(I'm not sure exactly what SE site my question belongs, I hesitated between stackoverflow, serverfault and superuser. Feel free to give suggestions about this in the comments.) Here is my problem: I have two users on my linux computer, bli and pquarato. bli installed python3.6 locally (compiling from source with ./configure --prefix=${HOME}). The binary is installed in /home/bli/bin, pip3.6 installs things in /home/bli/.local/lib/python3.6/site-packages. For instance, numpy is installed there: (bli) $ pip3.6 install numpy Requirement already satisfied: numpy in /home/bli/.local/lib/python3.6/site-packages I want pquarato to be able to use bli's python installation. bli did chmod -R a+rx on /home/bli/bin and /home/bli/.local. pquarato can use bli's python3.6 binary, but it is not able to import modules installed with pip3.6: (pquarato) $ /home/bli/bin/python3.6 -c 'import numpy' Traceback (most recent call last): File "", line 1, in ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'numpy' The above works without errors for bli. What else should I do? ----- Note: I actually first ran into a problem when trying to get pquarato to use programs such as ipython3: (pquarato) $ /home/bli/.local/bin/ipython3 Traceback (most recent call last): File "/home/bli/.local/bin/ipython3", line 6, in from pkg_resources import load_entry_point File "/home/bli/lib/python3.6/site-packages/pkg_resources/__init__.py", line 3017, in @_call_aside File "/home/bli/lib/python3.6/site-packages/pkg_resources/__init__.py", line 3003, in _call_aside f(*args, **kwargs) File "/home/bli/lib/python3.6/site-packages/pkg_resources/__init__.py", line 3030, in _initialize_master_working_set working_set = WorkingSet._build_master() File "/home/bli/lib/python3.6/site-packages/pkg_resources/__init__.py", line 659, in _build_master ws.require(__requires__) File "/home/bli/lib/python3.6/site-packages/pkg_resources/__init__.py", line 967, in require needed = self.resolve(parse_requirements(requirements)) File "/home/bli/lib/python3.6/site-packages/pkg_resources/__init__.py", line 853, in resolve raise DistributionNotFound(req, requirers) pkg_resources.DistributionNotFound: The 'ipython==6.2.1' distribution was not found and is required by the application I hope that the same solution will solve both the ModuleNotFoundError and the above DistributionNotFound issue.

I was following this instruction on this site to installing tesseract: https://github.com/tesseract-ocr/tesseract/wiki/Compiling git clone https://github.com/tesseract-ocr/tesseract.git cd tesseract ./autogen.sh ./configure make sudo make install sudo ldconfig But there is a problem in the last line and I got this error messages when I tried ldconfig: /sbin/ldconfig.real: /usr/local/lib is not a known library type /sbin/ldconfig.real: /usr/local/lib/pkgconfig is not a known library type What's that error meaning and how can I fix it? This is the content of /etc/ld.so.conf.d/libc.conf : # libc default configuration /usr/local/lib

I want to install TigerVNC on my freshly installed CentOS 7 server, version centos-release-7-4.1708.el7.centos.x86_64. So besides other tutorials I've tried already, I followed the Red Hat guide. However with variable error messages depending on the tutorial I never got the service to start. The following is exactly what I did on a new installation of CentOS 7: yum install tigervnc-server cp /usr/lib/systemd/system/vncserver@.service /etc/systemd/system/vncserver@.service vi /etc/systemd/system/vncserver@.service initial file content: [Unit] Description=Remote desktop service (VNC) After=syslog.target network.target [Service] Type=forking User= # Clean any existing files in /tmp/.X11-unix environment ExecStartPre=-/usr/bin/vncserver -kill %i ExecStart=/usr/bin/vncserver %i PIDFile=/home//.vnc/%H%i.pid ExecStop=-/usr/bin/vncserver -kill %i [Install] WantedBy=multi-user.target file content after edit: [Unit] Description=Remote desktop service (VNC) After=syslog.target network.target [Service] Type=forking User=root # Clean any existing files in /tmp/.X11-unix environment ExecStartPre=-/usr/bin/vncserver -kill %i ExecStart=/usr/bin/vncserver %i PIDFile=/home/root/.vnc/%H%i.pid ExecStop=-/usr/bin/vncserver -kill %i [Install] WantedBy=multi-user.target Instructions after file edit: systemctl daemon-reload su - root vncpasswd systemctl start vncserver@:1.service Job for vncserver@:1.service failed because a timeout was exceeded.

