What's the difference between this to options to install and manage packages?  And which one is better to use for regular LaTeX typesetting?
For a lot of questions here on TeX.SE and on other fora regarding MiKTeX, it turns out that the underlying problem actually lies in the not understood distinction between administrative and user modes. So let me ask these questions:  What’s the difference between administrative and user mode in MiKTeX, and in which situation should I use either one of these modes?

Are there some registry values to modify this behaviour? MacBook Pro stuck in gray screen when booting I've got a Late-2011 15" MacBook Pro stuck in the gray screen when booting AFTER login. I've tried removing the drive (it's non-retina) and booting from a working bootable Yosemite installer, no luck. (it sees the startup USB drive, the progress bar progresses, but stuck at the gray screen again even without a drive.  Tried NVRAM reset (cmd option P R), it has reset (the login sound's volume changed) but nothing changed.  Tried holding D on startup, AHT doesn't start, instead, it tries to boot into the OS.  Tried Cmd V, it sometimes works and displays the verbose output, sometimes, it acts like I haven't even pressed. Again, stuck after login.  Tried booting again from USB, I select USB (after seeing both drives correctly), but no luck, it's also stuck.  I've stumbled upon this:    I've tried booting into single user mode with Cmd S, it worked ONCE, I've disabled the graphics extensions just as shown at that post, restarted, but again, nothing changed.  More weirdly, now the Cmd S doesn't work either. It just takes me to login screen without showing the terminal, just as I haven't pressed anything.  Why would this happen? Why would a Mac refuse to enter hardware test mode, single user mode, or refuse to boot from a working bootable Yosemite drive both with or without the main drive installed?  UPDATE: I've run the AHT and got an error:  4MEM/66/40000000: 0x84e0ec98  It looks like a memory issue, but I'm not sure.   UPDATE 2: I've tried reinserting the RAMs and the the problem is not reported anymore. However, the Mac still won't boot.

In bash, read after a pipe is not setting values In Drupal 8 you can load an entity with:  $node = \Drupal::entityManager()-&gt;getStorage('node')-&gt;load(123);   This looks for the entity definitions and finds that node is defined by Drupal\node\Entity\Node - so (I guess) Drupal\node\NodeStorage will instantiate a new Drupal\node\Entity\Node instance.  What I'd like to achieve is subclassing Drupal\node\Entity\Node and being able to instantiate this subclass when it's appropriate. For example if I have a node bundle article, there would be a class:  namespace Drupal\my_module\Entity\Article; class Article extends Drupal\node\Entity\Node { }   And I'd call:  $node = \Drupal::entityManager()-&gt;getStorage('node_article')-&gt;load(123);   And the return would be my Article subclass.  I can achieve this by creating a new entity type and wiring it back to another existing entity definitions, for example the node-article example would be this class:  namespace Drupal\my_module\Entity; use Drupal\node\Entity\Node; /**  * @ContentEntityType(  *   id = "node_article",  *   label = @Translation("Content"),  *   bundle_label = @Translation("Content type"),  *   handlers = {  *     "storage" = "Drupal\node\NodeStorage",  *     "storage_schema" = "Drupal\node\NodeStorageSchema",  *     "view_builder" = "Drupal\node\NodeViewBuilder",  *     "access" = "Drupal\node\NodeAccessControlHandler",  *     "views_data" = "Drupal\node\NodeViewsData",  *     "form" = {  *       "default" = "Drupal\node\NodeForm",  *       "delete" = "Drupal\node\Form\NodeDeleteForm",  *       "edit" = "Drupal\node\NodeForm"  *     },  *     "route_provider" = {  *       "html" = "Drupal\node\Entity\NodeRouteProvider",  *     },  *     "list_builder" = "Drupal\node\NodeListBuilder",  *     "translation" = "Drupal\node\NodeTranslationHandler"  *   },  *   base_table = "node",  *   data_table = "node_field_data",  *   revision_table = "node_revision",  *   revision_data_table = "node_field_revision",  *   translatable = TRUE,  *   list_cache_contexts = { "user.node_grants:view" },  *   entity_keys = {  *     "id" = "nid",  *     "revision" = "vid",  *     "bundle" = "type",  *     "label" = "title",  *     "langcode" = "langcode",  *     "uuid" = "uuid",  *     "status" = "status",  *     "uid" = "uid",  *   },  *   bundle_entity_type = "node_type",  *   field_ui_base_route = "entity.node_type.edit_form",  *   common_reference_target = TRUE,  *   permission_granularity = "bundle",  *   links = {  *     "canonical" = "/node/{node}",  *     "delete-form" = "/node/{node}/delete",  *     "edit-form" = "/node/{node}/edit",  *     "version-history" = "/node/{node}/revisions",  *     "revision" = "/node/{node}/revisions/{node_revision}/view",  *   }  * )  */ class Article extends Node { }  // Results my Article sub type. $node = \Drupal::entityManager()-&gt;getStorage('node_article')-&gt;load(123);   This works fine (as much as I can see); however, it smells. It adds a new entity type, which is not true, and might cause other troubles in the future.  How do I define a subclass for an entity bundle so that loading the entity would return an object of that class? I used to work as a consultant and have been spoiled with nice looking slides. For instance, being able to create slides that have 2, 3, or 4 graphs (perfectly positioned and with nice headers!) at the click of a mouse button via macros.  Similarly, there are many other kinds of word slides that had multiple columns, etc. that would be nice to recreate as well as objects like "main point" boxes at the bottom that summarize a main point and ways to add a transparent highlight to any part of the screen.  Is this kind of functionality far beyond anything that LaTeX presentations can do or is there an archive somewhere of code for making more intricate presentations? Is there a way to merge to two bars in GNOME 3? Best case scenario would be to have one single bottom or top bar that has all the symbols on the left side and the rest like the time indicator, connections, on/off button, etc. on the right side.  Is that possible in any way? Increase partition size on which Ubuntu is installed? I have Ubuntu installed on a drive. The problem is it is running low on disk space. This is installed on vmware. I expanded the virtual drive and booted into ubuntu. But when I opened gparted(sudo gparted), the move/resize option is unavailable. This is the partition Ubuntu is installed on, but I need to resize it. Any ideas?
