So I've installed TOR, via the directions   sudo apt-get install tor deb.torproject.org-keyring Reading package lists... Done Building dependency tree        Reading state information... Done deb.torproject.org-keyring is already the newest version. tor is already the newest version. 0 to upgrade, 0 to newly install, 0 to remove and 109 not to upgrade.   But I can not locate my tor browser in apps?

I tried to install Tor on my new version of Ubuntu, but it seems that Tor is not available in the repositories.  How else can I install and use Tor?

I was using Tor completely fine last night in Ubuntu 12.04. I installed TorChat then when I went to use it today I get the following error message.  Oct 15 22:45:57.888 [notice] Initialized libevent version 2.0.16-stable using method epoll. Good. Oct 15 22:45:57.888 [notice] Opening Socks listener on 127.0.0.1:9050 Oct 15 22:45:57.889 [warn] Could not bind to 127.0.0.1:9050: Address already in use. Is Tor already running? Oct 15 22:45:57.889 [warn] Failed to parse/validate config: Failed to bind one of the listener ports. Oct 15 22:45:57.889 [err] Reading config failed--see warnings above.   So I used ps to attempt to kill the running Tor process and found there was none. I restarted the computer and noticed that while loading the OS some text came up very quickly which was the same as this error message. I uninstalled TorChat to see if that was the problem but that didn't do any good.

For some applications its fairly easy enough to locate where the application was installed to using the "which" command.  However, some applications such as Tomcat are a little out of my league to locate.  I'm asking for particular methodology that can be applied to any apt-get install  to locate where the binary, library, and support files are installed to.  The cause of this question is that I installed Tomcat7 and I can's seem to locate it and I have a list of customizations to perform.

How to download the latest .deb of Vivaldi browser using wget generic  command (with the help of wildcards)? Vivaldi can't be downloaded without entering the exact name and number of the latest build. For example, wget https://downloads.vivaldi.com/stable/vivaldi-stable_3.5.2115.81-1_amd64.deb  What I want is something easy like in the case of firefox and google-chrome, where wget -nc -O ${HERE}/FirefoxSetup.tar.bz2 &quot;https://download.mozilla.org/?product=firefox-latest-ssl&amp;os=linux64&amp;lang=en-US&quot;  and wget https://dl.google.com/linux/direct/google-chrome-stable_current_amd64.deb  are working very well, downloading the latest versions of these browsers without the need to specify the exact name and build number, unlike in the case of Vivaldi. I want to have a script that downloads this browser(Vivaldi) anytime without my intervention to update/change it.

I am trying to install opera browser from the terminal.  I downloaded the 'debian' installer because it didn't show up in software center.  It completely destroyed my software center - it is frozen and I have no idea how to fix (I have a different thread for that though).  Can I use this thing called synaptic package manager to install Opera?  or am I stuck with Firefox?    How do I install Opera Browser?

How do I install the latest  on Ubuntu? I've been looking around, and I can't find anything. Is there a Ubuntu package for node.js, or do I have to compile it myself?

So, today is July 21st and . gives me an option to download 16.04.1 LTS. However, attempting to upgrade gets me this message -  $ sudo do-release-upgrade Checking for a new Ubuntu release No new release found   What is wrong? Does it matter that I am running apt-get update behind apt-cacher-ng?  Note: Commenting out the files in apt.conf.d that used apt-cacher-ng did not make a difference.  Edit: Explanation for possible duplicates:  deals with upgrade from 12.04LTS to 14.04LTS. My question is specific to 14.04 LTS to 16.04.1 LTS upgrade. Old answers, while good for archival purposes are less relevant in a fast changing package like ubuntu. Moreover none of the answers answer what is wrong. The link  pointed out is mentioned in one of the comments. This Q &amp; A is more helpful for people upgrading today than the work around mentioned in "".

I would like to ask a very basic question but I have never thought about it before. Well, when someone installs an application from terminal, he has to add the repository first, right? On the other side, when someone installs an application from the Ubuntu Software Center, is the repository then added automatically?  I am asking those questions to figure out this: When I run update and then upgrade, will this application be upgraded or not? Is the result same in two options?

I want to install the latest Firefox on my Ubuntu (64bit) box.  What is the best way to do this? Is there a specific update site or should I download the binaries manually? If doing manually, in which directory should I put the files? In my home directory, or is there a better place?

I am trying to install current stable version 0.12.1, but it only installs 0.9.9. Any chance to install latest version with apt-get install? It seems that 0.9.9 is very old :(

I am assuming that all application installed through apt-get are open source; but for those that are available in that manner, where can I get the source code for these applications as well as update them?   I have a couple applications I use regularly that aren't being actively developed any longer and I would like to add features. Where would I go to get the rights to update these applications?  In this case specifically, I am referring to the hellanzb package

I need to check the current version of VLC I have running, however I don't know where it is installed (can't see it in /etc or /bin).   If I do vlc in a terminal then the application starts, but is there a way to do like a pwd vlc command where it shows me the actual path of where the vlc app is being called from?   I want to see if the actual file name contains the software version since I can't find the version within the software itself.  I have a statement asking me to explain why this is different from another post. It is different because this is a 2 part question, where I am trying to understand the install package location (which is the same as the other link), however I also wanted to know how to check the VLC version, hence the title (and why this question is different).

I just finished installing Ubuntu 14.04 and Gnome Shell sudo apt-get install gnome-shell ubuntu-gnome-desktop, however when I checked what version has been installed I read 3.9.90: is this correct?   Isn't Ubuntu 14.04 supposed to ship with gnome 3.10 at least? What am I missing?

I'm totally new to Ubuntu/Linux, using Ubuntu Server at the moment. Just trying to  figure out something basic.   How can you tell where you are installing a program. For example I just installed Sphinx search engine by placing the tarball that I downloaded from their site to my:  /home/sphinx   directory. I created the sphinx directory to place that tarball in. Then I ran these commands:  tar xvzf sphinx-0.9.8.1.tar.gz cd sphinx-0.9.8.1/ ./configure --with-mysql-includes=/usr/include/mysql --with-mysql-libs=/usr/lib/mysql   and then these:  make sudo make install   Now I have a lot of files sitting in the directory where I ran these commands. Is this my Spynx installation or did it install somewhere else?  In windows if you run an installer (.exe file) anywhere the program will still install in your C:\Program Files directory. Does something similar apply to linux where all programs are installed in a central place, or can you install programs anywhere on the system.  Questions   I would prefer to keep all my installed programs in one place so what is the right place for this in terms of best practice. In other words what is the Linux equivalent of C:\Program Files? And how does one always install at this location, is it just a matter of placing the tarball and running the install commands from this location? What about if I use sudo apt-get to install a package. How can I point to this location to tell apt-get to always install there?

I'm pretty new to running linux, but I know that 19.04 was released today and I wanted to upgrade from my current 18.10. However, when I follow the release notes here:  I get the message "The software on this computer is up to date". I made sure that my update settings are set to "any new version" and "normal" in the /etc/update-manager/release-upgrades file.   What am I doing wrong?  Thanks for the help!  Side note: I had to disable this PPA:  because it would cause errors in apt updating. Do I need to re-add it? If so how do I do so without it giving me an error?  Edit: I have followed the procedure recommended in the documentation which is identical to the suggested duplicate, but I am not given the option to upgrade. I have not yet tried the   do-release-upgrade -d    option as I don't want to upgrade to the developer version.
