Giovanni Giampaolo's questions

I'm trying to install OpenGL/GLUT libraries but I always get this error. Can someone help me?

I tryed to install il using the command sudo apt-get install freeglut3-dev

The following packages have unmet dependencies:
 freeglut3-dev : Depends: libgl1-mesa-dev but it is not going to be installed or
                          libgl-dev
                 Depends: libglu1-mesa-dev but it is not going to be installed or
                          libglu-dev
E: Unable to correct problems, you have held broken packages.

Update, I tried to solve installing sudo apt install libgl1-mesa-dev but I get

The following packages have unmet dependencies:
 libgl1-mesa-dev : Depends: mesa-common-dev (= 11.2.0-1ubuntu2) but it is not going to be installed
                   Depends: libgl1-mesa-glx (= 11.2.0-1ubuntu2) but 11.2.0-1ubuntu2.2 is to be installed
                   Depends: libdrm-dev (>= 2.4.65) but it is not going to be installed

My fear is that this is a recursive problem, can I solve it in a simple way?

Update result of sudo apt install -f

For about two weeks I have noticed that the temperatures of my cores have increased and are now stable at 70-86 degrees, which is not normal. The fan is always on 3200/3600 rpm and the processor and ram are almost always at maximum. I have not installed anything or done other operations that could have caused this. Could it only be dust in my notebook? Thank you in advance for the help

This is the result of atop into terminal

it's days that the fan and especially the processor of my computer are perennially 100% even if there is no real reason.

This is the situation

Can someone help me?

This is htop with Chrome close

I just got a serious problem! Today when I turned on my laptop, the fan (I suppose is the CPU or GPU fan) went crazy! I hear the sound like it is spinning at 4000/5000 rpm. The other strange things is that the sensors (I use Psensor) tell me that the fan is around 2200/2400 rmp.

All the temperatures, disk, cpu, etc. are OK and in their average ranges. I didn't find anything for managing the fan speed directly, but for the moment it's a bit annoying cause the fan it's making so much noise!

My laptop is an ASUS X551C. I've had it from 2013 and I cleaned it well more or less two years ago when I mounted an SSD.

Can someone please help me?

Update The problem seems to appear when the rpm are from 2200 to 2400 cause when the fan reach 1600/1700 rpm the noise is absent, could be only dust? I don't understand why this problem went out suddenly

suddenly I get an error on my SD Card (look at the image) and now I can't see what it is inside it or use it. I never done any works or something strange since I've bought it months ago. I think it's like a problem with some partition. Can anyone help me? I don't want to lose all of mine pics :( Thanks in advice for ur attetion]1

I've installed "chrome stable" from terminal, but when I click on the icon for open it, it automatically close rapidly. Something into installation went wrong? I'm on Ubuntu 16.04 and I installed chrome with those lines

$ wget -q -O - https://dl-ssl.google.com/linux/linux_signing_key.pub | sudo apt-key add -

$ sudo sh -c 'echo "deb http://dl.google.com/linux/chrome/deb/ stable main" >> /etc/apt/sources.list.d/google-chrome.list'


$ sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get dist-upgrade


$ sudo apt-get install google-chrome-stable

I always used Chrome on my PC and today I got some problems so I decided to uninstall and re-install the software. I'm stuck now cause I can't install again Chrome. I get this result from terminal; I use these 4 commands:

$ wget -q -O - https://dl-ssl.google.com/linux/linux_signing_key.pub | sudo apt-key add -
$ sudo sh -c 'echo "deb http://dl.google.com/linux/chrome/deb/ stable main" >> /etc/apt/sources.list.d/google-chrome.list'

I was working, editing my videos and a section of Kdenlive has disappeared. When I apply an effect on a clip a section should show up in the middle of the window where I can manage the effect. For Example if I apply the effect "fade to black" I'm able to select time and duration for this effect.

The scratch on the image is ugly but useful, the section should be in this position.

I've installed on my pc GIMP version 2.8.22 and it seems to be the latest version. When I try to install BIMP I get this error.

I have a big problem with android studio. Now I'm working on a project and I have to pair the repository from github to android studio.

The connection and the clone of the folder went well. I can't display all the files and folders from the tab on the left side

It says "Nothing to show" although I should see the file listing. How can I get it back?

Unfortunately I need to install and use IE...I'm using that guide given here. But from terminal when I try so launch using ./ies4linux I always obtain this error:

The program 'ies4linux-gtk.py' received an X Window System error.
This probably reflects a bug in the program.
The error was 'RenderBadPicture (invalid Picture parameter)'.
  (Details: serial 6659 error_code 143 request_code 139 minor_code 10)
  (Note to programmers: normally, X errors are reported asynchronously;
   that is, you will receive the error a while after causing it.
   To debug your program, run it with the --sync command line
   option to change this behavior. You can then get a meaningful
   backtrace from your debugger if you break on the gdk_x_error() function.)

Can someone help me? Thanks!!

New software can't be installed, because there is a problem with the software currently installed. Do you want to repair this problem now?

The strange thing is if I tap on repair I see this:

Hi guys I have tried in recent days to install, obviously everything from termianl, the jdk for Java with no success. Later I tried to install WinUSB and everything went ok. Today panic, I'm going to install AWN and I find errors even when I type sudo apt-get update I solved these errors, but every time I try to install any application, terminal gives me errors like this. Down here is the complete code with that mistakes, maybe it happened to any of you, or know how to help me. The big problem is that I can't install anything else because I always have this error. Thank you in advice for your attention and for your help!
