I'm trying to install i3-gaps on Ubuntu 18.04, but I keep getting an error when I hit sudo make install; I also installed libxcb-shape0-dev dependency.
The error I'm getting is : https://pastebin.com/Ek09j4ta ( I don't know how to arrange to get the whole code in a box maybe someone can help with this)
I also know how to install these dotfiles users provide (I only check /r/unixporn) .
right after I just ditched GNOME with tasksel (which I found out it's not ok to remove it) I installed by apt-get, kubuntu-desktop, everything works fine but the desktop and my touchpad.
I don't have taskbar, folders, I really don't get it on how to interact with it, have I done something wrong?
The problem with my touchpad is that I can't click, but I can scroll and wave my cursor around.
I wanted to ditch GNOME DE and install KDE Plasma (more likely Kubuntu), I did it with tasksel but I fell asleep beacuse it took so much and when I woke up my laptop was turned off. When I booted it the DE woudln't load, so I switched to other desktop (Ctrl + Alt + F2) I uninstalled KDE, and when I rebooted of course it redirected me to tty1 with no DE.
The problem is that I have no internet interface, I'm in loopback, I connected it with wired ethernet and there is no amber light blinking, just the status light that i have something in the port. I tried to enable networking with recovery and still nothing.
How can I activate networking and finally install KDE Plasma correctly?
I'm on Ubuntu 18.04
this thing is really getting on my nerves so here's the problem.
I'm using this guy's theme on my Ubuntu 18.04 and his version has a very nice Login Screen, but when I lock my computer I get that basic Ubuntu login screen.
Is there any way to get the Login Screen style on the lock screen as well?
I'm configuring tlp on Ubuntu, and I'm wondering if "powersave" governor will affect my device and not reducing the performance speed.
If it's reducing the performance is it possible to have the performance governor on AC and powersave on BAT, is there any difference?
tlp man says that it's recommended to keep it on powersave no matter on which mode I am.
I'm trying to install Windows 10 alongside Ubuntu 18.04 because I want to try some games on my laptop, and then go back to Ubuntu.
I have two USB Flash Drives, one with Windows 10 and the other with Ubuntu 18.04.
These are the steps I've done after following some answers here on Ask Ubuntu:
Booted on Live Ubuntu, and shrank my 1TB HDD into a 500 GB NTFS partition with GParted;
Booted on my Windows 10 USB Flash (on UEFI) and installing Windows without deleting the partition or formatting it, just by pressing next ( I also tried deleting it and make a new one with Windows, but I encounter the same issue);
After install, it was directly booting into windows, probably installing other stuff, and this is the annoying part, Windows froze at
Getting devices ready
or something like this. I forced it to shut down and then .. continuing to step 4;
I booted again on my Live Ubuntu USB, and I have installed boot-repair, doing the recommended installation.
After installing boot-repair, I restarted my laptop, booted on Ubuntu OS redirecting me to GRUB Boot Loader, I selected Windows everything loaded then I got this error that Windows isn't installed properly and I have to restart and reinstall it.
I really don't know what to do any more, I deleted the NTFS partition and extended my ext4 partition, everything is normal now, but I really need Windows 10, I also need an answer on how to uninstall it and go back to normal.
This is one of the questions I was following, but it doesn't work for me: Install Windows 10 alongside Ubuntu 14.04
And this is the second question, and I was following the first and the second answer, except doing the mount /boot thing because I didn't know what to do exactly: How can I install Windows after I've installed Ubuntu?
I just installed Oibaf's graphics driver, on my laptop, and also Lutris (with Wine and all that) beacuse I want to play games like Diablo 3.
Everything worked fine, I also installed vulkan, and Wine + Gallium Nine

even though I set in the settings when the laptop is on AC to do nothing when the lid is closed, I also selected on gnome-tweak-tool to not suspend but, the wireless still turns off.
