When using "Insert fram rendering", the same error message was shown. It also printed the following in the terminal: RENDER FRAME: latexError(): "Running the application "pdflatex --interaction nonstopmode" failed!"

Seeing as the error message mentions pdflatex, I installed texlive-latex-base to see if that would help. This gives a different error message:

Running the external application failed!

I am not sure where the mentioned transcript is stored, otherwise I would have attached that.

Oh, and the link is not a patch, so I'm removing the tag.
