Trying to ssh to my laptop on my android phone with a network created by my laptop, but my android phone can't even see the wireless network I made. Will be carrying laptop around in a backpack. I don't need Internet access, tried refreshing phone, waiting, refreshing. Kali linux, android phone. I tried manually changing the channel. Is it maybe a frequency or channel issue?
I am trying to connect my Galaxy Tab to the Internet through an ad-hoc network made via my PC. The PC ad-hoc settings are fine because I can use it from my iPhone and other devices.
I'm trying to find out what modules  in cpan. So I've used  to mirror it. My problem is that I need to iterate through the archives that are downloaded, and grep the files that are in the archives. Can anyone tell me how I might do this? preferably in a way that tells me which file in the archive and what line it's on.  (note: they aren't all tarballs some are zip files) My windows directory is huge I have always had problems with my windows directory's growing to a huge size.  It started with windows 95 then 98 then 2000 and xp.  Windows 7 however is absolutely huge.  The windows folder itself with out program files is 21.4 gigs...add the program files and other windows files and it is a whopping 32 gigs.  My question is why is it so large and what can I do about it.  At the rate this is going I will be out of space in now time. Hyperlinks clicked in evince document viewer are not opening, any ideas on how to fix? As it was instructed in another thread here in the forums, I opened the /usr/share/applications/mimeinfo.cache file to check for correct references. And noticed this doesn't seem to be the problem, there even are 3 optional browsers to use.  x-scheme-handler/http=google-chrome.desktop;chromium-browser.desktop;firefox.desktop; x-scheme-handler/https=google-chrome.desktop;chromium-browser.desktop;firefox.desktop;   I already checked that the programs are correctly named, using the "which" command in the terminal, like this:  $ which google-chrome $ /usr/bin/google-chrome   So google-chrome should be the first option and yet the order to open a url doesn't seem to be arriving to the program, not even to the 2nd or 3rd option for that matter anyways.  Also, the 'Get help online...' command in the 'Help' menu doesn't work. So it is not a problem with the specific document file either.  I'm running Ubuntu 12.04 LTS. If you need to ask for more relevant details, please do. It would be nice to have various opinions on how to solve this, thank you :-)  UPDATE: I ran evince from the terminal as asked. This is what I'm getting when trying to open a link:  /opt/google/chrome/google-chrome: line 42: /opt/google/chrome/chrome: Permission denied /opt/google/chrome/google-chrome: line 42: /opt/google/chrome/chrome: Success   Should I try the fix you suggested even if my error log is different?  UPDATE: Tried @maggotbrain's solution and BINGO, now I can study pdf references faster thanks to you bro! When do you use Java's @Override annotation and why? How many combinations can I make? let $n \gt 1$ be an integer, and consider $n$ people; $P_1, P_2,..., P_n$ let $A_n$ be the number of ways these $n$ people can be divided into groups, such that each group have either one or two people  determine $A_1, A_2, A_3$  So I have  $A_1 = 1$ way $A_2 = 4$ way $A_3 = 12$ way  But I am not sure if this is right... Can anyone confirm?  edit:  My way of getting this is  $A_1 = 1 $ because {P1} only has 1 way to sort  $A_2 = 4$ because {P1,P2} = {P1,P2},{P2,P1},{P1P2},{P2P1}  etc. Does somebody has an example where the left $R$-modules $R^m$ and $R^n$ are isomorphic for all positive integers $m$, and $n$? This is a special case of , which, I think, might have drawn little attention because it was too general. In this question, I would like to consider a specific case.  Take a classical system given by the action $$ S[x] = \int dt \left[ \frac{\alpha}{2} \ddot{x}^2 + \frac{\beta}{2} \dot{x}^2 + \frac{\gamma}{2} x^2 \right]. $$  This action is Lagrangian, but it is not what we are usually dealing with in physics, because the Lagrangian contains second time derivatives.  