I installed TeXLive 2016 via PPA and used following commands-
sudo add-apt-repository ppa:jonathonf/texlive
sudo apt update
sudo apt install texlive-full
Due to some reasons, I tried to remove it but I couldn't. Later, I installed TeXLive from the official website by following this link Installing TeX Live over the Internet. I used the following command-
ravi@home:~/Downloads/install-tl-20180527$ sudo ./install-tl
Now, I am able to use TeXLive 2018 on Ubuntu 14.04 LTS using Texmaker 4.1 (compiled with Qt 4.8.4 and Poppler 0.24.3). However, my Ubuntu shows the following error-
It seems that TeXLive2016 is the culprit. I used sudo apt-get purge texlive* but it didn't work. Please see below-
