Ubuntu Software Center cannot proceed when applying changes
If we had the this issue, we can try the following.
sudo lsof /var/lib/dpkg/lock
From the above command we can know the PID of the process causing dpkg to lock. Then we do
sudo kill -TERM <PID>
Next, we do
sudo dpkg –configure -a
and waited for the result. After that we can do
sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get upgrade
Sovle the Error code: 0x000000C4 when installing Windows 8.1 in Virtualbox
We need to enable a CPU instruction in the VM as follow,
VBoxManage setextradata [vmname] VBoxInternal/CPUM/CMPXCHG16B 1
(Updated for 18.04)To show the same display session in Ubuntu by Chrome Remote Desktop
The default configuration of Chrome Remote Desktop in Ubuntu opens a new session instead the same desktop currently running.
To fix this, please follow these steps:
Stop it:
/opt/google/chrome-remote-desktop/chrome-remote-desktop –stop
Back it up:
cp /opt/google/chrome-remote-desktop/chrome-remote-desktop /opt/google/chrome-remote-desktop/chrome-remote-desktop.orig
Edit: /opt/google/chrome-remote-desktop/chrome-remote-desktop
Change this to the size I wanted.
DEFAULT_SIZES = “1920×1080”
Set the X display number to the current display number (obtain it with echo $DISPLAY from any terminal).
FIRST_X_DISPLAY_NUMBER = 0
Comment out sections that look for additional displays:
#while os.path.exists(X_LOCK_FILE_TEMPLATE % display):
# display += 1
Reuse the existing X session instead of launching a new one. Alter launch_session() by commenting out launch_x_server() and launch_x_session() and instead setting the display environment variable, so that the function definition ultimately looks like the following:
def launch_session(self, x_args):
self._init_child_env()
self._setup_pulseaudio()
self._setup_gnubby()
#self._launch_x_server(x_args)
#self._launch_x_session()
display = self.get_unused_display_number()
self.child_env[“DISPLAY”] = “:%d” % display #Pls change the quotes to plain quotes
Start it:
/opt/google/chrome-remote-desktop/chrome-remote-desktop –start
DONE. Now it attaches to Unity’s existing X Server on display :0.

Run a 32-bit binary on a 64-bit Ubuntu
If the output of file file-name
shows,
file-name: ELF 32-bit LSB executable, Intel 80386, version 1 (SYSV), dynamically linked (uses shared libs), for GNU/Linux 2.x.x, not stripped
To run 32bit executable file in a 64 bit multi-arch Ubuntu system, we have to add i386
architecture and also we have to install
libc6:i386
,
libncurses5:i386
,
libstdc++6:i386
these three library packages.
sudo dpkg --add-architecture i386
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install libc6:i386 libncurses5:i386 libstdc++6:i386
sudo ./file-name
How to create a MATLAB launcher/shortcut
1. Get an icon:
sudo wget http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/2/21/Matlab_Logo.png -O /usr/share/icons/matlab.png
2. Create the launcher file /usr/share/applications/matlab.desktop
[Desktop Entry] Type=Application Icon=/usr/share/icons/matlab.png Name=MATLAB R2014a Comment=Start MATLAB - The Language of Technical Computing #Uncomment the following line and comment the line after to #force matlab to use the 32 bits architecture #Exec=matlab -arch=glnx86 -desktop
#please replace the following line with the path where matlab installed Exec=/media/Program/MATLAB_linux/R2014a/bin/matlab -desktop Categories=Development;
Compile Bundler in Ubuntu 12.04
1. Download the bundler-v0.4-source and install all the required dependencies.
2. After make, we can see such error,
BundlerApp.h:620:32: error: cannot call constructor ‘SkeletalApp::BundlerApp’
3. The solution is to change “BundlerApp::BundlerApp();” to “BundlerApp();” in line 620 of the file of BundlerApp.h
Then we can make it successfully.
Executing file on NTFS partition in Ubuntu
sudo gedit /etc/fstab
add a line
# <file system> <mount point> <type> <options> <dump> <pass>
Ex:
/dev/sda5 /media/Data ntfs utf8,uid=1000,gid=1000,umask=000 0 0
Install CUDA 5.0 in Ubuntu 12.04
1. The order of installing the Nvidia driver and CUDA 5.0 is not important.
2. The CUDA 5.0 requires Nvidia driver 304 or later.
3. Disable Nouveau by adding
blacklist nouveau
in /etc/modprobe.d/nvidia-graphics-drivers.conf
so that Nvidia driver can be actived.
4. Dependent library should be installed, such as libxmu-dev.
Problem:
After I installed Nvidia driver, tty1-tty6 is not working.
When I push ctrl+alt+F1~F6, only a blinking cursor on the screen.
Current solution:
If I need to use tty1-tty6, I first boot to recovery mode, and then normally strat Ubuntu. From this way, tty1-tty6 can be accessible again.
Save Command Window text to file in Matlab
We can use “dairy” command to save the text in command window.
Syntax:
diary
diary(‘filename’)
diary off
diary on
diary filename
The file can be in a network disk, then we can check the result when we at home.
