This happens when I try to install/update the Nvidia driver on my system using cuda_8.0.61.2_linux.

This could be caused by conflicting x11 libs. Some of you might also experience similar issue on a different or older version of Ubuntu.

I am trying to hook up my Raspberry Pi Zero W, running Raspberry Pi OS Lite, to a Raspberry Pi NoIR Camera Module V2. After running these commands:
sudo apt update
sudo apt upgrade
and enabling the camera in the raspi-config menu and rebooting per the Raspberry Pi documentation, when I run the command raspistill -v -o test.jpg according to the Raspbery {Pi documentation, I get the below error.
-bash: raspistill: command not found
The documentation says:
This probably means your update/upgrade failed in some way.
I tried it again. I ran update, upgrade commands, rebooted and enabled the camera in the raspi-config multiple times with no change in outcome.
raspistill has been replaced by libcamera.

I am following these instructions to install MongoDB 3.2.5 on Ubuntu 15.10:
https://docs.mongodb.org/manual/tutorial/install-mongodb-on-linux/#install-for-64-bit-linux
I am up to step 3:
Copy the extracted folder to the location from which MongoDB will run.
What location should MongoDB run from?
(Note: I believe this location should be different from where data is stored by defaut ie /data/db)
You are free to choose where you want to install MongoDB, but it is customary to install software into /opt when not installing software using the package manager (apt in case of Ubuntu).
Why aren't you following the guide for installing on Ubuntu - it's much simpler: https://docs.mongodb.org/manual/tutorial/install-mongodb-on-ubuntu/

I want to install Scipy on my shared hosting, I've got virtualenv setup with Python 2.7. So in order to install Scipy I need the gfortran installed on my server.

Thanks for your help
I have fixed the issue by installing Anaconda distribution as suggested by David Maust.
Steps are as below
Download the Anaconda distribution from here
Install Anaconda - "bash AnacondaX-X.X.X-Linux-x86_64.sh"
Setting up the path in .bashrc (in case if not done during the installation) - "export PATH="/home/your_username/your_anaconda_installed_path/bin:$PATH"
Starting the Anaconda virtual environment - "source your_anaconda_installed_path/bin/activate ~/your_anaconda_environment_name"

Chrome OS has vim preinstalled. I would like to add Emacs in terminal mode. I have not found any leads by searching the internet. My question is:
How I can Install software locally on Chrome OS?
ChromeOS is not derived from Ubuntu.
I don't think you can install any software on it unless it's a pure web app.
BTW, if you wish to have a nice editor to write code try cloud9 (or some other online editors/IDE that gives you powerful options to develop).
Here is a short post I've wrote on the options we have today in ChromeOS: http://greenido.wordpress.com/2011/07/04/web-developers-and-the-new-chromebook/
#Ido It is not Ubuntu, but I do believe it is derived from Ubuntu. It is definitely Linux, and follows a lot of the Ubuntu/Debian conventions. Supposedly you can install qemacs on a chrome os device with the following steps.
Boot into developer mode.
Get to the console with cntl-alt-f2.
"sudo su -" to become super user.
Run "dev_install", which will install the portage package management tools.
Run "emerge qemacs" to install emacs.
That's the theory, anyway. There appear to be some unresolved bugs with dev_install.
ymacs.org looks promising to me
I think the best way to achieve this is with crouton by installing ubuntu itself in your chromebook without a graphical desktop, so you can run ubuntu/emacs/whatever in a regular google chrome tab.
That is:
turn on developer mode
get crouton : https://github.com/dnschneid/crouton
install ubuntu raring without X (follow the blog instructions)
install emacs
sudo apt-get install emacs
NB: Give this no-X thing a try, it's much better to swipe between tabs than to switch screens every time you want to use emacs.