The equations of motion are:  $$ \alpha \ddddot{x} - \beta \ddot{x} + \gamma x = 0. $$  This can be solved as usual by employing Fourier transform:  $$ x(t) = a_1 e^{i \omega_1 t} + a_1^{*} e^{-i \omega_1 t} + a_2 e^{i \omega_2 t} + a_2^{*} e^{-i \omega_2 t}, $$  where $\omega_1^2$ and $\omega_2^2$ are the two roots of $\alpha \omega^4 + \beta \omega^2 + \gamma$, given by  $$ \omega_{1,2}^2 = \frac{- \beta \pm \sqrt{\beta^2 - 4 \alpha \gamma}}{2 \alpha} .$$  Now by definition the phase space is the space of solutions of equations of motion. In this case it is parametrized by two complex co-ordinates $a_{1,2}$, meaning that it is 4-dimensional.  I would like to know if there's a natural way to associate the symplectic structure (Poisson bracket) on this phase space. I.e.,  $$ \{a_1, a_1^{*}\} = ? $$ $$ \{a_1, a_2^{*}\} = ? $$ $$ \{a_2, a_1^{*}\} = ? $$ $$ \{a_2, a_2^{*}\} = ? $$ $$ \{a_1, a_2\} = ? $$ $$ \{a_1^{*}, a_2^{*}\} = ? $$ Why are there so many different ways to measure disk usage? When I sum up the sizes of my files, I get one figure. If I run du, I get another figure. If I run du on all the files on my partition, it doesn't match what df claims is used. Why are there so many different figures for the total size of my files? Can't computers add?  Speaking of adding: when I add the “Used” and “Available” columns of df, I don't get the total figure. And that total figure is smaller than the size of my partition. And if I add up my partition sizes I don't get my disk size! What gives? How to format/partition SD card? How can I format or partition SD card in Kubuntu?  Is there an application with GUI for this? I am trying to define an rgb color. More specifically I want to create this color    which in rgb mode it's (98,190,177).  I tried to define this color using the following code  \documentclass{standalone}  \usepackage{tikz}  \begin{document}  \definecolor{tank}{rgb}{0.098,0.190,0.177}  %\definecolor{tank}{rgb}{98,190,177}  \begin{tikzpicture}   \coordinate (tank) at (0,0);   \draw[red, fill=tank] (-2,0.5)--(-0.5,1)--(0.5,1)--(2,0.5)--(2,-0.5)--(0.5,-1)--(-0.5,-1)--(-2,-0.5)--cycle;  \end{tikzpicture} \end{document}   but the output is totally different from what I am trying to achieve    I also tried to use \definecolor{tank}{rgb}{98,190,177} but I get no color at all. How to properly define an rgb color? A positive integer is divisible by $3$ iff 3 divides the sum of its digits I am having trouble proving the two following questions:    If $p|N$, $q|N$ and gcd(p,q)=1, then prove that $pq|N$ If $x$ is non zero positive integer number, then prove that $3|x$ if and only if 3 divides the sum of all digits of $x$.   For both questions I tried to use theorems of discrete mathematics, but I could not find the way to solve them. Why is variance squared? When does an expired domain become available for others to register? Where can questions about our community-run moderation tools be asked? The question  was recently closed due to not being "about the software that powers the Stack Exchange network, within the scope defined in the help center." MEE is Johann Gambolputty made a comment that     SmokeDetector is a community run project to help to fight spam. Therefore your question is unfortunately off-topic for this site. You can find help in  chatroom.   If questions about community run moderation bots (e.g. SmokeDetector, FireAlarm, Natty, Queen, etc.) are off-topic here on Meta Stack Exchange, is there anywhere on the Stack Exchange network where one can post a Question and Answer-style question on them, or are they only on-topic in appropriate chat rooms? One of the most common security best practices these days seems to be . I've never really found a good explanation for that, but I'm assuming it's to minimize the risk of a  malicious or infected script within the webroot from reading the database password.  But, you still have to let WordPress access it, so you need to expand open_basedir to include the directory above the document root. Doesn't that just defeat the entire purpose, and also potentially expose server logs, backups, etc to attackers?  Or is the technique only trying to prevent a situation where wp-config.php would be shown as plain-text to anyone requesting http://example.com/wp-config.php, instead of being parsed by the PHP engine? That seems like a very rare occurance, and it wouldn't outweigh the downsides of exposing logs/backups/etc to HTTP requests.  