I have to ask a rhetorical question: What does the version of ubuntu has to do with the version of texlive?

If you use the ubuntu/debian package management system to install texlive (e.g. apt-get install texlive-full) you get a version that contains packages from 3 years ago.
These often contain bugs that have long been fixed or are incompatible with tools they interface with (e.g. gnuplot/pgf).
