Bug Description

Binary package hint: mediawiki1.7-math

after installation, inserting formulae didn't work, it is not enabled, which seems odd to me (if I install mediawiki1.7-math, it's to have formulae "directly").
According to http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Manual:Running_MediaWiki_on_Debian_GNU/Linux#TeX_Support
I changed "false" to "true" in the file /usr/share/mediawiki/LocalSettings.php
for line 139 ($wgUseTex = true;) and now, it works

Version: 1.7.1-9

I forgot to say that it isn't commented in the /usr/share/doc/mediawiki1.7-math/README file. It must at least be documented there i think.

Is this symptom still reproducible in 8.10 beta or later?

I just ran into the same problem with the mediawiki-math package (version 1:1.11.2-2) in 8.04. It would be nice if it were automatic, or at least to have it documented. I can't check with 8.10 beta, unfortunately.

Thank you for taking the time to report this bug and helping to make Ubuntu better. We are sorry that we do not always have the capacity to look at all reported bugs in a timely manner.
There have been many changes in Ubuntu since that time you reported the bug and your problem may have been fixed with some of the updates. It would help us a lot if you could test the current Ubuntu version (10.10). If you can test it, and it is still an issue, we would appreciate if you could upload updated logs by running apport-collect <bug #>, and any other logs that are relevant for this particular issue.
