You used the correct sudo command. The message you got  just means
that tlmgr is not on the path of the sudo  user, even though it is on
your own path. This is an issue with Ubuntu, if I remember correctly,
and with the way Ubuntu manages security precautions with sudo. There
is a (not very recent) discussion here:
http://stackoverflow.com/questions/257616/sudo-changes-path-why.

But as a quick hack: call tlmgr with the full path in front:

$>sudo /usr/local/texlive/2011/bin/i386-linux/tlmgr --gui

it should work.


Cheers,

Stefano

Re: Ubuntu -tex live 2011 set paths?

[John Kane]

Thanks for the reply.

So far what I have is:

john@ubuntu:~$ tlmgr
 /usr/local/texlive/2011/bin/i386-linux/tlmgr: missing action; try --help if 
you need it.

john@ubuntu:~$ which tlmgr
/usr/local/texlive/2011/bin/i386-linux/tlmgr

And strangely enough this works

john@ubuntu:~$ tlmgr --gui
Loading local TeX Live Database
This may take some time, please wait!
You don't have permission to change the installation in any way, specifically, 
the directory /usr/local/texlive/2011/tlpkg/ is not writable.
Please run this program as administrator, or contact your local admin.
Completed.

I get a gui interface,and can access a repository  but with no update rights.  
Okay this makes sense,, clearly I need root privileges but

john@ubuntu:~$ sudo tlmgr --gui
[sudo] password for john: 
sudo: tlmgr: command not found

Probably I just need another way to be root.  Since I'm the only user I would 
have thought sudo would work but I really am a newbie at Linux.
