Nikhil Shrivastava's questions

I keep getting a prompt after I have upgraded from Ubuntu 18.04 to 20.04 that my Software index is broken and should run Sudo apt-install -f but if I run this I get:

This is what generally happens. I get a prompt:

If I click on continue, I get software index is broken

and if I click on partial upgrade, it starts upgrading but then

and

then I get these two and the partial upgrade is done but the prompt that came first pops again after few hours.

I was following this article to get rid of

WARNING: pip is configured with locations that require TLS/SSL, however the ssl module in Python is not available. and whenever I'd do . ~/.bash_profile it would result in

-bash: /home/nikhil/.bash_profile: line 1: unexpected EOF while looking for matching `"'
-bash: /home/nikhil/.bash_profile: line 2: syntax error: unexpected end of file

So, I searched askUbuntu and find this and according to one of the solutions provided,

I went to Edit -> Profile Preferences -> Title and Command tab and checked the "Run command as a login shell" option. But now as soon as I open any terminal I get the first two lines as

-bash: /home/nikhil/.bash_profile: line 1: unexpected EOF while looking for matching `"'
-bash: /home/nikhil/.bash_profile: line 2: syntax error: unexpected end of file

and the same if run . ~/.bash_profile. Please help.

Whenever I use pip3 for eg I did pip3 install virtualenvwrapper-win

I get WARNING: pip is configured with locations that require TLS/SSL, however the ssl module in Python is not available.

Also for this specific module virtualenvwrapper I am getting

ERROR: Could not find a version that satisfies the requirement virtualenvwrapper-win (from 
versions: none)
ERROR: No matching distribution found for virtualenvwrapper-win

But installing anything with pip works fine it's just pip3 that's not working.

I searched askUbuntu for this and found this but the accepted answer to this is not working for me. More specifically if I do sudo apt-get install libreadline-gplv2-dev libncursesw5-dev libssl-dev libsqlite3-dev tk-dev libgdbm-dev libc6-dev libbz2-dev

I get E: Unable to correct problems, you have held broken packages.

Please help me to fix pip3.

I use Ubuntu 18.04 LTS, dual-booted with Win10. Whenever I boot the system, it takes ~3 minutes. Also before the login screen, this thing comes up of which I am attaching a screenshot.

What does this logo stands for and if this is the reason for high boot time, how to get rid of it?

I checked out How do I enable or disable Apport? and did sudo systemctl disable apport.service and now apport-autoreport.service is not there. But fstrim is still taking a huge amount of time. I went through https://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=2410364 but wasn't able to get a satisfying answer.

This is the disk partition: If you have any advice, I would be happy to hear! Thanks!

I was trying to increase the size of my Ubuntu(ext4) using Gparted, and while I managed to increase the size to 270GB I noticed that I have too much unallocated space. I am attaching the image below(sorry for the poor quality). As you can see I have created, foolishly, three ext4 partitions but the one that my Ubuntu uses is sdb5. Also, sdb4 and sdb7 are partitions for D and E of my Windows OS. Now, is this somehow possible to use all the unallocated space I have to be merged with ext4(sdb5)? I am ready to sacrifice D and E. Please help, I would be really grateful.

PS - please do not flag this as duplicate as I wasn't able to find a solution. Thanks.

Whenever I boot Ubuntu, I get a message 'Sorry, Ubuntu has experienced an internal error' and when I click on 'continue' to send an error report, the pop-up disappears. I didn't face any problem til now. But now few problems like not being able to connect to a LAN network(through ethernet cable), ALT+F2 then r not restarting gnome and the sign-out icon between settings and power not working, have popped up.

Earlier I was using 16.04 and everything was working fine. I have recently upgraded my system to 18.04.

PS - Please do not flag the question as a duplicate because the other person who had the same problem specified NVIDIA but I am not sure what is wrong with mine.

While trying to restart the gnome shell, I entered r after pressing Alt+F2 and it responded with a message of 'restarting' but nothing happened. I have recently upgraded from Ubuntu 16.04 to 18.04.

I installed Netspeed and Nightlight slider extensions to my Gnome 3 but these are not working even after I restarted the gnome and then the whole OS. I have recently upgraded to Ubuntu 18.04.
