Dependencies unsatisfied for offline Broadcom installation I just installed Ubuntu 17.1 on my Dell Precision M6500 (so the laptop is vintage 2009-2010), alongside Windows 7. When in Windows, wifi works fine (and the LED is ON, just above keyboard). When in Ubuntu, no wifi, wifi light is off, and if I go to Ubuntu Settings, the wifi page indicates that there is no wifi adapter. If I then try the lspci command, I get this for the Broadcom devices:   dell-M6500:~$ lspci -nnk |grep -iA3 broadcom 09:00.0 Ethernet controller [0200]: Broadcom Limited NetXtreme BCM5761e Gigabit Ethernet PCIe [14e4:1680] (rev 10)     Subsystem: Dell NetXtreme BCM5761e Gigabit Ethernet PCIe [1028:02ef]     Kernel driver in use: tg3     Kernel modules: tg3 0c:00.0 Network controller [0280]: Broadcom Limited BCM4322 802.11a/b/g/n Wireless LAN Controller [14e4:432b] (rev 01)     Subsystem: Dell Wireless 1510 Wireless-N WLAN Mini-Card [1028:000d]     Kernel driver in use: b43-pci-bridge     Kernel modules: ssb   If I then follow the instructions at , I get this:   dell-M6500:~$ ls bcmwl-kernel-source_6.30.223.271+bdcom-0ubuntu3_amd64.deb  Music Desktop                                                    Pictures dkms_2.3-3ubuntu3_all.deb                                  Public Documents                                                  Templates Downloads                                                  Videos examples.desktop dell-M6500:~$ sudo dpkg -i *.deb [sudo] password for ...:  Selecting previously unselected package bcmwl-kernel-source.

Additional Drivers for Ubuntu 17.10 The Additional Drivers settings interface is no longer available in Ubuntu 17.10  How can I install proprietary drivers in Ubuntu 17.10?  I need drivers for Wifi &amp; Bluetooth (BCM43142) and Intel Graphics.  The earlier Additional Drivers program showed a package named jockey but it no longer seem to exist in repositories.
What's a good phrase for "refining a process which is hopelessly broken"? I'm looking for a turn of phrase to describe a situation where the powers that be wish to continue making small improvements to a process which, due to deep-rooted flaws, will never be close to accurate.  I'm working on a process for estimating the states of business objects, and there's interest in fixing some edge cases which have been noticed.  This could be worthwhile, but because of missing data we're already making heroic guesses.  So if implemented, we might get from 80.0 to 80.1% accuracy.  If we were at 99.5%, I'd be happy to get it to 99.6%, but in the current situation it doesn't seem productive.  We have some CS people on E.SE; what would you call it when someone wants to optimize a two-second process to load data, though once loaded it will be chewed on by an inefficient algorithm for hours?  Something like "bailing the ocean" or "fixing a leaky faucet in a burning building" is close to what I have in mind.  There's also "rearranging deck chairs on the Titanic," but that carries an implication that the changes are wholly useless, and that events are coming to a head. MacVim -- how to make Ctrl+A go to beginning of line, Ctrl+E to the end of the line I'm trying to switch to MacVim as my main editor, and I'm liking it so far, except for one issue:  I got really used to the Mac shortcuts control-A to go to the beginning of a line, and control-E to go to the end of a line.  However, these two don't work in MacVim (control-A does something weird -- it seems to increase the last number in a line by 1 or something, and control-E seems to scroll down the screen by one line).  Any way to make these two shortcuts go to the beginning of a line / end of a line respectively instead? What are the main differences between performing principal component analysis (PCA) on the correlation matrix and on the covariance matrix? Do they give the same results? How to pick the title of a remote webpage Does $k+\aleph_0=\mathfrak{c}$ imply $k=\mathfrak{c}$ without the Axiom of Choice? I'm currently reading a little deeper into the Axiom of Choice, and I'm pleasantly surprised to find it makes the arithmetic of infinite cardinals seem easy. With AC follows the Absorption Law of Cardinal Arithmetic, which states that for $\kappa$ and $\lambda$ cardinal numbers, the larger infinite and the smaller nonzero, then $\kappa+\lambda=\kappa\cdot\lambda=\max(\kappa,\lambda)$.  