Process exited with error(s)
Can anybody help i am tired of this and want to solve this so that i can apply it to my thesis. im using TexMaker.

I have verified that the root was to remove the compiler option to create the LATEX files in the build folder, my computer could not find the .bcf file being in this folder. But once I unchecked the box and the files were in the same folder as the .tex files, it was solved.
On the other hand, the code \addbibresource{ref} must appear like \addbibresource{ref.bib}.
In the compiler configuration, I have written the path of biber.exe: "C:/Users/juanf/Documents/Programas/LATEX/miktex/bin/x64/biber" %.bcf
(You must put the path that appears in the properties of your biber.exe)
I hope it helps you or other people with the same problem!

Citation undefined on input even though they exist

Hi I'm using Overleaf for my dissertation and this warning started popping up recently:
Citation 'objprogen' on page 1 undefined on input line 8.
This citation is already created as seen below in the 'sources.bib' file:
#article{objprogen,
author={Guo, Wenzhong and Lin, Renjie and Wang, Shiping and Xiong, Neal},
booktitle={2018 9th International Symposium on Parallel Architectures, Algorithms and
Programming (PAAP)},

pages={235-242},

This is my main.tex file:
\documentclass[a4paper]{article}
\usepackage{blindtext, graphicx}
\usepackage{csquotes}
\usepackage[hidelinks]{hyperref}
\usepackage{url}
\usepackage[style=authoryear-ibid,backend=biber]{biblatex}

I had the same problem and solved it by adding \bibliographystyle{plain} (of course you could in principle use other styles). For me the structure of the tex file is the following
\documentclass[oneside, a4paper, onecolumn, 11pt]{article}
%%some packages%%
\begin{document}
%%% some stuff
\bibliographystyle{plain}
\bibliography{bibfile} %bibfile name without the .bib extension
\end{document}
So contrary to you the \bibliography is also inside the document environment.

Citation not getting displayed - instead the alias is getting displayed in the pdf

I am trying to use \cite to cite items from bibliography.bib. However, my citations are not working properly.
The environment, code and output are as below:

\addbibresource{bibfile.bib}
\begin{document}
This is a \cite{sample}.
\end{document}
The cite takes reference from my .bib file, which is in the same folder. Here I have attached a sample citation.
#article{sample,
title={What is the price elasticity of housing demand?},
author={Hanushek, Eric A and Quigley, John M},
journal={The Review of Economics and Statistics},
pages={449--454},
year={1980},
publisher={JSTOR}
}
The output that I am getting looks like
Author Year with year linking to the bibliography section. However, I want it like Author, Year with the entire phrase linking to the bibliography section
Could you please help me with this issue?
Thank You :)
P.S. : I know my environment is not perfect. It has some packages repeated twice. :)
NEVER IGNORE ERROR MESSAGES! After an error, latex only recovers enough to syntax check the rest of the document. There is no point at even looking at what might or might not be valid output while there are still errors!
There are several major problems:
don't load packages multiple times and in particular don't load them multiple times with different options. An error message in the log file will explicitly tell you about the option clash
don't load incompatible package like apacite and biblatex in the same document. An error message in the log file with explicitly tell you that these two packages are not compatible
the biblatex option is called natbib, not natlib. An error message will explicitly tell you that it does not know the option natlib
the biblatex style is called authoryear, not author-year. An explicit error message will tell you that author-year style is not found
... and then there are many other duplicate, unnecessary or obsolete packages. You should clean up your preamble and only load the packages you need. Also hyperref should be loaded after the other packages.

Latex ClassicThesis - The numbering of the paragraphs does not appear

I need one more numbered level for my report. I used \paragraph{title} but it only appears without numbering.
In the config file, the paragraph is described as:
\titleformat{\paragraph}[runin]
{\normalfont\normalsize}{\theparagraph}{0pt}{\spacedlowsmallcaps}
I believe that the command \theparagraph is responsible for the numbering. Why doesn't it appear?
I searched the net for answers and tried the following commands (at once) before the beginning of the document:
\setcounter{secnumdepth}{\paragraphnumdepth}
Replace the previous command to get rid of run-in with:
\titleformat{\paragraph}
{\relax}{\textsc{\MakeTextLowercase{\theparagraph}}}{1em}{\normalsize\itshape}
\renewcommand{\theparagraph}{\thesubsection.\arabic{paragraph}}
I put the last two commands in \makeatletter and \makeatother.
The paragraph name appears like the section names now, but still no numbers. Any ideas? Here is a small example that works because I didn't include the classicthesis config files.
\documentclass{scrreprt}
\usepackage[utf8]{inputenc}
\setcounter{secnumdepth}{\paragraphnumdepth}
\begin{document}
\chapter{Chapitre}
\section{Introduction}
\subsection{Première sous-partie}
\subsubsection{Un cran en dessous}
\paragraph{Paragraphe with number: what I would like in my report}
Functional here because the problem clearly comes from the two classicthesis config files...
\end{document}
Thank you

