Try the following.
Run in a terminal:
sudo apt-get autoclean sudo apt-get autoremove sudo apt-get updade sudo apt-get install ppa-purge sudo ppa-purge ppa:jonathonf/texlive sudo dpkg --configure -a sudo apt-get -f install sudo apt-get update sudo apt-get dist-upgrade sudo apt-get install texlive-full
