I am trying to install MYCROFT on Ubuntu 18.04 following this: LINK

cd ~/
git clone https://github.com/MycroftAI/mycroft-core.git
cd mycroft-core
bash dev_setup.sh

I am getting this error:

sudo: easy_install: command not found

This error is because the script dev_setup.sh line 168 is trying to execute:

easy_install pip==9.0.1 # force version of pip

I have installed:

sudo apt-get install python-setuptools
sudo apt-get install python-pip python-dev build-essential

However the

easy_install

command is still not recognised. Any ideas?

Update:

By commenting out that line in the script allows the script to run. However there is a module error, voice recognition module missing, when doing an audio test.

After upgrading from 14.04 to 16.06 my system failed.

I have done a fresh install on a new drive, but that failed too...

I have done another install but now when trying to mount my original drive with all my files on I get this message:

pst007x@Home-Server:~$ sudo mount /dev/sdb5 /media/newhd
[sudo] password for pst007x: 
mount: unknown filesystem type 'LVM2_member'
pst007x@Home-Server:~$ 

I have installed 'lvm2' from the repos and gparted sees the drive, however Nautilus does not see the drive and therefore not mounted.

Any advise?

EDIT:

I tried this:

Ubuntu 15.10 64bit

When moving or copying files to either a USB Pen Drive or a Network Share Drive Nautilus (Files) hangs. The copying/moving process starts but then freezes. I know Ubuntu cannot handle large files, however, the file I am moving is only 922MB (.MP3).

I've tried using the cp (copy) command in terminal but now the terminal hangs. A file does sometimes copy, but a file this size can sometimes take up to 30 mins.

I have tried both on a wireless and hard wired network connection.

I have no internal Firewalls.

I can copy to the Network Share Drive, which is on a PC running Ubuntu 14.04.3LTS using SAMBA, from my Win7 PC with no issue and from an old laptop running Linux Mint17.

When looking at System Monitor, I am barely using any CPU or Memory when this issue occurs, so it does not appear to be a lack of memory, etc.

tracker-miner-f, tracker-store, tracker-extract and dropbox processes are killing my CPU, they make it run at over 100%, overheating my laptop.

I have installed CPULIMIT and it works great restricting these processes, however, I cannot get it to autostart.

I have followed this but it does not work, the daemon starts but I think there is an error in the creation of the script and it does not actually limit any processes.

Is there a way to reduce cpu usage without having to manually do it through terminal every time I start a new session?

Ubuntu 14.04

A script I have found below, only partly runs and does not detect the PID correctly.

If someone has better knowledge than me, could you check the line:

NEW_PIDS_COMMAND="top -b -n1 -c | grep -E '$BLACK_PROCESSES_LIST' | gawk '\$9>CPU_LIMIT {print \$1}' CPU_LIMIT=$CPU_LIMIT"

Is this correct?

#!/bin/bash
# ==============================================================
# CPU limit daemon - set PID's max. percentage CPU consumptions
# ==============================================================

# Variables
CPU_LIMIT=40        # Maximum percentage CPU consumption by each PID
DAEMON_INTERVAL=3   # Daemon check interval in seconds
BLACK_PROCESSES_LIST="dropbox" # Limit only processes defined in this variable. If variable is empty (default) all violating processes are limited.
WHITE_PROCESSES_LIST=  # Limit all processes except processes defined in this variable. If variable is empty (default) all violating processes are limited.

