I've changed my OS (yesterday and I'm new to it) to Ubuntu 22.04, installed TeX Live and can't understand why it's not working with russian and ukrainian languages. I'm using Sublime Text as an editor


\documentclass{article}
\usepackage[T2A,T1]{fontenc}
\usepackage[utf8]{inputenc}
\usepackage[russian,english]{babel}

\begin{document}
 
Текст

\end{document}

Errors:

[Compiling /home/anmnv/Documents/text.tex]

TraditionalBuilder: Engine: pdflatex. Invoking latexmk... done.

    Get rid of fontenc and inputenc and recompile with (preferably) LuaLaTeX.

  • @Ingmar Your suggestion gives: Errors: /usr/share/texlive/texmf-dist/tex/generic/babel/babel.sty:4254: Package babel Error: Unknown option 'russian'. Either you misspelled it [\ProcessOptions*]

    You are using the debian packaged texlive, so need to install babel russian via apt or whatever linux package manager you use, as apparently you chose not to install all texlive packages originally

Thanks to @DavidCarlisle suggestion "I had to install babel russian" and also thanks to @Rmano suggestion about "switch T2A,T1 to T1, T2A" (it really works). So my solution is:

sudo aptitude -y install texlive-lang-cyrillic

\documentclass{article}
\usepackage[T1, T2A]{fontenc}
\usepackage[russian,english]{babel}

\begin{document}
 
Текст

\end{document}

    I still suggest you get rid of inputenc … utf-8 has been the default for years now. (And Sublime certainly supports it.)

This works for me on TL 2022 (Windows 10, but still):

\documentclass{article}
\usepackage[english]{babel}
\usepackage{fontspec}
\setmainfont{cmunrm.otf}

\begin{document}
 
Hello, world! Привет, мир!

\end{document}

    You have the babel russian support insalled, the OP has not, so switching to luatex will still error.

  • Fair enough. But isn't the point of TL that it comes with everything pre-installed, so to speak? I usually don't do Russian, but it worked out of the box for me.

  • @Ingmar still many errors, like Package fontspec Error: The font "NotoSans" cannot be found. [] and /usr/share/texlive/texmf-dist/tex/latex/fontspec/fontspec-luatex.sty:3901: Font \TU/lmr/bx/n/10=[lmroman10-bold]:+tlig; at 10pt not loadable: metric data not found or bad. [\strongfontdeclare{ \bfseries }]

    @Ingmar no. doing a full install of all packages is an install time option.

    @Ingmar OK but that's cheating:-)
