Pablo, simply put, the system fonts, with the module simplefonts, can't be found.
Was OSFONTDIR exported? Yes. Was the path specified correctly? Yes. In my case was /usr/share/fonts
Which is the output from "kpsewhich --var-value=OSFONTDIR"? AfaIk, you should get /usr/share/fonts// (double slash to handle subdirectories).
What command was used afterward? The mtxrun --script fonts --reload.
You could try (after fixing path above when needed) "mtxrun --script fonts --reload --force".
Did you try other commands? Yes. Most notably context --generate, context --make, luatools.
I think these are unrelated tools (although I’m not an expert).
When was the first time the condition appeared? Some time last week, after reading complaints from other computer users, who think texlive as it's currently distributed, is disrespectful to users, e.g. most people would not need every other package out there. (Of course, the above is just not correct). But the other most readily option, is to install the packaged distribution for ubuntu. The latter is what I did.
For ConTeXt, I think it is better you use the ConTeXt Suite (an standalone ConTeXt distribution). As a matter of fact, I don’t have TeX Live (or LaTeX) installed. I only use the ConTeXt Suite (http://wiki.contextgarden.net/ConTeXt_Standalone). I hope it helps (complain back, if it doesn’t :-)), Pablo -- http://www.ousia.tk
