I'm just very new trying another operating system but me being into the music world needs a DAW, particularly Ableton...  I see it is possible to download but how should I proceed?
So I decided to install my copy of Ableton (v9.1) on my computer now that I've upgraded to a machine that isn't ancient. HOWEVER Despite WineHQ reporting that Ableton is platinum-certified, I can't get the dern thing to open.  It crashes out just as the splash screen pops up.  Sometimes I see it, sometimes not.  It tells me that some catastrophic error has occurred, and it needs to close.  I've tried this on two different systems running two different versions of wine  (One runs the up-to-date public distro 1.6.2, while the machine I actually want to install it on is running the 1.7.19)  I don't know what to do.  I'd really just like to get this working, as my friends really like the look and feel of Ableton, and I really don't like LMMS (Linux-y free Audio Software).  Any idea what's going on here? I've found a couple of other people who seem to be having the same problem as me, but no dice on any solutions.  None provided, really.

Error mounting NTFS partition after hybrid shutdown with Windows 8 I've got this error and I can't access my files located in a different partition when I'm using Ubuntu, but when I'm using Windows 8 my files are accessible. I'm using Ubuntu as my main OS. I tried shutting down Windows 8 properly but still nothing happened. Is there any way where this can be fixed?  Error mounting /dev/sda4 at /media/kris/BackUp Files:  Command-line `mount -t "ntfs" -o "uhelper=udisks2,nodev,nosuid,uid=1000,gid=1000,dmask=0077,fmask=0177" "/dev/sda4" "/media/kris/BackUp Files"' exited with non-zero exit status 14:  The disk contains an unclean file system (0, 0). Metadata kept in Windows cache, refused to mount. Failed to mount '/dev/sda4': Operation not permitted The NTFS partition is in an unsafe state. Please resume and shutdown Windows fully (no hibernation or fast restarting), or mount the volume read-only with the 'ro' mount option. Evaluate the following integral:  $$\int \frac{\sqrt{\sin ^4x+\cos ^4x}}{\sin ^3x \cos x }dx$$ where $x \in \big(0,\frac{\pi}{2} \big)$  Could some give me hint as how to approach this question?  I tried to use the fact that $\sin ^4x+\cos ^4x=1-\frac{sin^22x}{2}$ but it didn't help. How should I proceed? There have been several discussions regarding code-only answers (answers that contain only code blocks with no textual explanation whatsoever):         Personally, I can't see why the quality filter should let such answers through at all. The main problem I have with code-only answers, especially once they're flagged as not an answer or very low quality, is that we can't determine at a glance whether these answers are:   Genuinely attempting to answer the question  answers Trying to correct an error in the question without actually answering it Random code dumps that may or may not relate to the question even by programming language or keyword(s) in the question   In particular, what exactly is an "informative code-only answer"? Does it mean the code is self-documenting? Does it mean the code substitutes code comments for a proper write-up? This is all very fuzzy. From  to the last question above:     I have never seen a code-only answer that couldn't be made better with the addition of appropriate text. They are of lower-quality than the same answer with some text.   This text makes all the difference, IMO, between an answer and a non-answer. Without it, it's often needlessly difficult to tell.  Existing code-only answers that are good-faith attempts to answer the question should be edited or downvoted, yes. But if the quality filter already tries to block code-only questions, why not block code-only answers too? These answers are often low quality, and (almost) always have ample room for improvement, just like questions.

Man creates miniature population on different time-scale; uses them to invent the 'absolute protection' dome Is there a typo in the name of the "Joga Bounito" hat? We have currently a hat called "Joga Bounito":    Bounito? Which language is that?  It is clearly a latin-derived language, so not English, German, Arabic, Chinese...   In Portuguese it should be "Joga Bonito" (which means "Plays beautifully"). I'm not sure about Spanish, but I guess that it should be then "Juega Bonito". I'm not sure about Italian either, but I guess that it should be "Gioca Bel". In French (not sure) it should be "Joue Beau". In Romen (really unsure) it should be "Joacă Frumos".   So, the best guess is that it is in Portuguese. Further this hat is basically a soccer ball, and in this year we had the FIFA World Cup in Portuguese-speaking Brazil, which is known for being a country where soccer is the main sport. So "Joga Bounito" would really be Portuguese.  But there is a small problem. It has a typo: It should not be "Bounito", it should be "Bonito". postfix doesn't work after iptables set up What price is a limit buy and a limit sell order settled at? A market has an existing limit buy order at $1.00.  The market then receives a limit sell order at $0.95, what price is the transaction settled at? Find the maximum value of the expression ${\frac {x}{1+x^2}} + {\frac {y}{1+y^2}}+{\frac {z}{1+z^2}}$. Find the maximum value of the expression :   $${\frac {x}{1+x^2}} + {\frac {y}{1+y^2}}+{\frac {z}{1+z^2}}$$   where $x,y,z$ are real numbers satisfying the condition that $x+y+z=1$.   Taking $x=y=z=\frac {1}{3}$, I get the expression as $\frac {3x}{1+x^2}$, which is equal to $\frac {1}{1+{\frac{1}{9}}}$ or $\frac {9}{10}$.  How can I actually solve the problem without making unnecessary assumptions ? What is the meaning of "would", and how to use it? What is the meaning of would, and which tense is it used in the following sentences?  For example,   That would be Ram calling. I'll answer it. (the meaning of would and which tense is used) The guy on the phone had southern accent. That would be Tom. (the meaning of would and which tense is used) “We saw a police helicopter overhead yesterday morning.” “Really? They would have been looking for those bank robbers.” (the meaning of would and which tense is used) You would have to say/do that. (Why is would used here? What happens to the meaning if would is removed?) John said he didn't steal any money. Well, he would, wouldn't he ? (Why is would used here?)   Why is would used in sentences 1, 2, and 3 to mean "presumption" instead of using other modals, such as: must and should? Does the meaning change if used others?   Can we use will, must, should and could in the place of would, without changing the meaning of sentences?   What kind of meanings would it make if they (will, must, should, and could) are used in the place of would?     I'd be grateful if you could answer me.
