Potential solution to Bug #1573052 (Gnome-software crash due to broken dependency link)
Ubuntu Software (Software Center) Crash - Ubuntu 16.04
After restarting my computer when I am presented with the initial login screen (the light gray one with the restart and shut down buttons), I see only two of my three user accounts.  If I log in with one of these accounts, I can see, and log in to, the third (missing) account by either:   Logging off (Apple > Log Out...) to reach the second login screen (the dark gray one with sleep/restart/shut down buttons) Clicking on the fast user switching menu.   How can I restore this account in the initial (light gray) login screen?  I tried repairing disk permissions to no avail.  If I create a new account, it does show up in the list. Suppose $u$ is an element of a ring with a right inverse. I'm trying to understand why the following are equivalent.   $u$ has at least two right inverses $u$ is a left zero divisor $u$ is not a unit   If $v$ and $w$ are distinct right inverse of $u$, then $u(v-w)=0$, but $v-w\neq 0$, so $u$ is a left zero divisor. It's also clear that if $u$ is a left zero divisor, it cannot be a unit (else I could cancel $u$ from $ub=0$ to see $b=0$).  I'm having a heck of a time seeing why $u$ is not a unit implies $u$ has at least two right inverses. I tried the contrapositive, but saw no good approach. What am I missing? I was wondering if anyone knows how to configure a Windows 7 x64 Enterprise install that is on a domain to run a script if the user attempts to shutdown the computer - but I dont want the script to run if the user tries to log out.   Here is a bit of detail on my situation...  I have installed drive encryption software on 5 desktops that are in use by various people in my group.  These desktops are installed a few buildings away in a secure lab that very people have access to.   People in my group access these machines (8 Core 2600K Intel Sandybridge with 8GB RAM) over RDP to preform tasks that require heavy lifting that laptops are not well suited for.    I wrote a shutdown script (.hta file) to warn a user that if he/she shuts the computer down, they will have to get access to the lab and enter the drive encryption password in order to bring the machine back online.   The script has a timer that counts down for 1 minute and allows the user to cancel the shutdown command.    The script works as expected when a user tries to shutdown the computer, but I just realized that the script seems to run when a user tries to log off.  Is there any way to differentiate between a user logging off and a user shutting down a machine?   If possible, I would only want the script to run if the machine is shutdown.  If the user logs out, I would not want any script to run.  If this is possible, it seems like this would be managed via local Group Policy.     Let me know if you need any further details. No Badge Progress color for Golden Badges? Word for a person being used I'm looking for a word to describe someone who is being used. I want a noun to describe this person, not a verb or or adjective.  Maybe like a pushover. When typing &lt; or &gt; in LaTeX and compiling with pdflatex, the less than and greater than symbols appear at upside down exclamation points. I'm not in math mode. Prove that $\lim_{x \to \infty} \frac{\log(1+e^x)}{x} = 1$ Show that $$\lim_{x \to \infty} \frac{\log(1 + e^x)}{x} = 1$$ How do I prove this? Or how do we get this result? Here $\log$ is the natural logarithm. I use both GNOME and KDE SC. In GNOME, I use Docky but I do not use it with KDE. So, I would like Docky to start up only when I login into GNOME not KDE. In KDE, there is an option to make a program autostart only in KDE. But I cannot find any such option in GNOME.    How can I do this?    Thanks in advance. Find $f$ where $f'(x) = f(1+x)$ Let $f \colon \mathbb{R} \rightarrow  \mathbb{R}$ be a smooth function such that $$f'(x) = f(1+x)$$ How can we find the general form of $f$? I thought of some differential equations, but not sure how to use them here. Thanks. Starting scheduled task by detecting connection of USB device I know cell phone cameras are the lowest rung, but when reading reviews of phones, the reviewers always have sample shots that are much better than what I can manage.  What are some ways to take decent shots with a cell phone camera?  (I'm thinking of the higher end Android or iPhone cameras). Are keywords in URLs good SEO or needlessly redundant? A coworker and I are locked in a debate over the value of SEO keywords in the URL of a page. She wants to change all the filenames of the HTML pages of a fencing company so they look like residential-home-chicago.html, contact-chicago-contractor.html, and so on. She is convinced that because Google highlights keywords in URLs in search results, that means that putting keywords here is more valuable.  My position is that these do not improve SEO, since Google doesn't seem to give keywords in the URL any more weight than keywords in the body of the page, and . In the meantime, they make it harder for me to find the pages I want when its time to edit them, and the site as a whole looks cheap and spammy.   suggests to me that yes, keywords in URLs are useful, but not superior, and that they are more useful for human readability than search engine rankings.  I'm looking for authoritative sources that support either position, not blog articles from SEO optimization companies trying to promote themselves. How can I save the world from the spread of Hallow and Corruption/Crimson? After the Wall of Flesh, the Hallow appears and Corruption/Crimson spreads even faster.   Corruption/Crimson spreads through everything   Except Hallow  Hallow spreads through everything   Except mud (jungle) Except synthetic blocks like gray-brick  The results of Hallow and Corruption meeting are unpredictable   How can I stop them both permanently and effectively from taking over the world, considering both the top layer and underground?  (Eg, simply placing gray brick on top of the surface won't stop the underground spread?)  And, is it worth the effort? How does PK know better than Jaggu? In , PK knows about Jaggu's boyfriend that he didn't cheat/left her in Belgium. But PK only read the mind of Jaggu. PK didn't know about Tapasvi's lies.

Get full name twice in Bibliography I use biblatex with style=authoryear and when there are two references of the same author in the bibliography there is just a dash. How can I get the full name in the second entry too? How find the maximum value of $|bc|$ Question:     Given complex numbers $a,b,c$, we have that $|az^2 + bz +c| \leq 1$ holds true for any complex number $z, |z| \leq 1$. Find the maximum value of $|bc|$   It is said this is answer is $$|bc|\le \dfrac{3\sqrt{3}}{16}$$  My idea: let $z=1$,then $$|a+b+c|\le 1$$ let $z=-1$,then $$|a-b+c|\le 1$$ let $z=0$, then $$|c|\le 1$$  let $|\theta|=1$,then we have $$|a(z/\theta)^2+b(z/\theta)+c|\le 1\Longrightarrow |az^2+b\theta z+c\theta^2|\le 1$$ and only this can't solve this problem,Thank you Subsurf on a crown. How can I smooth some edges and keep others sharp? How can I smooth all crown but don't smooth the top of the crown? I did a subdivision surface, but this didn't work. All crown became smooth and changed form. When to use an object pronoun or a possessive adjective before a gerund
