I want rid of XP and as my laptop is 7 years old I thought Lubuntu would fit the bill. I've downloaded it but I can't find a program on XP to open it.
This is the third time I've tried to install Ubuntu Server 14.04.03 64-bit on the same laptop, and each time it caused different problems.  Each time I wrote the same iso image to a USB flash drive by using a different application and OS.   Universal USB Installer (pendrivelinux.com) from Windows WinImage writer from Windows built-in image writer from Linux Mint 17.2    The iso image is the same in all three cases, the USB flash drive is the same, and the laptop is the same. However each time the installation of Ubuntu gave me different installation options. For example, the last time I installed Ubuntu, it didn't show all the packages to choose while installing (Basic Ubuntu server, etc.).

Thanks in advance. Associates in Integral Domain Let $x$ and $y$ be nonzero elements of an integral domain $D$. Then $x$ and $y$ are associates if and only if $x = yd$ for some unit $d \in D$.    I am done proving the $\Leftarrow$ part. For $\Rightarrow$ what I did was: If $x$ and $y$ are associates then $x \mid y$ and $y \mid x$, so $x \mid y$ implies that $xs = y$ for some $s \in D$ and $y \mid x$ implies that $yt = x$ for some $t \in D$. That is, $yts=y$ which implies $ts=1$. Therefore $s$ is a unit and $t$ is a unit.    Am I on the right track? Can I say that the proof is complete? How to stop the Facebook app from updating itself automatically? I have the Facebook app installed on my Android 7 phone.   Auto-update is disabled for all applications on my Play Store account I have disabled installation from unknown sources   For some reason, whenever there is an update of the Facebook app, it automatically updates itself even though I disabled auto-updates for all applications.

I am stuck between 'has been' and 'was' in the above sentences.

I engaged with some enemy NPCs, and accidentally shot a civilian in the head (though not sure it would've mattered if I hit them somewhere else or not) as they ran across my screen. As a result of this, I was alerted by the game that the NCPD (the police) were automatically en route to 'investigate', and that I could avoid them by leaving the area and &quot;lying low for a while&quot;. How long does it take for the police to stop searching for me, and is there any kind of visual information on the HUD that alerts me to when NCPD is or is no longer looking for me?

Space before chapters and contents I am using LaTeX to write my dissertation, and I have realised that on the table of contents and on every chapter page, LaTeX leaves a lot of empty space.  What I mean is that lets say in the page where chapter 1 begins, from the top of the page until the chapter title there is much more vertical space than on any other page. The same goes with chapter 2 etc... and for contents page as well.   Can anybody help me to remove that space? Is there any mistake in my code or something like that? Is this a default of LaTeX?  the preamble is  \documentclass[12pt,twoside]{report} \pagestyle{plain} \usepackage{a4paper} \usepackage{setspace} \doublespacing  \usepackage{amssymb} \usepackage{amsmath}    I've tried the methods below, but none of them work properly. change folder icons in ubuntu-mono-dark theme
