Problems with texlive

Starfish - over 3 years ago -

Hello, I'm having problems with texlive.

During installation, I get this following warnings.

$ sudo pacman -S texlive-most texlive-core

You can disable non-existent map entries using the option

#+END_SRC

I couldn't find any mention of this "fmtutil [WARNING]:" neither in
Parabola wiki nor in the Arch wiki. Though I find mention mktexlsr in 
the Parabola forums.

"/usr/share/libalpm/scripts/mktexlsr: line 3: /usr/bin/mktexlsr:
No such file or directory" 

Anyways when I run:

$ pdflatex test.tex

I get:

#+BEGIN_SRC shell
This is pdfTeX, Version 3.14159265-2.6-1.40.21 (TeX Live 2020/Parabola GNU/Linux-libre) (preloaded format=pdflatex)
 restricted \write18 enabled.

kpathsea: Running mktexfmt pdflatex.fmt
mktexfmt: mktexfmt is using the following fmtutil.cnf files (in precedence order):
mktexfmt: mktexfmt is using the following fmtutil.cnf file for writing changes:
mktexfmt:   /home/starfish/.texlive/texmf-config/web2c/fmtutil.cnf
mktexfmt [INFO]: writing formats under /home/starfish/.texlive/texmf-var/web2c
mktexfmt [INFO]: did not find entry for byfmt=pdflatex, skipped
mktexfmt [INFO]: Total formats: 0
mktexfmt [INFO]: exiting with status 0
I can't find the format file `pdflatex.fmt'!

Previously I have used latex in Trisquel, where installation is quite
straight forward.

So, How to can I solve this problem?

PS: Forum's inbuilt source wrapper wasn't working.

i dont know how you entered that text; but the buttons for

"pre-formatted text" 

and ("highlighted code")

are both working fine for me