#PID Variables
NEW_PIDS_COMMAND=       
NEW_PIDS=
LIMITED_PIDS=
QUEUE_PIDS=

# Check if both of the variables BLACK_PROCESSES_LIST or WHITE_PROCESSES_LIST are defined.
if [[ -n "$BLACK_PROCESSES_LIST" &&  -n "$WHITE_PROCESSES_LIST" ]]
then    
# If both variables are defined then error is produced.
   echo "At least one or both of the variables BLACK_PROCESSES_LIST or WHITE_PROCESSES_LIST must be empty."
   exit 1

# If Black_Processes_List is defined

then  
# Set NEW_PIDS_COMMAND variable to below command

while sleep $DAEMON_INTERVAL
do
   NEW_PIDS=$(eval "$NEW_PIDS_COMMAND")                                                                    # Violating PIDs

   for i in $QUEUE_PIDS
   do
       cpulimit -p $i -l $CPU_LIMIT -z &   # Limit new violating processes
   done
done

I only want to black list specific applications so I have altered to this:

#!/bin/bash
# CPU limit of a process
#
# Variables
CPU_LIMIT=50        # Maximum percentage CPU consumption by each PID 
                    # NOTE: If your machine has one processor you can limit the percentage from 0% to 100%, which means that if you set for example 50%, your process cannot use more than 500 ms of cpu time for each second. But if your machine has four processors, percentage may vary from 0% to 400%, so setting the limit to 200% means to use no more than half of the available power.
DAEMON_INTERVAL=3   # Daemon check interval in seconds
PROCESS_1="" # Processes to be limited. If variable is empty (default) all violating processes are limited.


if [ -n "$PROCESS_1" ] # Process_1 entered
then  

    PID_1="pidof $PROCESS_1" # Set NEW_PIDS_COMMAND variable to below command

echo "Limit Process of: $PROCESS_1"

    cpulimit --pid "$PID_1" -b -l "$CPU_LIMIT" # Run cpulimit with selected paramters

else

   echo "All Processes limited to: $CPU_LIMIT"

   PID_1="top -b -n1 -c | gawk 'NR>6 && \$9>CPU_LIMIT {print \$1}' CPU_LIMIT=$CPU_LIMIT" # Set global CPU limit
fi


# Search and limit violating PIDs
while sleep $DAEMON_INTERVAL
do
   NEW_PIDS=$(eval "$PID_1")                                                                    # Violating PIDs
   LIMITED_PIDS=$(ps -eo args | gawk '$1=="cpulimit" {print $3}')                                          # Already limited PIDs
   QUEUE_PIDS=$(comm -23 <(echo "$NEW_PIDS" | sort -u) <(echo "$LIMITED_PIDS" | sort -u) | grep -v '^$')   # PIDs in queue

   for i in $QUEUE_PIDS
   do
       cpulimit -p $i -l $CPU_LIMIT -z &   # Limit new violating processes
   done
done

This works, but how do I limit multiple processes? At the moment it is either one or all ... Thanks

I create a playlist in order to burn to CD, if I right click on the playlist in order to burn to CD nothing appears, is this correct?

Has the 'Create Audio CD' feature been removed?

Can't find any info anywhere, and advice would be appreciated. If Rhythmbox been stripped, can anyone suggest an alternative?

I have recently installed Ubuntu 13.10 64-bit.

It was, by default, using the Nouveau display driver, however, this caused suspend to fail. I installed a proprietary driver which resolved that issue but created an ugly low res boot screen.

How can I fix it?

I am running Ubuntu Gnome 3.10, can I install Unity on Gnome, or will it break Gnome?

Or should I do a fresh install?

Thanks

When trying to launch Audacity, I get the following error:

Audacity could not find a place to store temporary files. Please enter an appropriate directory in the preferences dialog.

• No files or folder have been moved.
• I have purged Audacity, deleted any files, etc manually and re-installed

ADDITIONAL:

I can open as gksu audacity

So it looks like privileges is an issue somewhere. I have checked all privileges and all seems ok, but clearly not....

I tried changing the Directory in Preferences to a directory in my home folder:

/home/pst007x/Music/audacity_temp/

but when starting again (not in root) same error...

Any ideas what files could be lacking privileges?

After changing the Directory, when running I get this:

EDIT. After the above, I rebooted and was no longer able to login. So I did a fresh install. Not a bad thing since the original install on the this system was 10.10. Working ok after fresh install.

Thank you for taking the time to post answers and suggestions..

Is there any way to reset the System Settings Control Panel page?