Since I have problems with my Internet connection I'm not able to always run command apt-get install xdotool in Terminal, so I would like to download the **xdotool** package manually from website in .zip or .deb format and then install it manually every time I need it. (I'm using Usb Live Kali Linux 2016.2-amd64 and every time I reboot it deletes all files). I've tried to download xdotool from https://github.com/jordansissel/xdotool at the right side in green box "Clone or download" there is option download ZIP. After that I extract all files in Home folder and then open it in Terminal. in README file there are instructions like this: > See the website for more up-to-date documentation > http://www.semicomplete.com/projects/xdotool/ or the manpage listed > below. > > Compile: make > Install: make install > Remove: make uninstall > > You may have to set 'PREFIX' to the location you want to install to. > The default PREFIX is /usr/local > > For packagers, there's also support for DESTDIR for staged install. I type in make then make install and it always outputs me this error: root@kali:~/xdotool-master# make cc -pipe -O2 -pedantic -Wall -W -Wundef -Wendif-labels -Wshadow -Wpointer-arith -Wbad-function-cast -Wcast-align -Wwrite-strings -Wstrict-prototypes -Wmissing-prototypes -Wnested-externs -Winline -Wdisabled-optimization -Wno-missing-field-initializers -g -std=c99 -I/usr/X11R6/include -I/usr/local/include -fPIC -c xdo.c xdo.c:29:34: fatal error: X11/extensions/XTest.h: No such file or directory #include ^ compilation terminated.

Can you suggest me other methods of installation of xdotool (but without Internet connection)?

Given an Ubuntu machine using apt or apt-get, is there a built-in or recommended way to check if a package is installed at a minimum version? A package may be available in multiple versions:

apt-cache madison percona-server-server

percona-server |  8.4.0-1-1 | http://repo.percona.com/ps-84-lts/apt  noble/main Sources

I know that I can get the currently installed version of a package by:

dpkg -s percona-server-server | grep Version
8.4.5-5-1.noble

I know I can install a specific version via:

apt-get -qq install percona-server-server=8.4.5-5-1.noble

Yet, how can one only install a target version if the current one is lower than that?

I am trying to use alien --scripts to make a .noarch.rpm file into a .deb file, however, it is not working. I am trying to install Oracle SQL Developer: I have downloaded the sqldeveloper-4.0.3.16.84-1.noarch.rpm package from here . alien --scripts sqldeveloper-4.0.3.16.84-1.noarch.rpm at this point I would expect the file the file sqldeveloper_4.0.3.16.84-2_all.deb to be created so I could call the following command to install it: dpkg -i sqldeveloper_4.0.3.16.84-2_all.deb However this is not the case. When I call alien --scripts sqldeveloper-4.0.3.16.84-1.noarch.rpm I get a folder with the name sqldeveloper-4.0.3.16.84. After looking in the folder, I have found that there is a large proportion of the program missing, the folder which contains all of the executable scripts to set up and run SQL Developer. I am using a `Debian Linux sever, release 6.0.10. Is there a way for me to make it create the .deb file when I call the alien --scripts command?

On an Ubuntu machine, I have installed percona-server-server with version at 8.4.3-3-1.noble. I noticed I could install a package at a specific version via:

$ apt-get install percona-server-server=8.4.5-5-1.noble

Yet I also noticed that I cannot downgrade to a specific version due the dependency dependencies afterwards:

$ apt-get install percona-server-server=8.4.0-1-1.noble
apt-get install percona-server-server=8.4.0-1-1.noble

Some packages could not be installed. This may mean that you have
requested an impossible situation or if you are using the unstable
distribution that some required packages have not yet been created
or been moved out of Incoming.
The following information may help to resolve the situation:

The following packages have unmet dependencies:
 percona-server-server : Depends: percona-server-common (= 8.4.0-1-1.noble) but 8.4.5-5-1.noble is to be installed
                         Depends: percona-server-client (= 8.4.0-1-1.noble) but 8.4.5-5-1.noble is to be installed
E: Unable to correct problems, you have held broken packages.

That makes me wonder: Was I just lucky with 8.4.5-5-1.noble as it is the current candidate? Would it have failed if I had tried an older version like 8.4.4-4-1.noble?

I am new to linux, used to use windows. I am trying to convert to linux and I really love it. I am trying Ubuntu 14.10. I have a question about how to find the installed applications easily in Linux. You know in windows, after I installed an application, I can always find it in the "all application" list. Even no, I can always try to search for its folder from the bottom. However, I am trying two DE, Unity and Gnome 3.12, and it seems that it's more difficult to do this. For example, I've just installed Anaconda3. After installation, it does not show up in the launcher nor the "all application list". I tried to search "Anaconda" or "Spyder" but hits nothing. It looks like it's also impossible to open the file manager to show all folders in the partition on which ubuntu is installed. I can open a terminal and "cd /" and then search it? But that's text interface. So my questions are: Are there any way to find an installed application easily. Is there something like the file manager in windows that can show all the folders in the linux partition or in the whole harddisk?

