I just did a clean install of Windows 7 on a brand new laptop (Packard Bell EasyNote LE).  I created 3 partitions:   150 GB on which I installed Windows 7 50 GB for Ubuntu 270 GB for file storage   When I installed Windows 7, I rebooted and fired up the Ubuntu 12.10 live CD and I was represented with only 2 choices:   Install Ubuntu and erase everything   Something else   So I selected something else and it lists the 500GB as free space.
I'm trying to install Ubuntu 12.10 alongside Windows 7 on my ASUS laptop and I'm new to all of this.   I'm using  the Ubuntu 12.10 64-bit ISO burned onto a CD.  The first time I tried to install it, Ubuntu said it did not detect any other OS, which meant I only had 4 options:   Erase disk and install Ubuntu (I don't want to do this) Encrypt new Ubuntu. Use LVM. Something else.   If I choose the Something else option, it brings me to the partition menu and says that I have 1 disk with free space of 750516Mb (750Gb), but that's not true because I have Windows 7.  I've already read through several questions and people have mentioned that you could only have 4 primary partitions. So I got hold of partition magic and removed my D: and E:, leaving me with primary C: partition and System reserved partition and a lot of unallocated space.  I restarted the laptop several times and booted the CD again and I got exactly the same as I did previously.  How do fix this problem and install Ubuntu alongside Windows 7?

Why was Dumbledore worried by the cut in Harry's arm? Triggered by a  I was wondering what actually would happen to a ship (e.g. the Enterprise-D NCC-1701) that collides with a stationary object such as a) another ship of a similar configuration or b) a gigantic structure like a moon or even a planet.  We know the deflector is supposed to keep interstellar dust (not to be confused with ordinary dust, which is a different thing) from ripping large holes in the ship.  At first, one thinks "Obvious. ." But does it really? Would the deflector manage to actually deflect both masses? If not, where is the threshold of what a deflector can handle? Would the ship maybe tunnel right through the object, because of wibbly-wobbly space wobblification by the warp field? It does do some weird things to the space right in front and behind the vessel.  Important remark: We cannot approach this with what we know about physics at all. For all intents and purposes, both ships must measure the other ship travelling faster than light, resulting in it having infinite (or rather undefined) mass and by extension momentum. If we start with that reasoning any ship jumping to warp would suck in the entire universe (it takes a moment, but think about it). So, obviously we cannot apply our intuition (even our relativistic intuition) here. I'm not quite sure how the total attack bonus interacts with BAB.   Can you make more attacks than shown by your BAB (e.g. +11/+6/+1 BAB allows you to make 3 attacks) by having a high enough DEX, STR or other attack bonus modifiers? Assuming I have +11/+6/+1 BAB, and a spell gives me +6 attack bonus, would that make me able to attack as if I had +17/+12/+7/+2 BAB, giving me an extra attack?)   Can you make multiple attacks even if you have one of your stats drained, making your attack bonus negative, or less than 5?      It says in the SRD that the formula for attack bonus in melee is this:       Base attack bonus + Strength modifier + size modifier   I've also been told that you can make multiple attacks in one turn, but each attack gains a -5 penalty to attack bonus. Methods to see if a polynomial is irreducible Given a polynomial over a field, what are the methods to see it is irreducible? Only two comes to my mind now. First is Eisenstein criterion. Another is that if a polynomial is irreducible mod p then it is irreducible. Are there any others? Steward badge can now be awarded multiple times -- backfill details As we announced in our post on  to the Review Queues, the Steward badge can now be earned more than once per queue. The purpose of this post is not to debate the merits of this decision ( already exists), but to explain the nuts and bolts of how it will be backfilled. This is how it will appear on your profile if you have earned it multiple times:  Once we push the visual design changes live across the network, this is how badge attainment will look on /review/close/stats:  For those of you who have already completed enough reviews to earn multiple Steward