I want to install 3rd party software that requires libgfortran3. I have a fresh install of Debian 10 (Buster). On Buster only libgfortran4 and higher is available, how can I install libgfortran3 without getting complaints from apt?

In order to install matplotlib in Debian 9 should I issue
sudo apt-get install python3-matplotlib
or
pip3 install matplotlib?
What is the preferred way? Let me add more detail.
'man pip3' says
pip is a Python package installer, recommended for installing Python
packages which are not available in the Debian archive.
matplotlib confirms this
To install Matplotlib at the system-level, we recommend that you use
your distribution's package manager. This will guarantee that
Matplotlib's dependencies will be installed as well.
According to this I shall run apt-get. However, I had a similar case with numpy. 'import numpy' worked after 'pip3 install numpy'.
Using
Debian GNU/Linux 9.6 (stretch)
$ python3 -V
Python 3.5.3
The key quote from man pip3 is:
recommended for installing Python packages which are not available in the Debian archive.
You can check whether a package is available in the Debian archive by issuing an apt search command, eg.
apt search matplotlib
If your system already has all the necessary dependencies then installing a package with pip will work (as you experienced with pip install numpy).
If you do not have the necessary dependencies your distribution’s package manager will install them automatically. However, this is not true of pip: you would need to resolve any dependency issues manually. In the case of matplotlib, you can find a list of the dependencies you'd need to install manually here.
Essentially, using your system package manager to install a package takes away the extra work of ensuring you have all the necessary dependencies for that package.
pip comes into its own if you desire to work with virtual environments.
I installed Cuda on My Ubuntu 18.04(Dual Boot with windows 10) using the following Commands
sudo add-apt-repository ppa:graphics-drivers/ppa
sudo apt update
sudo ubuntu-drivers autoinstall
Then ReBooted my Computer.
sudo apt install nvidia-cuda-toolkit gcc-6
Then verified the installation using
nvcc --version
which nvcc
Both worked well without any errors. After few days I wanted verify it completely when I entered these 2 commands
sudo modprobe nvidia
nvidia-smi
which gave me this error respectively
modprobe: ERROR: could not insert 'nvidia': Required key not available
NVIDIA-SMI has failed because it couldn't communicate with the NVIDIA driver. Make sure that the latest NVIDIA driver is installed and running.
Now I am unable to understand if Cuda is properly installed or not. I am also unable to find Cuda-9.0 in "usr" file inside ubuntu. I need this so that I can work with tensorflow-gpu (Python3).
Thank you in Advance.
Apparently, the "required key not available" message is a typical (side-)effect of the "secure boot" feature of newer Linux kernels (EFI_SECURE_BOOT_SIG_ENFORCE); and you may be able to get around it by Disabling Secure Boot in your UEFI BIOS.
See this AskUbuntu question for details:
Why do I get “Required key not available” when install 3rd party kernel modules or after a kernel upgrade?
What does the yum and -y means
yum install httpd -y
new to fedora. please guide me.
the above code will install Apache server in fedora
yum is a software package manager that installs, updates, and removes packages on RPM-based systems. It automatically computes dependencies and figures out what things should occur to install packages. yum makes it easier to maintain groups of machines without having to manually update each one using rpm.
-y means that we did't want to gave yes to install any package (here httpd)
httpd installs apache web server
Thanks for Support and advice
I'm trying to install libQt5Core from an rpm and I get:
Error: nothing provides libicui18n.so.52.1()(64bit) needed by libQt5Core5-5.5.1-4.1.x86_64
There is newer version:
dnf whatprovides libicui18n*
Last metadata expiration check performed 0:00:14 ago on Fri Jan 29 13:58:14 2016.
libicu-54.1-5.fc23.x86_64 : International Components for Unicode - libraries
Repo : #System
Where do you install the libQt5Core from? The official repositories should not require packages versions that are not available.
Don't use that RPM to install the QT 5 core libraries. I'm guessing that you have a package for openSUSE (because that's what comes up when I Google for "libQt5Core rpm"). In Fedora, the package you want is qt5-qtbase. Install that with:
sudo dnf install qt5-qtbase
It happens that our version in Fedora 23 is also version 5.5.1, so I think that'll be what you really need here.
If you're doing software development, you might want to pull in the KDE Frameworks 5 development group, which is mostly QT stuff and which will get you set up for building programs against that, which might be what you're trying to do:
sudo dnf groupinstall kf5-software-development
I just installed graphite on OSX, and managed to get the web app running this command:
python /opt/graphite/bin/run-graphite-devel-server.py /opt/graphite
I'll eventually move it to ubuntu, but in the mean time, some fonts are enormous:
Any thoughts on how to fix this?
I chased this down to an issue with the newest version of cairo. I removed cairo and installed 1.12.6. I posted the instructions here gist.github.com/relaxdiego/7539911
Its the cairocffi that handles the fonts and other display parameters. Sometimes installing only cairo doesn't work. In the above case you should always troubleshoot by ensuring proper and complete installation of the cairocffi package. By complete I mean all the dependencies for cairocffi.
The frequently required are:
1. libffi-devel (for rpm based operating systems)
sudo yum install libffi-devel
2. libffi-dev (for debian based operating systems)
sudo apt-get install libffi-dev
3. parse_lookup
sudo pip install parse_lookup
This is the Github page for cairocffi.
