I currently have mysql 5.5 installed, and working.
I'd like to migrate everything to mysql 5.7 (for a number of reasons, but mostly the spatial functions).
I would like to have both 5.5 and 5.7 be running at the same time on the same box.
How can I do that?
I currently have a process that does sudo apt-get on a large number of files, sudo make install and the like.
Is there a simple way to use these scripts when I do not have root access?
I have a 20 GB NTFS volume that I was planning on using for a variety of purposes, including being readable by windows with little effort.
Unfortunately, for some reason, I cannot execute any files on the drive, even after following the answer here (I was able to mount the volume just fine, but the error persists).
How can I fix this?

Currently, I have xrdp installed, with the following in the .xsession file:
gnome-session --session=ubuntu-2d
When I attempt to access the machine via remote desktop from windows, I am able to log in, but am then greeted with the following screen (Note: It looks less dark on my screen, zoom to sort of see how it is supposed to look):
I have tried to restart, both the service and the machine, to no avail.
Any ideas on how to fix this?
I just built a large program that had some other programs in the source tree.
make install just installed the main program, but I want to install all of the sub-programs that were built as well.
Is there a way to do this?
Note: by install I mean that I can type it from any shell, or through any program (though really I only care about make) and it will run.
I applied a large number of updates to Ubuntu 12.04 (if someone would tell me how to get a list of the applied patches, and I would be happy to post it here), and my mouse refuses to move.
How can I fix this issue, or at least revert the updates so that my functionality is restored?
Note: Ubuntu is running under Hyper-V on a Win 8 Host.
My goal is deceptively simple (at least to me). I wish to take the output of ls -l or ls -lh and select just one field.
I am looking for this to be as bulletproof as possible, by which I mean, assume that filenames can have a variable number of spaces, not everything in the field has the same length, etc.
Bonus points for having a script that will take the name of the the field (or even just a field number), and then return the contents of the field.
I want to turn

I currently have 3 partitions: Windows, Ubuntu, and swap.
I want to move my windows partition by about 20GB. When I try to do this in GParted, it tells me that this will mess up GRUB, and that there is a page that can resolve these issues.
However, this page does not actually mention my issue. I am not moving my boot partition (Ubuntu).
How can I force GRUB to look for operating systems that are on the drive? I know that this is possible, because when Ubuntu was installed it found Windows without any issues.
Additionally, if I create a copy of a partition, how can I add that to GRUB (I assume it will be the same command as above, but if not, what would it be)?
Note: OS prober is mentioned here but it doest not list how to use it, or where to find it.
I was able to install Ubuntu 12.04 using the alternative version of the image, (64 bit) but when I start the system it tells me the GPU locked up, and instead presents a text only screen.
I understand that this site is not for bug reports, but at the same time, I know that there are some versions of the installer than have to be compatible with my graphics card (Nvidia GTS 360M).
I assumed that the mere fact that the alternative installer ran was an indication that I could get some sort of graphical interface running after the install.
Is there some way of getting some type of graphical interface running on my machine? Even better would be is there a way to get the rest of the system running as normal (i.e. GPU up and running)?
If an internet connection is required to download driver support or something similar, directions for how to configure a wireless connection with WPA2-Personal protection from the text-only interface (bash).
Any help would be appreciated.
Note: I was able to find this which tells me that the card is supported.
Note 2: In the install software stage of the install, I was unable to install anything (no internet connection)
Update: The exact error message is [8.591394] [drm] 0000:01:00.0: GPU Lockup - switching to software fbcon
Update 2: If I try to install with the regular version of Ubuntu, the screen goes staticy. This also happens if I install with Wubi (distasteful I know) and then try to use Ubuntu.
Update 3: I've tried xforcevesa, nomodeset and xforcevesa nomodeset as my wubi boot options.
Update 4: Thanks to jokerdino, I can now connect to the internet, so internet tools would now be a possibility.
I wish to install gcc 4.7 so that I can use some c++11 features.
I downloaded the source, ran ./configure and was told I needed GMP. Downloaded the code for that, hit ./configure and was told I needed m4. But I already have m4 (least that is what synamptic tells me).
What is going on and how can I fix it?
