I am running Linux mint 16. I have installed Texmaker on my machine and everything works fine when I open it through the terminal, i.e. $ texmaker foo.tex; however, when I open the file by double-clicking on the foo.tex file in Nemo and picking display (which opens it in Texmaker), I cannot typeset the file. When I try to do a quick build, pdflatex, etc. it IMMEDIATELY displays the log messages from my last build, sits looking like it's doing something for a few seconds (quick build is greyed out) and then does nothing; it doesn't open the pdf as usual, and if I check it separately, it hasn't written anything. I realise this may be a question more suited to tex stack exchange but to me it seems like it's more of a fundamental linux problem (a problem with my knowledge of it that is) because it just depends on how I open Texmaker.EDITI checked the differences in processes when opened both ways;when opened through the terminal, I get:me 6092 16.6 0.9 497100 55952 pts/3 Sl+ 17:05 0:00 texmaker foo.texWhen opened through Nemo, I get:me 6099 13.2 0.9 644560 55972 ? Sl 17:05 0:00 texmaker /home/me/dir/foo.tex
Texmaker won't compile unless opened through terminal
