Creating a qt GUI in Noetic and issues with catkin_create_qt_pkg

I would like to create a QT GUI package in Noetic. Previously in kinetic/melodic, this could be done using the command 'catkin_create_qt_pkg ' but it's not working in Ubuntu 20.04 as I get
catkin_create_qt_pkg: command not found
Unfortunately, noetic appears to have removed the support for the qt-create and qt-build. Thus, I get 'Unable to locate package' when I try to install them using
sudo apt-get install ros-noetic-qt-build
sudo apt-get install ros-noetic-qt-create
how to create a qt-gui in ubuntu-20.04 with noetic?

Linux Mint 19 Terminal refuses to add repository despite giving correct source for R3.5 installation files

I have to install the latest version of R on my Linux Mint 19 computer in order to run some bioinformatics tools (Biostrings). I then followed this website for the tutorial (I suppose things are not very different with Mint or Ubuntu after all). However, after I typed in the third command line into the Terminal, which is
sudo add-apt-repository 'deb https://cloud.r-project.org/bin/linux/ubuntu bionic-cran35/'
it replied
Malformed input, repository not added.
Now I understood that there is a typo in the command on the website, and I myself corrected it to
sudo add-apt-repository 'deb https://cloud.r-project.org/bin/linux/ubuntu/bionic-cran35/'
However, the problem still exists.
Could anyone help me with this issue?
sudo nano /etc/apt/sources.list.d/additional-repositories.list
then add the following line
deb [arch=amd64] https://download.docker.com/linux/ubuntu bionic stable
then,
sudo apt update

Install R latest verison on ubuntu 16.04

So I tried to install R (after repairing ubuntu on my system) using following command :
sudo apt-get install r-base-core
sudo apt-get install r-recommended
It installs R 3.2 , but the latest version of R currently available to use is R 3.4, any idea why it is not installing R 3.4 ?
I lately installed R.3.4 manually, it works fine. just curious to know why it didn't installed at the first place using the command.
Follow these steps:
Add this entry deb https://cloud.r-project.org/bin/linux/ubuntu xenial/ to your /etc/apt/sources.list file.
Run this command in shell: sudo apt-key adv --keyserver keyserver.ubuntu.com --recv-keys E084DAB9.
Update and install: sudo apt update; sudo apt install r-base.
I wrote a post that explains each step in detail (update: also covers installing R on Ubuntu 18.04); here's the link.
It installs 3.2 because that's the default in the Ubuntu 16.04 repository. If you want the most up to date version of R for Ubuntu it's best to follow the instructions at the cran page for R on Ubuntu.
The xenial-cran35/ version of the repo does NOT work if you have a "default release" set in apt, as is the case in some distros that work on top of Ubuntu, such as Mint. For my Mint distro, there exists a file /etc/apt/apt.conf.d/01ubuntu inside of which it declares the Default-Release "xenial"; What this means is that, since r-base exists in the ubuntu repo at version 3.2, with release "xenial", it'll never use the 3.6 branch from the other repo, because the release name for that repo is "xenial-cran35". You need to edit that file to change the default release to "xenail-cran35", or do something more pointed using apt preference files (https://wiki.debian.org/AptPreferences#A.2Fetc.2Fapt.2Fpreferences).
This is basically R's fault for having a poorly formatted repo. They should have had 2 repos, each of which had a "xenial" release folder, one url for their 3.2 branch work and one for the 3.5+ branch work. Instead they have one repo, and have bastardized the "release name" instead, which just sort of happens to work for base Ubuntu, but won't work if you have non-base configuration of apt in this way.

Installing older version of R

I'm working with R now for some month and I'm still a newbie.
I acutall working for a project to build up R RHadoop and Hadoop.
The sandbox + R + RStudio is already running and working.
I wanted to install R + RStudio also on the bigger cluster with several nodes for testing in cluster mode. But when I installed R, is saw, that a new version comes out, 3.2.2. On my sandbox, I'm still working with 3.2.1.
Version 3.2.2 seems to have some problem with my code, so I want to use 3.2.1, but I'm not able to install older version of R.
How can I install R-3.2.1-2.el6.x86_64 on the cluster as well?
I'm working on centos 6.
Regards,
suerte
I don't know if you found a solution at your problem, but here is how I install old R versions :
0) You should be sure to know which linux version you use
lsb_release -a
You should get something like (this is my result in example):
Distributor ID: Ubuntu
Description: Ubuntu 14.04
Release: 14.04
Codename: trusty
So now I know that my linux is a trusty.
1) After that you need to add a cran repository on your /etc/apt/sources.list
You can find cran address here : https://cran.r-project.org/mirrors.html
That give you access to older package. Choose one for your Linux !!
example :
deb https://cloud.r-project.org/bin/linux/ubuntu trusty/
2) You need to add the registry key to don't have certificate problem. I use this command but fell free to find another one on their website :
gpg --keyserver hkp://keyserver.ubuntu.com:80 --recv-keys E084DAB9
gpg -a --export E084DAB9 | apt-key add -
3) Here is the tricky part :
1 --> do an apt-get update to have the new repository
2 --> choose your version in the cran and specify it. That should look like something like that :
apt-get -y install r-base-core=3.1.0-1trusty0 #For R
apt-get -y --force-yes install r-doc-html=3.1.0-1trusty0 #For doc
apt-get -y install r-base-dev=3.1.0-1trusty0 # for dev
etc ...
Just be careful, I had some problems when I tried to install r-base=.... and r-recommended= .... All the time, that had install the latest version.
For the cluster I don't know yet but I think a script should work.
Hope that helped.
Regards

Installing SaltStack on RHEL 7?

I need help on installing saltstack on RHEL 7.
RHEL 7 server is from AWS Amazon.
$ cat /etc/redhat-release
Red Hat Enterprise Linux Server release 7.0 (Maipo)
I'm getting an error during installation:
$ wget -O - http://bootstrap.saltstack.org | sudo sh
2014-08-04 09:41:45 (932 KB/s) - written to stdout [177548/177548]
INFO: Found function install_red_hat_enterprise_linux_7_stable_deps
INFO: Found function install_red_hat_enterprise_linux_stable

INFO: Found function install_red_hat_enterprise_linux_restart_daemons

ERROR: Stable version is not available on RHEL 7 Beta/RC. Please set installation type to git.
ERROR: Failed to run install_red_hat_enterprise_linux_7_stable_deps()!!!
Is this version of RHEL 7 not supported for saltstack?
Run the following commands to install from the latest develop branch:
curl -o install_salt.sh -L https://bootstrap.saltstack.com
sudo sh install_salt.sh -M git develop
Remove the -M from the command above if you don't want to install a salt-master and only want to install salt-minion.
I have a similar problem, I tried to install it from epel 7 beta, but there's another problem, see https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1127348. Finally I was able to install it by combining pip and yum. I don't have the exact sequence of commands, but sth. like this should work:
yum install --skip-broken salt python-pip
pip install jinja2
I have tried installing SaltStack on CentOS 7 , which should be similar to Redhat 7, and you could try it, hope it works for you:
**[updated]** http://dl.fedoraproject.org/pub/epel/7/x86_64/e/epel-release-7-2.noarch.rpm
and then you could
yum install -y salt-master
or
yum install -y install salt-minion
to install it.
You need to enable the rhel-7-server-optional-rpms repo in subscription-manager.
