If having problems with themes and missing modules/shortcodes run hugo mod clean

For me on Ubuntu 16.04:

• pre-existing go installation: 1.13.4 (probably 1.11 or more recent);
• installed hugo from source via github using their instructions (it is extremely large for a go project and this step takes a while. It is compiling go, be patient);
• if you install hugo from source (the step above), remember that the hugo binary will be in ~/go/bin which may not be on your PATH;
• this ends up with Hugo Static Site Generator v0.76.0-DEV/extended linux/amd64 BuildDate: unknown
• ran hugo -D followed by hugo server -D

Got this to work on Ubuntu 18.04 with:

• binary installation (64 bit linux)
• hugo version Hugo Static Site Generator v0.75.1-A4A7BAB7/extended linux/amd64 BuildDate: 2020-09-15T06:57:20Z
• Go version go1.15.2 linux/amd64 (new installation)
• slides working

I also encountered difficulties when installing with snap, which seems to end up with the wrong path for go.