How can I make the Wi-Fi working with the lid closed, on AC? I'm on Ubuntu 17.10
Eveyrtime when I'm trying to run any graphical software as root it won't work (i.e Synaptic, gedit) and I get this error :
No protocol specified
Failed to connect to Mir: Failed to connect to server socket: No such file or directory
Unable to init server: Could not connect: Connection refused
(synaptic:32380): Gtk-WARNING **: cannot open display: :0`
I also tried running sudo -H and I get the same error, I executed export DISPLAY=:0 again, absolutely nothing.
I tried using gksudo instead of sudo too, no result.
I was thinking in reinstalling Mir, but how? I'm using Ubuntu 16.04
When I'm trying to launch Synaptic from Application Manager it asks me for password, I'm writing it ( I doube-checked though) and then the software close.
When I'm trying to launch it with sudo it doesn't work, and everytime when I'm trying to log in with su in terminal, I get Authentication failure and I'm writing the correct password. What's wrong??
Output for sudo -H synaptic

I'm trying to install Wine 2.0.2, I compiled it, I installed it, I've done everything but when I try to do winecfg or wineboot i get this error : wine: could not exec wineserver
What can I do?
So I have an Windows 10 computer, a VGA/HDMI cable, and an Ubuntu 16.04 HP Laptop. Is there any way to use my laptop as a second screen to my Windows computer, but still see Ubuntu UI and all that? Like to have a window opened on Ubuntu seeing my Windows computer.
I don't want any remote software like TeamViewer.
So I have the AMD R5 M430 video card, but there is no official driver so I wanted to seek some open source drivers, and I found this Ubuntu 14.04.5/16.04/16.10 and AMD graphics and after all I read Oibaf's driver (https://launchpad.net/~oibaf/+archive/ubuntu/graphics-drivers) fits good, but I don't know how to install it.
I want a good driver for this video card beacuse I want to use it for gaming and other stuff, I mean I want to use it and ditch the Intel video card beacuse I hate it and I don't want to use it.
So I'm at this hotel, and I have trouble connecting to their Fortinet wi-fi. They gave me the user and password, but I gotta be redirected to a web page, and when I open Firefox or Ubuntu's browser it won't load anything.
But the funny thing is when I connect on my Android device, I receive a notification with that log in page.
I am sorry if I asked the question here, but I have trouble on my Ubuntu machine so I think it's Ubuntu related.
I am trying to connect to a L2TP over IPsec VPN I installed network-manager-l2tp and this repository : ppa:nm-l2tp/network-manager-l2tp and when I'm trying to add the connection from Network Connections I get this error:
Could not load editor VPN plugin for 'org.freedesktop.NetworkManager.l2tp' (missing plugin file "/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/NetworkManager/libnm-vpn-plugin-l2tp-editor.so").
How can I install the plugin?
I have installed tlp months ago, and the file configuration is in home folder. I don't know the install steps anymore, so I'm asking you guys if it's ok if that configuration file stays there, or should be moved.
My laptop's CPU fan creeps me out and I am trying to lower it but when I am attempting to run sudo pwmconfig and I get /usr/sbin/pwmconfig: There are no pwm-capable sensor modules installed
The laptop is an HP G250 G5, with Intel i3 CPU, and AMD R5 M430, but the driver doesn't exist for Ubuntu 16.04
I have done an RMI scan, and I wonder if it's possible to open DICOM files, to see it. Ubuntu recommended I install ImageJ, but that didn't decode it or whatever.
A friend of mine opened it with Photoshop and seems like it worked, but I need a program I can easily use on Ubuntu.
My girlfriend's cat was walking on my laptop, and I didn't notice her. When I turned to check, I see that I have 32 "Archive Manager" tabs. How can I close them all instantly, as if using Alt+F4 on all of them at once.
I wonder if I can execute something in terminal, like .bat on Windows. Like, writing the script on the terminal, saving it somewhere, for example on desktop, and opening it, running automatically. I'm asking this beacuse Steam is bugged on Ubuntu 16.04, and the only way i can run this code LD_PRELOAD='/usr/$LIB/libstdc++.so.6' DISPLAY=:0 steam through terminal.
