found this blog post: jaegerandi.blogspot.ch/2012/05/…. How often are these packages updated, how large is the lag behind "vanilla" TeXlive?

comment Installing TeXlive on Ubuntu, revisited
Something else: Are you aware of cran2deb? The R folks do have a similar problem, and this project aims at providing a 1:1 translation from R packages to Debian packages. Would this be a feasible route for TeXlive?

comment Installing TeXlive on Ubuntu, revisited
Thanks for taking your time to comment on this. I do believe that it is a lot of work to create, maintain, and upgrade Debian packages for TeXlive. To me it sounds like a full-time job, especially if one wanted to ensure up-to-dateness -- unless the process of including a new package is highly automated, and even then... In this case, I'll try an automated solution of tug.org/texlive/quickinstall.html and a cron job that pulls upgrades on a regular basis. -- Would it be possible for you to add error code support to tlmgr?

@dustin: Do you have a link? I can't seem to find it. I'm aware of tug.org/texlive/quickinstall.html, this question is about automating the process described there.

comment TeXstudio and viewing multiple pdf files
My TeXstudio shows the preview as a separate window. Isn't it possible to align the windows side by side? On what platform are you, which version of TeXstudio are you using?

Your code compiles with pdflatex, though. Please see tex.stackexchange.com/questions/2984/…

@texenthusiast: In my case, it just stops working completely. It doesn't matter how I name the file.
