If I had an application with .tar.gz or .tar.bz2 extension can I transform it to a package .deb ?

After few reset attempts, sometimes it shows the entitled error. after few attempts, the windows starts but everything become slow. If I again restart, it works well. But at a point windows never starts and I have to reinstall it. I have already reinstalled 3/4 times in the past 2/3 months.

Are enemies with immunity to the Poisoned condition unaffected by Contagion? After the , the spell  now inflicts the  condition upon a successful melee spell attack. The relevant spell text is below, with updated portions highlighted in bold:  Your touch inflicts disease. Make a melee spell attack against a creature within your reach. On a hit, the target is poisoned. At the end of each of the poisoned target's turns, the target must make a Constitution saving throw. If the target succeeds on three of these saves, it is no longer poisoned, and the spell ends. If the target fails three of these saves, the target is no longer poisoned, but choose one of the diseases below. The target is subjected to the chosen disease for the spell's duration. Since this spell induces a natural disease in its target, any effect that removes a disease or otherwise ameliorates a disease's effects apply to it.  The wording of the spell leads me to conclude that this spell still inflicts a disease, which has the immediate effect of poisoning the target. Therefore, even if a target has poison immunity, they will still make Constitution saves as designated to see if the disease takes effect. However, the line, &quot;At the end of each of the poisoned target's turns...&quot; also leads me to think that an enemy with poison-immunity cannot be the Poisoned target, therefore disallowing the remaining sequence of events. Are targets with immunity to the Poisoned condition therefore immune to contagion? I am trying to run Notepad as admin so I can edit my hosts file from the command line.

I am trying to get an armature to move one limb on a deer I have made. Here is my design process!   I made the body and limbs as separate meshes. I wasn't sure how to create limbs out of the body of the mesh and make them look good. I tried joining  the meshes, creating the armature and setting automatic weights and then moving the armature in pose mode. The mesh would not move with the armature I thought maybe it was because many vertices between the mesh and the limb were crossing so I thought maybe that was why the armature was not moving the limbs I used the cut tool to remove the intersecting mesh on the limb and the body so that there were no intersecting vertices.  I then joined this set of meshes and created a new armature, set the weights to automatic and tried to move the mesh in pose mode and it still won't work.    What should I do? I don't know what else to try. I have been following any other online instructions exactly.

Screenshot: Recovering eigenvectors from SVD If $x_1,x_2,\ldots,x_n$ are the roots for $1+x+x^2+\ldots+x^n=0$, find the value of $\frac{1}{x_1-1}+\frac{1}{x_2-1}+\ldots+\frac{1}{x_n-1}$ Let $x_1,x_2,\ldots,x_n$ be the roots for $1+x+x^2+\ldots+x^n=0$.

Another fact that is probably useful is that  $$1+x^{n+1}=(1-x)(x^n+x^{n-1}+\ldots+x+1)$$ with roots that are 1 in addition of the given roots $x_1,x_2,\ldots,x_n$ for the original equation, that is  $$x_k=\text{cis}(\frac{2k\pi}{n+1}),\ \ k=1,\ldots,n.$$  This is as far as I could go...

Just ran the latest batch of updates on 20.04 (Xubuntu), and now I'm getting a GRUB error: symbol 'grub_calloc' not found  I'm dropped into the 'grub rescue' shell, but have no idea what to do there that might be useful. To me, 'symbol not found' implies some sort of build error with the grub package, but I don't really know how grub works. I noticed that this update also included 'firmware', not sure if that could be related. Is my best bet just to boot from a live CD and see if I can roll back the update to grub somehow? Edited to add: OK, thanks to lots of people ! Here's what I think I now understand.  On 'non-UEFI' systems, grub is installed in two separate parts. The first, most basic, part is the part that is started on bootup. But for most of it's functionality, it needs the second part. These parts must be aligned - neither part must require any functionality from the other part which is not actually there. The visible, run-time problem occurs when these parts are not aligned, and the function grub_calloc is not supplied. It's not 100% clear to me if grub_calloc belongs in the second, larger part or the first. I would have expected the second, but the grub build system is a work of considerable art, so I don't know :).  The root cause of the problem is that the grub update has not ensured that both parts have been updated. Ideally, failure to do this should cause grub installation to fail, and the system should be reverted to a safe state. This does not happen. This is actually still a bit of a mystery to me. All that the update needs to do by default is put each part where the current parts are, because obviously that worked. If the install locations/drives are configuration - driven, and one of these locations can't be reached, then somehow a mismatch has arisen between that configuration data and reality. This might not show up as a problem as long as no new dependency was introduced between the parts.   All flavours of solution involve reinstalling grub to ensure that the two parts are aligned. It's not actually necessary to go back to the previous version ( although that will work ), because it's not the grub runtime per se that is broken. There are numerous ways to achieve this, depending on your environment, but running the Boot-repair live disk worked for me. It may be useful, for the purpose of avoiding such a misalignment in future, to ensure that the grub installer on your system is configured to install to the correct devices. This update resolves some important bugs (). If you have reverted grub to resolve this problem, be aware that you are exposed to these issues.
