MiKTeX error on ubuntu about miktex

[edocevoli]

Thank you. Please attach the log files. Should be here:

~/.miktex/data/miktex/log/

And it would be nice if you provide a minimal test case.

I am sorry but I am quite new to ubuntu.

I am currently in the /usr directory. ls outputs the following:

• bin
• games
• include
• lib
• libexec
• local
• sbin
• share
• src

Thank you. So it seems that you cannot provide more information? Too bad...

Let's try again. Enter this command:

tar -cvzf logfiles.tar.gz ~/.miktex/texmfs/data/miktex/log/*

Then attach logfiles.tar.gz to this ticket. Thank you!

logfiles.tar.gz

Thank you. So it seems that everything is alright (no error messages in the log files). Since you provided no minimal test case, I cannot work on this issue effectively and I will close this ticket. If you have more info available: you can add comments and attach files.

## R Markdown

This is an R Markdown document. Markdown is a simple formatting syntax for authoring HTML, PDF, and MS Word documents. 

Problem
The function runs perfectly until it reaches the last part system("pandoc.." Here I receive an error message:

Sorry, but pdflatex did not succeed.

You may want to visit the MiKTeX project page, if you need help.
terminate called after throwing an instance of 'MiKTeX::Core::MiKTeXException'
  what():  MiKTeX encountered an internal error.

pandoc: Error producing PDF

Is this sufficient?

No, this does not help me to reproduce the issue. Quoting this site:

"The aim of the exercise is to enable them to reproduce the problem. You want the programmer to run their own copy of the program, do the same things to it, and make it fail in the same way. When they can see the problem happening in front of their eyes, then they can deal with it.

So tell them exactly what you did. If it's a graphical program, tell them which buttons you pressed and what order you pressed them in. If it's a program you run by typing a command, show them precisely what command you typed. Wherever possible, you should provide a verbatim transcript of the session, showing what commands you typed and what the computer output in response.

Give the programmer all the input you can think of. If the program reads from a file, you will probably need to send a copy of the file. If the program talks to another computer over a network, you probably can't send a copy of that computer, but you can at least say what kind of computer it is, and (if you can) what software is running on it."
