When I try to install I don't get the option to install alongside with windows but I only have the option of creating partition! What should I do to install alongside with windows? Please help me !
I'm absolutely new to Linux. I would like to know how to install Ubuntu alongside the pre-installed Windows 8+ OS.  Should I do it with Wubi, or through the Live USB/DVD?  What steps do I need to take to correctly install Ubuntu?

Scatterplot with too many points Using matplotlib in pygame 1.7.4 Problem with mobs spawning Player looses boot after tackle Fantasy novel with amnesiac witch, impotent soldier and cursed animals The story is set in a vaguely medieval world in which a young woman has been cursed by the evil witch who has enslaved her and caused her to lose her memory. With the aid of her talking animal friends who have also been cursed (toad has a huge stone under his tongue meaning he can't feed and a crow with a gem embedded in its wing and there's a little grey kitten too who never grows up) she sets out on a journey to break the curse for herself and her friends. Along the way she meets an injured unicorn and a horny-but-moral soldier rendered impotent by a curse after refusing the disguised witch's sexual advances.  After adventures there's a 'happy ever after' for all of the heroes and the witch meets a sticky end.    In the UK the book had a deep red cover with an illustration. I read it in either the 1990's or the early 2000's. Cracking book, definitely for adults given some of the situations, language and humour. keyboard hard remap keys? I want to buy a new notebook in the near future to play games on it. I'm looking forward for the new Steam for Linux client. My question is that where does the Steam install the games, on the home partition, or in the usr folder, or somewhere else? I do not use pre-release (i.e. beta) versions of either Steam or Ubuntu. We know (from the accidents that happened between 1999-2005) that      The Sith rely on their passion for their strength. They think inward, only about themselves.   and we also know that     Always two there are, no more, no less. A master and an apprentice.   And from the EU, we know that each Sith apprentice will (try to) kill and replace their master at some point, in order to become the one who bundles the entirety of the Sith power (so to say).    Q1: Given these points, why do Sith bother to take up apprentices at all? It doesn't make sense to pass on their knowledge of the dark side, because they only care about themselves, and it would also contradict this philosophy to teach competition that will endanger their power and ultimately their life.    Q2: As a special case of this question in The Empire Strikes Back, Vader tries to turn Luke by saying     Luke, you can destroy the Emperor. He has foreseen this. It is your destiny. Join me, and together we can rule the galaxy as father and son.   (emphasis by me)  Now, the same question rises: If the Emperor has foreseen that Luke can destroy him, why would he want Luke to become a Sith? How to disable automount in nautilus's preferences Why does the series $\sum_{n=1}^\infty\frac1n$ not converge? Can someone give a simple explanation as to why the       $$\sum_{n=1}^\infty\frac1n=\frac 1 1 + \frac 12 + \frac 13 + \cdots $$   doesn't converge, on the other hand it grows very slowly?

Update: (Originally this was a comment, but I thought it was worth sharing here at the top.)   In the original question, I asked if there was a polite, socially-acceptable way to ask an Indian co-worker not to use the phrase "do the needful", as I didn't care for it.   In the years since I asked this question I've asked many people about the phrase. To the Indians I've asked in-person, it's not rude in any way. To Americans I've asked it varies anywhere from "I don't like it, but I don't mind it" to "It's very rude and makes me angry when I see it".   Through a long series of edits the question morphed and I wasn’t able to delete it because it had upvoted answers. The question, as it stands now, has no other answer.  I guess, though, if you're non-Indian and you find it rude, or if you're Indian and you've never realized someone might find it rude, this post may still have merit. Hopefully it does. It certainly has gotten a lot of views. Best wishes, folks.  End Update. See below for what's left of the actual question.    "Do the needful."   It's a phrase that I've only seen used in email, and I find it . . . presumptuous (maybe even rude). Regardless of prefacing with "please", one is commanding rather than asking for assistance.  I've only seen it used by those of Indian origin, so I've simply not mentioned it at all rather than worry about any cross-cultural offense that may come of bringing it up.  But still, I don't understand why it's used. Why not request rather than make two statements, one factual, one imperative?  For example, why would one use:        I'm told you have Jane's email address. Please do the needful.      instead of,        Would you send me Jane's email address?

Compute $\int_0^\infty\frac{\cos(xt)}{1+t^2}dt$ Let $x \in \mathbb R$  Find a closed form of $\int_0^\infty\dfrac{\cos(xt)}{1+t^2}dt$ .   Let me give some context: this is an exercise from an improper integrals course for undergraduates. My teacher was not able to give a valid solution without  resorting to Fourier series.   He actually wanted to prove first that the function is a solution of the ODE $$ y-y'' =0$$ without succeeding in proving it.   Anyway the result sould be $\dfrac{\pi}{2}e^{-x}$  Thanks for any help on this subject.
