This is not a LaTeX nor an editor problem but a Linux/Ubuntu/Debian problem. You should ask in a Ubuntu forum. So only one short note:

The message

texlive-full is already the newest version (2019.20191208-4ubuntu2).

states that texlive-full is already installed. If it is not, your package management is broken. You can try a reinstallation with option --reinstall. See the apt-get manual for more information. If the problem persists you should ask in a Ubuntu forum how to solve package installation problems. but before you should test, e.g., which pdflatex or pdflatex --version in the terminal, to check whether it is installed.

BTW: TeX Live 2019 is very old and support is not always possible for such old installations. Upstream current TeX Live is 2021. Maybe using testing repository or doing a Vanilla installation would be another idea.

I'm not using Ubuntu or a Debian based Linux. And once again, this is a Linux problem not a LaTeX problem. Please ask in a Linux/Ubuntu forum how to solve it.

okay. thank you i will post my query there.

type

Code: Select all

which pdflatex

If you get an answer then you have TeXLive installed.

If you are looking for graphical user interface, try LyX --- that's the one I first learned with and I think it is available in Ubuntu but it is not part of TeXLive, it uses TeXLive but is a separate package.

Your TeX Live installation was successful. pdflatex is available.

The error message was, because you've run pdflatex ..version instead of pdflatex --version. So it searched for a file names ..version instead of showing the version of the installed pdftex. However, this doesn't matter. Your installation is ready to use.

If the installation of TeXmaker fails, you can try another LaTeX editor, e.g., TeXstudio or the (minimalistic) TeXworks. There are several others. However, you should report installation errors to the proper ubuntu or debian maintainer. Because: no bug report → no fix.
