fatal error: curl/curl.h: No such file or directory
If you’re missing the curl/curl.h header file, chances are you’re just missing the correct dev package file for the curl library.
sudo apt-get install libcurl4-gnutls-dev
That should fix it.

If you’re trying out the latest version of Ubuntu, 12.04 or Precise Pangolin and you want to keep your old /home partition, chances are you’ve come across the installation hanging on a process “Removing conflicting operating system files…”. No worries, this seems to be a common bug and there’s a pretty easy work around. Continue with the installation, without asking for the /home partition to be mounted. Only set the root partition (/) and your swap space. Once the installation is complete, reboot and load it up. Now, you’ll want to find the partition that /home is mounted under, this will likely be /dev/sdxN, where x is the drive letter and N is the partition number (i.e mine is located under /dev/sda5). If you’re unsure, you can list the possible drives using the following command: ls /dev/ | grep sd
And then you can mount each drive under in a temp directory and check what’s in there: mkdir temp
mount /dev/sda1 temp
Once you know which partition you want, it’s time to edit your /etc/fstab/ sudo gedit /etc/fstab
For those who don’t go digging around in the config files of linux, this may look pretty daunting, but it isn’t. All you really need to do is add a new line to mount your home partition. Here’s mine: /dev/sda5 /home/ ext4 defaults 1 2
The first part is the partition that’s being used, next what the partition is. Next is the file system type. Followed by default options and then the dump and pass values. Once you’ve saved this file with the appended line, reboot your system. Now you should find your old home partition is mounted normally and you can get on with your install. ./blender

Download and install the associated package to your processor from here : https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/oneiric/+package/python-openal Restart your computer and the issue should now be resolved. During installing the OpenNi kinect drivers, found here: https://github.com/OpenNI/OpenNI, I came across this error:
To fix it, simply install the following package: sudo apt-get install mono-complete
Once finished, re-make and make install and everything should be dandy! If you’re getting a similar error to this while trying to compile java files (.jar) then you’re probably missing the jdk, in ubuntu it’s called “sun-java6-jdk” so just go ahead and install that and all should be good!
FIX: sudo apt-get install sun-java6-jdk
After installing Steam on my linux machine in wine I noticed a really annoy bug, the windows of steam are tiled across my screen as shown in the screenshot below. Fix:I managed to fix this by opening up the ‘Configure Wine’ program that comes with wine and under the Applications tab switching from Windows XP mode to Windows 7, this fixed this bug and I now also have system borders on the steam windows.
Installing Wine:If you’re interested in getting steam installed I used this guide - https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UbuntuMagazine/HowTo/InstallingSteam – It’s pretty simple and only takes a few minutes to do. Below is a quick, simple breakdown of what that guide says to do. Download wine: sudo apt-get install wine
Download the steam installer from here: http://www.steampowered.com/v/index.php Copy over the tahoma.ttf font from a Windows install (or Download it here – http://source.winehq.org/source/fonts/tahoma.ttf ). Do this command from the folder you downloaded the font to. cp tahoma.ttf ~/.wine/drive_c/windows/fonts/
(If it doesn’t work and says the folder is missing or somthing like that do the following and then re-do the cp) mkdir ~/.wine/drive_c/windows/fonts/
Finally install Steam (Do this command in the directory you downloaded the Steam installer to): msiexec /i SteamInstall.msi
In GNOME 3 it seems that the keyboard shortcut to delete a file in Nautilus is actually Ctrl+Delete, this is fine I guess if it’s trying to stop people accidentally deleting files or something but it’s pretty annoying. To change the keyboard shortcut from Ctrl+Delete back to the usual Delete do the following: Open a terminal and type: dconf-editor
If you don’t have it, install it the usual way. In the application that just opened, on the sidebar click: org > gnome > desktop > interface
And check the box entitled: can-change-accels.
Now, leave this window open and open up Nautilus. Select a file that you want deleting and then click on Edit in the Nautilus menu, hover over the Move To Trash button and here press the button you wish to assign to the action, so for example Delete. You may have to press it twice (the first time it will remove the old key-binding and the second will assign it the new one.)
Go back to dconf-editor and uncheck the can-change-accels option to stop any other keyboard shortcuts being changed and you’re all done!
After installing dropbox from the RPM package availble on the site on a new Fedora 15 install, I was unable to use yum without coming across this error: $ update
Loaded plugins: langpacks, presto, refresh-packagekit

For some unknown reason dropbox repos dont seem to work past 13 so you’ll need to change the dropbox.repo file from detecting the current release to 13 like so: Open the dropbox.repo file: sudo gedit /etc/yum.repos.d/dropbox.repo
Change the baseurl from $relesever to 13 like so: Original: [Dropbox]
name=Dropbox Repository
baseurl=http://linux.dropbox.com/fedora/$releasever/
gpgkey=http://linux.dropbox.com/fedora/rpm-public-key.asc
New: [Dropbox]
name=Dropbox Repository
baseurl=http://linux.dropbox.com/fedora/13/
gpgkey=http://linux.dropbox.com/fedora/rpm-public-key.asc
Save and close and everything should be working, try using sudo yum update to check and the error should have gone away. If not give a reboot a try.
Remove wicd: sudo pacman -R wicd
Re-update the system: sudo pacman -Syu
Re-install wicd (and wicd-gtk gui if you want that too) sudo pacman -Sy wicd wicd-gtk
If you’re getting the following error while trying export a video under several different codecs in OpenShot including AVI, MOV and MPEG using (mpeg2, mpeg4 or h.264) chances are this might help you with that error.
This is a simple fix:
