I made a mistake during the installation of Debian 11. My plan was to run Debian next to Win10 by using Grub2 but installed Debian high secure LVM which overwrote my notebook's complete Harddisk. I am completely new to Linux so as you can imagine I struggle hard because I only have a "DOS-style-Terminal". The Debian 11 .iso ist only 3xx mb large and I wonder if i am able to install Gnome from the given Terminal. Some sources mentioned Gnome could be part of the .iso .Is it true? Do I have a chance to process? If not I concidered to add a folder on the bootable USB stick, add something like "gnome.deb" and try to progress this way. I dont have internet in my Asus Vivobook model M712D because of missing"RTW88......" which makes my situation even worse but can access the internet by my Smartphone. In the end I want to install vscode to progress at www.freecodecamp.org using Debian instead of Kali for advanced Linux learning and future operations. I am sure this is a topic to discuss, I cant imagine I am the only one struggling on this issue. Many Windows user gets prevented from using linux by this issue .
The small size of the image indicates that you probably used the Network Install image. This minimal image does not feature desktop environments. Your options are:
Download an image that features a desktop environment (complete installation image, see here) and reinstall Debian using this image.
Install the desktop environment yourself. To do that, you could try sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get install task-gnome-desktop. This, however requires an internet connection.

I have to install mosquitto MQTT on Linux server. I searched on internet and found most of the documents explain how to install in on Linux OS or windows OS. My ask is how to install it in Linux server. Which directory, I need to use and how to do?
Linux OS and Linux Server are two similar things. At least on this level of needs which is just installing an application.
At the first I'd recommend you to read some Linux tutorial, at first glance something like this. There you get the knowledge that installing programs into Linux quite depends on Linux distribution you currently use. And, when you are not compiling the source code of a program, you can not usually affect the destination directory - Linux has the different philosophy of folders than Windows and usually you don't install the program to one directory in some root but to many of them (bin, lib, share, ...). But in minority also some installers exists and you can affect the top level destination directory using them. I am not sure what kind of attitude chose Mosquito MQTT.
At the second I've read the Mosquito MQTT Download page and it seems that the easiest way ( ! but I am not sure if the desired in your company environment ! ) is to install snap via the packaging system of your Linux distribution and just run the recommended snap install mosquitto. And if the snap package is build reasonably, you will have your application installed and ready to run and configure.

Kali Linux Copy And Paste Problem:
So I've been having this problem so much its became a huge pain, it gets aggravating having to type out such long sentences from my host computer without being able to copy and paste from it, I've tried everything I could find online and I mean everything and none of the solutions seemed to work, I even tried downloading Kali Linux on a Virtual Machine instead of a Virtual Box (Which was a nightmare to setup for me) and it along with a bunch of other features didn't work either (Probably because I'm not good with setting it up), but I didn't care because I mainly wanted it to work on my Virtual Box, I noticed something today though after I reinstalled Kali Linux for my Virtual Box (I figured reinstalling it would do the trick) and it kind of did, at least until i did "sudo apt-get upgrade" then the copy and paste feature stopped working, I've spent awhile dealing with this but I'm fed up, please do your best and leave some ideas, anything, I really just want this to work. Thanks.
Other Infromation:
• I'm running the latest version of Oracle V Virtual Box 64-Bit: 6.1.4 https://download.virtualbox.org/virtualbox/6.1.4/VirtualBox-6.1.4-136177-Win.exe
• I've downloaded Kali Linux Virtual Box 64-Bit: Version 2020.1 https://images.offensive-security.com/virtual-images/kali-linux-2020.1-vbox-amd64.ova
• I'm running **Windows 10 Latest Version*
Copy & paste is broken in the Guest Additions 6.1.4 r136177. Either downgrade the Guest Additions or install
the 6.1.5 test build of the Guest Additions.