Left justification of nomenclature description in LaTeX

I'm using a LaTeX template (provided by ASME) to write a conference paper.
The asme2e.cls class defines a "nomenclature" environment as follows:
% Nomenclature environment
\newbox\tempbox
\newenvironment{nomenclature}{%
\newcommand\entry[2]{%
\setbox\tempbox\hbox{##1.\quad}
\hangindent\wd\tempbox\noindent{##1}\quad\ignorespaces##2\par}
\section*{NOMENCLATURE}}{\par\addvspace{12pt}}
which is used, in the .tex source file, as follows:
\begin{nomenclature}
% [...]
\entry{$C_{visc}$}{Viscous friction coefficient.}
\entry{$M$}{Spool mass.}
% [...]
\end{nomenclature}
resulting in the description texts not being left justified (since a fixed horizontal space is inserted between the symbol (e.g.: M) and the description (e.g.: Spool mass.), but the symbols have different lengths (e.g.: Cvisc is longer than M).
Is there a way to fix the class to have left-justified descriptions?
(I did a few experiments with \dimexpr and the calc package, but just got a bunch of errors).
(I also asked ASME if they could provide an updated template, but I'm still waiting for their feedback...)
I couldn't solve the problem, but I found a "quick and dirty" workaround, using the Tabbing and setspace packages.
Here is the new .tex source:
%[...]
\usepackage{Tabbing}
\usepackage{setspace}
%[...]
\begin{nomenclature}
{\setstretch{1.1}
\begin{tabbing}
\noindent
% [...]
\entry{$C_{visc}$}\quad\quad\={Viscous friction coefficient.}\\
\entry{$M$}\>{Spool mass.}\\
\entry{$v$}\>{Spool velocity.}\\
% [...]
\end{tabbing}
} % end \setstretch
\end{nomenclature}
%[...]
(Clearly, I'm completely bypassing the \entry command defined by the asme2e.cls class for the nomenclature environment).
I also tried to edit the asme2ej.cls file but nothing working for me. Then I ended up using the tabbing and set space packages. However, I did not use the \setstretch, and my document compiled just fine.
%[...]
\usepackage{Tabbing}
\usepackage{setspace}
%[...]
\begin{nomenclature}
\begin{tabbing}
\noindent
\entry{XYZ}\quad\quad\={This is an example}\\
\entry{PQR}\>{This is an example}\\
\entry{ZXC}\>{This is an example}\\
\entry{CVN}\>{This is an example}\\
\end{tabbing}
\end{nomenclature}
%[...]
I ran into a similar issue when submitting a paper to an ASME journal. My solution was to edit the asme2e.cls file:
\newenvironment{nomenclature}{%
\newcommand\entry[2]{\noindent\hbox to 0.05\textwidth{##1}\ignorespaces##2\par}
\section*{Nomenclature}}{\par\addvspace{12pt}}
You can change the amount of indentation by changing "0.05\textwidth".
I'm not sure if this is what you're asking, but see the following MWE:
\documentclass[12pt]{article}
\newlength{\nomenlabelindent}
\setlength{\nomenlabelindent}{4em}
\newenvironment{nomenclature}{%
\newcommand\entry[2]{%
\hangindent\nomenlabelindent\noindent\makebox[\nomenlabelindent][l]{##1\quad}\ignorespaces##2\par}%
\section*{NOMENCLATURE}}{\par\addvspace{12pt}}
\begin{document}
\begin{nomenclature}
\entry{$A$} {Parameter}
\entry{$B$} {Parameter}
\entry{$C$}{Parameter}
\entry{$D$}{Parameter}
\entry{$E$}{Parameter}
\end{nomenclature}
\end{document}
Output:

apsrev4-1 error: ! File ended while scanning use of \#secondoftwo

I try to use apsrev4-1.bst as bibliographystyle to manage format of my prl (physical review letters) paper. However, I got a error I don't understand. Actually, my code works well if using prl.bst, but report error: "! File ended while scanning use of \#secondoftwo." (the reason I want to use apsrev4-1.bst instead of prl.bst is because prl.bst will show title in reference which I don't know why either). I haven't played with latex for very long time, and this is the first time I deal with bibtex of PRL paper. Can somebody give me a hint how can I solve this problem?
\NeedsTeXFormat{LaTeX2e}

%\usepackage{hyperref}
\usepackage{latexsym}

\bibliographystyle{apsrev4-1}
\begin{document}
\bibliography{KZ_PRL_v8}
\end{document}
For me this error was caused by some incompatible items in my bib file.
For example, there was an item in my bib file whose journal was "Computers \& Fluids". After I deleted the "\&", this error message never came out again.
So check the items in your bib file.
