For some reason installing Dropbox via software center does not work.  I get a message that sends me to Dropbox website where I follow the instructions. But at the end it says it says:     Next, run the Dropbox daemon from the newly created .dropbox-dist folder.   I am not able to do this. Running the command ~/.dropbox-dist/dropboxd fails for me.  Running Ubuntu on Windows 7 Home Edition.

I've downloaded the latest version of wubi, but for Xubuntu, Kubuntu, and Lubuntu, it is unable to find the metalink to download the iso. Is there any way to fix this, or do I have to manually dualboot?  If so, how do I manually dualboot? Thanks.

I use to set up my Ubuntu desktop from scratch, (Ubuntu server + Xorg + Openbox etc...). But I found out that in the 20.04 lts version, Xorg comes with Gnome out of the box. I tried sudo apt install xorg-server but I get an error: E: Unable to locate package xorg-server Is it still possible to install Xorg without installing Gnome ?

A few hours ago the dropbox icon in Xubuntu 14.04 stopped working. The icon is black with a red slashed zero. I cannot click on it to bring up the dropbox menu. I believe there was an update right before this happened.  I reinstalled then purged dropbox. I even deleted all associated files and hidden folders and after I installed it again. Still, the icon is not working. Tried to stop and start the service... again nothing.

Of course for most packages the answer is trivial: if it's some tool or library, deb is the only option, while for some proprietary software snap is the only option.  It seems Ubuntu is heavily pushing and promoting Snap packages, citing advantages in packaging, isolation, security, updates, etc. yet all applications that ship with Ubuntu 18.04 are installed as deb packages.  One example is Firefox, which is a package that should be kept up-to-date for security reasons, and that in the past had conflicts with distribution package maintainers about security and branding (Iceweasel). Yet Canonical chose to ship Firefox as a deb package.  For packages that have both a snap and a deb, this raises the question: Which one should you install? And if the answer is snap, should I actively migrate installed deb's?

I'm having a strange problem on Ubuntu 17.10: when I try to drag and drop something inside Nautilus it simply doesn't work, it doesn't even select the item, it seems like it's ignoring the action... Also, I cannot select things inside nautilus by drawing rectangles with the mouse.  All of these actions work only on the Desktop. Here is a demo:    I'm using the Xorg session with nVidia proprietary drivers. I also noticed that Nautilus seems to hang when I try to copy, paste or cut a file...  EDIT 1: I solved the problem for the slow copy/paste by disabling the clipboard sync plugin of KDEConnect. I also discovered that if I open Nautilus as root, I can drag and drop or select whatever I want...

So, I've spent the last day going through similar questions, and can confirm first that this is not a duplicate of:       With that out of the way: I've created an Ubuntu 14.04.03 Live USB Flash Drive (32GB) using UNetbootin, as well as the Ubuntu Startup Disk Creator. In both cases, I was able to successfully deploy my Ubuntu ISO (). In both cases, persistence worked successfully (I had to manually enable it when using Ubuntu Startup Disk Creator, but UNetBootin adds the -persistent kernel argument automatically to syslinux.cfg), no problems.  I need to have a persistence file larger than 4GB, as I'm creating a bunch of these flash drives for Field Application Engineers (FAEs), and they need to be able to use them on the road to diagnose installations for custom systems my company currently supports. It's fine if they burn out due to excessive write cycles, and each FAE gets a dozen of them if needed for each trip.  Also, we need to keep the first partition on the disk as a FAT partition in case the FAE needs to drop files onto the disk from Windows, Mac, Linux, etc, as Windows machines refuse to mount FAT partitions on a flash drive unless they are the first and only FAT partition on the disk.  I've tried the steps in the following articles:       The instructions were clear:   Create a Live USB flash drive with Ubuntu, leaving space for an extra partition. Delete the casper-rw loopback file on the first FAT partition on the flash drive. Use gparted to create an ext2/ext3/ext4 partition after the FAT partition, and give it a volume lable of casper-rw.   I followed all of the advised steps, but booting fails. When I attempt to boot from my newly-created flash drive, I am directed to a prompt instead of Ubuntu properly booting, .  dmar: IOMMU: failed to map dmar0 ACPI PCC probe failed.  BusyBox v1.12.1 (Ubuntu 1:21.0-1ubuntu1) built-in shell (ash) Enter 'help' for a list of built-in commands.  (initramfs) _   I've gone through the Ubuntu bug tracker, and it seems that this issue has been observed by numerous others:      And that it has been solved, so I should expect the fix to already be in my Ubuntu 14.04.03 image:      I've also tried updating my kernel boot parameters, by inserting LIVE-MEDIA=/dev/sdd1 (in my case) at boot time by hitting TAB, ie:  kernel /casper/vmlinuz.efi initrd=/casper/initrd.lz file=/cdrom/preseed/ubuntu.seed boot=casper LIVE-MEDIA=/dev/sdd1 -- persistent   This time it at least finds the boot partition and starts attempting to boot the Live USB disk, but seems to fail along the way, with a bunch of "casper" related warnings. I can't seem to save those logs though, so I'm unable to provide them at this time. My current default kernel arguments are:  label ubnentry1 menu label ^Try Ubuntu without installing kernel /casper/vmlinuz.efi append initrd=/casper/initrd.lz file=/cdrom/preseed/ubuntu.seed boot=casper  quiet splash -- persistent   How can I go about resolving this issue?  Thank you.

I'm basically looking for an unattended way to deploy/install the  collection into several Ubuntu boxes. I've searched for PPAs, packages or user scripts but without much luck.  Any advice will be much appreciated. Thanks a lot in advance!

I'm trying to install Anbox in my new Ubuntu 16.04 using instructions from  . It seemed to work, but I got no icon in my dash, so I suspect that the installation is not complete. With Synaptic  Package Manager I can see that anbox-common &amp; anbox-modules-dkms are installed, but I have no icon in my dash, so I tried running   sudo snap install --edge --devmode anbox   and got this error:  error: cannot install "anbox": Get    https://search.apps.ubuntu.com/api/v1/snaps/details/core?channel=stable&amp;fields=anon_download_url%2Carchitecture%2Cchannel%2Cdownload_sha3_384%2Csummary%2Cdescription%2Cdeltas%2Cbinary_filesize%2Cdownload_url%2Cepoch%2Cicon_url%2Clast_updated%2Cpackage_name%2Cprices%2Cpublisher%2Cratings_average%2Crevision%2Cscreenshot_urls%2Csnap_id%2Csupport_url%2Ccontact%2Ctitle%2Ccontent%2Cversion%2Corigin%2Cdeveloper_id%2Cprivate%2Cconfinement%2Cchannel_maps_list:    dial tcp: lookup search.apps.ubuntu.com on [::1]:53: read udp    [::1]:54255-&gt;[::1]:53: read: connection refused   What am I doing wrong?

After installing the latest Ubuntu I find that the icons in the applications folder (viz. /usr/share/applications), when opened in the Files application (Nautilus), come up as a blank page with a gear in the middle. If I try to open them I get a read only text box.

For some reason the gnome installer that handles .deb packages on my system is not working. I'm not concerned.  How would one install the Brackets.io program from the terminal?
