Org-mode does not load Latex previews at startup

Question

In org-mode, Latex previews are not loaded at startup when using #+STARTUP: latexpreview. I've also tried customizing org-startup-with-latex-preview with no effect. Only way to preview latex fragment is individually doing so by using C-c C-x C-l

As example I'm using the following org file:

#+STARTUP: showall indent latexpreview entitiespretty
* dfs
* df [2/2]                                                              :prb:
- [X] sdf
- [X] sac
* LaTeX embed:
** \gamma \alpha \beta \theta Caracteres especiales, renderizados con: C-c C-x \ Se hace permanente con #+STARTUP: entitiespretty
** Subscripts M_sun ( =M_sun= ) | Superscripts 2^2 ( =2^2= C-x 8 RET hex RET)
** $a ^2=b$ Previsualizar con =C-c C-x C-l= 
** Previsualizar con =C-c C-x C-l=
\begin{equation}
x=\sqrt{b}
\end{equation}      

Edit: Following tobias advice I checked with emacs -Q which seem to work, but now, I don't know what is it in my emacs init file that is making the previews to fail. Next is my init.el file:

(add-to-list 'load-path' "/home/khamsin/.emacs.d/cc-mode")

     (autopair-fallback))

Answer 1

I experienced the exact same issue. The proposed "solution" using emacs -Q works (also in my case), because it loads a different version of org-mode, in which the bug with previewlatex does not yet exist. (compare M-x org-version if you start emacs with and without the -Q option).

So this problem is probably not related to the .emacs file. Its probably a bug in newer versions of org-mode (I'm using version 8.3.2).

Answer 2

Same issue. If you uninstall the elpa org (8.3.3), emacs will use the built in org (8.2.10). This solves the issue for me.

Note: I'd like to comment on BejaminSchiel's instead of posting an answer but I don't have enough reputation for that.

Answer 3

Had the same problem. Uninstalling the org-contrib package fixed this for me.
