This is my last post for my Ubuntu 20.10 install. Below is my notes for installing all of the programming-related apps and tools that I like to have available.
Youtube-dl doesn’t work
I installed Youtube-dl on my new Ubuntu 20.10, but I failed to test it. On my first download, it didn’t work. I got this:
$ youtube-dl https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NAa088SDn9E
NAa088SDn9E: Downloading webpage
NAa088SDn9E: Downloading embed webpage
ERROR: Unable to extract JS player URL; please report this issue on https://yt-dl.org/bug . Make sure you are using the latest version; see https://yt-dl.org/update on how to update. Be sure to call youtube-dl with the --verbose flag and include its complete output.
Ubuntu 20.10: Essentials and Productivity
This article is part of my notes on installing Ubuntu 20.10. Each new version I reinstall from scratch and try to get the perfect setup.
On my previous article, I walked through the base OS installation. It has screenshots of what I selected as I went through the installer. This article will focus on getting my files back and installing essential applications.
Ubuntu 20.10: Groovy Gorilla Install
It’s been a while since I’ve included the actual install process itself in my notes. This is what works for me, and I’ll try to explain why at each step.
I try to do a fresh install on my laptop each version of Ubuntu that comes out (every 6 months). This keeps my laptop clean and keeps me on my toes with my backups. This article contains my notes for this install. The following articles will have the steps I take to get everything just right.
Sound: Dummy Output
I’ve had this issue where my sound messes up. It seems to happen mostly when I have the Android emulator open. As you see below, I only have the option of using the headset plugged in through my docking station. The laptop speakers are not in the list. If I were to unplug the docking station, I would get “Dummy Output” in the list.
Flutter: Adding Linux App
I saw a flurry of articles on Google Now and OMG Ubuntu about Flutter adding the ability to compile to native Linux apps. Since I have been playing with Flutter, I decided to give it a try. I won’t duplicate what they have written. Instead, this article is my notes on enabling my app to work natively on Linux.
Ubuntu 20.04: Programming Tools
The primary purpose of my laptop is programming and building things. I like to dabble in all kinds of things, but most of them are programming related. This is part of my series with my notes setting up Ubuntu 20.04 of my laptop.
Ubuntu 20.04: Tweaking
This is part of my series installing Ubuntu 20.04 of my laptop. These are my notes for the different tweaks and utilities that didn’t really fit in any other category.
