Here’s how to combine multiple PDF file on Ubuntu.
First install ghostscript and pdftk from Ubuntu repository :
apt-get install gs pdftk
Then, using ghostscript, combile all the pdf files you desired into one file, using this command
s -dNOPAUSE -sDEVICE=pdfwrite -sOUTPUTFILE=combined_file.pdf -dBATCH file1.pdf file2.pdf file3.pdf
The command will produced the combined pdf output on “combine_file.pdf”

Any gui for this? If I were to merge lets say 10 with different .pdf file names, have to type each one by one?

i have no friggin idea why your code example is written the way it is, but here is how it should look as of today:
pdftk file1.pdf file2.pdf cat output output.pdf

it is not “s” but “gs” of couse, that you mean.
Thus
gs -dNOPAUSE -sDEVICE=pdfwrite -sOUTPUTFILE=combined_file.pdf -dBATCH file1.pdf file2.pdf file3.pdf
