How can I make LightDM the default display manager? I have LightDM installed and can start it with sudo start lightdm. But at boot, GDM is still the default. How can change this so LightDM is loaded automatically at boot instead of GDM? My question is pretty simple.  Since $n! \gt n!!$, it's clear by the comparison test that $\sum_{n=0}^\infty \frac {1}{n!!}$ converges.      But what value does the sum converge to? How does one go about determining its value (if possible)? Subscribing to questions and comments that don't belong to you There has been some discussion about getting notified on comments to questions or answers that don't belong to you, and the long-standing wish to be able to keep track of new answers or developments in questions asked by other people.  Previous discussion in regards to subscribing to questions:                  (very similar to this one)      In regards to subscribing to comments:                    The general feeling - at least here on meta - seems to be against broadening the notification rules, out of fears of useless notifications to flood users' inboxes, turning SO into more of a discussion forum than it should be, etc.   Here's a suggestion that would keep the user 100% in control what they get notified about, not generate any notifications by default, and require only minimal modifications to the User Interface.  Each question and each comment area would get an envelope symbol.    it is inactive (=white) by default.  When those envelopes are hovered over, the tooltip says click to subscribe or something.  When clicked on, the envelope lights up in green or some other colour (but different from the actual notification envelope's orange to avoid confusion.) You are then subscribed to any updates to that question or comment thread.    For each subscription, you receive notifications in the "responses" tab, as if you were the owner of the comment or question.     To unsubscribe from a question or comment thread, you open the page, and click the green envelope. It turns back white, and the notifications disappear from your responses tab (if technically possible - otherwise, there just won't be any new ones added.)    No further functionality, like managing subscriptions or anything, is necessary IMO. If the flood of notifications from a subscribed question starts to annoy you, you just open it and unclick the envelope. Done.   It would make it possible to leave a comment to a newbie's question and make sure their answer reaches you even if they don't know they need to address you using @username You could subscribe to those "oh, I'd like to know the answer to that" questions and receive active notification, instead of them getting forgotten in your favourites list You could subscribe to discussions you are interested in the outcome of, but don't want to participate in. It would (in my opinion) sort out a number of woes aired by many users in a good way, without adding annoyances to those who like the system just fine the way it is. It would not require a change in the visible layout. As far as I can see, the space the envelope would need to be is empty everywhere.   I don't know SO under the hood of course, but technically, the system would be doing what it's doing already, notify question owners of updates - just that the circle of internal "owners" would grow. I have been denied a visa several times in a row. How does one deal with such serial refusals? Over the course of time here on TSE, I have observed individuals whose pattern of visa applications is best described as ''...     serial refusals - Two or more consecutive visa refusals issued by the same regime to the same person. Commonly for the same, or nearly the same, reasons. In some visa regimes Serial refusals can have a cumulative effect wherein the applicant's credibility is increasingly eroded, especially when the application pattern suggests a secondary agenda.   A common thread appears to be the need to visit the destination country (especially Schengen, the USA, or the UK) with a special sense of urgency. Also common in these cases are the following types of questions...   Should I just reapply once again? What are my chances? What can I do to improve my odds in the future? Can I somehow address the previous refusals to avoid them being a burden on all future applications? How can I break the pattern?      NB: This question is intended as a canonical about serial refusals. I have never been personally denied a visa. Prove $e^{x+y}=e^{x}e^{y}$ by using Exponential Series In order to show $e^{x+y}=e^{x}e^{y}$ by using Exponential Series, I got the following:   $$e^{x}e^{y}=\Big(\sum_{n=0}^{\infty}{x^n \over n!}\Big)\cdot \Big(\sum_{n=0}^{\infty}{y^n \over n!}\Big)=\sum_{n=0}^{\infty}\sum_{k=0}^n{x^ky^n \over {k!n!}}$$  But, where should I go next to get $e^{x+y}=\sum_{n=0}^{\infty}{(x+y)^n \over n!}$.  Thanks in advance. Why does reversing serial upvoting not reverse the Mortarboard badge? user has serial up-voting reversed, but he still have badge Mortarboard.   Is it correct behavior of badges? I suppose it should be reversed too.  