The instructions enable Ubuntu 22.04’s multiverse repository, update the package index, and then install the official steam-installer package, which automatically pulls the necessary 32‑bit libraries and places the client in /usr/games. After launching Steam once it self‑updates, creates its configuration directories, and may require installing libgl1-mesa-dri:i386 (or the equivalent NVIDIA driver) if OpenGL errors appear. An optional section shows how to add a PPA for the bleeding‑edge steam-beta build and enable the beta channel from within Steam for newer Vulkan support. Finally, common troubleshooting tips cover missing graphics libraries, encrypted home issues, and network manager restarts to ensure a smooth first run.

The guide shows how to get VidCutter running on Ubuntu 20.04 in just a few minutes, stressing its lightweight design and ability to cut clips at the frame level without re‑encoding. It walks through updating the system, installing ffmpeg, then using either apt or Flatpak to install the app, noting that the repository version is slightly older but adequate for most tasks while Flatpak delivers newer features sooner. Troubleshooting advice covers common problems such as missing ffmpeg, preview issues, and crashes with large files, recommending alternative installation routes when necessary. Finally, it suggests exporting a small segment to confirm playback in VLC or another player, encouraging users to trim long videos quickly without overburdening their machine.
The article explains how to fetch .deb packages with apt-get download so the files sit in a folder without touching the system. It outlines common reasons like needing a package after a broken driver update or wanting to save bandwidth for later installation, and shows that downloading avoids pulling dependencies automatically. After installation you can retrieve the original package from /var/cache/apt/archives via dpkg -L and also list dependencies with apt-cache depends before downloading each one separately if needed. Finally it reminds readers to clear the cache with sudo apt-get clean when they’re done to free space while keeping any manually copied files safe.
LightZone, a free non‑destructive RAW editor that many users find refreshing compared to GIMP or Lightroom, isn’t included in Ubuntu’s default repositories but can be installed on Ubuntu 20.04 with a handful of commands. First you update your system and install build essentials, image libraries, Qt5 tools and CMake—any missing dependency will cause the compilation to choke. After cloning the latest source from GitHub you build it in a dedicated directory with CMake, run make using all CPU cores for speed, then install, and if Qt header errors appear you’ll need qttools5‑dev‑tools or an explicit override of the default Qt4 requirement. Finally launch LightZone to confirm the splash screen appears; if it crashes you can debug with LD_DEBUG, and for convenience create a desktop launcher so you can start the editor from your application menu on Ubuntu 20.04.
The guide outlines four command‑line methods for installing the official Telegram Desktop client on Ubuntu 22.04 LTS: using APT from Ubuntu’s default repository, installing the Snap package, pulling the Flatpak from Flathub, and downloading the portable binary tarball directly from Telegram’s website. Each approach is presented with the exact commands needed, along with brief notes on integration (APT), sandboxing (Snap and Flatpak), or manual update control (portable binary). The author highlights the trade‑offs—APT offers seamless system updates, Snap provides confinement but can suffer breakage after refreshes, Flatpak delivers newer builds while keeping system libraries untouched, and the tarball gives full version control at the cost of automatic upgrades. By following any of these four procedures, users can get a functional Telegram client on a fresh Jammy installation quickly.
The guide explains how to replace Ubuntu 22.04’s default snap‑based Firefox with a native deb from Mozilla’s PPA (Firefox Next/Beta) or the ultra‑cutting‑edge Nightly tarball. First you add Mozilla’s signing key and repository, update apt, then install the “firefox” package which now pulls the beta .deb; you can verify the version with firefox --version. For Nightly you download the official tar.bz2 archive into /opt, extract it, rename the folder to firefox‑nightly, and create a desktop entry so it appears in the application menu. Finally, the article shows how to remove the snap package (snap remove firefox) and keep Nightly up‑to‑date by periodically replacing the /opt/firefox‑nightly directory with a fresh download.
This guide shows how to install the up‑to‑date Element desktop client on a clean Debian 11 Bullseye system by adding Matrix.org’s official APT repository instead of using the outdated version from Debian’s default repos. You create /etc/apt/sources.list.d/matrix.list with the repository line, import the GPG key via curl … | gpg --dearmor -o /usr/share/keyrings/matrix-org-archive-keyring.gpg, then run sudo apt update && sudo apt install element-desktop to pull Element and all required dependencies. After installation you launch element‑desktop, configure your homeserver (e.g., matrix.org or a self‑hosted URL), and optionally enable “Run at startup” in the app’s settings. Because the external repo is now registered, future apt upgrade commands will automatically keep Element current without needing snaps, Flatpaks, or manual tarballs.
When you try to import an OVF built with VMX‑12 into an ESXi host that only goes up to hardware version 11, the client will flag an “Unsupported hardware family vmx-12” error because the host simply doesn’t understand those newer features.
The article teaches you how to spot the mismatch by opening the .ovf file and looking for a tag, then offers three ways to get past it—editing the file yourself, using ovftool with a downgrade flag, or upgrading the host to ESXi 7.x.
If the guest OS actually needs VMX‑12 features, you can create a fresh VM on an up‑to‑date host, attach the existing disk, and reinstall or upgrade the guest inside, or import onto a newer host first and then export back to the older one if that’s unavoidable.
A quick checklist of steps—verify the version tag, check your ESXi version, backup the source folder, and test with a small VM—is paired with a real‑world anecdote showing how a single line change can save hours of troubleshooting for teams stuck on legacy infrastructure.
This quick guide walks you through setting up Gaucho on a fresh Ubuntu 20.04 machine, starting with installing Git, Go, and the build tools that the program needs to compile. After pulling the source from GitHub it explains why cloning is necessary instead of an apt package and gives clear commands for building a statically linked binary with Go and placing it in /usr/local/bin. The article also shows how to confirm the installation by running gaucho --help and notes typical pitfalls such as missing Go, conflicting libraries, or permission issues on the bin directory. In short, once you follow these steps you’ll have a fully functional native Gaucho binary ready for use across your system.