Maybe it's possible to move it outside the document root in some hosting setups without exposing other files, but not in other setups?    Conclusion:  After a lot of back-and-forth on this issue, two answers have emerged that I think should be considered the authoritative ones. Aaron Adams makes a good case in  wp-config, and chrisguitarguymakes a good . Those are the two answers you should read if you're new to the thread and don't want to read the entire thing. The other answers are either redundant or inaccurate. I'm playing around with fdisk and I tried to create a partition on an empty USB drive. Here's how that went: Command (m for help): n Partition number (1-128, default 1): 1 First sector (34-61187102, default 2048): 2048 Last sector, +/-sectors or +/-size{K,M,G,T,P} (2048-61187102, default 61187102): +30000000           Created a new partition 1 of type 'Linux filesystem' and of size 14,3 GiB.  so just one partition with 30 million sectors. However, when I check how many sectors it contains I get:  I'm checking with a different program and I see again that additional sector:  Sorry for the pettiness :) I'm learning. What is the difference of 3 object declarations of javascript I think sometimes there is a need to post question as anonymous, reason being to avoid linking content of a question with the identity of the questioner. This may not be so evident or required on technical sites like stackoverflow.com but sometimes is a necessity on sites like  or maybe in future depression.stackexchange.com  On such sites user may not want to link his identity to some questions where he may detail about his being over-weight or skinny or maybe some other attribute which he may like to keep private and avoid making his concerns public, but still want to ask a question with valid data.  I am not suggesting that user asking question should not be registered or not responsible for content. I think all down-votes or up-votes should still be attributed to user, but this way most users would not suffer , and reputation could even be used for a bounty. The only change should be that while asking question a valid registered user can hide his identity (the whole user signature block/user card and the reputation should be replaced by "identity-hidden") and that question should not be listed in his public profile.  Anyway identity of questioner doesn't add much value to question. If we think such anonymous question may reduce social nature of Stack Exchange sites, and maybe majority of questions will become anonymous we can curb that by putting a daily or monthly limit per user or put a price of say 50 reputation per anonymous question.  PS: I don't think this is duplicate of        because motive for question and reason for feature request are different, and I propose a different solution too, because creating another account for asking such questions has many problems which having a single account doesn't have    I don't have to manage other account If I keep single account I still may want to keep my details to be linked to my non-anonymous questions I may want to use reputations I earned as bounty for anonymous questions    also allows anonymous questions and may be we can take some hint from there. I was just curious, why is epic a silver badge if only 73 users have been awarded with it?  For example: Silver Epic - 73  Gold Electorate - 193    Edit: My point was to reduce the level of epic, like "hit the daily reputation cap on 30 days" so it becomes some what at par with other silver badges. I've searched websites, written to Mr. Barth and William Safire, scanned bookstore shelves, and buttonholed likely prospects in search of a grammar text that would address matters in the manner of the following, which is from John Barth's "The End of the Road".  If such a text exists, I'd be much obliged to learn of it:  " ... it gives a man a great sense of lucidity and well-being, if not downright formidability, to be able not only to say, but to understand perfectly, that predicate complements of infinitives of copulative verbs without expressed subjects go into the nominative case, whereas predicate complements of infinitives of copulative verbs with expressed subjects go into the objective case.  I made this observation to my assemblage of young scholars and concluded triumphantly, "I was thought to be he, but I thought John to be him."  Thank you.