And will this 200 daily reputation (2012-03-20) score for the Epic, and Legendary badges? Is it possible to redirect all of the output of a Bourne shell script to somewhere, but with shell commands inside the script itself? Redirecting the output of a single command is easy, but I want something more like this: #!/bin/sh if [ ! -t 0 ]; then     # redirect all of my output to a file here fi  # rest of script...  Meaning: if the script is run non-interactively (for example, cron), save off the output of everything to a file.  If run interactively from a shell, let the output go to stdout as usual. I want to do this for a script normally run by the FreeBSD periodic utility.  It's part of the daily run, which I don't normally care to see every day in email, so I don't have it sent.  However, if something inside this one particular script fails, that's important to me and I'd like to be able to capture and email the output of this one part of the daily jobs. Update: Joshua's answer is spot-on, but I also wanted to save and restore stdout and stderr around the entire script, which is done like this: # save stdout and stderr to file  # descriptors 3 and 4,  # then redirect them to &quot;foo&quot; exec 3&gt;&amp;1 4&gt;&amp;2 &gt;foo 2&gt;&amp;1  # ...  # restore stdout and stderr exec 1&gt;&amp;3 2&gt;&amp;4 For some reason my Steam just broke today after working perfectly since I installed it a few days ago.  It was originally installed via the deb from the Steam site. So I uninstalled that using the Ubuntu Software Center. Then I installed steam-launcher. When I run it from the menu it does nothing at all. When I go through terminal it gives this message, no error:  $ steam/usr/bin/steam:  line 196: /home/andrew/.local/share/Steam/steam.sh: Success   So I purge-removed it and removed the .steams directory from my home directory but on re-installation its the same story.  I am using Xubuntu 12.10 64bit.  It appears that steam .local/share/Steam/steam.sh is blank. What is it meant to have in it? I am so confused with how reinstalling it doesn't fix it. What is $\lim_{n\to \infty}\sum_{k=1}^n \left(\frac{k}{n}\right)^n$? I'm asked to find $\displaystyle\lim_{n\to \infty}\sum_{k=1}^n \left(\frac{k}{n}\right)^n$.  It seems that the sum converges.  I managed to prove that $\forall n,1&lt;\sum_{k=1}^n \left(\frac{k}{n}\right)^n&lt;e$  But I don't know how to prove convergence, nor find the value of the limit. Are there any XSLT processing command line tools? Center of mass in a straight rod I got an assignment to prove that in a straight homogeneous rod, you can always choose a coordinate system in such a way that  $$\int_S x_1 \, dx_1 \, dx_2=0 $$  $$\int_S x_2 \, dx_1 \, dx_2=0 $$  $$\int_S x_1x_2 \, dx_1 \, dx_2=0$$  where $S$ is the cross section of the rod  Now, intuitively, I can understand that the first two expressions basically state that if you find the mass center of the rod, then all you have to do is to put the origin of the coordinate system in the mass center, and the integrals turn out to be zero. What I'm curious about is whether or not this is a good enough of an explanation, and also, a hint on how to obtain the third equality. Render turns out plain white For some reason, when I render out the image, it is plain white. I've checked the sky settings, and I tried applying textures, but nothing seems to change.  How can I fix this? When an account is deleted, don't auto delete its negatively scored posts on the meta site Meta is different. Negatively scored questions are not always bad questions, and sometimes they have merit and draw good answers, especially discussions.  When an account (in the main site) is deleted, either by self deletion or by a moderator, all questions with score of -1 or less are being deleted regardless of their answers, both in the main and meta site.  Can you please change this behavior so that the questions on the per-site meta will survive and won't be auto-deleted? Possessive of a word that is already possessive If the cricket ground Lord's is a possessive, what if you want to describe something belonging to Lord's? Would you say:     I was very impressed by Lord's's customer services.   It doesn't look right, so what is the correct way of writing it? Order of product of two elements in an abelian group How can I blow out the background when shooting down for clothing on the ground? Proof: For all integers $x$ and $y$, if $x^3+x = y^3+y$ then $x = y$ I need help proving the following statement:  For all integers $x$ and $y$, if $x^3+x = y^3+y$ then $x = y$  The statement is true, I just need to know the thought process, or a lead in the right direction. I think I might have to use a contradiction, but I don't know where to begin.  Any help would be much appreciated. Access .mat file containing matlab classes in python Sometimes, a question is perfectly solved by suggestion or actual resolution given in "comments" under it. In such case, how to mark that answer (comment) as "Accepted Answer"? Due to this, the question remains unanswered even if solution is provided in comment.
