I have already install ubuntu by downloading the wubi tool and the image of ubuntu which i want to install in later ubuntu versions like 12.04 and 14.04, by manually downloading the image and the tool side by side in the same folder and disconnect the internet and the installation goes in its right way.  From two days ago i trying to do this way with ubuntu 17.04 but it insist to download the ubuntu image from the internet, i have downloaded these files :-   Wubi for Ubuntu 17.04 (rev 321) Wubi for Ubuntu 17.04 (rev 322) ubuntu-17.04-desktop-i386   and as usual i put them in the same folder and disconnected the internet but it needs to download the file live.  if anyone can help me doing what i used to do, or at least make the wubi tool download the ubuntu-17.04-desktop-i386 not the 64-bit version.
I would like to see a full how-to guide on how to install Ubuntu.
The result of ls * , ls ** and ls *** I know using the command ls will list all the directories. But what does the ls * command do ? I used it and it just lists the directories. Does the star in front of ls mean how deep it will list the directories? How to create a site in a sitecollection on a remote SPServer using C# A search on google for "iphone developer" turns up loads of websites which have "iphone" in them, a trademarked name by Apple.  So I'm led to believe that having a domain such as iphonedeveloper.com is ok? Well, you're still using Apple's trademark, but it would be hard to brand yourself otherwise. You're an IPHONE DEVELOPER... right?  Well, what if I want to provide a website where users pay to get a list of the best offers from Ebay? I might have a domain like ebaydeals.com (I don't... i'm just speculating!).  Now I've heard that places like Ebay are really hot on the trigger and fire out emails to people who register domains like that straight away. But whats the difference?  In both cases I'm making money from the trademark, effectively, so is it just down to how lenient the company who owns the trademark is? Or are there rules? Is there a specific "line" you don't cross?  Thanks Simple UV Mesh Unwrapping Scale issue Indicate How Trustworthy the UpVotes Are Area of a parallelogram, vertices $(-1,-1), (4,1), (5,3), (10,5)$. I need to find the area of a parallelogram with vertices $(-1,-1), (4,1), (5,3), (10,5)$.  If I denote $A=(-1,-1)$, $B=(4,1)$, $C=(5,3)$, $D=(10,5)$, then I see that $\overrightarrow{AB}=(5,2)=\overrightarrow{CD}$. Similarly $\overrightarrow{AC}=\overrightarrow{BD}$. So I see that these points indeed form a parallelogram.  It is assignment from linear algebra class. I wasn't sure if I had to like use a matrix or something. I'd like to emulate HTML's infinite page height using LaTeX/XeTeX, i.e. have the PDF pages grow higher until a manual \newpage is issued.  This could be emulated by setting a very large page height and using pdfcrop on the output (or just setting the page height manually), but I'd like a pure TeX variant and if possible support for footnotes etc at the bottom of the cropped page. Is there a free site to play Yu-Gi-Oh? How to run my own program without specifying its path Let's suppose I have compiled something and I run it like so:  $ /path/to/my/executable/mycmd Hello World   What do I need to do to run it like   $ mycmd Hello World    from everywhere in my computer? Looking to achieve frame effect with shadows at corners Suppose $a_0,a_1,a_2$ satisfy the recurrence $a_n = 3a_{n-1}-3a_{n-2}+a_{n-3}$ for $n\ge3$   Let $c_n=a_{n+1}-a_n$ for $n\ge1$ and $c_0=0$   Find a linear recurrence of degree at most 2 for the sequence $c_0,c_1,c_2,...$  I'm not entirely sure what they are asking for but I think it is asking for a recurrence relation for $c_n$ where the characteristic polynomial has degree at most 2.  I tried finding a closed form for $a_n$ to try and get rid of the $a_n$ in the $c_n$ equation, but I can't figure it out when the initial conditions aren't specified ($a_0,a_1,a_2$)  Any help would be appreciated! Update 2014-04-17 04:47 UTC: Stable, with some odds and ends to clean up      The main MSO/MSE sites are stable, but there are plenty of corners left to sweep. For details, see:    Not all of them mind you, just Meta Stack Overflow into Meta Stack Exchange.  I'll have you know, factually, that we really did believe this would take place in six-to-eight weeks when it was , but we've finally got a tentative date established.  If things go according to plan, we'll begin the operation shortly after 8:30 PM EDT on the 16th, completing everything within a few hour window. Ideally, all service disrupting endeavors will be completed within the first hour, which include:   The availability of Meta Stack Overflow The availability of Stack Overflow (more on this shortly) The availability of Chat on Meta Stack Overflow   As you know, we'll be bolting on a standard issue per-site meta on Stack Overflow, while breaking the link between what will have become Meta Stack Exchange and Stack Overflow. There's some irritable innards in that particular region, so we'll be asking folks to expect the unexpected during the maintenance window. Affected sites will be in and out of read-only mode, or quite possibly just down for maintenance while we're doing the actual break.  I'll be posting a system message on both Meta Stack Overflow as well as Stack Overflow itself 24 hours before we begin the actual work.   Did I say tentative in a six-to-eight-something time frame again? Why yes, I did - we're currently running some tests on the dev tier to simulate the split as closely as possible, so that we can better anticipate quirks that we need to address prior to actually doing it.  Once the sites have actually been stood up functionally on the production tier, we're going to get to work on finishing touches. This will include things like site settings (which determine bits of text you see in the question prompts, rep thresholds, etc) and all sorts of other fine tuning.  