I just isntalle ubuntu server 14.04.2, in the installation process i could easily choose the network name from a list and typed the password. After the installation i saw that Im not connected to the internet. It would be great if you tell me how to connect to the internet (noob version please :) ).
I just installed Ubuntu 14.04 Server and cannot get wifi configured correctly to work with WPA2 personal and could use some help.    There was a simple wizard during install where I selected my SSID from a list and entered my passphrase and that worked great.  Now that the install is done I am having trouble configuring wifi.  My Access Point is setup to WPA2 Personal TKIP or AES. Any advice would be greatly appreciated.  I have been messing around with WPA supplicant ant my /etc/network/interfaces file with no luck.  Thanks
Cannot get grub menu to timeout (or go away) I am running Ubuntu 12.04.  I cannot for the life of me get the grub menu (with options) to go away.  I would like it to auto-boot into the first option. I've edited /etc/default/grub so that it looks like the following:  GRUB_DEFAULT=0 GRUB_HIDDEN_TIMEOUT=0 GRUB_HIDDEN_TIMEOUT_QUIET=true GRUB_TIMEOUT=10 GRUB_DISTRIBUTOR=`lsb_release -i -s 2&gt; /dev/null || echo Debian` GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="quiet splash" GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX=""   After this, I ran sudo update-grub. Then I realized that I had grub 2, so I ran sudo update-grub2 (both make it look like they create the grub.cfg file successfully.  I restart my computer and it goes back to the grub menu and just sits there until I make a choice. This is not desirable if the power goes out... :-)  I also tried reinstalling grub using sudo grub-install /dev/sda - also unsuccessful Why $f(x) = \sqrt{x}$ is a function? Saving for retirement without employer sponsored plan I'm considering moving to a new job that doesn't have any sponsored retirement plans.  I'd like to continue saving on my own though, but it seems that IRAs have a $5,000 contribution limits.  What are some other options to save in addition to an IRA?  I'm not interested in the obvious "put more into your bank savings account," I'm looking for options fairly close to an IRA (trading stocks on etrade also out) to save more.  Also, would contributions to the 401k prior to rolling into an IRA count against the contribution limit to the IRA? traceroute TCP equivalent for Windows What do (lambda) function closures capture? Interpretation of mean absolute scaled error (MASE) Very simply put:  I have a class that consists mostly of static public members, so I can group similar functions together that still have to be called from other classes/functions.  Anyway, I have defined two static unsigned char variables in my class public scope, when I try to modify these values in the same class' constructor, I am getting an "unresolved external symbol" error at compilation.  class test  { public:     static unsigned char X;     static unsigned char Y;      ...      test(); };  test::test()  {     X = 1;     Y = 2; }   I'm new to C++ so go easy on me. Why can't I do this? Tikzexternalize not compatible with Miktex 2.9 abntex2 package How unique is the php session id WinDirStat shows 244GB unknown space on external drive I recently noticed that one of my external hard drive seems to be missing a lot of space. It was recommended that I try WinDirStat, as it could help identify how much space each file was taking up. This is the result:     As you can see, there is about 244.7GB "unknown" usage.  Doing a bit of research online, the most common suggestion was (a) Recycle Bin and (b) System Volume Information.  (a) As you can see, empty. To double check, I ran Disk Cleanup. It confirmed that it was empty. (Note that a new file appeared by the time I took this screenshot, but it's only 129 Bytes.)  (b) Harder to tell. However, according to various forums, the most common reason for System Volume Information to grow large is due to System Restore Files. I had a look, and it is definitely turned off for this drive, as seen here:     What else could be causing this issue? It is an enormous amount of storage to have gone missing! Let $a,b,c>0$ such that $a+b+c=3$, find max/min of $\frac1{a^2+1}+\frac1{b^2+1}+\frac1{c^2+1}$ A does the same B as does C Cardinality of set of real continuous functions I believe that the set of all $\mathbb{R\to R}$ continuous functions is $\mathfrak c$, the . However, I read in the book &quot;Metric spaces&quot; by Ó Searcóid that set of all $[0, 1]\to\mathbb{R}$ continuous functions is greater than $\mathfrak c$:  &quot;It is demonstrated in many textbooks that $\mathbb{Q}$ is countable, that $\mathbb{R}$ is uncountable, that every non-degenerate interval is uncountable, that the collection of continuous functions deﬁned on  $[0,1]$ is of a greater cardinality than $\mathbb{R}$, and that there are sets of greater and greater cardinality.&quot;  I understand that (via composition with the continuous function $\tan$ or $\arctan$) these sets of continuous functions have the same cardinality. Therefore, which claim is correct, and how do I prove this? What to do when someone other than the author changes a question to fix a substantive problem with the code See . Someone other than the OP changed the code to address a substantial problem with the it that was addressed as part of my answer. The problem was admittedly peripheral to the core question, but it was a primary differentiator between my answer and another answer submitted at the same time.  Any suggestions on what to do in this situation? Leave it be? Edit it back? Something else?  Update: I just found , from the "Related Links" section on the right, which is pretty relevant. I have to keep remembering to check there rather than just searching for answers. How to make an embedded question from "What time is it?" If the original question is "What time is it?" and I want to communicate it to another person, are these Embedded Questions OK?        I don't know what time is it.       or        I didn't know what time was it. (if communicated later) I know several questions were asked about the difference between "going to" and "will". Based on several answers (see, for instance, ,  and ), I understood that "will" is more spontaneous and "going to" is used with more planned actions.  So, it seems that everything is pretty fine. However, in , Kosmonaut has an answer in which he states: "Let's say that tomorrow you will walk your dog from 7 - 8 AM".  On the one hand, you probably planned to walk your dog long before and thus I should use "Let's say that tomorrow you're going to walk your dog from 7 - 8 am".   On the other hand, since I'm saying "let's say...", I'm deciding right now (thus, unplanned) that you will walk your dog. So, even though in this hypothetical situation you made a plan, I'm in a more spontaneous mood deciding right now that that's what you will do tomorrow, and, thus, I should use "will".  Which one (if any) of the above explanations is right?
