Hi Ram, Dumb questions first: Have you checked if the MySQL/MariaDB processes are running? Also, I am guessing that you've already checked the minimum requirements listed on the Joomla Install guides?
Do Ubuntu's repositories have a XAMPP meta-package? If that is the case, synaptic/apt should take care of removing the conflicting versions from the lamp-server tasksel configuration. If XAMPP comes bundled with everything, I think you are in for a lot of work. Ninad Ninad S.
