How to install ubuntu unity - linux

How to install ubuntu unity with in ubuntu mate?
Tried installing via terminal sudo and was unsuccessful. Hardware is raspberry pi 3.

Unity does not support Linux. Only as a target platform. Editor platform is Windows.
They had an experimental version some time ago, but that is mostly dead. I also wanted to have that but it's Windows you need for Unity.

There were official releases, but this forum page is from the stoneage:

How to run Gnome desktop on Ubuntu 20.04 in cloud

After doing a Google search for running a Gnome desktop or just desktop (found Xfce4 info...) on a cloud instance, I found some guides at Digital Ocean, for example:
Install and Configure VNC on Ubuntu 20.04LTS
The problem is, that doesn't help me set up a desktop that can run Visual Studio Code or other apps. vscode fails to run, and so does the Atom text editor. They seem to need something like the Gnome Desktop to run, which I can't start using the information in that link. I can't just replace xfce4 with gnome-session and get it to work.
Am I missing something? I have installed gnome desktop and vnc server.
I hadn't installed all the packages I needed. Some were missing in the various guides I read.
So I went here:
Installing and configuring Ubuntu Desktop for Google Cloud Platform
... and it worked perfectly.

Lazarus link failed on Linux Mint 18.3 Cinnamon

I am new to Linux Mint, Lazarus and fpc.
I installed Linux Mint 18.3 Cinnamon and Lazarus v1.8.0, found it needed fpc and fpc-src, then installed fpc 3.0.4 and fpc-src 3.0.4, launched Lazarus without problem, then tried to run a simplest application in which there is only a blank form. It failed with a lot of "cannot find -l" error, fixed a few with "sudo apt-get install xxx" commands, but ther are still 4 of them:
gdk_pixbuf-2.0, gtk-x11-2.0, pango-1.0 and atk-1.0
where can I find these libraries?
I tried this and it worked for me:
1. Installed Synaptic package management tool
2. Used Synaptic to remove all fpc, fpc-source, fpc-src and Lazarus related packages(fp-xxx, lcl, etc.), used Complete Removal
3. Manually delete /usr/lib/fpc folder
4. Reinstall fpc, fpc-src and Lazarus in order
I had a similar issue with Lazarus and Linux Mint 18.3 just this week actually!
The solution I found was to go through the software manager, search for "pascal" and uninstall any Lazarus and FPC* related packages.
You could of course use apt from the shell or Synaptic as Bochen has already suggested but the Software Manager is what I used.
Then go to http://www.lazarus-ide.org and download the Debian DEB files.
The current version is at 1.8.0 and I installed them in the following order:
fpc_3.0.4-2_amd64.deb
fpc-src_3.0.4-2_amd64.deb
lazarus-project_1.8.0-1_amd64.deb
Hopefully, now, it should all work beautifully. That fixed the problems for me and is a newer version than what's currently available in the mint repositories.

Eclipse Kura installation on Linux machines or VM

We know that eclipse kura can be installed on edge devices and Raspberry pi is the most popular edge device at now.
As per https://www.eclipse.org/kura/downloads.php, we can see various downloads for Raspberry pi, Intel Edition, BeagleBone and Fedora with the beta release.
But we couldn't see the download link to install it on Linux machines or VM. (Ubuntu or centos VM ). We want to install it on ubuntu machine and possible to view web UI on that machine.
EDIT(edit the question)
Is that possible to install only on Fedora ?
What are the complete steps to install kura on ubuntu or Centos ?
I believe the question was asked and answered here. To summarize, there is no generic installer for Ubuntu, Fedora, or CentOS. Kura has dependencies on both the OS and CPU architecture. The supported platforms are:
Raspberry Pi based on Raspbian: Raspberry Pi, Raspberry Pi B+,
Raspberry Pi 2/3
BeagleBone Black based on Debian
Fedora 25 ARM
Intel Edison
The "No Net" versions of the posted installers will remove most of the OS dependencies. For CPU architectures, if you are using something other than ARMv6 HF or x86_64, you will need to compile the native libraries. The minimum native library needed for Kura to start is udev.

Install MonoDevelop IDE for Redhat Linux

I am trying to install and configure MonoDevelop on my Oracle VM Virtual Box. The Operating System that running on the VM is RedHat Linux.
With the help of the below link, I have installed the mono-2.10.8 and also I was able to compile and run the sample c# source code on Linux through the shell.
Here
Now, I am trying to install or configure the IDE, please advise me for the good IDEs.
Thanks for your help
Installed Monodeveloper from the below link. I chose the Operating System as CentOS
MonoDevelop
This will also install mono-opt from the home:tpokorra repo
mono-opt is the latest stable version (3.6) on mono available from Mono Project
I found this way much easier for installing mono on redhat / centos 6

How to upgrade Qt installed in linux from one version to higher

While porting Qt project from windows to linux(ubuntu) i faced with the following issue:
on windows Qt version 4.8.1 is installed
on linux 4.6.3 in which some functionalities availiable in higer version 4.8.1 don`t yet implemented (ex. QUdpSocket::joinMultiCastGroup).
I see only one solution to this problem: upgrade Qt version on linux to 4.8.1.
How can I do this?
On linux I got installed libqt4-dev, qmake.
Solved: I changed repository from squeeze (stable) to wheezy(testing), in wheezy latest Qt version is 4.8.1, which is perfectly suits my needs.
Using package manager I found package libqt4-dev and selected it for update.
That is all, the whole process took 5 minutes.
Disadvantages:
- As I run Debian on Virtual Box after changing repository I had to reinstall guest additions
- wheezy is less stable than squeeze (I haven`t faced yet with stablilty problem)
I guess you can use Upgrade option in the Qt Creator.
Or you can download latest version from Download Qt, the cross-platform application framework
Or you could try to update using something like apt-get install(upgrade) libqt4-dev if you using Debian based system.
This depends on the distro you are using. If there are binary packages for your distro you can update through your package manager. Otherwise you have to download the source of your prefered Qt version and build it yourself.
I'm not sure if this will help in your situation, but you can download the Qt Online Installer at the following link:
