I have a computer with Arch linux. I want to know which desktop environment is installed.   My ultimate goal would be to install Gnome. Is it possible to have two desktop environments.
I am writing a bash script that needs to know which desktop environment (XFCE, Unity, KDE, LXDE, Mate, Cinnamon, GNOME2, GNOME3,... ) is running.  How can I obtain that information?
I can't destroy blocks in Minecraft Creative Mode (singleplayer) Global inbox message not updated after comment edit At the moment, I have the latest notification in the global inbox, content of which does not correspond either to the comment itself or the copy of it on "recent responses" page. This seems like the comment was edited and the updated version was not copied to the global inbox.    ETA: OK, now this looks more coherent. Booting Ubuntu Failure : error: attempt to read or write outside of disk 'hd0' I have installed Ubuntu 12.10 in a Western Digital external hard drive (320GB). This is a complete installation, not a live USB.  When I plug it in my HP desktop I go to the BIOS settings and boot off the hard drive, everything work perfectly as it should. Now this works on every single computer and laptop in my house (all HP), except for ONE. My HP ProBook 4530s.  When I select to boot of the USB I get the message:  error: attempt to read or write outside of disk 'hd0'   Now, I have removed the hard drive from my laptop and the external drive is the ONLY drive plugged in. Below is a screenshot of the message on the screen. After the message I navigate to ls / (as shown below):    After here I try to acces other folders under ls /, for example, I try to go to ls /boot to get to the grub folder. Then I get the same message as before: as shown below:    grub rescue&gt; ls /boot  error: attempt to read or write outside of disk 'hd0' grub rescue&gt; _   The only folders I can access without getting the message again are /home, /run and /usr.   So how do I:   Boot Ubuntu from GRUB2 (this screen) manually Set to automatically boot Ubuntu If possible an explanation for this problem   Thanks! Post Feedback link is broken I first noticed this a while back. But it has yet to resolve itself.  When I click on the  in the 10k tools, it hangs for a while.Then it gives me an error message: Read a file line by line in reverse order I want to add the Apache user (www-data) to the audio group. I've read the man page for useradd, but I'm not having any luck. I'm running xubuntu 11.10. Here's what I'm doing:  $ sudo useradd -G audio www-data useradd: user 'www-data' already exists   If I leave out the -G option, bash, prints the help info for useradd:  $ sudo useradd  audio www-data Usage: useradd [options] LOGIN Options: -b, --base-dir BASE_DIR       base directory for the home directory...   It's not clear to me from the man page what options I should use to make this work. Today, on C.SE, I reviewed some 'Late Answers' and First Posts.  I was not even near my daily vote limit.  And yet, I was given a message that said      comments disabled on deleted / locked posts / reviews   It seems I was not the only one either:   The workaround, of course, was simply to go back and provide the guidance - but was this a design or a bug?  If it is design, why would you want to discourage the feedback? Especially with first posts, there is often a high percentage of 'didn't read the FAQ' usage, which can best be addressed by gently providing guidance. (e.g. "Unfortunately, this doesn't answer the question" or "This reads like a comment" or "This really isn't on-topic here - can I suggest you checkout our [faq]" etc...)  Timely first post guidance goes a long way towards making good users.   If it was a bug, was other functionality silently rolled out? Laplace transform of $1/t$ I tried this way, I only need to know if this is correct or if there are better ways to solve this:  $2^{1000}$ does not have a factor of $5$ obviously therefore we can assume  $$ 10^{m} &lt; 2^{1000} &lt; 10^{m+1}$$ for some  $m$   Assume $ k = 2^{1000}$, then take log on both sides $\log k = 1000  \log 2 \approx 301.02999 &gt; 301$  Therefore $2^{1000}$ has $302$ digits. Java in Eclipse: Where do I put files on the filesystem that I want to load using getResource? (e.g. images for an ImageIcon) I know the file needs to be where the getClass().getResource(filename) can find it, but I don't know where that is.  