Personally, I usually advise against using the "official" Ubuntu
channels as they usually don't get updated. If you want to be able
to
update TeX, and install only the packages you need, unfortunately
you
have to use other ways.

but I noticed that TeXlive scatters its children here and there on the file
system instead of putting its files in a single directory. So I reckon it will
be difficult.

Well, I'm not sure what you mean with "by hand". I used the method
outlined at <a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="http://www.tug.org/texlive/acquire-netinstall.html">http://www.tug.org/texlive/acquire-netinstall.html</a>. You only
need to download one file, and it does everything else "automatically".
The resulting files all went to /usr/local/texlive in my case (with some
symlinks in /usr/local/bin).</pre>

OK, I have just used this same method, and tried to xetex a single
line<br>
(Ceci est un essai de xetex). Using TeXworks, I had the message:<br>
<br>
<meta name="qrichtext" content="1">

margin-right:0px; -qt-block-indent:0; text-indent:0px;"><!--StartFragment-->This

<p style=" margin-top:0px; margin-bottom:0px; margin-left:0px;

<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html;

</style><br>
and using the terminal, with command line: xetex test<br>
Ireceive the same message.<br>
I checked, and found xetex.fmt in the directory<br>
/usr/local/texlive/2012/texmf-var/web2c/xetex<br>
and I added it to the working directories of TeXWorks.<br>
No effect.<br>
I asked: file xetex.fmt: gzip compressed data, from Unix, max speed.<br>
<br>
???<br>
<br>
Thank you for your help, anyway.<br>