The Control Panel was fine, but the for no apparent reason, PRIVACY, BACKGROUND and a host of other icons have vanished...

My system seems pretty messed up after the upgrade... Shutdown, Reset, and Logout from the menu no longer work either...

However, I can launch the Privacy panel from the terminal:

activity-log-manager

and it runs... so why is this, and others, now missing from the System Setting Control Panel?

I have checked and: activity-log-manager-control-center is installed

Is there a config file I can check, or a setting in Gconf where the list of icons are referenced?

I have run - in desperation -

sudo apt-get purge unity*
sudo apt-get purge ubuntu*
sudo apt-get autoremove

Run Gconf-cleaner and Janitor

then re-installed all packages

Still the same issue....?

when I try to launch VMWARE-WORKSTATION, I get the following error:

Before you can run VMware, several modules must be compiled and loaded into the kernel CANCEL / INSTALL

No errors, when I select INSTALL nothing happens just closes.

I install manually:

sudo apt-get install open-vm-tools open-vm-tools-dev open-vm-dkms open-vm-toolbox open-vm-tools-dev

But already installed to the latest versions.

I will start a bounty to fix this.

This is not a duplicate, the other postings do not address this specific issue and offer no solutions

After upgrading to 13.04 I am unable to start VMWorkstation. I get the following message:

Before you can run VMware, several modules must be compiled and loaded into the running kernel.

Kernel Headers 3.8.0-19-generic

Kernel headers for version 3.8.0-19-generic were not found. If you have installed them in a non-default path you can specify the path below.

Does anyone have any idea what to do next?

Ubuntu 13.04 64bit

If I direct the path to:

/usr/src/linux-headers-3.8.0-19-generic

I get the following message:

C header files matching your running kernel were not found.

Thanks

Additional:

As suggested I run this in terminal:

cd /lib/modules/$(uname -r)/build/include/linux 

sudo ln -s ../generated/utsrelease.h 

sudo ln -s ../generated/autoconf.h 

sudo ln -s ../generated/uapi/linux/version.h

However, now I get the following:

Before you can run VMware, several modules must be compiled and loaded into the kernel CANCEL / INSTALL

I INSTALL, the window closes and nothing happens.... Any ideas?

ADDITIONAL:

I installed this:

sudo apt-get install open-vm-tools open-vm-tools-dev open-vm-dkms open-vm-toolbox open-vm-tools-dev

And it all launched...

Many thanks for the suggestions and help... This is what I love about Ubuntu... it has a great helpful community... !

Note: Also found this which may help others too: HERE

ADDITIONAL ERROR:

Could not open /dev/vmmon: Is a directory. Please make sure that the kernel module `vmmon' is loaded.

Failed to initialize monitor device.

Monitor settings all greyed out

RESOLUTION:

Re-installation of Nvidia Drivers

I have had to do a fresh install of Ubuntu 12.10. I am trying to install PYSDM but it is missing from the repositories. I have searched for a repo, none to be found... not sure where else to ask because I really do not want to go backwards to have to edit config files, this seems so counter-intuitive.

Could anyone please direct me on how to install this GUI front end for fstab?

After an update, I can no longer run VMWare Workstation, it fails to open. Trying to install it fails on the virtual network, the patch no longer works.

How do I uninstall it completely so I can attempt a fresh reinstall?

After installing Ubuntu 12.04LTS 64bit I am unable to launch Google Earth.

When I try to launch in terminal I get the following:

pst007x@pst007x-Serval-Professional:~$ cd /opt/google/earth/free
pst007x@pst007x-Serval-Professional:/opt/google/earth/free$ ./googleearth.bin
bash: ./googleearth.bin: No such file or directory
pst007x@pst007x-Serval-Professional:/opt/google/earth/free$ 

If I use Nautilus and navigate to "/opt/google/earth/free" "googleearth.bin" is there.

ADDITIONAL:

Tried creating a new profile and deleting my old profile, purging my system of Googleearth, used Janiter to remove all other references too, re-installed from fresh download, but same issue..