I'm interested both in where to put the files on the filesystem itself, and how to go about using Eclipse's functionality to set up the resources. Estimate on the derivative at fixed point Let $D$ be a bounded domain and let $f$ be analytic function from $D$ into $D$. Show that if $z_{0}$ $\in D$ is a fixed point for $f$ , then $|f' (z_{0} )| \leq 1$.  WHAT I WAS THINKING:   To have a conformal mapping from $D$ to the unit disc &amp; after composing it with $f$ ; I was thinking to use Pick's Lemma. So, can anyone tell me any conformal map from any bounded domain to the unit disc?? OR Is there any other way out to solve this problem?? How to get the file name from a full path using JavaScript? Is there a way that I can get the last value (based on the '\' symbol) from a full path?  Example:  C:\Documents and Settings\img\recycled log.jpg  With this case, I just want to get recycled log.jpg from the full path in JavaScript. How to set Command Block(s) to test for a particular time and output a message? I simply want one command block to test for the time of day or night (e.g. time = 18000) and output a message in the chat to everyone if that time returns true.  I was trying a simple set-up with two command blocks and a comparator in the middle, but I'm a beginner and am obviously missing the correct syntax (especially to test for a particular time of day, and if true, then trigger the say "message" block).  ETA: Kudos to @Ben for the Daylight Sensor/Redstone idea, but I'd really prefer a Command Block solution for the above, since my plan is to output several messages during the day and night cycle at very specific times in the world. Thanks. MatrixPlot with Tooltips C++ cout hex values? Recover Data from Card that cannnot be read I am trying to help a friend who is very concerned that she has just lost all of the data on her 32GB SanDisk microSD card.  I told her I would post this and see if anyone could offer help.  Here are the details:   The SanDisk microSD card is less than two years old.  Probably only about a year old.  The store will take it back, but that doesn't really help.  She wants her data. She used the card in her Samsung Galaxy S4 smartphone for over a month.  The phone was never exposed to water or temperature extremes. Today, her phone suddenly said something like "Your SD card is blank or an unsupported format". Her phone was then unable to read the SanDisk microSD card at all.   Here's what she has tried:   Rebooting her phone.  Had no effect. Taking out the SanDisk microSD card and putting it inside a full-size SD card adapter, and inserting it into a Windows 7 SP1 computer.  The computer did not recognize its presence at all. Putting the SanDisk microSD card into a USB 2.0 external card reader and inserting the card reader into a USB port on a Windows 7 SP1 computer.  The computer recognized the card reader and installed drivers for it.  The card reader shows up as 'Removable Disk' in Windows Explorer.  Clicking on 'Removable Disk' in Windows Explorer results in the error "Insert disk: Please insert a disk into the Removable Disk". After trying #3, tried opening the 'Removable Disk' in FreeCommander.  Doing so results in the error "The device is not ready".   She does not have access to a linux box, but does have access to her Android phone.  What can she do to recover the data on her 32GB SanDisk microSD card? I want to know, is there a way to make a tungsten lightbulbs filament withstand a mass amount of thermal shock while still producing a vast amount of heat? How to add \part only to TOC? I'm looking for the title of an anthology of children's science fiction stories from the 1950s. The best of the bunch involved a Martian who visited earth, and realized we'd blown ourselves up in a nuclear war and had fallen into savagery. The Martian is a vegetarian who subsists on biscuits made by a machine he brought with him, and communicates by using one of his tentacles to feed messages direction to/from the brain of the person he's talking to.  Inadvertently left behind by his expedition, he initially befriended some children, and eventually managed to rebuild civilization. Presently he dies, but when another expedition comes a generation later, they find the civilization he rebuilt.  there were other stories, but that was the best one.   If I can't find the name of the book it was in, I'd be happy to settle for the name of the author and the title of the story. WCF server-side timeout
