I installed Google Earth last night and cannot this morning find it. Silly question but why is there not an icon for the program as that method seems nice and simple?

I am new to Ubuntu.   I need Java 8 &amp; NetBeans but cannot install. I tried by downloading something, but it did not get installed.  I tried same way for Google Earth, but it is also not installed.  First I tried Ubuntu 13.x (32 bit), but had same issue after I installed Ubuntu 14.04 LTS (64-bit).    Where can I got to get good advice on installation of software, and for using Ubuntu effectively?

I'm using Ubuntu 17.10 with GNOME shell and Numix-Circle icon theme.   When I hover over the Numix icon for Nightly Web Browser, which is pinned to the dock I get the title "Nightly Web Browser".      But when I launch the program, another icon pops up at the bottom, with the name "Nightly".

I am working on a variable label in Google Earth Engine and noticed that the label as printed in the console is not the same as the label shown on the map. Why is that? Code below:  var aoi = ee.Geometry.Polygon([[[-106.75701284923326, 42.31332966408458],           [-106.75701284923326, 42.003856624775146],           [-106.31755972423326, 42.06913460511273]]]);  var chirpsSelect = ee.ImageCollection("UCSB-CHG/CHIRPS/DAILY")             .filterDate('1985-01-01','2018-01-01')             .filter(ee.Filter.dayOfYear(3,6))             .filterBounds(aoi)  var chirpsStartImage = ee.String(chirpsSelect.first().get('system:index')) var dateStartString = ((((chirpsStartImage.slice(6,8)).cat('/')).cat(chirpsStartImage.slice(4,6))).cat('/')).cat(chirpsStartImage.slice(2,4))   var sortChirpsSelect = chirpsSelect.sort('system:index',false)  var chirpsEndImage = ee.String(sortChirpsSelect.first().get('system:index')) var dateEndString = ((((chirpsEndImage.slice(6,8)).cat('/')).cat(chirpsEndImage.slice(4,6))).cat('/')).cat(chirpsEndImage.slice(2,4)) var dateTitle = ee.String((dateStartString.cat(' to ')).cat(dateEndString))  print(dateTitle)  var dateLabel = ui.Label({   value: dateTitle })  var panel = ui.Panel() panel.add(dateLabel) Map.add(panel)

Since I started playing, I have seen this icon in the bottom right of my screen. Clicking it does nothing.  What does this icon represent?  I'll add a PC tag, as I'm playing on PC, and it could be related to that.

On the command line I regularly use locate, or more often a locate x | grep y pattern to find a file I know exists but can't find!  I'd like something that did this quickly in the GUI. Can't find it if it's there.  Here's my confusion   In the applications/overview I can see Search and Indexing. This seems to be a configuration tool. But if this is a server, I can't find a client. In applications I find Nepomuk File Indexing -- I think this is a KDE thing? Ditto, no client? I've installed tracker. This is a strange mix of powerful and unreliable/limited. e.g. it doesn't find files like locate does (returns no results where locate returns 96 results), but is will unpack every tag I've added to my photos! And you can't limit by folder for a quick search within a folder. The old Gnome 2 Search for files... thing is not in the Accessories menu anymore.   I feel that this is basic/core-level functionality and I can't help feeling I'm missing something obvious.

I must make a website with geo-referenced content. And I would like to add POI and the possibility to download this POI for GPX, KML\KMZ (Google Earth), etc.  Any tips or ideas to implement this somehow?  PS: if the above is not clear enough, have a look at  or  (the idea is building a website with such contents).

Some months ago I watched  video of Blenderguru about "How to create a realistic earth in blender". In this video blender render is used and  now that I understand texturing in cycles a little better I am trying to rebuild this "realistic earth" with cycles.    In the video - starting at about 11:30 min - it is shown how to map the "earth day" and "earth night" image textures. Depending on the lights shining on the earth the earth or night image is projected. I tried to rebuild that in cycles but I think I a making mistakes. In the circled box the "night" nodes are found. What Is my mistake ?   P.S When you see other mistakes in this node tree, please let me know.  OK ... I now have implemented the advice of Uncle Snail (except moving the black slider). Below an image of the earth and the updated node tree (I also rearranged nodes for better overview).    In the Color Ramp, I did not move the slider. Is that really necessary ??

