So i have installed Latex and dvipng and dvisvgm. Everything worked perfectly fine, but now i can’t seem to make new cards with latex, without receving: Error executing ⁨latex⁩.  
Generated file: ⁨/var/tmp/anki\_temp/tmp.tex⁩ Have you installed latex and dvipng/dvisvgm? if i put in a command like [$$]A \in B[/$$].  
But if I copy paste an old card, it works perfectly fine?  
I have Anki on Fedora 42 and installed it with flathub.

Hello @fedlivi 🙂

Does your issue also occur when you install Anki via the `install.sh` script as described in the [manual](https://docs.ankiweb.net/platform/linux/installing.html) or via `DNF`?
