What TUI did Ubuntu 18.04 Server installer use? - user-interface

Just tried to install Ubuntu 18.04 LTS Server, and found its TUI quite neat. What TUI lib did the installer use to display its UI?

The new Ubuntu Server installer (since 18.04) is Subiquity ("Ubiquity for servers"). It uses the urwid Python library for its interface.

How do I install Pterodacty local on my maschine

I am attempting to install the Pterodactyl Panel on my local machine for development designing purposes. I am running Windows 10 Pro.
From the Pterodactyl installation documentation page, Here are some OS that can run Pterodactyl:
Ubuntu 18.04, 20.04
CentOS 7, 8
Debian 9, 10, 11
And the way of installation is also mostly using the linux command. From here it can be concluded, maybe Pterodactyl can not be installed / running on Windows.
Try to use something like a vps or linux vm to run Pterodactyl, if it's just for development don't need to use too high specs.

QTCreator "Start debugging" hangs in WSL Ubuntu 18.04 LTS

I recently installed Ubuntu 18.04 LTS, for the Windows Subsystem For Linux (WSL).
I installed a large number of packages, including ubuntu-desktop, build-essential, qtcreator and a number of others.
QTCreator itself seems to work fine for the most part. I can compile projects and run them in both Debug and Release just fine.
However, when I try to enter "Start Debugging" in a debug release, it hangs indefinitely. Once started, "stop debugging" does not work anymore, and the only fix is to completely kill QTCreator and restart it. Same thing happens on a coworkers machine.
Is this a known limitation of WSL?
Emacs + GDB seems to fine for debugging, so it shouldn't be an issue with GDB which I believe QTCreator uses under the hood. (Though for various reasons, I still want QTCreator's debugger specifically)
Ubuntu 18.04 LTS
GDB is version (Ubuntu 8.1-0ubuntu3.2) 8.1.0.20180409-git
Windows 10 is build 1909
QTCreator is version 4.5.2, based on QT 5.9.5

$ sudo sh cuda_10.2.89_440.33.01_linux.run
SO anyone knows where I can find OpenCL library for Ubuntu 14.04 and how to use it locally.

is it possible to install openstack controller node in a ubuntu desktop OS

is it possible to install openstack controller node in a ubuntu desktop OS or is possible just to install it in a ubuntu server OS.
If is possible just for ubuntu server, how can i access to horizon dashboard ?
Yes - that is perfectly fine. I tend to run Ubuntu Server and install a Desktop on top, but simply running it on a Ubuntu Desktop distro works fine as well.
In the end you may need to install additional packages on Ubuntu Desktop.

Install headless Ubuntu server to VirtualBox on windows

I have recently started using VirtualBox to get my Linux environment rather than fully using Ubuntu. For me this works well. But recently i have realized that in the Ubuntu vm the only thing I use a lot is the terminal, mostly just because I need the Linux environment and not the full desktop.
So I tried installing Ubuntu server into a VM, which worked. But as soon as I reboot the machine, it fails after the system boot logo. After BIOS and where I would log on from the command line I simply get a black screen with a non blinking cursor. So I am never fully able to boot into the vbox.
I read up on the command line version, trying to run it headless and then connecting to it from demote desktop. after starting the vbox I am able to connect to the desktop and see the grub screen but after selecting Ubuntu I get that same non-blinking cursor.
So is this really possible? I tried cygwin but it never really felt adequate to me. I like and am very comfortable with the Ubuntu/Debian command line. How could I (if possible) accomplish this? I want to be bale to start up the VBox and get the full command line for that vbox session. Any ideas?
Ubuntu version: 10.10, VirtualBox v. 4.0.4 r70112 and I am on Windows 7 Ultimate.
You didn't mention the versions of Ubuntu and Virtualbox.
I failed twice to install full Ubuntu 10.10 over the latest VirtualBox 4.0.4 over Ubuntu (problems like those you describe), so I switched to Debian 6.0.
All you require to install Ubuntu headless is to install the server version, which you already did. If you get blank screens, tweak the ioapic settings in both VB and Ubuntu. Another tweak is to switch between IDE and SATA drivers for the main disk (the Grub in my non-virtualized Ubuntu hangs if there's USB media attached at boot time).
If you can run full Ubuntu on a VM, you can try downgrading it by removing the xserver-xorg package, or changing the default runlevel.
If all you want is a Linux consule, you can install Debian 6 without any GUI components.
