This could be fixed by adding a argument to the makefile with lsb_release -ds.

In arch for instance, I must install the dependencies one by one and it's annoying.

Non related to the first topic but sometimes the compilation fails and I loose citations because of something to do with the auxiliary files, I'm not sure what it is but clearing them solves it.

I also added another command to the Makefile, might be an interesting addition.

clean_aux:
	ls | grep -e 'matter.*' | grep -v matter.tex | xargs rm

EDIT : If this is to be implemented I think it should first change to the template's root directory.

It's a small thing so I figured it wasn't deserving of a dedicated issue.

Decide on license and be sure to properly credit the previous efforts by the professors

@fabiomaia we need to decide if/when this will go public.

Hi guys,

I'm quite new to LaTeX, so it is quite possible these are dumb questions.

Number
I noticed that the page numbers appear in the bottom right side of the page, while for even pages the number appears in the middle. Is there a way to solve this?

Subsubsection
Is there a way to change the formatting of the subsubsection? They appear in italics. I would like to have them in bold and a bit larger.

Btw, I'm using this template in Overleaf in case this are problems specific to Overleaf.

Clear up whether we're doing a dissertation or a thesis and further document the following option in cover.tex to clear things up for others:

%\DocumentTypeThesis
\DocumentTypeDissertation

Is this the expected behavior ?

I changed the standard language from portuguese to english in matter.tex and as expected the figure names changed from "Figura" to "Figure", and the chapter names from "Capitulo" to "Chapter". But when I create a code block like this:

\begin{listing}
\begin{verbatim}
(code ...)
\end{verbatim}
\caption{Code description}
\label{code_lbl}
\end{listing}

The label still is displayed in portuguese. Instead of "Code 1: Code description" it is still "Código 1: Code description". I tried to see if I could change it in custom_theme.tex and in uaThesisTemplate.sty, but haven't found anything.

How can I make that label change from portuguese to english?

Maybe big noob on latex but the macro \Quote appears to not be usable in the Chapters

It seems that make build is presenting an error.

./matter.tex:81: LaTeX Error: Missing \begin{document}.

See the LaTeX manual or LaTeX Companion for explanation.

It might be related to #20. I've tried to build #21 and it was ok.
@Jpfonseca were you able to build it?

make print causes the pages in thesis-print-final.pdf to be out of order. This may be due to some glob happening (wrongly) in simplify-colors.sh.

Currently, the template does not support more than one co-supervisor.
I can take this one.

Greetings!

I have submitted my Master Thesis and, according to my department's secretary, both the outside and inside cover should no longer have a line underneath "Universidade de Aveiro". From what I've done, simply commenting or completely removing \hrule in the \long\def\HEADER#1#2 definition suffices.

The output of removing this would be of the sorts:

Best regards,
Eduardo Santiago.

Translate boilerplate text to English so that prose linting and such works out of the box.

Hi all,

Is there a way to obtain the bibliography for each chapter, and print it at the end of the chapter instead of printing it at the end of the document?

I tried adding \printbibliography at the end of each chapter and this creates a new chapter with the bibliography instead of writing it as a section in the chapter

hey, so my professor wants me to use the UA latex template, the problem is that i'm a noob on latex and cant figure out how to remove the "documento provisório".

been studying latex for the past week, working great so far, but i just cant find where to delete that.

I had my thesis rejected because of the Quote page.
In this template, the quote is put as the second cover page. This includes all the title information, as it just a variation of the cover, with a cover instead of a figure.
This got my document rejected.
Turns out the quote is supposed to be on an empty page, last thing in the cover pages (after the abstracts).

In matter.tex

\renewcommand\listingscaption{Código}

forces the caption indicator of code listings to be in portuguese

Regarding the cover.tex file,I have a suggestion. I couldn't change the department information of my supervisor, but then I solved the problem after 10 or 15 minutes.

I noticed that the supervisor's department was by by default "Departamento de Eletrónica e Comunicações", as I quote here, from the page 4 of the cover.pdf:
Dissertação apresentada à Universidade de Aveiro para cumprimento dos requisi-
tos necessários à obtenção do grau de Mestre em Engenharia de Computadores e
Telemática, realizada sob a orientação científica do Doutor Tiago C. A. Oliveira,
Professor auxiliar do Departamento de Eletrónica, Telecomunicações e Informá-
tica da Universidade de Aveiro, e do (...)

And when I changed the supervisor line of cover.tex to this:
\Supervisor{Tiago C. A. Oliveira}{auxiliar}{do Departamento de Física}{da Universidade de Aveiro}
I got an error when I compiled the cover file. Then I solved the problem because I realised that I had to change the department information to fis on the line \usepackage[engineering,fis]{uaThesisTemplate}

So, my suggestion is for you to put a comment on that line on the fact that we have to select the department first (the emphasis of the department information is at the moment less relevant, at first sight, due to the fact that the department is, by the new rule of Univ. of Aveiro, not printed in the first page of the cover.

Será adequado criar uma forma de manter o template Overleaf atualizado na plataforma.
Neste momento tem 1 ano de atraso face a este repositório.

I believe it would be better if the repository would be changed to a Template Repository. This would allow for a better tracking of the changes in different forks might be related with bugs.
As an example of this behaviour you can look to this repo.
