I installed XnViewMP deb package by using GDebi, as have done it dozens of times before in previous Ubuntu versions. The installation finishes successfully, yet XnViewMP won't start, not even after full reboot. Already uninstalled/reinstalled it twice. No success. Anything else i should do to make it work?
I tried to install Wine-stable (1.8.5) in Yakkety using the official ppa: sudo add-apt-repository ppa:ubuntu-wine/ppa to no avail. The ppa doesn't seem valid and all i get is the old wine1.6. And it doesn't even show up in the main menu.
Is there another way to properly install it (1.8.5)?
LibreOffice 5.2 menus are flickering when opening LibreOffice and while hovering the mouse over them. After a while the flickering fades away. Very annoying and nerve breaking. I guess it got something to do with loading the program into RAM memory. Is there anything i can do about that flickering? This doesn't happen in Windows or in Wine.
Mint is creating some universal X-Apps. I find Pix to be quite interesting, very advanced interface concept, something like MS Ribbon interface, but better. Does anyone knows how to install this X-Apps in Ubuntu?
I have a large collection on pictures which needed cropping, color balancing, autotuning, etc. Now Thunar is showing the old thumbnails and is very confusing because i can't visually separate edited pictures from unedited ones. How can i make Thunar automatically regenerate or create new thumbnails for the edited pictures?
I apt-get install pdfsam in 16.04. It doesn't work with the OpenJDK 9 (preinstalled). Author's site says it works with JDK8. So i did:
sudo apt-get install openjdk-8-jdk
That didn't work ,so i tried:
sudo apt-get install openjdk-8-jre
Still nothing. Nada. Any ideas what i did wrong?
I have used Xubuntu 16.04 fine for months. Today i updated some snapd package, then i restarted the system as required. And now it just won't let me log in. It replies invalid password. I tried to switch to lxde, then a tried to log in to another user account (including root) to no avail.
Then i pressed Ctrl + Alt + F1 to enter the CLI environment. Tried to log on (as regular user, then as root) and i keep getting the same message:
System is booting up. See pam_nologin(8).
I found out that pam_nologin means Prevent non-root users to login. And yet i can't log in as root! What can i do? Should i reset root password from a Live Ubuntu?
P.S. I'm so upset i'm not even looking for my Live Ubuntu and i'm writing this from Windows :( .
What is this mmcblk0p1 instead of sdb (sdc, etc)? Why an SD card is named mmc (as in mmc card)? What is this wlp3s0 instead of ath0 (or eth0)? Why is a wifi card named wlp3 when i have only one wireless card? What is this mumbo-jumbo? What's wrong with the old naming system?
Every time I resume my work after a screensaver, the wireless network list becomes unavailable. No listing at all. Wireless connection is activated all the way. What baffles me is that I can web browse exactly like before. Connection details shows I'm (still) connected to the same wireless network. Does anybody know how to refresh the wireless connection list in Xubuntu 16.04?
Addendum: I may have found A cause, my laptop's wireless hardware switch was off (i saw it in Windows, shamefully), and yet wireless was working in Xubuntu.
I pretty sure everybody knows Alien (package converter)! rpm to deb, rpm to tgz, deb to tgz, etc. Sadly, no longer maintained, but still working in Ubuntu. But its' GUI named Package Converter doesn't work in Ubuntu 16.04. It installs just fine, but it won't start. Any solution for that???
I'm not such a linux savvy to use Alien in a terminal window, graphical interface would help me a lot. Thanks.
As Android is gaining more and more users every day (and Windows losing some), i consider reasonably fair for me to ask: Is there ANY Wine equivalent for Android apps? I'm not asking for native linux support for apk packages, just for a non-emulator like Wine is.
Touch-interface hardware is getting cheaper every day, and Android being king there, is just natural that all programmers keep on rushing into making Android apps. In the last year alone i've seen most famous software getting implemented in Android: Photoshop, Autocad, Revit, Pixlr, etc
I'm not an Android developer, not looking for an android-sdk, just regular user looking to use certain android apps in Ubuntu. Typical example: Autocad and Photoshop - neither one working properly under wine, but having Android variants. I'm hoping that Android being linux, it could be more easy to adapt Android to Ubuntu code, than adapting Windows to Ubuntu code.
Many Android apps have an option for light/dark mode (daytime vs. nighttime hours). I find that very useful at times. Is there any such option in Ubuntu 16.04?? It would be very useful for battery consumption and for the late night hours.
Maybe you could add an option for that in the Power Manager icon or directly on the desktop? OR at least for the themes with lite and dark variants, like Vertex or Arc.
I had problems installing Estru3D. It requires Gambas3 to be installed as a prerequisite. But it doesn't work with the newest Gambas3 installed in Ubuntu 16.04.
Please help me. I need gambas3-gb-qt4-webkit (>=3.8) very badly! It is required by Estru3D software for installation. I have installed gambas3-gb-qt5-webkit_3.8.4-2ubuntu3_amd64, but Estru3d won't recognize it at all!! I can't find that file anywhere!
I'm looking for any software like ETABS, SAP2000, Autodesk RSA (ROBOT), Graitec Advance Design, SCIA, STRAP, STAAD. I don't need simple 2D frame solver. I'm looking for fully fledged 3D, nonlinear, dynamic and seismic analysis capable software. Structural codes dimensioning and yield strength checkings would be really sweet. It doesn't matter if it's free or commercial. Code-Aster and Salome are too 'academic' and hard to manipulate. They don't provide any structural codes support. They look more like Ansys (physics software, not structural specific).
I'm looking for B(uilding) I(nformation) M(anager) software in linux. Something like Revit, Archicad, Allplan, Tekla, Bentley RAM. All that won't work in wine (under linux). It really doesn't matter if it's free or commercial. Any pretty decent solution would do. Couldn't find any just yet, hence my question. Already checked CYCAS, but it's very old, very odd (interface) and unmaintained (for a long time). P.S. Please don't mention CAD software. BIM is not CAD, BIM is much (more) better!! Please don't mention PLM software (like Solidworks, Inventor, PTC Creo, Siemens NX, CATIA, etc). PLM is NOT BIM.
