Hello I was able to install by adding boot options video=1024X576-24@60 as I know that to be my screens resolution and I was previously getting a black screen.  Now that I went through the install the computer is not able to boot and shows black screen again after booting.  Please help, 14 LTS, hp mini 1030nr  thanks!
I read on  that the netbook edition of Ubuntu was discontinued and that it is now integrated into the main distribution (as of 11.04).  I tried 11.04 on my new Samsung NC110-A06AU with 10.1" 1024x600 display. Most things worked out of the box, but some (like backlight power control) needed some  before they began to co-operate.  One thing that seems to be an ongoing problem is the resolution.  At 1024x600, most of the dialogue boxes run off the bottom of the screen, including the update manager. I have tried 11.10 beta 1 and it has the same problem.  Is there any way to fix this, or at least make it more usable? (I suspect not). Given the recent rise in popularity of netbooks, do you think Ubuntu will include a low-resolution-friendly version in the near future?  How well does KDE deal with these low resolutions? I noticed KDE Plasma has a netbook interface. Is it worth switching for that?
I want to model this gun:  So I started to cut out the rough shapes from a cube (using the boolean modifier) Then I tried to clean up the geometry to be able to round the edges of the handguard.  But it does not work. When I try to bevel it like in the last pic top right it just gets really messy.  I think I took the wrong approach. How would you go about adding clean and workable geometry to such a piece and would you use the Bevel tool to create the round shapes? How do I make a bootable Ubuntu USB? A few months ago I was telling high school students about Fermat's principle.   You can use it to show that light reflects off a surface at equal angles. To set it up, you put in boundary conditions, like "the light starts at A and ends at B". But these conditions by themselves are insufficient to determine what the path is, because there's an extra irrelevant stationary time path, which is the light going directly from A to B without ever bouncing off the surface. We get rid of this by adding in another boundary condition, i.e. that we only care about paths that actually do bounce. Then the solution is unique.  Of course the second I finished saying this one of the students asked "what if you're inside an elliptical mirror, and A and B are the two foci?" In this case, you can impose the condition "we only care about paths that hit the mirror", but this doesn't nail down the path at all because any path that consists of a straight line from A to the mirror, followed by a straight line to B, will take equal time! So in this case the principle tells us nothing at all.  The fact that we can get no information whatsoever from an action principle feels disturbing. I thought the standard model was based on one of those!  My questions are   Is this anything more than a mathematical curiosity? Does this come up as a problem/obstacle in higher physics? Is there a nicer, mathematically natural way to state the "only count bouncing paths" condition? Also, is there a "nice" condition that specifies a path in the ellipse case? What should I have told that student? WoeUSB Error Code 256 with NTFS formatted USB Would a Jedi (Sith) clone be force-full or force-less Just seen a picture of Vader Force-choking a trooper. And then I started wondering: what if they had cloned a Sith (or a Jedi). Would the clones have the Force? Specifically, would they have the same Force as the original?

I've got an Ubuntu 11.10 system connected via a proxy to the internet, and I would like to install packages via apt-get. When I try to do that I get this error message:  sudo apt-get install libboost-program-options-dev [...] Err http://gb.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ oneiric/main libboost1.46-dev i386 1.46.1-5ubuntu2 407  Proxy Authentication Required   Any ideas? limsup of intersection of events as a subset of intersection of limsups For x < 5 what is the greatest value of x It can't be $5$.

When I am at my desk and my laptop is in its docking station I want to ensure that it uses its wired connection and not my wireless network.

Inverse metric in linearised gravity From what I've read, in the framework of linearised gravity, one perturbs the metric around a Minkowski background, $\eta_{\mu\nu}$, such that  $$g_{\mu\nu}(x)=\eta_{\mu\nu}+h_{\mu\nu}(x)\tag{1}$$  where $h_{\mu\nu}(x)$ is a small perturbation, i.e. $$\big\lvert h_{\mu\nu}\big\rvert&lt;&lt;1.\tag{2}$$  The inverse metric is then found by assuming the following ansatz:  $$g^{\mu\nu}(x)=\eta^{\mu\nu}+\tilde{h}^{\mu\nu}\tag{3}$$  where $\tilde{h}^{\mu\nu}$ is also small (i.e. $\big\lvert \tilde{h}_{\mu\nu}\big\rvert&lt;&lt;1$).   Using this, it is easy to find that  $$g^{\mu\nu}(x)=\eta^{\mu\nu}-h^{\mu\nu} \tag{4}$$  to first order.   My question is, what is the justification for this ansatz? Is it simply that one expects the inverse metric to have a similar form to the metric in order to satisfy $$g^{\mu\alpha}g_{\alpha\nu}=\delta^{\mu}_{\;\nu}~?\tag{5}$$ I am using Ubuntu 17.10 on my desktop PC, I've been monitoring network traffic with Etherape. I noticed HTTP requests from my PC(casa hostname) to googleusercontent.com (104.198.143.177). So I used lsof and ss to 'identify' process behind these requests.    Using lsof -i:   NetworkMa  778            root   20u  IPv4 546772      0t0  TCP casa:53671-&gt;177.143.198.104.bc.googleusercontent.com:http (SYN_SENT) NetworkMa  778            root   20u  IPv4 546772      0t0  TCP casa:53671-&gt;177.143.198.104.bc.googleusercontent.com:http (ESTABLISHED)   Using ss -rep dst 104.198.143.177:    tcp    SYN-SENT   0      1      casa%enp4s0:53671    177.143.198.104.bc.googleusercontent.com:http  users:(("NetworkManager",pid=778,fd=20)) timer:(on,964ms,0) ino:546772 sk:6df &lt;-&gt; tcp    ESTAB      0      87     casa%enp4s0:53671    177.143.198.104.bc.googleusercontent.com:http  users:(("NetworkManager",pid=778,fd=20)) timer:(on,300ms,0) ino:546772 sk:6df &lt;-&gt;   It seems NetworkManager (pid 778) is sending requests to googleusercontent, and it happens every 5 minutes exactly.   I have to say, no applications were launched at the moment, no background process, no network activities,no online account and it was a 'Ubuntu fresh install'. So why NM would sent requests to googleusercontent? Are there any drawbacks to legacy BIOS as opposed to UEFI? Are there any drawbacks to installing Ubuntu 13.10 (and soon 14.04) in Legacy BIOS instead of UEFI?  I have installed 13.10 64bit in Legacy by mistake and was just wondering if it would hurt anything to simply leave it there as is?  EDIT  Everything seems to be running just fine in Legacy and all my drivers work.