Once we're done:   Stack Overflow will have a blank, empty child meta site just like every other site The new Meta Stack Exchange will be up and running All rooms on Chat Meta Stack Overflow will be moved to Chat Meta Stack Exchange  I'll send over about 150 - 200 questions from MSE to MSO, most of which will be tag or SO-specific feature related posts that got buried by the network stuff without resolution.   If the tentative date moves, I'll update this post with the new date. However, we do not anticipate this happening any later than Saturday, April 19 - in the case that we see down time we can't mitigate and need to do it on a weekend.  The ground work is basically done, we're finishing up sanity now with a great deal of confidence, and we're pretty certain that we'll hit between those dates, if not directly on the tentative 16th.  Questions? Kvetch? Anonymous confessions? Answer below, and I'll address each in comments. How to fully backup non-rooted devices? I know I'm asking for the close-to-impossible -- as a real full-backup certainly requires root permissions. But still there are many folks around not wanting to root their devices -- afraid of voiding their warranties or bricking their devices, or just not having their devices supported by any rooting method.  I also know there were a lot of questions asked already on this topic, and I checked all of them having the backup tag -- none covers the entire topic, all just have pieces, and especially people new to Android (but other non-power-users as well) would have a hard time figuring out the best way.  So I want a detailed canonical answer to the question:  Not involving root-solutions, how to achieve a backup as close as possible to a full backup?  Please do not give simple one-liner answers like "Use app xyz [full-stop]." If mentioning an app (and I doubt a single app would be the answer here), include what parts are covered by it -- as well as ideas on how to fill the gaps it leaves. (And to make it absolutely clear: I know the first thing coming to mind is Titanium Backup -- I use it myself, but this does not apply here: This question is strictly about methods for non-rooted devices!) Moreover, the answer should be as generic as possible in terms of applying to a wide range of devices (i.e. it should not be restricted to one device or manufacturer).  I already mentioned having investigated all questions here tagged backup. These will certainly be helpful providing details for answers here, so I will list up the topmost ones concerning my question:            All these provide some details for my question (so feel free to get inspired by them) -- but I feel there are still details missing. Also it would be helpful to have a summary -- say, an answer including the full description of "the maximum possible".  A last criterium: While I'd consider cloud-based solutions legit, I'd favour local solutions. If you can provide both: all the better. But some people value privacy quite high (I'm one of them), and thus would not trust their data to some cloud service.    Thanks to Ryan, we now have a solution for a really complete backup of all apps and their data -- which I didn't dare to hope for! The only disadvantage: His solution only works for less than 10% of all Android users; namely those whose devices are running at least with Android 4.x.  So again, I ask the close-to-impossible: Any solutions applicable at least on Gingerbread (2.3.x) or, better, even Froyo (2.2.x) -- so they cover the majority of current devices? These solutions may involve multiple tools (try to keep it as simple as possible though; think of your mother to follow your instructions ;)  And keep in mind: NO ROOT!    To further motivate high-quality answers (and hopefully avoid low-quality ones), I will be a harsh one here: As I rarely do, I will down-vote answers not fitting the mentioned criteria on one end -- but on the other end, I will setup a bounty for the best answer (which cannot be done immediately, but earliest after 2 days). Why did Bilbo physically age faster than Gollum? When should the "Not an Answer" flag be used? Why we don't use gamma rays, x-rays or ultraviolet to transmit data? The greater the frequency range of a transmission medium, the greater the number of bits per second it can transmit. In other words, the bigger the bandwidth in hertz available, the bigger the bandwidth in bits per second that can be transmitted.  Given that, why we don't use gamma rays, x-rays or ultraviolet to transmit data instead of e.g. visible(light) in optical fiber or microwaves(cell phones)? System settings is missing System settings is missing. I tried reinstall it as it mentioned , but it seems to be installed and deactivated. This problem occurred when I installed Elementary desktop environment and uninstalled it afterwards. Compare nullable types in Linq to Sql I have a Category entity which has a Nullable ParentId field. When the method below is executing and the categoryId is null, the result seems null however there are categories which has null ParentId value.  What is the problem in here, what am I missing?  public IEnumerable&lt;ICategory&gt; GetSubCategories(long? categoryId) {     var subCategories = this.Repository.Categories.Where(c =&gt; c.ParentId == categoryId)         .ToList().Cast&lt;ICategory&gt;();      return subCategories; }   By the way, when I change the condition to (c.ParentId == null),  result seems normal. Limit of $2^{1/n}$ as $n\to\infty$ is 1 How do I prove that:   $\lim \limits_{n\to \infty}2^{1/n}=1$  Thank you very much. When a ball moves to the right, friction acts to oppose the motion, in other words, to the left. However, when a car travels around a bend, the friction acts in the perpendicular direction to the car's velocity and provides the centripetal force. I just cannot understand why friction would act in that direction.
