Hi

I've freshly installed Ubuntu 10.4 on a new computer. I'm trying to install on it application I need (my old computer is broken and I have to send it to the service). I've managed to install texlive and than I can't install anything else. All software I want to have is what I have succesfuly installed on my old computer (with the same version of Ubuntu), so I don't understand, why terminal says (sorry, the terminal talks half English, half Polish, but I hope it's enough):

maria@marysia-ubuntu:~$ sudo aptitude install emacs

Do you want to ignore this warning and proceed anyway?
To continue, enter "Yes"; to abort, enter "No"

I was trying to install other editors as well, with the same result. As I decided that I might be sure that I know the package I want to install is secure, finaly I've entered "Yes". The installation ended succesfuly, but editor don't understand any .tex file (.tex files are for sure fine):

this is pdfTeX, Version 3.1415926-1.40.10 (TeX Live 2009/Debian)

restricted \write18 enabled.

entering extended mode

(./Szarfi.tex

! Undefined control sequence.

l.2 \documentclass

{book}

?

What's more, I've realised that in Synaptic Manager there is no package which would be marked as supported by Canonical...

Any tips? Thanks in advance
