When I try to open a .odt file that I was created with Google Drive on Kubuntu 20.04 LTS, I get Unknown error. Google replied ". Is there a work-around?
I'm using Ubuntu 19.04. I'm aware of the question Ubuntu 18.04 Unable to install Viber, but when I try to install via
sudo dpkg -i viber.deb
I get this:

I have tried the Viber Unofficial snap, but I ran into the huge screen rez and I don't know how to fix that either.
I have tried the WINEARCH=win32 winecfg command but it was giving me this wine: invalid directory prefix32 in WINEPREFIX: not an absolute path
Aborted. My question is why does this not work on Ubuntu 16.10 but Free Gaza's solution to the same question works?
When I tried to follow the answer to How do you install the Ubuntu Touch Coreapps?, it doesn't work on Ubuntu 16.04. After I ran sudo apt update, I got this:

Is there an updated way to do this?
I tried running systemctl unmask idmapd and then service idmapd restart, but it still gives me the same error.
I'm on Ubuntu 16.04 64-bit and my server is also Ubuntu 16.04 64-bit.
When I check if it's running, I get this:
service idmapd status
● idmapd.service
Loaded: masked (/dev/null; bad)
Active: inactive (dead)
And for the other one:
$ service nfs-idmapd status
● nfs-idmapd.service - NFSv4 ID-name mapping service
Loaded: loaded (/lib/systemd/system/nfs-idmapd.service; static; vendor preset: enabled)
Active: inactive (dead)
$ service nfs-idmapd start
Failed to start nfs-idmapd.service: Unit nfs-server.service not found.
Is Kerberos needed for proper UID/GID mapping for a NFS system?
I have a Ubuntu 16.04 64-bit home server and I followed this guide to set up the NFS server. My problem is that I'm trying to connect (on my desktop) to it via IP address as the code below:
sudo mount 192.168.1.126/exports /local/ubuntu
But when I do, I get this:
mount: special device 192.168.1.126/exports does not exist
Is there a way to connect via IP address only or do you must have a domain and an address?
I'm on Ubuntu 16.04, 64 bit, and I'm trying to get BOINC to run from command line, but when I try to, I get this error:

./boincmgr: error while loading shared libraries: libwx_gtk2u_html-2.8.so.0: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
I also followed this guide, but no help.

My question has anyone found a solution yet?
Related to this question: Clearing Firefox History via Command Line
In my last question (link above), I asked if there is a way to clean all in the Firefox options of BleachBit. I'm writing a script that will clean my computer before I reinstall or install Ubuntu (I'm just like starting fresh). There is a way but is there a command to clean all options instead of doing each (--clean [insert option from bleachbit --list here] *) one by one? Or does that option not exist?
Possibly related to this question: Can I view Firefox history with the terminal?
I want to create a shell script that clears everything in my Firefox's history (this includes the other histories such as cache) in order to have a clean copy to backup before installing the next Ubuntu version or just to have. The question is how to do this via command line so I can add those lines to my script.
I'm okay with a command line command via BleachBit also, if possible.
I have the android app called GfxTablet and I only have one program (GIMP) that the app can give input on GIMP. Based on the site [1], it says that can work with any Linux program on the computer. But I don't know how to get into the Network Tablet settings on other programs or a global setting for it. Is there a way to do it?
I'm using Ubuntu 13.10 32-bit and a Nexus 7 2013. Both devices have GfxTablet successfully installed.
Is there a way to reschedule the backup to another day and keep it like that with the pre-installed backup program? Because the day I have it on (I do weekly backups) doesn't work for me and I have to do them after being reminded a thousand times before doing one. If this matters, I'm using Ubuntu 13.10 32-bit.
I have a upgraded 13.10 from 13.04 and today this issue of anything that is mouse-like is not seen by Ubuntu. The only input device that works is my Wacom Tablet and it's pen. I already checked for updates and have the latest updates for the Ubuntu system.
Here is the lsusb output:
Bus 002 Device 002: ID 04f2:b209 Chicony Electronics Co., Ltd
Bus 002 Device 001: ID 1d6b:0002 Linux Foundation 2.0 root hub
Bus 004 Device 001: ID 1d6b:0001 Linux Foundation 1.1 root hub
Bus 001 Device 001: ID 1d6b:0002 Linux Foundation 2.0 root hub
Bus 003 Device 002: ID 056a:00b8 Wacom Co., Ltd Intuos4 4x6
Bus 003 Device 001: ID 1d6b:0001 Linux Foundation 1.1 root hub
This is issue a bug or how to fix it? I can't even use the Live USB of Ubuntu 13.10 to fix the issue.
EDIT 1: Seems that Ubuntu isn't seeing the clicks done by a mouse if it's the Wacom tablet.
EDIT 2: I think it's a bug but I need help to report it.
EDIT 3: Based on this question, https://askubuntu.com/questions/394918/mouses-problem?lq=1, it maybe be a bug. I think it's been confirmed by someone else. See edit 2, please.
EDIT 4: My trackpad is also broken on Ubuntu 13.04 and Ubuntu 13.10, but I know that is another conformed bug.
I have tried the solutions that I found here. These two, mainly: Why won't Thunderbird report notifications to the indicator-applet on 12.04? and Why aren't certain indicators showing in Unity? (I have made that array that to 'all') But I still don't get a bubble when I get an new e-mail. Suggestions anyone?
Is there a recovery program that recovers both OLE files (MS Office files, i.e. .doc, .docx) and Open Document Format files (Libre/Open Office ones, i.e .odt) on Ubuntu 12.04?
I deleted these files with Shift+Delete.
Can you run foremost without a LiveCD or LiveUSB? Because from what I have read (the Data Recovery page of Ubuntu), it says that you need one.
When I run this command on foremost,
sudo foremost -i /dev/hda -o /recovery/foremost
I get,
Processing: stdin
Is this right or did I miss a step when I followed this guide?
I cut some files to paste it somewhere else and when I was in the location to paste, the paste option was disabled. I go back to where it was (the source from where I cut the folders) and the files wasn't there. So I did some exploring for the files and I found it in the trash. I tried to restore the files, but that fails with an error
restore missing files.
How to get my files back?
