My question is related to my grade project. Its about mobile video transmission using DVB-H link layer. Its a comprehensive project itself, and there are separate parts. I mainly construct system in Matlab Simulink, but there is one part, responsible for encapsulation/decapsulation of the stream packet, which was designed in Linux environment.
I didn't want to install new OS just for one application, so I run Linux on VMware Player as a virtual machine. So here is my problem - the applications (for encapsulation and decapsulation) won't compile (install) completely. I see mainly missing library problems. I tried to install necessary libraries, but the original application still couldn't see some of them. I feel like I'm missing something small, but clear to rather experienced Linux user. Here is the link to the programs
http://sp.cs.tut.fi/mobile3dtv/download/
"DECAPS - DVB-H Decapsulator Software" is the one (and FATCAPS link is there).
I couldn't find alternative encapsulator/decapsulator in for Windows environment. Its my last and only choice. If please some of the Linux users could try to run them in Linux environment, maybe its because I'm using virtual machine? Its also noted that the application was designed for Debian based systems, but I also did install Debian as a virtual machine and application won't even configure. Please help, guys, I'm really stuck here.
You'll probably need to install the development versions of the libraries -- under Debian, the'll be named the same as the original package, but with a "-dev" suffix.

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.

Is there like some sort of Linux layer for macOS? I've seen some projects that can only run on Linux because they require the Linux kernel to work. Something like Cygwin maybe.
Thanks
I haven't come across any Linux-on-macOS system other than full virtualisation with software such as VMWare Fusion, Parallels, VirtualBox, or xhyve.
macOS does implement (most of) POSIX; it also shares some of the BSDs' APIs such as kqueue/kevent, plus of course a bunch of custom user-kernel APIs, some of them inherited from Mach. There's also an X11 implementation. (although the results are rarely particularly attractive) A lot of Linux kernel APIs do have macOS equivalents, even if they're not identical. You should be able to port many (most?) projects which currently only work on Linux to the Mac; the amount of effort involved will of course vary. It'll usually be easier if it already works on a BSD.
You'll need to be more specific to get a more specific answer.

How do I install, to my Linux laptop, a software project hosted on GitHub? I am not attempting to set up a project/repository myself. My intention is to download a project, in order to use/execute it. What is the name of this process? How is it done? If it helps, I am trying to install the command line interface for Last Pass. Their instructions seem to only assist me with downloading the dependencies. Downloading the zip file just provides a folder filed with random files. I am used to installers, so perhaps I am missing some steps that would aid my understanding.
This is off-topic for StackOverflow, as it's not about programming. It also has nothing to do with git, you just got the files from github, but git has nothing to do with installing it.
The first thing you should do is check if the software is available already from your Linux distribution, using the system's software management tools. Installing it from there will be simpler and will mean the software gets updated automatically in future.
If it isn't packaged by your distro, and the project don't provide binaries, then you may need to build the software yourself. Among the files you cloned from github should be a README or INSTALL file with instructions on building and installing it.
Typically this involves running a configure script, or maybe cmake, to set up the build process correctly for your computer, then running make and make install.
Depending whether you want to install it just for your user or system-wide you might need to run the configuration step with an option specifying where to install to.
Depending on the programming language used you might need to install some additional tools, such as a compiler and linker. These will definitely be available from your distro's software management tool.

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 a Windows 7 user and now I want to use linux. However I am beginner for linux. Currently I have linux mint in a usb and load it from there. The problem is, it doesn't save stuff like everytime I have to enter my wifi password, or change the default search to google, etc etc. Now I am thinking of installing ubuntu alongside windows. Now after googling a little I realized that I can do it in 2 ways: Using a windows installer, or Using something called a virtual box. My question is, which option should I choose and why? What is a virtual box anyway? Also, is this the right link? I need the 64 bit version. Shall I choose the first one?
virtual box allows you to run an OS over the one you are currently working in. You must download virtual box for windows those links are for linux,ubuntu etc.. You might wanna use http://dlc.sun.com.edgesuite.net/virtualbox/4.3.6/VirtualBox-4.3.6-91406-Win.exe link instead.
The issue with a virtual machine is that it is running your native OS and another "virtual" OS; as you can imagine, this can be slow. Booting up your virtual OS also takes longer seeing as you functionally need to boot two OSs rather than one.
In terms of dual booting (installing an OS alongside your native OS -- in this case Windows), the resultant OS typically will run faster and won't be bogged down as much. If you have a lot of RAM you might not notice the speed loss though. That being said, it is much easier to install multiple virtual machines than it is to install multiple OSs; your hard drive won't be chaotically partitioned since virtual machines don't need separate partitions.