badges, we will be retroactively awarding them to you, starting today. The backfill script will run about twice an hour, and your achievements trophy will light up as each one is awarded. For those of you who have done thousands and thousands of reviews, things may be a bit noisy, so we thank you in advance for your patience. It may take up to two days for all of your badges to show up. How to show that when the linear transformation $\Phi =\psi \circ \phi : E \rightarrow G$ is injective, then $\phi$ is also injective? How to show that when the linear transformation $\Phi =\psi \circ \phi : E \rightarrow G$  (where $\phi : E \rightarrow F$ and $\psi : F \rightarrow G$) is (1) injective, then $\phi$ is injective and when (2) $\Phi$ is surjective, then $\psi$ is also surjective ?  I've tried to prove it by the definition of injection and surjection, but I'm not convinced myself by it.  For example, in the first case :  If $\Phi$ is injective, $\forall g \in G$, we have $0$ or $1$ $e \in E$ such as $\Phi(e)=g$.  $\Rightarrow \Phi(e) = \psi(\phi(e)) = \psi(f) =g$.   So $\forall f \in F$, we also have $0$ or $1$ $e \in E$ such as $\phi(e)=f \in F$.   $\Rightarrow \phi$ is injective.  Is this right or did I prove nothing at all ? I think it is easier to convince myself/ to understand with surjectivity but still.. Well, the original task was to figure out what the following expression evaluates to for any $n$.  $$\begin{pmatrix} 1 &amp; 1 \\ 0 &amp; 1\end{pmatrix}^{\large n}$$  By trying out different values of $n$, I found the pattern: $$\begin{pmatrix} 1 &amp; 1 \\ 0 &amp; 1\end{pmatrix}^{\large n} = \begin{pmatrix} 1 &amp; n \\ 0 &amp; 1\end{pmatrix}$$  But I have yet to figure out how to prove it algebraically.   Suggestions? After using `networksetup -setdnsservers Wi-Fi "8.8.8.8" "8.8.4.4"` how do I clear them? I'm looking to script a temporary DNS server change to override the DHCP response I get from the network. I've figured out I can use networksetup but once we're done testing. Before I push to production, I figure I should know how to undo this.  How can I script to clear these changes and restore the settings the network provides now as if I never ran the following script?  networksetup -setdnsservers Wi-Fi "8.8.8.8" "8.8.4.4"   It's not feasible to save any the previous settings and I'm looking to remove the setting so that the actual new values can be retrieved from the network as opposed to saving what the settings were previously so I don't save an old value that is no longer correct.  Basically, I'm looking to ipconfig /renew on macOS. Custom question lists: finding questions you can answer I want to have a page-filling and -breaking longtable, so I decided to try xltabular. Unfortunately xltabular seems to screw up the booktabs rules in the normal tabular environments, see:  \documentclass{article} \usepackage{booktabs, xltabular} \usepackage[active,tightpage]{preview} \PreviewEnvironment{tabular} \begin{document} \begin{tabular}{ccc}     \toprule     col1 &amp; col2 &amp; col3 \\     \midrule     row 2: &amp; more and moooooooooooore &amp; test \\     \bottomrule \end{tabular} \end{document}     Not loading xltabular resolves the issue.  Did I miss some package option or some incompatibilities? Is there a better package than xltabular which doesn't break booktabs?  (I am using TeXLive 2019 and compile with lualatex)    EDIT (by Skillmon)  I reduced the bug to the following MWE (which doesn't make much sense on its own), it looks like booktabs tries to be smart detecting something, but fails badly.  \documentclass{article} \usepackage{longtable} \let\xltabular\relax \usepackage{booktabs}  \begin{document} \begin{tabular}{ccc}     \toprule     col1 &amp; col2 &amp; col3 \\     \midrule     row 2: &amp; more and moooooooooooore &amp; test \\     \bottomrule \end{tabular} \end{document}   It seems to suffice that longtable is loaded and \xltabular is defined (even if it's just \relax). Can Git hook scripts be managed along with the repository? itoa() is a really handy function to convert a number to a string. Linux does not seem to have itoa(), is there an equivalent function or do I have to use sprintf(str, "%d", num)? I have an array of Foo objects. How do I remove the second element of the array?  I need something similar to RemoveAt() but for a regular array. I just did a clean installation of Ubuntu 18.04.1 on a tablet which was previously running Ubuntu 17.10. Back then just after the installation the screen was rotated, but I was able to get it to work (I think it was running on Wayland).  