I am trying to compile my ModernCV résumé with Font Awesome icons.
This is the LaTeX which I'm attempting to compile:
\documentclass[10pt,sans,letterpaper]{moderncv}
\usepackage[margin=0.5in]{geometry}
\moderncvstyle{classic}
\moderncvcolor{orange}
\moderncvicons{awesome} % this should force font-awesome icons
\name{First}{Last}
\title{Title Here}
\email{email@example.com}
\homepage{example.com}
\social[linkedin]{LinkedIn}
\social[github]{GitHub}
\begin{document}
\makecvtitle
\end{document}
When I am on Arch Linux, everything works as expected; the icons which appear are the Font Awesome ones. However, when I am using Ubuntu 12.04, the document compiles (there are no errors) but the icons seem to fallback to the MarVoSym set. This also seems to happen in Ubuntu 16.04 and I am not sure why this is happening.
Here are the commands which I use to set up my LaTeX environment:
sudo add-apt-repository ppa:texlive-backports/ppa -y
sudo add-apt-repository "deb http://us.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ trusty main"
sudo add-apt-repository "deb http://us.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ trusty universe"
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install texlive-latex-recommended texlive-latex-extra texlive-fonts-recommended texlive-fonts-extra
mkdir -p ~/texmf/tex/latex/
wget https://launchpad.net/moderncv/trunk/1.5.1/+download/moderncv-1.5.1.zip
unzip moderncv-1.5.1.zip
mv moderncv/ ~/texmf/tex/latex/
mktexlsr
I can also verify that Font Awesome is installed because this compiles and shows up properly:
\documentclass{moderncv}
\usepackage{fontawesome}
\name{First}{Last}
\begin{document}
\faLinkedin
\end{document}
Finally, the command I am using to compile is pdflatex <filename>.
EDIT:
I checked the log output and I found these offending lines:
WARNING: to use the awesome icon set, please use XeTeX or LuaTeX to compile you
r document; switching to the marvosym icon set.

I put \listfiles on the top of my file and ran pdflatex three times. This is the filelist I obtained:
