I have Dell Precision T-3620 Workstation and I have installed ubuntu 16.04 in it. It worked well for 1 day. One Day, I had to run a command on the terminal so I pressed  Ctrl + Alt + F1 before logging in. I did my work and when I restarted it, I faced a problem. When I write the password, the screen just flashes and the login screen comes again in front of me. When it asks for password, I give it. It waits for sometime and the screen bounces back to the login screen, It recognizes incorrect password and I can login through the terminal but I can't access my files and when I add the correct password, it waits and screen bounces back. Someone said to remove .Xauthority, so I pressed Ctrl + Alt + F1 and typed rm .Xauthority But it still didn't work.   Please anyone help me out.  Thanks in advance..............
I installed or upgraded to Ubuntu 16.04, but I'm having some problems with my graphics card.   The display is blank The display flickers Items on the screen do not display correctly Certain programs complain of graphics issues The computer boots to low-graphics mode Your specific issue may not be here, but try the solutions described in the answers anyway.   This question is very broad, but each one of these issues likely has one solution.    If you are experiencing a login loop, check the last part of my answer.    If you experience one of the listed issues and have your own solution (mine didn't work, or there's a faster way), feel free to post another POLITE answer, describing your problem and how you fixed it.    Those attempting to install Ubuntu, please refer to the section titled: If you are unable to enter a TTY or are trying to install Ubuntu.

Ubuntu does not offers me "install alongside Windows" AMD-V is not enabled in VirtualBox on AMD APU I am running on a dual core AMD E450 CPU. When I tried to run a 64-bit OS that requires hardware virtualization using VirtualBox, it showed me an error message that "AMD-V is not enabled".    My AMD processor is supposed provide AMD-V support, but I can find no option for enabling AMD-V in BIOS.    How can I solve this problem? How can I enable AMD-V for my CPU?

In Naruto, Kurama (the Nine-tailed bijuu) appears as chakra, as does Killer B's bijuu, Gyuki.      Other bijuu, however, don't appear that way. What is different between them? $2$ out of $3$ property of the unitary group Problem:  $F = \frac{(G m_1 m_2)}{r^2}$  An object of unknown mass is placed directly between the Earth and the Moon such that the forces of gravity acting on the object are equal from both the Earth and the Moon. The distance from the Moon to the object is exactly one-tenth of the distance from the Moon to Earth. Using the above formula, determine the distance from the Moon to the Earth.  Given is:  The factor $G≈6.67∙10−11\mathbf{N(\frac{m^2}{kg^2})}$ is a universal constant.  Mass of Earth $≈5.972∙10^{24}\mathbf{kg}$   Mass of the Moon as $≈7.348∙10^{22}\mathbf{kg}$  Mass of unknown object = $m$  My solution:  $F = \frac{(6.67 *10^-11) m (7.348*10^{24})}{R^2}$  $F = \frac{(6.67 *10^-11) (5.92* 10^22) m}{10R^2}$  As gravitational force acting on the object is equal   $\frac{(5.92\cdot 10^22)}{100r^2} = \frac{(7.348*10^{24})}{r^2}$  $R = 1.24 \cdot 10^4 KM$  Is this a viable solution to the problem? Please provide feedback. Thank you! I have some edges that are not on the x, y or z axis. What is a simple way to straighten them? For example, I can scale and then use Shift+Z to straighten on the x and y axis.  Any shortcuts other than temporarily rotating the entire object to put the edges on an axis? The buttons on the modal dialog box for leaving a page with unsaved changes are confusing If you are editing a question and decide to close the tab/window/whatever, SO opens up a dialog box asking you if you are sure. The buttons for this dialog are "OK" and "Cancel". However, what these map to is not entirely obvious. It would make more sense to change them to action words describing what they do. For example, it could be "Close this Question" and "Stay Here". This would eliminate the need to explain which button does what in the dialog itself and require less work from the user. getResourceAsStream() is always returning null I'm looking to make a "Drop Folder" in a windows shared drive that is accessible to everyone. I'd like files to be deleted automagically if they sit in the folder for more than X days.  However, it seems like all methods I've found to do this, use the last modified date, last access time, or creation date of a file.  I'm trying to make this a folder that a user can drop files in to share with somebody. If someone copies or moves files into here, I'd like the clock to start ticking at this point. However, the last modified date and creation date of a file will not be updated unless someone actually modifies the file. The last access time is updated too frequently... it seems that just opening a directory in windows explorer will update the last access time.  Anyone know of a solution to this? I'm thinking that cataloging the hash of files on a daily basis and then expiring files based on hashes older than a certain date might be a solution.... but taking hashes of files can be time consuming.  Any ideas would be greatly appreciated!  Note: I've already looked at quite a lot of answers on here... looked into File Server Resource Monitor, powershell scripts, batch scripts, etc.  They still use the last access time, last modified time or creation time... which, as described, do not fit the above needs. I understand what a decibel is, the spirit of the question is different: why do we still use decibels (and with at least two different, context-specific definitions), if we have the feat of scientific notation? I dare to claim that the change of 5e-1 (which is a half) is much more readable than 3dB (voltage? power?). 1e6 is more clear than 120dB, etc. Just for the joy of adding? 3dB + 7dB is 10dB, but 2e5+3e6 is errrm... I see many new datasheets from the top vendors (LTC, for example) use the V/V convention, which is closer to the scientific notation than to the decibels. An upcoming paradigm change? I can't install VMwarePlayer 4.0.3 on Ubuntu 12.04 64Bit. For Version 4.0.2, I found a script that I have to run to patch VMware Player for it to work on my system to properly, and after that I could install 4.0.2.  Is there an similar solution for Version 4.0.3? How do I install pillow in Ubuntu 16.04 LTS? I went to  for installing Pillow since the original PIL is a discontinued project and so now not so good to use. But, in the table support for Ubuntu 16.04 LTS is unmentioned. It appears neither in , or in .     Further, just installing pillow is said to be not enough. There are some dependencies that should be installed first which is also unmentioned for Ubuntu 16.04 LTS. Would the installation steps for Pillow for python 3 given for 14.04 LTS be OK for Ubuntu 16.04 LTS?  If not, How do I install pillow in 16.04 LTS for Python 3.6? (There is support for Python 2.) I would like a brief explanation of the following command line:  grep -i 'abc' content 2&gt;/dev/null ResultSet exception - before start of result set Suppose there are several journals with the same impact factor. Is it better to submit my papers to one of them or each time I finished a manuscript it is better to submit to an equally good journal that I have not published in yet.  I am early in my career and I already published two papers in the same journal and I am going to finish my third paper, which potentially can be published in the same journal as my previous two papers. What evidence is there supporting an alternative parentage for Jon Snow? I've heard speculation that Jon Snow's actual parents may be Rhaegar and Lyanna Stark, but in reading the books I'm not sure what evidence could be used to support this conclusion.  I thought there might have been something in the conversation Davos had before being smuggled into White Harbor, but I couldn't stretch anything that far.  What evidence do proponents of this theory cite?  Does any of it involve stuff in the texts or just sweeping generalizations of the characters' personalities (e.g. "Ned Stark is too honorable to father a bastard"). top output: cpu usage > 100% Here is the top output which I gathered:    I noticed that top is showing vlc's cpu usage is > 100%.  Can anybody please justify me why it is showing like this, whether this is a bug in top application or something else. Expected maximum of sub-Gaussian I'm trying to answer the following question from the book :  Let $X_1,X_2,\dots$ be a sequence of sub-gaussian random variables, which are not necessarily independent. Show that   $E\bigg[ \max_i \frac{|X_i|}{\sqrt{1 + \log i}} \bigg] \le CK$,  where $K = \max_i \|X_i\|_{\psi_2}$. Deduce that for ever $N \ge 2$ we have   $E\bigg[ \max_{i \le N} |X_i| \bigg] \le CK \sqrt{\log N}$.  I've tried to figure out what is the distribution of the maximum of Gaussians, but I'm reaching only inequalities that that don't help me answer the question.   I've also seen a similar question .  Does anyone have a clue or something to start with in order to answer this question?  Thanks!