I was playing around with the equation $k+\aleph_0=\mathfrak{c}$ for some cardinal $k$. From the above, it follows that $\mathfrak{c}=k+\aleph_0=\max(k,\aleph_0)$, which implies $k=\mathfrak{c}$.  I'm curious, can we still show $k=\mathfrak{c}$ without the Axiom of Choice? Is it maybe possible to bound $\mathfrak{c}-\aleph_0$ above and below by $\mathfrak{c}$? But then I'm not quite sure such algebraic manipulations even mean anything, or work like that here. Certainly normal arithmetic does not! Thanks. How to test that Apex Batch finish() sends an email? I have a Batch class that sends an Email from its finish method and want to test that. a But....I cannot test it. The the above test fails as there was no email invocation at all. BUT: I see it in the Limits view of my Dev Console that indeed one email invocation happens. Why?!  The batch class:  public MyBatch implements Database.Batchable&lt;SObject&gt; {      ...      public void finish(Database.BatchableContext context) {         sendEmail();     } }   The test method:  @isTest private static void sendsEmailOnFinish() {      Test.startTest();        MyBatch b = new MyBatch();     Database.executeBatch(b);     Test.stopTest();       // Verify     System.assertEquals(1, Limits.getEmailInvocations()); }   I thought this might be connected to using Test.startTest() and stopTest() but even moving the assertEquals before the Test.stopTest() doesn't make my test run. How do I pre-install Ubuntu for someone (OEM install)? I would like to pre-install Ubuntu on a computer for someone. I may want to customize it for them, but in the end they need to be able to choose a username, password, etc. when they first boot it up. (Also called an OEM install).  How do I do this? Prove the map sending a matrix to it's inverse is continuous. Let $GL(n,\mathbb{R})$ be the space of invertible $n \times n$ matrices over $\mathbb{R}$. I have already proved that $GL(n,\mathbb{R})$ is open in $\mathbb{R}^{n^2}$ and that it is not connected with the relative topology from $\mathbb{R}^{n^2}$. How do I prove that the map $f:GL(n,\mathbb{R})\rightarrow GL(n,\mathbb{R})$ given by $f(x):=x^{-1}$ is continuous?  Any help would be greatly apprecaited.   Additionally how do I prove that $g:GL(n,\mathbb{R})\times GL(n,\mathbb{R}) \rightarrow GL(n,\mathbb{R})$ given by $g(x,y):=xy$ (matrix multiplication) is continuous, where we take the relative topology from $\mathbb{R}^{n^2} \times \mathbb{R}^{n^2} \cong \mathbb{R}^{2n^2}$? Error when using TikZ-Feynman package I am able to produce a standard length \sim with a tiny S above it, but I would like the \sim tilde to be longer (maybe one and half times as wide as a capital letter).  Any tips on how to change the width/length of \sim? which analysis fit the best for the data? I am trying to work on the data of my master thesis. I have to create a model, but I don't know which analysis perform. My data look like this     number ID sp ab alt SWdiv     1 A1 4 6 630 0.25802965   2 A2 9 16 750 0.29235324   3 A3 8 14 850 0.411620203   4 A4 9 22 950 0.444079553   5 A5 2 12 1050 0.294855765   6 A6 13 40 1130 0.298451014   7 B1 2 2 750 0.275329152   8 B2 5 6 850 0.043352118   9 B3 14 16 950 0   10 B4 17 58 1050 0.230358688   11 B5 7 9 1150 0.298759725   12 B6 8 68 1250 0.012192474   13 C1 12 20 830 0.467542842   14 C2 13 19 930 0.454480722   15 C3 6 30 1030 0.464584038   16 C4 7 14 1130 0.448191833   17 C5 5 15 1250 0.052045275   18 C6 2 7 1315 0.051767368   19 D1 3 3 650 0.294855541   20 D2 11 17 750 0.291717599   21 D3 9 46 850 0.084284864   22 D4 8 57 950 0.088574421   23 D5 4 32 1050 0.160873283   24 D6 13 22 1150 0.297638962   25 D7 6 22 1250 0.290733158   26 E1 11 23 800 0.250878932   27 E2 8 8 900 0.418021272   28 E3 10 13 1000 0.132159303   29 E4 5 10 1100 0.058487554   30 E5 5 15 1200 0.250310822   31 E6 10 19 1350 0.01600807   32 F1 6 20 800 0.462497319   33 F2 15 54 900 