Try to install 'apt-file' package. Then initialize it with
$ apt-file update
Now you are able to search for packages like
$ apt-file find scrbook.cls
==> texlive-latex-recommended: 
/usr/share/texlive/texmf-dist/tex/latex/koma-script/scrbook.cls
 texlive-publishers: 
/usr/share/texlive/texmf-dist/tex/latex/tudscr/tudscrbook.cls

So, you have to install
$ sudo apt-get install texlive-latex-recommended

This is on ubuntu 16.04, but it should work the same on ubuntu 18.04

Kubuntu 18.04 troubles

2018-12-11 Thread d_hewlett
The package 2-3-2..in 18.04 for UBUNTU is simply unusable.  I have used LYX for 
many years with success and without any problems - finding it easy & most 
pleasant to use. I have dozens of LYX files, Two i use a lot I have problems 
with (maybe with others too!). Other users had this problem too and I was 
recommended to install an earlier version. I chose the suggested 'artful' 
version. 2.3.1-2 and installed it successfully. This has partially worked. It 
displays now most of my .lyx files properly (but not all) It seems i can modify 
those that display but i cannot output them in anyway! neither to printer nor 
PDF format (which i prefer) for example It told me i would need book.cls and 
scrbook.cls - i found these are  apparently covered by cntperchap.zip, which i 
have downloaded, but i have no idea how to install it - your doc is far too 
complicated for me - more interested in what its all about rather than 
installation!. It also told me i would need fancyhdr.sty & enumitem.sty which i 
cannot find so far.  Please. Can someone tell me (a layman) simply how to find 
& install these missing items. Alternatively If i have installed the wrong LYX 
version or please tell me? Alternatively  if UBUNTU is the problem - (which i 
am finding difficult to use with their now very limited availability of 
packages for installation) - now no longer suitable? I had tried UBUNTU but was 
forced to revert to KUBUNTU (which i achieved with dogged determination and 
days of effort) but i'm still having problems installing what i need. i'm 
guessing that i cannot be the only one in these difficulties. Best Regards,
