Checking TeX Live version...Status: install ok installed
No version of TeX Live was detected.
It appears that you do not have TeX Live 2009 installed. Please follow the
installation instructions on the Ubuntu Manual wiki to install TeX Live 2009:
BUT
apt-cache policy texlive
texlive:
Installed: 2009-7
Candidate: 2009-7
Version table:
*** 2009-7 0
500 http://
100 /var/lib/
Maybe texlive is not "fully" installed but this is another question... BTW, texlive-base is also installed...
The script seems to be unaware about texlive2009/

When you ran the TeX Live 2009 installation script, did you enable the 'create symlinks' option?
If not, I would run 'sudo tlmgr --gui' (this requires that you have the perl-tk package installed), then from the Actions menu, click "Handle symlinks in system dirs". From the dialog that appears, click the "Update symbolic links" button. This will create the symlinks so that the tlmgr has a symlink in the path.
After that's been done, running 'which tlmgr' should show the result '/usr/local/
If this doesn't work, please let me know and we can investigate it further.
