I'm pretty new to Ubuntu, been using it for about a week (I love it). Can someone tell me what the best way to install video drivers is? I've been having some troubles. I have a GeForce 750ti and am on 14.04. Thanks in advance.
I've just installed Ubuntu and I need either video, wireless, or some sort of other manufacturer (non-opensource) driver. How can I run the tool that will fetch all of these for me? I'd like graphical instructions.  Related:
Did English ever have a word for 'yes' for negative questions? The Germans have doch and the French have si as a word that means "yes" in response to a negative question, such as:     Don't you want some ice-cream?   Yes [I do]!   In English, we only have yes (as far as I know) and further clarification is required in order to be unambiguous.  Did we ever have such a word in English and, if so, what happened to it? If not, given the French and Germanic influences on English, any idea why not? Would this hypothetical rule change ever matter? One of  is     104.3f If a player would both win and lose the game simultaneously, he or she loses the game.   . However, it seems to me like it "ought to be" the case that if there are only 2 players and  [A loses] ​ [B loses] ​ [B wins]  would occur simultaneously, then B should win, since  win-and-lose-simultaneously should be better than just-lose.  For that reason, it seems like the     Proposed Alternative : ​ ​ ​ If, simultaneously, all players would lose the game and      some players would win the game, then the players who would not win the game      lose the game, and the game is a draw between the remaining players. ​ Otherwise,      if a player would both win and lose the game simultaneously, he or she loses the game.   would make more sense. ​ However, I can't think of any situations in which that would matter.  Are there any possible situations in which my proposed alternative  would yield a different result from the actual rule? Random contacts on my iPhone 5 I recently bought a new iPhone 5. When I was going through my contacts today, I noticed a lot of email adresses stored along with the other numbers. I didn't even know most of them! What has happened? What is time, does it flow, and if so what defines its direction? This is an attempt to gather together the various questions about time that have been asked on this site and provide a single set of hopefully authoritative answers. Specifically we attempt to address issues such as:   What do physicists mean by time? How does time flow? Why is there an arrow of time? Infinite algebraic extension of a finite field I have recently started studying algebraic field extensions and I got to know that algebraic closures $\overline{F}$ of finite fields $F$ are infinite. Therefore, I've asked myself the following question and couldn't come up with an answer.  Suppose $F$ was a finite field, i.e. $|F| &lt; \infty$. Is it possible to construct an algebraic extension $F'$ of $F$ sucht that $|F'| = \infty$ and $F' \subsetneq \overline{F}$? Meaning, that $F'$ is not algebraically closed. Does a US citizen traveling by plane in Mexico (international flight), for example from Mexicali to Mexico City need to have a passport? Output URL of open firefox tabs in terminal Boy goes insane during space travel I'm trying to remember the name of a short story I read about 25 years ago or so. I'd also like to know of any collections it appeared in.   The details I recall involve a family who are embarking on a hyperspace journey. To undertake this journey you have to be put to sleep. One of the children pretends to be asleep, and when the jump is complete the child has gone insane. From the child's point of view the jump lasted for an eternity while in reality it was only a few seconds. Is there any way to increase the drop rate of items? Vi on Linux: show ^M line endings for DOS-format files On Solaris, if you open a file in vi that has Windows line endings, this shows up as ^M at the end of every line.  On Linux, vi is cleverer and understands the Windows file format, and does not display ^M.  Is there a setting to make Linux vi behave the same as Solaris in this respect?  A common problem for us is copying a shell script off a (Windows) dev box and forgetting to dos2unix it, and then being confused when it doesn't work properly. On Solaris the problem is obvious as soon as you vi the file, but not on Linux.  Thanks. What is the benefit of launching a satellite "a few days before the monthly report" I've seen this hint in the game as well as on this site and I've been wondering if there is any specific advantage to launching satellites closer to the monthly report rather than any time during that month.  The way I see it, monthly maintenance costs are taken out during the reports (correct me if i'm wrong), so regardless of when you launch it during the month it would cost the same.   Is the benefit of holding on to them longer simply a safety net in case some countries go into the red during that time? find a $\int_{x}^{g(x)} f(t)\,dt = 1$ I need to be able to compare some month names I have in an array.  It would be nice if there were some direct way like:  Month.toInt("January") &gt; Month.toInt("May")   My Google searching seems to suggest the only way is to write your own method, but this seems like a common enough problem that I would think it would have been already implemented in .Net, anyone done this before? Over the past few weeks, there have been a number of complaints about users making suggested edits en masse whose quality was at least questionable.  Let an example of a low-quality edit be the addition of the web-frameworks tag to dozens of questions about the PHP web framework Laravel. No one is ever going to use it in a search, but Laravel is a framework, right?  (If you disagree about this being a low-quality edit, please  bear with me anyway - my point here is that the system through which such conflicts could be settled is broken.)   Examples          This is a toxic situation guaranteed to create strife because -   The new user is happy to have found a way to participate and earn some rep; they may be genuinely feeling that they are improving the site. The reviewers greenlighting most of their suggestions confirms them in their belief.   The reviewers usually see only one edit - and it's easy to see how they might go, "meh, this isn't a terribly useful edit, but hey, maybe it helps someone, and it's a new user. No point discouraging them."   The veteran users who check out the editor see dozens of what they perceive as low-quality edits, usually ignoring anything else that should be fixed in the post. To the veterans, the new user is systematically looking for excuses to make their pointless edits, creating a giant mess in order to  gain some rep - a mess they have to clean up, while there are no consequences for the editor, who gets to keep their ill-gotten points. While a bad question or answer can be downvoted - usually leading to a change of behaviour eventually - the edit system looks like it's wide open for gaming.   So tensions are high, and when there's dialog it can be angry. I'm not saying either side is completely right. I'm completely prepared to believe that many of these edits are in good faith, etc. But it's a mess because it's frustrating people. As said, there are no consequences for bad-faith mass editing; apart from commenting on some random post, there is no way to communicate with an editor. The outcome of a moderator flag is very much uncertain.  The absence of a clear set of rules means there's plenty of room for heated arguments.    Something needs to change here.  Either   We need super clear rules on what makes a good tag edit Tag-only edits should be allowed only for 2k+ users, or they should not gain 2 reputation points for &lt;2k users The possible 1000 rep gain for suggested edits needs to be rate-limited (say, 200 per month) (this is my favourite!) The possible 1000 rep gain for suggested edits needs to be lowered, say to 500 or 250 Rollbacks of suggested edits should result in annulment of the 2 points gained (this is terrible) There should be a system to vote on edits (yes, that's been suggested before) There should be a defined and officially sanctioned pathway, and ruleset, for moderator flags cast about these users    ... or something else. But something needs to give. Path-connected and locally connected space that is not locally path-connected "Use self" doesn't work? I'm currently working with drivers in Blender 2.81 and want to use self but it doesn't work.   For example drive the rotation by the location, I'm adding a driver to the rotation, check the Use Self box and write self.location.x  Blender return the message: ERROR Invalid Python expression.  Have I missed something, is it a bug?  edit: After my lie down, I posted  on SO. As I suspected would happen, it got moved to programmers. Unfortunately, the kind of people I'm interested in getting answers from (litb,skeet et al - the top SO programmers in their respective disciplines) don't frequent Programmers much. So my question is, where to ask somewhat non-specific questions of high-powered users?
