As anyone who has ever used a Mac knows, you can drag left or right on the track pad to switch workspaces. I would love to know if anyone has a way to do this on Ubuntu (14.04) whether this be with tying gestures to key combos or another way.   Thanks for all the answers!
I was talking to a friend who owns a Mac. He has his set up so that when he swipes three fingers across his touchpad, it moves to the workspace in that direction. Is it possible to set this up in Ubuntu?
How to set a short password on Ubuntu? With services like Google Finance or Yahoo Finance it is very convenient to find the historical stock price metric of a listed company, but if the company is not listed, I can't find the data.  For example, I want to see the price metrics for Macromedia, which had been listed in 1993 on NASDAQ (MACR), then acquired by Adobe in 2005. How could I find its historical price metrics? Can the Flash do things like build muscle faster than normal (do his muscles grow right after a work-out or meal)? Can he heal faster than normal? Does he have a faster immune system to stop all illness or at least make the flu last 2 minutes or something along those lines? What is a current replacement of gnome-open command (generic open of files based on the type)?  Before:   gnome-open mydoc.pdf  # opened PDF in default application   Now:  gnome-open The program 'gnome-open' is currently not installed.  You can install it by typing: sudo apt-get install libgnome2-0 So, today is July 21st and . gives me an option to download 16.04.1 LTS. However, attempting to upgrade gets me this message -  $ sudo do-release-upgrade Checking for a new Ubuntu release No new release found   What is wrong? Does it matter that I am running apt-get update behind apt-cacher-ng?  Note: Commenting out the files in apt.conf.d that used apt-cacher-ng did not make a difference.  Edit: Explanation for possible duplicates:  deals with upgrade from 12.04LTS to 14.04LTS. My question is specific to 14.04 LTS to 16.04.1 LTS upgrade. Old answers, while good for archival purposes are less relevant in a fast changing package like ubuntu. Moreover none of the answers answer what is wrong. The link  pointed out is mentioned in one of the comments. This Q &amp; A is more helpful for people upgrading today than the work around mentioned in "". Prove that if $P$ is a $p$-Sylow subgroup of $G$ and $N \triangleleft\&gt; G$ then:    $ PN/N $ is a $p$-Sylow subgroup of $G/N$ $P \cap N $ is a $p$-Sylow subgroup of $N$ Which direction will the yoyo move? RegEx for matching UK Postcodes Scale settings for exporting to STL (for 3d printing) I've set my Units (in scene properties) to Metric, and the Scene Scale to 0.01 hoping to get the Blender dimensions it mm's. While the (normal) scale is 1 for x,y,z, the standard cube has the dimensions 2x2x2 cm. When I export this to an STL and open it in a slicing program (Netfabb, Slic3r or Cura) they all give the dimensions: 2x2x2 mm. While exporting, the scale is 1.  What am I doing wrong? I hope you can help me.  Thanks! In Einstein's General Relativity, do the space-time dimensions curve according to the positions of stars, planets, and masses? Is there a word for people who always act too friendly in order to curry favor with their acquaintances? Is there a single noun or adjective for a person who is always flattering friends and acquaintances, not only to be liked and accepted but, at other times, to curry favor with them as well ?  I'm not looking for regionalisms but a word that will be understood in any English speaking country. Is it correct to say I electrocuted my friend if he was only injured by electricity? I'm looking to find out if there's any easy way to calculate the number of ways to tile a $3 \times 2n$ rectangle with dominoes. I was able to do it with the two codependent recurrences  f(0) = g(0) = 1 f(n) = f(n-1) + 2g(n-1) g(n) = f(n) + g(n-1)   where $f(n)$ is the actual answer and $g(n)$ is a helper function that represents the number of ways to tile a $3 \times 2n$ rectangle with two extra squares on the end (the same as a $3 \times 2n+1$ rectangle missing one square).  By combining these and doing some algebra, I was able to reduce this to  f(n) = 4f(n-1) - f(n-2)   which shows up as sequence , confirming that this is the correct recurrence.  The number of ways to tile a $2 \times n$ rectangle is the Fibonacci numbers because every rectangle ends with either a verticle domino or two horizontal ones, which gives the exact recurrence that Fibonacci numbers do. My question is, is there a similar simple explanation for this recurrence for tiling a $3 \times 2n$ rectangle? Remember my "sort by" setting when browsing favorite site feeds Opening the menu and selecting an item from the "Favorite Sites" menu allows us to see a feed for a specific site. In the top right corner of this page is a drop-down which allows us to select the "sort order" for the posts. The default is "Active" with other options like "Newest", "Hot", etc.  The problem is that when I select "Newest" or any other option. This preference is not remembered when I change between a different "Favorite Site".  So I am requesting that the selection is persisted when changing between site feeds. I have no preference whether this is implemented per site (to allow a different default for each site) or just one single preferred default that works on all sites (last option selected). I just want it to remember that I have selected "Newest" when I am flicking though the sites. Is the "omniscient-omnipotent-omnipresent" definition of God consistent? is commonly defined as an  (infinite knowledge),  (unlimited power),  (present everywhere) entity.  Is there any logical  in this definition?  I have seen several paradoxes like below     Does God know what he's going to do   tomorrow? If so, could he do something   else?" If God knows what will happen,   and does something else, he's not   omniscient. If he knows and can't   change it, he's not omnipotent.      "Can 'an omnipotent being' create a   stone so heavy that it cannot lift   it?"   Do they mean that the defintion of God ( as commonly held) is logically inconsistent? When is the order of convergence of Newton-Raphson greater than 2? If some function $f$ has a simple root at $x_*$ then I know that the order of convergence of the Newton-Raphson iteration is at least 2. But when is this order strictly greater than 2? Please add TeX rendering on the Android app Clear named (and lored) item from players inventory 1.13 In 1.12, the command:  clear @p paper 0 1 {display:{Name:"[Winning Ticket] Musical Minecarts",Lore:[" Take this ticket to the reward "," collections at the entrance of the ", " Games area to claim your prize! "]}}   would remove a piece of paper with that specific name and lore from the player's inventory. I assumed the 1.13 conversion would be:   execute at @p as @p run clear @s paper{display:{Name:"[Winning Ticket] Musical Minecarts",Lore:[" Take this ticket to the reward "," collections at the entrance of the ", " Games area to claim your prize! "]}} 1   but this doesn't work. As well as this, the command:  give @p minecraft:paper{display:{Name:"[Winning Ticket] Musical Minecarts",Lore:[" Take this ticket to the reward "," collections at the entrance of the ", " Games area to claim your prize! "]}} 1   only gives the item, without the custom display name, despite the lore being correct. What is the correct syntax for these two commands? Uk tourist visa - duration of stay My mother is given a UK tourist visa for 2 years with a duration of stay as 180 days. It is a c type multiple entry visa.
