I am using an application on Linux, Ubuntu that originally was on Windows. I am missing opengl header files that I had access to with the Windows 10 SDK.

Which linux version supports node js on windows 7

I am a windows 7 user and want to download npm and nodejs.
I have tried to install node js on windows 7 but it is not supported.
So, is there any linux version that can be downloaded on windows 7 and supports npm and nodejs ?
Or if anyone can tell any other way to download npm and nodejs on my pc.
And, I cannot upgrade my operating system.
I think you are a bit confused, Linux cannot be installed on Windows (there's the subsystem on Windows 10, but that's different), as Linux is a kernel that is usually paired with the GNU operating system, in practice, this means Linux is used as an operating system, and cannot be installed on Windows.
Installing Linux on your computer would mean deleting Windows.
What you can do, if you can't uninstall Windows, is create a virtual machine running Debian (a popular Linux distribution) using VirtualBox, you'd need to get a Debian ISO and create a virtual machine with it.
Once you install it, you can run sudo apt install npm nodejs inside a terminal to install Node.js and npm.
You don't have to use Debian, I suggested it because I personally like it for servers, but you can use Ubuntu, Fedora, Manjaro or any other distribution.
EDIT:
I did some further reading and found this tutorial, in which is shown how to install Node.js on Windows 7, by installing the LTS release 13.14.0.

Cannot upgrade libc6, "Already newest version"

I have recently installed Linux Mint on a new machine and I am trying to download virtual box.
The problem is it won't download because of this error:
Error: Dependency is not satisfiable: libc6 (>=2.27)
When I run:
sudo apt-get install libc6
It tells me
libc6 is already the newest version (2.23-0ubuntu10).
When I update the cache of my software sources I get the message that it could not download all repository indexes so I assume it might be related to that but I have no idea how to fix it.
Sometimes it happens when you try to run the wrong version (build) of the application in your system.
As an example, the current Virtualbox version is 6.1.22. And I download it for the Ubuntu 19.10 / 20.04 / 20.10 / 21.04 host because there is no separate download link available for Linux Mint distribution. But my Linux Mint distribution is 19.3 cinnamon and Mint 19.3 is based on Ubuntu 18.04 LTS. So, the Virtualbox version which is built for Ubuntu 20.04, 20.10, 21.04 is not going to work for the distribution which is using Ubuntu 18.04. This is the reason for getting ( Error: Dependency is not satisfiable: libc6 (>=2.29) ) error.
When I downloaded the Virtualbox which is particularly built for Ubuntu 18.04 everything worked fine :)
For more clarity watch this video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1K2zx32tBwA
OR, just download the VirtualBox from the Software Center. that will work fine too.
I couldn't solve the issue but I managed to download virtual box through the software manager.

Ubuntu unable to install .Net Core

I just installed Ubuntu 16.04 on virtual machine and trying to install .Net core.
I have followed following link for Installing .Net Core on Ubuntu
I tried to install package but it's failing.
Here is snapshot please check it once.
After installing Ubuntu 16.04 i found that .Net core is still not supported in 16.04 and maximum support is provide is up to 15.10.
Ubuntu - Installing .net core
Why there is no note on Installing .Net core in Ubuntu page about what version of Ubuntu should be used?
Is it correct that .Net Core is still not supported in Ubuntu 16.04? Is there any way to resolve this?
As far as I know, there is no package available for dotnet on Ubuntu 16.04. But you can build it yourself by cloning the dotnet/cli repository and then following this guide.
Doing that seems to work for me on Ubuntu 16.04.
Documentation has been updated.
And now Installing .NetCore on linux provides separate command that can be used to install .NetCore on Ubuntu 16.04.
Please check it once.

How to uninstall MPICH in linux (Ubuntu)?

I have manually downloaded and installed MPICH from MPICH.org using the cookbook starting from section 2.2. But now I want to remove it. Does anybody have an idea how to uninstall it correctly, so I can reinstall another version? I have googled but have not found an answer that I can use.
"sudo apt-get remove mpich" doesn't remove the manually installed version.
My OS is Linux Mint 17.1, and the mpich version is 3.2
I don't think I can use this thread Ubuntu 12.04 and MPICH performance

Installation of latest nodejs 0.10.29 on windows server 2003

I have downloaded the latest installables of node.js from http://nodejs.org/download/
I want to install the Node on Windows Server 2003, but it alerts me that the 'installation package does not supported by this processor type".
Could anyone help me, what am i missing?
On the download page there are 32-bit and 64-bit installation packages. You can't install the 64-bit package on a processor which only supports 32-bit. Find out your processor type and install the correct package. I assume it's an old computer, so most likely you will need the 32-bit package.
