I'm trying to compile a Latex file in Ubuntu 15.10, but I get the following error message:

! LaTeX Error: File `lineno.sty' not found.

I googled this error and found 3 pages, all offering the same solution:

https://codeyarns.com/2014/05/14/latex-error-lineno-sty-not-found/ http://notesofaprogrammer.blogspot.co.uk/2015/02/installing-linenosty-in-ubuntu-and.html http://ask.xmodulo.com/fix-lineno-sty-not-found-latex-error-linux.html

which was to do the following:

sudo apt-get install texlive-humanities

I have done this, and it seemed to work successfully, but I still get the same error message when I try to compile. I have closed and re-opened the terminal.

  • FYI, Ubuntu 15.10 has gone EOL for a while. Please consider upgrading to 16.04.

In 15.10 and later you need to install the package texlive-latex-recommended instead of texlive-humanities.

On http://packages.ubuntu.com/ you can search for packages containing some file.