So how is it possible that a successful installation, with all the dependencies installed, and the googleearth.bin file there, confirmed, but will not launch, with the error "bash: ./googleearth.bin: No such file or directory"

The Problem

After updating to Ubuntu 12.04 from Ubuntu 11.10, all video is still blue, whether playing in a browser or a player. Same problem occurs in 11.10 as well.

I have tried to uninstall all Flash and re-installed but it makes no difference.

What is causing the blue Flash video?

Ubuntu 11.10 64bit

Ubuntu 12.04LTS 64bit

What it looks like

Installing VMware 8.0.2 64bit

Ubuntu 12.04LTS 64bit BETA

My Kernel version is: 3.2.0-20-generic

pst007x@pst007x-Aspire-5741:~$ sudo sh VMware-Workstation-Full-8.0.2- 591240.x86_64.bundle

Installs ok

When I launch I am asked to install modules which are compiled and loaded into the running kernel.

A window opens

VMware Kernel Module Updater

This fails on Virtual Network Device

UPDATE:

PATCH.

When I try to add patch, following error:

I have fully un-installed, and re-installed. I am installing the correct version. Probably a problem with the patch. VMware installs perfectly on Ubuntu 11.10

This is how I uninstalled.

I am using Ubuntu 11.10 64bit and trying to install wine 1.5, using this method:

Install Wine on Ubuntu:

sudo apt-get install libfreetype6-dev gobject* libxrender-dev libfontconfig-dev pthread* libpthread-stubs0-dev xext* libsm-dev

and copy the following commands in the Terminal:

wget http://prdownloads.sourceforge.net/wine/wine-1.5.0.tar.bz2
tar -xjvf wine-1.5.0.tar.bz2
cd wine-1.5.0

Install some packages:

sudo apt-get install flex bison qt3-dev-tools qt4-qmake
./configure
cd tools
./wineinstall

All goes well, but at the end, I get this error message:

checking for -lfreetype... not found
configure: error: FreeType 32-bit development files not found. Fonts will not be built. 
Use the --without-freetype option if you really want this.

Does anyone know how to install lfreetype?

Trying to install Ubuntu-11.10-64bit-MAC on a Macbook Pro.

But I cannot get the live CD to load.

'C' does not work

'CMD' does not work

'OPT' no opt key

CD is not corrupt and burnt using the correct iso, all checked.

Installed perfectly on my Acer PC....

God I hate Apple Macs!

Mac currently has Ubuntu 10.10 32bit, but i get issues with the touchpad, I read Ubuntu 11.10-mac version resolves these issues, hence the attempted re-installation...

I do not have any MAC OS installed in this PC only Ubuntu 10.10.

When I press 'alt' the CD does not appear in the list only my HDD, yes my CD is working fine.

Fresh Beta install on Aspire 5741 (NEW70) - network ok

After installation, run update (485 updates) - install completes ok

After update and reboot, Network Manager fails to open. Unable to connect to LAN.

Though my hardware, both WLAN and LAN, are still recognised, however network icon disappears from taskbar, and I am unable to launch NM-APPLET both from menu and terminal.

Error "missing folder" in terminal

Tried both the amd64 and i386 versions.

Ubuntu 10.10 runs fine on laptop.

Since the latest update in Ubuntu 10.10, the nm-applet has started doing some strange things. I boot up the PC, all is fine, internet works, etc... but after a period of time, approx and hour, the nm-applet menu in the Gnome panel fails to respond. when I click on the icon, the menu appears, all looks well, but when I select any option, eg DISCONNECT, nothing happens. Even the VPN sub menu disappears (no triangle to select the menu.) However I do not lose the network connection...

If I Run this script:

killall nm-applet

/etc/init.d/NetworkManager restart

nm-applet

all returns as normal, for a while... weird?

i tried uninstall/reinstall... I even reinstalled Ubuntu, but once the latest updates are applied this issues arises...

Any help?
