I'm running Ubuntu 15.10.

I've followed everything in this guide How to setup Dual Shock 4 controller with Ubuntu 13.10?

But when I do the

sudo pip install ds4drv

I get this error

evdev/input.c:10:20: fatal error: Python.h: No such file or directory

compilation terminated.

error: command 'x86_64-linux-gnu-gcc' failed with exit status 1

So sometime ago I remember installing a NVIDIA driver through a .deb file instead of having the Terminal with .run files and it was a lot faster and the end result is the same. There was an PPA (at-least I think it was) on an official Ubuntu website that had the latest NVIDIA drivers in a .deb file... I have searched for hours trying to find it and to no avail... I know this isn't the typical question that gets asked here but I would really like to find it.

I would like to upgrade to the latest 3.17 Linux Kernel because it has support for the Xbox One Controller and I really want to test it out.

I am running Ubuntu 14.10 64bit with the latest pre-release updates.

I have looked around the internet but most of the tutorials seem outdated, I don't want to follow them, have something mess up and have to reinstall everything

I am using Ubuntu 14.10 64bit and the latest version of VLC media player, when I play a video (MP4, MKV AVI etc... it doesn't matter) at the bottom of the screen there is a green line
It isn't an issue with my OS, YouTube, and the default media player work fine. Has anyone else had this issue? and if so is there a fix or is it just a software bug?

Why do I need these? I have installed Ubuntu under a non UEFI (master boot record) and have installed Ubuntu with no 'biosgrub' and it works fine, whereas other times I am asked to make a 'biosgrub' partition. I have no idea why sometimes I need it and others I don't (these have both been on the same system).

And the same thing happens when I use UEFI (GUID Partition Table). The only difference is I am asked to make a 'EFI boot partition', but as with the 'biosgrub', sometimes I am asked to make it and sometimes I am not asked to make it.

For my current install I was asked to make one but I didn't and my system is fine. There is no change in the system, same hardware, BIOS etc... Could anyone shed light on this?

I currently have Ubuntu 14.04 LTS installed, but would also like to dual boot Windows 7 aswell mainly for games. I have downloaded a Windows 7 ISO but the Startup Disk creator will not allow me to select it, so I cannot proceed to make the USB. If I was on Windows and I wanted to make a Windows USB I would just use command prompt, go to disk part and make the USB bootable and extract the ISO to the USB. Is there any way I can do this in terminal or a program that will do this for me? Or a way to get the Startup Disk Creator to make a Windows USB. I have been told that the startup disk creator only works on Ubuntu/Linux ISOs.

We have a Advent PC that has 2GB of RAM and a 2.20GHz (I can list full specs if needed) 64bit CPU, on Ubuntu's website it says if you have 2GB of RAM or less install the 32bit version; but couldn't we benefit if we installed Ubuntu 64bit? That way the OS could take advantage of the CPUs 64it instruction set. Any answer would be appreciated.
