I have been getting these continually in Gnome Shell for the past year or so, different installs, on different machines and it's annoying. Lately it seems to occur every 12 hours or so.  Here's the sequence: A password prompt appears for user, using my gmail address. The 1st dialogue box input is never accepted, regardless of what is entered. The subsequent 2nd one accepts anything it seems, and disappears silently. The cycle is repeated every n hours.I assume this is from the Online Accounts app? I use my email address for several accounts, so have no idea which account this is coming from.  Presently using Gnome-Shell 3.14 on Ubuntu Vivid Vervet, but as I've said have seen this on Debian installs, and on other machines running Gnome-Shell various versions.  Any suggestions? I'm not sure how to troubleshoot this in order to do a bug report.
After upgrading to 13.10, I am now getting a prompt for my gmail password every time I log in. There is no indication as to which service or application needs this information. If I enter the correct password I'm told it is incorrect. My gmail account does not use two factor authentication. The problem has only started after an upgrade from 13.04 to 13.10.  How can I prevent this prompt appearing, and/or what is doing the prompting?
Click to hide in the Hero content is not aligned correctly for the non joined communities The "Click to hide" icon in the hero content (welcoming message) for the non joined communities are not aligned correctly for most of the private beta and some other communities.  A few examples are:        Can the icon be aligned to the right hand side with correct padding? I have recently been thinking about the difference between the two ways of defining an array:   int[] array int array[]   Is there a difference? Over the years I've written some libraries. These libraries sometimes depend on each other.  As a result, the "tex" directory is structured as follows:  tex ├── library |   ├── library1.sty |   ├── library2.sty |   └── library3.sty ├── project1 |   ├── master.tex |   ├── chapter1.tex |   └── chapter2.tex ├── project2 |   └── article.tex └── project3     └── paper.tex   The libraries depend on each other. As a result, in every library that depends on another library, this is part of the header:  %library2.sty \ProvidesPackage{library2} \RequirePackage{../library/library1}   In other words, the library is imported from the "root of every project". This is not a good design choice. What if someone copies the libraries in the folder of the root of a project, or what if the folder "library" is renamed...  It is however reasonable the "active directory" still remains in the project root.  What can be done to resolve such library dependencies? Where is the Task Manager?

TL;DR: how does an Ubuntu flavor iso installation ( for example Lubuntu ) differ from installing a desktop package via apt-get ? (for instance sudo apt-get install lubuntu-desktop)  Context for the question:   Some time ago I answered a question on AskUbuntu , where I tested in virtual machine removing unity-desktop and installing ubuntu-gnome-desktop. That makes the boot logo ( plymouth ) change, desktop changes, different packages get installed (gnome-network-manager instead of network-manager , if I am not mistaken). It appeared that in effect I've switched to different Ubuntu flavor, even though I started out with the standard Ubuntu system. Hence the question: what differentiates the pre-made Ubuntu flavor iso from installing a package ? Is it all the same base underneath the hood or does installation from iso have specific configurations ? If it's possible to install a flavor via package manager, why then separate flavor iso's exist ? (obvious answer is user convenience, but I think there has to exist other reasons. Canonical is a business , and it makes not a lot of sense for a business to provide additional flavor iso , if a sysadmin or end-user can get the same thing via package manager by themselves). A 'for' loop to iterate over an enum in Java Impact of changing instances' passwords As part of a security policy, the company I work for has given me the task of changing the sa's and SQL Server Agent service accounts' passwords for several instances.  What's the possible impact of doing this? Is there anything in particular I should watch out for? Is there any whitepaper, guide or even blog post about this kind of task? What kind of 'backup' plan should I have in place in case anything goes wrong?  Any guidance is appreciated. I have a fresh installation of Ubuntu 14.10 on my laptop. It appears that letters are missing from files and folders, as well as menus and configuration windows. I'm not sure where to start in order to fix this. single query to print all the rows whose count is greater than 10 Title says it all. It seems to be random and is really annoying. I can use ls -ld */ to list all the directory entries in the current directory. Is there a similarly easy way to just list all the regular files in the current directory? I know I can use find  find . -maxdepth 1 -type f   or stat  stat -c "%F %n" * | grep "regular file" | cut -d' ' -f 3-   but these do not strike me as being overly elegant. Is there a nice short way to list only the regular files (I don't care about devices, pipes, etc.) but not the sub-directories of the current directory? Listing symbolic links as well would be a plus, but is not a necessity. Why doesn't backpropagation work when you initialize all the weight the same value (say 0.5), but works fine when given random numbers?   Shouldn't the algorithm calculate the error and work from there, despite the fact that the weights are initially the same? The Bash Manual says   { list; }        Placing a list of commands between curly braces causes the list to be executed in the current shell context. No subshell is   created. The semicolon (or newline) following list is required.      The braces are reserved words, so they must be separated from the list   by blanks or other shell metacharacters.       The parentheses are operators, and are recognized as separate tokens   by the shell even if they are not separated from the list by   whitespace.   If I remove the semicolon, like this:  $ { date } &gt;    Why does it expect stdin input? A metacharacter is a character that separates words.  The semicolon and whitespace are both "shell metacharacters". Why can't whitespace separate words date and }? Why do we need a semicolon instead of a whitespace for separating the words? I'd like to be able to decompose a concave mesh into a set of convex meshes for 2 reasons:   Transparent rendering Physics shapes   Is there an algorithm that takes a set of triangles (concave) as input and outputs a number of sets of triangles (convex)?  I'd like it to not fill in the holes between parts of the original mesh.  I've already come across a small idea: find all the concave edges, and split the meshes along the edge loops.  Am I on the right track?  How could I implement this? Specifying latest revision of a particular branch with bower I am using ArcMap 10.2 and I'm looking for a way to add  a table containing certain fields from select elements from a featureclass to my map. Ive tried the add table option from the attribute table, but it doesn't quite give what I want (the table must be editable to look a certain way).   Are there any options out there for 10.2 like arcpy.mapping.tableview or will upgrading to 10.3 so I can get access to the "graphic table element" function be best?