How do I add icons next to field names, like adding a  icon in front of the mobile phone field?  i tried the patches shown in , but they do not seem to work.  I have seen this on some websites, so I guess it should be possible.

Right now the achievements has it, but the inbox does not.      Considering the two icons are like ten pixels apart its not so hard to open one then the other, but it would still be nice to have the reference in the inbox as well.  Im not sure if this is a dupe. I tried digging thourgh the 70 answers in  but couldn't find it.

I just downloaded Blender and am going to use it to generate landscapes.  I saw references to ANT landscape generator, but have no idea how to activate it or download it.  One video supposedly showed how to activate it, I found it but there was no activate check box shown.  Do I have to download it?  One site said it was included with Blender.  If so, where is it located because for the life of me I cannot find it anywhere and am getting frustrated.  I just want an easy way to generate landscapes(mountains, etc).  I searched the Blender file location (ProgramFiles\Blender Foundation\Blender\2.78\scripts\addons) with no success.  Any help is appreciated.  Thanks, Jim Lawrence

I am getting back in to EE after some time so please excuse my ignorance. I am looking for a way to detect pinpoint location outdoors to navigate a robot for a project with my sons. Is there a low cost way to triangulate or use GPS? I am looking for down to the inch precision. Also I do not care if I need to place some transmitters in different locations to give the device a reference.  This is for a robotic lawnmower. I have a 2 acre yard and my house is near the middle with several trees as obstacles.     Two of my three boys (14yrs, 11yrs, 5rys old) brought up the idea so the real goal of this project is to spend time with them and pique their interest in EE &amp; CE.  With that said cost is a factor but I do not care if we work on it for the next 2 years and spend a little along and along.  Here are my current plans    Include a Windows PC on board so I can code against the sensors.  Microsoft Connect on board to help with obstacle detection (reason for Windows PC) Include a USB GPS for general location Include camera just for the fun of it   In 2 years if I have some money in it that is okay but I do not want to start with a crazy expensive GPS.  Thanks to everyone who has help me!!!!

I removed the original Downloads folder in the home directory and created a new one with the same name, but the down arrow icon on the new Download folder now disappeared. Could someone please tell me how to restore that icon?   In addition, from the image above we see "Downloads" disappears also in "Places" category in the left panel. I think it should be there originally. If after restoring the down arrow icon, the "Downloads" is still not in "Places" category, I would also like to ask you to help me put "Downloads" back to "Places". Thank you.  PS: I am not using any theme.

Only GNOME extension and native icons are displayed. Other icons like Dropbox, shutter, enpass etc. do not appear in the top bar.   Am I missing something? I already tried using extensions that I used with GNOME before but nothing (Topicons Plus, Ubuntu appindicators etc.) seems to help.  Currently I'm using Ubuntu Xorg, but in Wayland I have the same issue.

I was just looking at someone's list of accounts (e.g., ) and noticed that the icon next to the &quot;Meta Stack Exchange&quot; account is showing the &quot;broken image&quot; sign instead of the correct icon (i.e., ).    Whoever took it ... please bring it back! :-) Same happens with the Stack Apps logo. Most of the other icons on that page seem to be served from cdn.sstatic.net (e.g., ). And indeed,  does bring up the correct image:

I was in creative mode on minecraft PE. I made this really awesome house plus a hotel! I was finishing up my house but decided to explore first. I explored for about 10 minutes and then stopped. Suddenly, I started worrying because I didn't know where I was. I couldn't find my house on a map, a compass, and I didn't make a beacon or keep track of what side of the sun it was on either. How can I find my house again???

The help icon in the Stack Exchange site's top bar is not working.     I navigate to my  and clicked on that icon, it is not responding. In other sites it is listing the drop down list.

I'm running stock Android 4.4 on my Nexus 4, and I keep seeing this weird icon that looks like a gray tag or arrow with a plus sign in it.    I don't know any app that does this, and there's never a matching notification when I pull the notification bar down. What does this mean?
