Dear list members, I'm a new user of conTeXt and was interested in the simpleslides module. It looks great and partially works but most graphical stuffs don't work : I've only the text using Mark IV, and get some of the graphical effects with Mark II (but not all) (I've attached pdf output and logs). I use a freshly installed ubuntu 9.04 I've installed the module (in my ~/texmf). I've added in /etc/environment the variable TEXMFCNF=/usr/share/texmf/web2c in order for luatools and MarkIV to work. cf http://wiki.contextgarden.net/Debian_installation#Postscript:_Mark_IV (the exemple file works) versions : $ texexec --lua -v TeXExec | version 6.2.0 - 1997-2006 - PRAGMA ADE/POD $ luatools -v LuaTools | version 1.2.0 - 2006+ - PRAGMA ADE / CONTEXT $ luatex -v This is LuaTeX, Version snapshot-0.28.0-2009041620 I hope that you have some hints on what I might have wrong, In mark IV, it looks like I have a version problem for metafun, but I'm not sure and don't now how to get the version number. Best regards Amaël Broustet

It seems you are using the texlive install from ubuntu. Normally, I would advise installing the minimals (see http://wiki.contextgarden.net/ConTeXt_Minimals ), but the ConTeXt beta is a bit unstable these days. I have run your essai.tex here and get proper output both in mkii and mkiv.

Yes, your logs indicate that the module and its submodules are found, so the installation is correct.

In order to get the version number, simply look at the log files. It says in the first few lines: ConTeXt ver: 2008.05.21 15:21 MKII fmt: 2009.4.29 int: english/ english and ConTeXt ver: 2008.05.21 15:21 MKIV fmt: 2009.5.5 int: english/english So your ConTeXt version is almost a year old. For mkiv, which is moving very fast, this means the stone age, and I don't think anybody will be able or willing to help you with such an old version. The problem in the mkiv log is that your metafun version is not able to process the background (after l. 80), that's why you don't get any graphics. In mkii, I don't see anything obvious in the log. But as I wrote: your example compiles fine here on the latest version ConTeXt ver: 2009.05.06 16:26 MKII fmt: 2009.5.7 int: english/english so you should try and install the minimals. It's no problem having them in addition to your system TeX installation, they shouldn't interfere. Thomas

Hmm, I get proper output with the test document you sent, and I'm using the same version you are. Just to be safe, could you run these commands 1. rm ~/context/tex/texmf-cache/luatex-cache/* 2. luatools --generate 3. context --make 4. then rm all essai.tu* files and process essai.tex again with mkiv: 5. context essai Sorry you're having so much trouble, as you may have seen, mkiv is having a particularly busy time right now; things will probably calm down during the next days.

Simpleslides comes with a test script. Try the following mkdir styles mtxrun --script simpleslides --styles=BigNumber --engine=context This will create BigNumber-blue.pdf and BigNumber-red.pdf in the styles directory. Are these files correct? Aditya