Now with 18.04.1 the situation is similar: when Ubuntu first boots the login screen is upside-down, but that's not a problem. This time, after login, the screen is correctly oriented but the mouse cursor is upside down and mouse movements are inverted with respect to both axes. The problem is that when I try to click on something the click is registered on the position on the other side of the screen (symmetrically with respect to the center).   It almost seems like the screen (desktop, application, etc.) is correctly displayed, with also the mouse positioned correctly and moving as it should, but then the mouse cursor which is shown to the user is inverted, like if the screen had been inverted just before drawing the cursor.  I already tried the answers I could find, but none worked for me. Anyone have an idea of what's going on?  Thanks Bake Simple Deform animation into mesh for Unity3D export? I'm trying to use a .blend file with a keyframe animation on the angle of a Simple Deform modifier in Unity3D. Unity3D however does not know how to handle modifiers and hence cannot play the animation.  How can I bake/save the animation to the .blend file so that Unity3D can play it? $n!+1$ being a perfect square One observes that  \begin{equation*} 4!+1 =25=5^{2},~5!+1=121=11^{2}  \end{equation*} is a perfect square. Similarly for $n=7$ also we see that $n!+1$ is a perfect square. So one can ask the truth of this question:   Is $n!+1$ a perfect square for infinitely many $n$? If yes, then how to prove. I have never used Ubuntu or any other Linux OS before last Friday. For all I know, I might have installed Ubuntu wrong and be missing a component. I would prefer if you use simplest terminology possible, but I'm OK with doing a bit of googling if need be. I just installed Steam for Ubuntu 16.04 but it won't open when I click on it in the launcher. The icon flashes for a few seconds, stops and then nothing happens. I looked in the system monitor and steam shows up there but ending the process and trying again does nothing. I heard trying to open apps that aren't working through the terminal tells you what the error is so I tried that and I got this:  Running Steam on ubuntu 16.04 64-bit STEAM_RUNTIME is enabled automatically Installing breakpad exception handler for appid(steam)/version(0) libGL error: unable to load driver: radeonsi_dri.so libGL error: driver pointer missing libGL error: failed to load driver: radeonsi libGL error: unable to load driver: swrast_dri.so libGL error: failed to load driver: swrast   Please help I just want to play CS:GO again. Prove $| \sum_{i \leq n} \frac{\mu(i)}{i} | \leq 1$ So I am trying to prove the above stated formula. I am completely new to number theory so I thank you in advance for baring with me. I start off by using the definition:  $\frac{\phi(n)}{n} = \sum_{d|n} \frac{\mu(d)}{d}$  Where $\phi$ is Eulers function, and $\mu$ is the Mobius mu function. From here, I use the Mobius inversion formula to give:  $\frac{\mu(n)}{n} = \sum_{d|n}d\frac{\phi(\frac{n}{d})}{n}\mu(d)$  Now summing $n$ up to $x$:  $\sum_{n \leq x}\frac{\mu(n)}{n} = \sum_{n \leq x}\sum_{d|n}d\frac{\phi(\frac{n}{d})}{n}\mu(d)$  Now I'm not fully sure on how I can rearrange things inside the two summations on the right hand side, so leaving things as they are; using that $\sum_{d|n} \mu(d) = 1$, if and only if $n =1$. Hence:  $\sum_{n \leq x}\frac{\mu(n)}{n} = \sum_{d|1}d\phi(\frac{1}{d})\mu(d)$  Thus $d=1$. Subbing this in:  $\sum_{n \leq x}\frac{\mu(n)}{n} = \phi(1) = 1$  I am not sure what I have missed (or done wrong) as to have an equality and not a triangle relation. Any suggestions or ideas would be greatly appreciated Author information column wise I am using authblk package and I want to achieve following output using this package. What's the Best Practice reinstalling windows 7 on a dual boot with ubuntu 11.04 I've posted a question  that I have a 32bits windows 7 on a dual boot machine with ubuntu 10.04 upgraded to 11.04. From the responses I had from the questions, I decided to reinstall the windows 7 but this time a 64bits version.  I've install the grub on the first section of the HDD on which ubuntu is install, meaning the 2nd Drive.  I still want guidance before I proceed.  What would you suggest me as best way to achieve that without disturbing the boot loading.  thank you for reading this.
