Answer : Analysis The WineHQ repository misses the dependencies for wine-stable package. I have reported a bug 48513 to WineHQ bugzilla. The main problem here is bad documentation, which is written in non-reproducible way. The Rosanne DiMesio's main idea is "People who don't bother to read the directions are always going to have problems.". So we need to write our own documentation until WineHQ-officials become smarter. The problem with dependencies was caused by the FAudio dependency, which is not contained in Debian/Ubuntu and WineHQ repositories. We can determine the exact package name by using command below and analyzing of their output: $ sudo apt-get install wine-stable-amd64 Reading package lists... Done Building dependency tree Reading state information... Done Some packages could not be installed. This may mean that you have requested an impossible situation or if you are using the unstable distribution that some required packages have not y...

Answer : Check your $PATH variable by executing in a Terminal: echo $PATH The output should be very similar to this: /usr/local/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/bin:/sbin:/bin:/usr/games:/usr/local/games:/snap/bin:/usr/share/rvm/bin You have to verify if /snap/bin is included in this $PATH , otherwise you have to add it manually, here is how to do it: How do I modify my PATH so that the changes are available in every Terminal session. If this doesn't work, try deleting and installing again the snap, the required commands are: Execute sudo snap list to verify if Spotify is installed. Use sudo snap remove spotify to delete it. Use sudo snap install spotify to re-install it again. After installing it you can run the command which spotify to see if it is recognized now. Hope it helps, good luck! The solution is simple. Log out and log back in again. Same thing happened to me. It was the first time I had installed a snap app, and I expect that the $PATH...

Answer : The main difference between main Ubuntu, Xubuntu, Kubuntu, and Lubuntu is the Desktop Environment. You can install one of these DEs onto your system with the following commands: Ubuntu: sudo apt-get install ubuntu-desktop Kubuntu: sudo apt-get install kubuntu-desktop Xubuntu: sudo apt-get install xubuntu-desktop Lubuntu: sudo apt-get install lubuntu-desktop Ubuntu GNOME: sudo apt-get install ubuntu-gnome-desktop From Ubuntu 17.10 GNOME became the default desktop environment/shell/manager. So if you're running Ubuntu 17.10 forwards (including current 18.04), you can install the default desktop: $ sudo apt install ubuntu-desktop To remove any of these, run the command that you used to install but instead of install say purge (i.e., sudo apt-get purge kubuntu-desktop ). Then you also need to run this command to complete the remove: sudo apt-get autoremove --purge The autoremove command removes all the packages that were installed. The way t...
