For those having problems (Like I did!) installing Lazarus in Ubuntu
16.04
Code: [Select]http://installion.co.uk/ubuntu/xenial/universe/l/lazarus
/install/index.html
I then had a problem with a libmysqlclient error
so, installed this one
Code: [Select]http://launchpadlibrarian.net/212189159/libmysqlclient18
_5.6.25-0ubuntu1_amd64.deb
which I found on
https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/xenial/amd64/libmysqlclient18/5.6.25-
0ubuntu1
was having loads of problems, so fresh install of ubuntu, then did all
above - works perfectly.
On the way, I made snapshots of my Ubuntu install using
Code: [Select]http://tipsonubuntu.com/2016/07/30/create-system-
restore-points-ubuntu-16-04/HTH

this should apply to Linux too. If you choose to use the ZFS file
system instead, then you can use ZFS's built-in snapshot functionality
to achieve the same feature. I highly recommend anybody running
FreeBSD or Linux to switch to ZFS. It is an absolute brilliant file
system, with impressive data protection and redundancies built-in,
very easy to use, partitions rethought from the ground up (create and
destroy partitions on the fly as needed), partitions with on-the-fly
encryption or compression built-in etc. Also since the introduction of
the OpenZFS Group (common development of ZFS features), ZFS now runs
natively on Linux (no more terrible performance because it used to run
via FUSE).
