I recently installed Arch Linux in my virtual box and then installed kde plasma on it by using the following command-
pacman -S plasma
When I rebooted after enabling sddm, the desktop environment did not have Konsole, dolphin, etc.
Is there a way to return to the CLI without resetting the VM?
You can switch to tty via ctrl+alt+F<1-7>.
Normally the plasma Environment runs either on ctrl+alt+F1 or ctrl+alt+F7 so try 2-6!
Once you press Ctrl+Alt+F2 and logged in type the command below
sudo pacman -S konsole
This will install Konsole 19.04.3-1-x86_64
Then you wont have to always use the Ctrl+Alt+F2 method. Also Ctrl+Alt+F1 will take you back to your GUI.
Hope this helps

I am attempting to install JetBrains Rider on an Ubuntu Linux system using snap.
I use the following commands:
sudo apt update
sudo apt install snapd
sudo snap install rider --classic
It looks like it installs correctly.
I can seem to to figure how to actually start Rider.
How do I run Rider after it's been installed via snap.
Is snap the best way to install?
Enter the command snap run rider in the terminal and hit enter.
A first time installer will run letting you specify Rider customisation and other defaults.
Subsequently you can enter the command /snap/bin/rider in the terminal and hit enter.
Alternatively, create a Rider menu item by running the following command cp /var/lib/snapd/desktop/applications/rider_rider.desktop ~/.local/share/applications/
You will then also have the option to right click and "Add to panel"
Update: Adding /snap/bin to your path (the fact it is missing I suspect is a snap bug) will also fix this issue.
I opened up ~/.bashrc and added the following line at the bottom PATH=/snap/bin:$PATH
Saved and reloaded the file by executing source .bashrc
Now I can load rider from any bash terminal by simply entering rider and hitting enter.
I'm using Debian buster btw.

It's my first time trying to install and using Arch linux, I was trying to install it in VirtualBox in Mac Os mojave, when i did arch-chroot /mnt(after all the configuration), then tried to nano /etc/locale.conf it just printed command not found.
I've already tried with vim or other commands like sudo or apt to install a plain text editor but it's always the same and I also tried twice but nothing changes.
PLEEAAASE, I need help.
In Archlinux you should use pacman -S to install packages
try this :
"pacman -S nano"
you can see more information here:
https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/pacman#Installing_packages
You can install it with the Linux kernel etc.
For installing the kernel you use
pacstrap
so just add nano, vim or whatever text-editor you like to use.

I am using windows and didn't wanted to switch to linux. I still wanted to learn it so I downloaded ubuntu subsystem for windows. It works fine and I can also execute linux commands on it. But the problem is I can't check my pip version using "pip --version" command also I can't access nodejs . It says that node isn't recognized. But it is working fine on my cmd windows terminal. How can I make it work ? Do I really have to download all these packages again after running "sudo apt update" command.
Yes, you have to download all these packages again for Ubuntu-WSL. That is because WSL is not compatible with windows executable, just like Ubuntu is supposed to be.

I'm trying to get onto the xfce4 client from my chromebook (and it has worked before), however now this error is popping up. How do I fix this error?
My guess is you may not have the right user privileges. According to the error message you provided you are running an Ubuntu Linux environment.
If you haven't tried running the program through the terminal yet, attempt to do so.
The terminal can typically be opened by the key combination Ctrl+Alt+T on ubuntu linux.
Try using sudo command before running the program. This will run the command you enter using root privileges.
For example, if running the program on your terminal is
myName#ubuntu: xfce4
And this encounters an error, try to use sudo beforehand like so:
myName#ubuntu: sudo xfce4
Alternatively you can log in and not have to type sudo before every command.
myName#ubuntu: sudo bash
password:
If this fails you may need to update the package that contains the library. This can be done on the terminal in a fashion similar to:
myName#ubuntu: sudo apt-get install --only-upgrade xfce4
