Hey guys I would just like to say hello and ask, if anyone has seen a tutorial of guide for mining on a Ubuntu headless server. I have tried multiple times to set this up and can not figure this out. Does anyone have any links or suggestions?

Thanks in advance!

Thank you for the quick reply,

When I try to run the sudo apt install qt5-default I get the following error:

Zec@ZecLin:~$ sudo apt install qt5-default
Reading package lists... Done
Building dependency tree
Reading state information... Done
You might want to run 'apt-get -f install' to correct these:
The following packages have unmet dependencies:
 qt5-default : Depends: qtbase5-dev
               Depends: qtchooser but it is not going to be installed
 webmin : Depends: libnet-ssleay-perl but it is not going to be installed
          Depends: libauthen-pam-perl but it is not going to be installed
          Depends: libio-pty-perl but it is not going to be installed
          Depends: apt-show-versions but it is not going to be installed
E: Unmet dependencies. Try 'apt-get -f install' with no packages (or specify a solution).

I also try to install with apt-get -f install and the same error occurs any ideas?

Ubuntu 16.04.1 LTS

Should I downgrade to another version?

I always use Ubuntu 14.04 (fresh install) and those commands work 100% of the time.