I've tried to install Wine on my chromebook but I continued to get an error message. Did some digging and realized ARM CPUs can't run that. I did more research and seem to be going in a loop. I was told that using Box64 could be a solution. I'm lost can anyone shed some light on this?

My OS Linux Mint 18.3, xfce, 64 bit. Have tried e.g. this: Have also tried to install Zoom from application center and also from zoom website. I have also tried the suggested solutions here. Can anybody give me an idea how to solve the problem? And: I am not a professional linux user, almost a newby... Thanks a lot!

I was trying to install kali nethunter on my android mobile (android 13) and when i ran the

I need to install few RPM files within a TeradataToolsAndUtilitiesBase__linux_x8664.17.00.31.00.tar.gz from URL below and the file name is "TTU 17.10.11.00 Linux - Base" https://downloads.teradata.com/download/tools/teradata-tools-and-utilities-linux-installation-package-0 how can we do install by using command line by using either yum or rpm.

Thanks to the command "cpuinfo", I've noticed that the "System type" is MediaTek MT7620, "cpu model" is MIPS 24KEc V5.0, so that I downloaded this package > bash_4.3.39-1_ramips_24kec.ipk from Index of /chaos_calmer/15.05/ramips/mt7620/packages/packages/ So I believe that I have got the correct package for my machine, but I can't install it, I use opkg install /path/to/bash_4.3.39-1_ramips_24kec.ipk, sure the path is right, and I got > Unknown package 'bash'. > > Collected errors: > > * pkg_hash_fetch_best_installation_candidate: Packages for bash found, but incompatible with the architectures configured > > * opkg_install_cmd: Cannot install package bash. From the report, I don't think I need to install something else first (Am I wrong?), and I have no idea how to solve this problem. UPDATE: The machine runs Pandorabox R2 14.09, with Luci Trunk (0.12+svn-r1024), I have also tried using bash_4.2-5_ramips_24kec.ipk from Index of /barrier_breaker/14.07/ramips/mt7620a/packages/packages/ and Index of /barrier_breaker/14.07/ramips/mt7620n/packages/packages/ I got the same report. If I am not wrong, the version of firmware of OpenWrt should be 14.07, that's the base of Pandorabox R2 14.09.

I am trying to run a program on a computer running Red Hat 6.5. This results in the three following errors: "/lib64/libc.so.6: version `GLIBC_2.14' not found" "/usr/lib64/libstdc++.so.6: version `GLIBCXX_3.4.15' not found" "/lib64/libm.so.6: version `GLIBC_2.15' not found" Clearly I have to install those libraries, but when searching I only found solutions that suggest running "sudo apt-get", which I sadly can't (no sudo access). Thus I need a solution to install them without sudo. (EDIT: This system does not have apt-get, but I am under the impression that yum, which it does have, is not far from the same thing. Still requires root though). Additionally, I would prefer if the solution only affected my account, or even were limited to the program I am trying to run, so I don't affect other users on this system. I would appreciate if I could receive some help on how to achieve something like this, or if it is impossible, I would like to know that (and out of curiosity, maybe also why).

I have a deb package for installation. Shall I install by dpkg -i my.deb, or by apt? Will both handle the software dependency problem well? If by apt, how can I install from the deb by apt?

I installed Pipelight from the PPA archive, according to these instructions . The installation command, sudo apt-get install --install-recommends pipelight-multi was for only one package, but it entailed downloading and installing about 180 dependency packages, about 40 of which were upgrades to currently-installed packages. Therefore, about 140 new packages were installed. Pipelight subsequently didn't work, so I removed it: sudo apt-get purge pipelight-multi No other packages were removed. I then used sudo apt-get autoremove. This command removed all auto-removeable packages. There were exactly 100 of these (there were also exactly 100 packages in Synaptic Package Manager's 'Autoremovable' list). So this left about 40 packages that weren't considered auto-removeable, and so weren't removed. I had to remove them manually. There were no unmet dependencies on my system before I installed Pipelight; and I hadn't marked any packages as manually-installed, installed or removed anything else, or anything like that. Only about ten minutes passed between installing Pipelight and removing it. So after I removed Pipelight, why weren't all of its unneeded dependencies marked as auto-removable?
