I am trying to develop a GUI application on a Beaglebone Black (BBB) using PyQt, but I don't know if it is necessary to install this application on the BBB or if I can do it using a remote application such as VMware (Ubuntu). I investigated and found out that PyQt is already installed on the latest Debian image for the BBB, so I tried to install this application by using the command line sudo apt-get install PyQt4, but I receive a message saying "this file was not found".
Is installing this program on the BBB the best option, or is it better doing it remotely with VMware? Thanks in advance.
Install putty on your local machine, then you can SSH to the BBB using address 192.168.7.2 if you are powering it via USB from your system. And then start anything you want to do on BBB
Try the following command to install:
sudo apt-get install python3-pyqt4
Use apt-cache search PyQt4 to list all available packages related to PyQt and select the exact package(s) you want to install. You must install the basic package on the BBB board if you want your application to run on the BBB board directly. If your application is a web client (communicates with the BBB board by socket), you can install the application anywhere you want.

I was trying to install vs code on Chromebook with Linux but i get it off the website and go into the file and it says "apt is not install able" and things like it for about five rows of text I hope someone knows the answer.
Try beginning with sudo apt install as opposed to apt install. Linux can be wishy washy when it comes to installs in the terminal.
I wanted to post this because I didn't find the answer elsewhere and this might just help someone else.
I have Slack installed on my Ubuntu 18.04 Bionic Beaver via FlatPak and would like to have it launch as soon as I login.
Because it is installed via FlatPak, I cannot find it in /usr/share/applications in order to add it to startup applications
You need to install FlatPak applications via Gnome Tweaks. If you haven't already installed Gnome tweaks then run
sudo apt install gnome-tweaks
Launch Gnome Tweaks and navigate to "Startup Applications".
The flatPak applications are easily found from here.
You could add an entry to your .gnomerc, .Xinitrc etc such as
snap run (program)
I want to develop with Lazarus on Raspberry Pi, but until now I can't.
Here I've read this:
In the Raspbian OS it is easy to install Lazarus and Free Pascal. In order to do this simply open a terminal window and type:
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get upgrade
sudo apt-get install fpc
sudo apt-get install lazarus
I've tryed to install FPC for Linux ARM, but the installer didn't work.
Moreover I dont't know where to get Lazarus for Linux ARM.
It seems that Lazarus and FPC for Linux are target to x86/x64 and not fot ARM.
Can someone help me where can I download one single bundled of binaries (Lazarus + FPC) that install out of the box (without the need of source compilation) in the same way as the Windows version?
Another question: is that possible to cross-compile from Windows to Raspbian?
I've done cross-compilations many times but between other OSs.
Thank you
If you use the shell commands from above (those that begin with "sudo apt-get") you don't have to install anything in addition. Lazarus and FPC should be readily installed and available from the "Programming" section of the LXDE start menu.
Need GUI to run qemu on Ubuntu server: I need to run QEMU for ARM on a Ubuntu srever. THis QEmu is not supporting a text mode, so I need to install GUI software on Ubuntu server 13.04. Please suggest any that I can do a sudo apt-get install and get started quickly.
Are you connecting to the server over ssh? You could just use X forwarding to your local machine.
See the very good first answer here.
Then you can just start the software and interact with the GUI on a computer that already has the desktop environment installed.
You can do the following
sudo apt-get install ubuntu-desktop

I'm using CentOS 4.8 , i386.
I would appreciate if any one can help me to install Gnome (or any other GUI) while there is no yum available.
I tried to install yum but since It's a company's server with many things installed on it,
I faced with many problems.
However I decided to find a way to install Gnome without using yum
And please take note:
I'm a neophyte!
Did you try getting the source-code and building it manually?
You can get the code from
http://www.gnome.org/getting-gnome/
GNOME also provides a build tool to make the installation easier.
But, as it has already been pointed out - Servers are best managed over command line. It will give you more power and control over what you are doing.
