I have downloaded the ISO from the website and have burned a DVD disc. I now want to load UBUNTU onto my PC and do not know how to proceed, please help.
I would like to see a full how-to guide on how to install Ubuntu.
If you, for example, have to add a person to an application whilst that person is on the phone, how do you politely ask for that person's gender if the voice and/or name has not proven decisive?  To clarify why I posted this question on this site: I was looking for an answer within the context of the English language and usage. The given answers have proven that this question really isn't off-topic, other languages know different distinctions that are relevant to addressing this issue. 'Possible duplicate' comment not appearing for questions with deleted comments containing the link I posted a comment to a duplicate question on . But I decided to delete it. Afterwards I voted as duplicate and thought a comment would be generated like     possible duplicate of ...   But it didn't. My guess is that the duplicate-comment won't be generated if a comment exists with that link, even if deleted. Precise back-reference target with hyperref and backref In C#/VB.NET/.NET, which loop runs faster, for or foreach?  Ever since I read that a for loop works faster than a foreach loop a  I assumed it stood true for all collections, generic collections, all arrays, etc.  I scoured Google and found a few articles, but most of them are inconclusive (read comments on the articles) and open ended.  What would be ideal is to have each scenario listed and the best solution for the same.  For example (just an example of how it should be):   for iterating an array of 1000+ strings - for is better than foreach for iterating over IList (non generic) strings - foreach is better than for   A few references found on the web for the same:               [Edit]  Apart from the readability aspect of it, I am really interested in facts and figures. There are applications where the last mile of performance optimization squeezed do matter. Unlock by fingerprint only Password protect files/folders using cli I have some important documents that I need to protect from anyone else having access to my machine.   The problem being the other persons have access to my machine via root account so changing the file permissions is not a option for me. I have seen apps like cryptkeeper but I was wondering can I password protect my files/folder by command line mode in ubuntu. How did the transdimensional Edo god (Edo lord) come to be the overseer of the Edo? What is the difference between a symbolic link and a hard link? Recently I was asked this during a job interview. I was honest and said I knew how a symbolic link behaves and how to create one, but do not understand the use of a hard link and how it differs from a symbolic one. Word that means "the opposite of what you would expect" I'm looking for a word that means the opposite of what one would expect. This word might be used to express the surprise that a teenager's grandmother uses text messaging much more than he does, or that a city seems brighter at night than it does during the day.   I'm not seeking the word ironic or irony which refer to the use of something to describe its opposite experience or emotion. Can newsletters take into account a user's favorite tags on that site? Stack Overflow is huge and varied. Wouldn't it be great if I could just subscribe to a newsletter with a list of my favorite tags? If I love dealing with , I think it would make sense for my version of the newsletter to focus more on Android questions.  Or, if I sign up for the  newsletter, but don't own a Mac, it would be nice if I my newsletter would focus on the part of the site I do follow (i.e., iOS).  So I would like to suggest that the newsletters for each site (optionally) take into account the user's favorited and ignored tags for that site.  I know that you can receive emails about specific filters, but I don't think that's a good solution for users who already receive the newsletter. Most of the questions it highlights cover topics that I have no interest in. It would be much better if I could filter out all the noise and get down to my likely favorites. Can different gauge wiring be used in the same circuit? Folland, "Real Analysis", Chapter 5.3, Exercise 36:     Let $\mathcal{X}$ be a separable Banach space and let $\mu$ be   counting measure on $\mathbf{N}$.  Suppose that   $\left\{x_n\right\}_1^\infty$ is a countable dense subset of the unit   ball of $\mathcal{X}$, and define $T \colon L^1(\mu) \to \mathcal{X}$   by $Tf = \sum_1^\infty f(n) x_n$.  (a)  $T$ is bounded.  (b)  $T$ is   surjective.   I have proved (a).  I would like help on (b).  Here are my ideas so far.    Say we want to show $y \in \mathcal{X}$ is in the image of $T$.  Reduce to the case $||y|| = 1$ and let $x_{n_m} \to y$.  My thought is to produce for each $N$ a function $f_N \in L^1(\mu)$ such that $||y - \sum_n^\infty f(n)x_n|| &lt; 1/N$ and also such that the $f_N$ converge in $L^1(\mu)$ to some $f \in L^1(\mu)$.  Then use the continuity of $T$ to conclude $T(f) = y$.    The way I have been setting up my inequalities is as follows. Pick $M_N$ such that for all $m &gt; M_N$, $||y - x_{n_m}|| &lt; 1/N$.  Then I want to define $f_N$ so that $$\sum_n^\infty f_N(n) = \sum_{m &gt; M_N}^\infty f_N(m) = 1, $$ hence $$||y - T(f_N)|| = ||\sum_{m &gt; M_N}^\infty f_N(m) y + \sum_n^\infty f_N(n)x_n|| \leq \sum_{m &gt; M_N}^\infty f_N(m) || y - x_{n_m} || &lt; \frac{1}{N}. $$  Presumably, if the $f_N$ are appropriately chosen, then I can find a dominating function and apply the Dominated Convergence Theorem to finish up.    However, getting all these hypotheses to hold simultaneously has been difficult.  In essence, the difficulty seems to be in requiring that the $f_N$ be "normalized" as well as possess a dominating function.  If this method is feasible, at least it seems to require a bit of analysis to show the desired series all converge.  Perhaps I am missing something cleaner.  If so, a simpler solution would be much appreciated.    -Thanks. How to find architecture of my PC and Ubuntu? What are the antonyms of "append" and "prepend"? 3D software like GeoGebra Does it exist a free interactive geometry software, like GeoGebra, which works for 3D geometry? I would be able to draw spheres, great circles, and so on. How to download all required Ubuntu drivers Is there a package of Ubuntu drivers as driver pack solution?

Trying to use "Difference" tool gives out "'QgsWKBTypes' is not defined" error I am trying to separate two overlapping vector layers and find out the difference in QGIS 2.18. I have tried finding difference with layers with points and also with buffers. Both of them give following error:  global name 'QgsWKBTypes' is not defined See log for more details   I have searched the web for this but can't seem to find a solution.