0.376552904   34 F3 6 13 1000 0.298264791   35 F4 6 13 1100 0.394736812   36 G1 14 22 830 0.391455956   37 G2 11 16 930 0.282922551   38 G3 5 10 1030 0.282398234   39 G4 10 15 1130 0.153502726   40 G5 13 18 1230 0.051586706   41 H1 10 11 700 0.3009609   42 H2 7 14 800 0.579228102   43 H3 5 11 900 0.528108703   44 H4 20 48 1000 0.28689587   45 H5 13 18 1100 0.264542772   46 H6 10 20 1250 0.29928462   47 I1 12 13 535 0.35326876   48 I2 3 5 635 0.273947657   49 I3 18 30 720 0.467208221   50 I4 16 188 835 0.276669711   51 I5 7 69 935 0.000867067   52 L1 6 10 435 0.36910895   53 L2 7 20 606 0.236700524   54 L3 14 33 697 0.111132519   55 L4 17 42 797 0.296757045   56 L5 5 7 910 0.27539552   57 L6 10 15 1000 0.29748451   58 L7 6 11 1101 0.276755556     58 sample points each has two value: altitude and diversity index related to habitat heterogeneity. What I sample are different insects and I have two values: sp = species (total number of different species for each sample point) and ab = abundance (total number of insects for each sample point). My question are are the species richness or the abundance affected by the altitude or the habitat heterogeneity? which is the best analysis to perform? and why? thank you for your help. Singleton: How should it be used Conditional Expectaction 3 variables Suppose $X,Y$ and $Z$ are multivariate normal with means and full covariance matrix. The conditional expectation $E(X | Y)$ is well know. What is the conditional expectation of $E(X | Y,Z)$ if $Y$ and $Z$ (and $X$) are correlated? Standard textbooks only seem to cover the case when $Y$ and $Z$ are uncorrelated. Non-numerical citation mark like [Str91] [Samar] [Tro77] I'm writing a custom module for Drupal 8. It defines a field storage configuration object, in a file called modules/mymod/config/install/field.storage.bloom_stem.bs_twitter_ac.yml.  The problem is that this is not removed when I uninstall the module; it is apparently left behind because, when I re-install the module, I get a crash.   drush -y pm-uninstall mymod drush cr drush -y en mymod      exception 'Drupal\Core\Config\PreExistingConfigException' with message 'Configuration objects (field.storage.bloom_stem.bs_twitter_ac) provided by mymod already exist in active configuration'   So it seems I need to some how manually remove this configuration object. Do I need to provide some more code that deletes it when the module is uninstalled? Change date format [YYYYMMDD] to [MM/DD/YYYY] I generated a report that formats date as 20160509 and my Google Sheets locale is already set to United States. I've played around with various options within Format > Number > Date Format but I can't change the dates to MM/DD/YYYY format without doing a simple find and replace. How do I accomplish this? Enabling CORS in GeoServer (jetty)? I hope somebody has already figured this one out. I just installed Geoserver 2.9 on a vanilla Ubuntu 16.04 distro. The Geoserver 2.8 method of enabling CORS with the shanbe.hezoun class does no longer work with Jetty 9.2.13.  There are mentions that CORS support is already packaged with Jetty 9.2.13 in the jetty-servlets.jar.  The Jetty lib which is compiled with Geoserver contains a jetty-servlet-9.2.13.v20150730.jar in geoserver/lib but not jetty-servlets.9.2.13.v20150730.jar. Are these supposed to be the same jar with a different name?  It should be possible to enable CORS either in geoserver/etc/webdefault.xml or in geoserver/webapps/geoserver/WEB-INF/web.xml.  My understanding is that the webdefault.xml is applied first and the web.xml thereafter.  I have tried following filter in both xml. I haven't got as far as adding a filter mapping. Adding the filter alone will cause the Geoserver/Jetty service to not start proper.  &lt;filter&gt;     &lt;filter-name&gt;cross-origin&lt;/filter-name&gt;     &lt;filter-class&gt;org.eclipse.jetty.servlets.CrossOriginFilter&lt;/filter-class&gt; &lt;/filter&gt; python get only class attribute no superclasses How can I remove Amazon search results from the dash or disable the feature? How can I disable Amazon search results in the Dash? How to read a file without newlines?