What's the difference between
1.installing Ubuntu and changing its desktop to KDE or direct installing kubuntu
2.installing Ubuntu and changing its desktop to XFCE or direct installing xubuntu
3.installing Ubuntu and changing its desktop to LXDE or direct installing lubuntu
4.installing Ubuntu and changing its desktop to mate or direct installing Ubuntu mate
5.installing Ubuntu and changing its desktop to gnome or direct installing gubuntu
Please help... I am confused..
They're all Ubuntu-based distros with different tweaks. Each distro runs on the same Linux kernel, so they're the really same for most intents and purposes. The obvious difference, as you have stated, is the desktop manager installed on each one, so a different look and feel. However, each of them also comes with different packages pre-installed. Each distro may ship with different video viewers, photo viewers, email clients, photo editors, and so on.
Each one will also consume different amounts of RAM, CPU, and power.
For more information, this post has very good tables and graphs to compare the distros: http://mylinuxexplore.blogspot.com/2014/11/ubuntu-1410-vs-kubuntu-1410-vs-xubuntu.html
This question should probably be asked on https://askubuntu.com/ but i'll answer it anyway. When installing Ubuntu you are greeted with a unity desktop meaning that all the unity package dependencies have been installed. If you were to install KDE on ubuntu (which is totally fine) you would still be left with unity desktop installed on your system. This is not ideal for computers with low storage or resources which is why different flavours of ubuntu have been released, aka kubuntu, ubuntu MATE. When installed these operating systems will only include the packages needed to run their own desktop (among other things like apt)

Being Belgian, all laptops come with windowsTM pre-installed. Ingnorantly, I bought on thinking I would be able to install (K)ubuntu. I found out the UEFI is just microsoft's way to prevent you doing this. It stops you booting from USB or CD, it does not allow installing Linux or anything.
I tried the F2/F10 options and settings, I disengaged the security options, disabled secure boot, changed boot order, I tried changing HD with compatible laptop and running OS, tried to bang it against my head, nothing lets me install Linux, it just says:"no bootable device found"
UEFI dual booting Linux and Windows is big tangled mess. I've pulled it off with Ubuntu and Fedora, but after a lot of effort. There are a lot of important variables here. I'm more likely to be able to offer a solution with the following info:
Which media are you using – USB or optical?
How did you create the media? (e.g. Pendrive, Rawwrite, etc.)
Which laptop manufacturer? (This is surprisingly relevant)
Also, it will help us all in the long run if we get more insight into the specific UEFIs and start documenting this issue more thoroughly. UEFIs are embedded software typically written by third-party companies like Insyde. You can find yours by installing a Windows system detailer like Speccy or HWInfo64. See the attached screenshot from Speccy. This info is unlikely to help here and now, but it will help us long-term: I'm looking to create a repository for these UEFI boot issues if someone hasn't done so already.
Try installing Fedora 22. There is a UEFI trampoline to get passed this hurdle. If I had a UEFI machine I'd have tested this answer; it is theoretical at best.

I am trying to install ubuntu 14.04.2 LTE. I have a lunovo ideapad with windows 8. I have followed all necessary steps flawlessly, and even factory reset my laptop to make this smoother. I get this error when trying to boot and install ubuntu. I also get it if i try to run ubuntu without installing. Also I tried re-downloading ubuntu, and remounting on my usb with the universal usb installer.
Is this error due to my computer, or the ubs/unbuntu? There was another option in the boot menu. It was check disk for error. I do not know if it was checking disk as in the iso disk or my hard drive, but a ubuntu lunch screen appeared and it was looking into some ubuntu files (on the usb), when it was done it said there was 2 errors. It did not say what kind or if it repaired it , or how to repair it. It only gave me the option to exit, then lunovo boot screen appeared and it stayed in a attempting to repair loop for quite a awhile so I gave up on that and shut down.
I would ask this in ask ubuntu, but I do not have enough "respect points" to upload an image.
Major respect to anyone who can help me out, I have been to get ubuntu for 2 days now, and I hit a dead end.
This error message can appears in those cases:
1. Your hardware it not compatible, usually ACPI issue. Try to boot with additional options: "noapic" and/or "acpi=off". You should be able to set parameters in "Other options" [F6 key].
2. Your RAM is broken. Check it in "Test memory" option.
