How to create LV(Logical Volume) after ubuntu is installed? everyone. I need to create LV for xen guest. There is only one disk of 70G. While installing, I use the default process and not the LVM. Do I need to reinstall Ubuntu to create the LV? Is there some better method? Thanks a lot.  root@vswitch-BlackfordESB2:/home/vswitch# vgdisplay   No volume groups found root@vswitch-BlackfordESB2:/home/vswitch# vgcreate vm /dev/sda1   No physical volume label read from /dev/sda1   Can't open /dev/sda1 exclusively.

I am a Filipino citizen traveling from Saipan to Manila via Seoul, with 13 hours layover.  Do I need a Korean visa to take the airport free city tour? This question is essentially the same as one of my , except the only difference is that I am using "only" to change the text at the same location (i.e., ). In other words, I am destroying my earlier text as I go, and not adding new ones underneath the previous ones.   Since the text for the first "only" is shorter than the second "only", therefore the image will shift location. I would like for the image to remain at its location.   Here is an example     it may not be obvious but the second image is higher up than the first.  The code is here, can someone find a solution?  \documentclass{beamer}  \usepackage{graphicx}  \title[Title]{Presentation} \author{Sandro Botticelli} \institute{Italy} \date{1484}  \begin{document}   \begin{frame} \begin{figure} \includegraphics[scale = 0.8]{Venus}     \caption{Nascita di Venere} \end{figure}  \only&lt;1&gt;{In the centre the newly-born goddess Venus stands nude in a giant scallop shell.

I am trying to assign an image texture to an Image Texture node in 2.80. Very simple script - I'm just starting to learn how this stuff works.  This is what I have. It creates an image and and IT node, but it doesn't assign the one to other. Can anybody help? I've searched around, but can't find it in another question.  import bpy  #create blank image bpy.ops.image.new(name="TestImg", width=1024, height=1024)  #add image texture to object, to hold baked lighting mat = bpy.context.view_layer.objects.active.active_material image_node = mat.node_tree.nodes.new('ShaderNodeTexImage')  #assign image to image texture node image_node.image = "TestImg"   Thanks in advance. what should I do to stop the cases environment compressing the first line of the following? \begin{equation} \alpha_{mn} = \begin{cases} \frac{16\mu^2}{mn\pi^2\left[\pi^2(m^2/a^2 + n^2/b^2) - \mu^2\right]} &amp;\mbox{for } m \mbox{ and } n \mbox{ odd;}  \\ 0 &amp;\mbox{for } m \mbox{ or } n \mbox{ even;} \end{cases} \\[1ex] \end{equation}  I'm not sure to do tex on this site, but if anyone tries it they see the first case is compressed because it's a fraction. Increasing the size of tyres on a hybrid We are planning on doing some mountain biking in a few weeks time and we'd like to get some wider tyres for my wife's hybrid. I know there are similar questions and answers out there on this topic, but I need some specific help to make sure I buy the right tyres.  The bike is a Ladies Scott Sportster 50 2015, the best website I could find with a fairly accurate spec is     It's currently got Kenda K-180 700 x 38c / 30TPI tyres on it, which are fairly good all rounders and capable of running on clean forest paths but I don't think they would handle anything heavier.  It's got disk brakes so there isn't a clearance issue there, but I have noticed the frame is generally narrower than true MTBs, here are some photos i took of it.    Has anyone put larger, knobblier tyres on this kind of hybrid? whats the largest I can get away with? - I'm also slightly confused by all the tyre sizing, I'm sure someone told me this is a 27.5" tyre, but 700 seems to mean 29" on a lot of websites.  Any advice is very much appreciated, Thanks. \includegraphics cannot handle filenames that contain more than the one dot, separating the filename from the extension. Apparently it uses everything after the first dot as extension and then, of course, complains about an unknown graphics extension.  This is annoying as I very often have filenames that contain parameter values, e.g. plot_a0.4_b0.6.pdf.  Is there a way to teach LaTeX to interpret only the string behind the last dot as extension? How do I turn on SharePoint App store in SharePoint 2013 SQL Server equivalent to Oracle's CREATE OR REPLACE VIEW In Oracle, I can re-create a view with a single statement, as shown here:  CREATE OR REPLACE VIEW MY_VIEW AS SELECT SOME_FIELD FROM SOME_TABLE WHERE SOME_CONDITIONS   As the syntax implies, this will drop the old view and re-create it with whatever definition I've given.  Is there an equivalent in MSSQL (SQL Server 2005 or later) that will do the same thing? Last time I tried to make Chocolate eclairs (similar to cream puffs), the choux pastry just sat in the oven and basically fried.  It didn't rise/grow and so I couldn't hollow out the shells.  Any suggestions?  Recipe was from The Australian Women's Weekly Original Cookbook (Golden Press Pty Ltd, 1977) p. 204  It is almost identical to the one published on their website , with the exception that the cookbook recipe used 1C water and 1C plain flour.

Space before chapters and contents The polar of a convex body $C$ is defined as:  For a convex body $C$, its polar $C^*$ is given by $$C^* = \{x\in\mathbb{R}^n: \langle x,c\rangle \le 1, \forall c\in C\}$$  If I start with an orthonormal basis $(e_i)_1^n$, positive constants $(\alpha_j)_1^n &gt; 0$ and the ellipsoid $$\varepsilon = \left\{x\in\mathbb{R}^n: \sum\limits_{j=1}^n \frac{\langle x,e_j\rangle^2}{\alpha_j^2} \leq 1  \right\}$$ how do I show that its polar ellipsoid is $$\varepsilon^* = S_1 = \left\{y\in\mathbb{R}^n: \sum_{j=1}^n \alpha_j^2 \langle y,e_j\rangle^2 \le 1\right\}$$ Using the definition, I saw that $$\varepsilon^* = S_2 = \{z\in\mathbb{R}^n: \langle z,x\rangle \le 1, \text{for all }x\in \varepsilon\}$$ Also, $\langle z,x\rangle = \sum_i\langle z,e_i\rangle\langle x,e_i\rangle$ I used Cauchy Schwartz to do one side of the proof, i.e. $S_1\subseteq S_2$: $$\left(\sum_i\langle y,e_i\rangle\langle x,e_i\rangle\right)^2 \leq \left(\sum_i\alpha_i^2 \langle y,e_i\rangle^2\right)\left(\sum_i \frac{\langle x,e_i\rangle^2}{\alpha_i^2}\right) \le 1 \implies \langle y,x\rangle \le 1$$ I need help with the other direction, i.e. $S_2\subseteq S_1$. Which other inequality might help? What is the correct way to pluralize an acronym / initialism? For example, if I wanted to write the equivalent of  There are many automated teller machines in this city.  Would it be  There are many ATMs in this city.  or  There are many ATM's in this city.

Can any one explain me what is the use of derivatives in real life. When and where we use derivative, i know it can be used to find rate of change but why?. My logic was in  real life most of the things we do are not linear functions and derivatives helps to make a real life functions into linear.  eg converting parabola into a linear function $x^{2}\rightarrow 2x$  but then i find this; derivation of $\sin{x}\rightarrow \cos{x}$  why we cant use $\sin{x}$ itself to solve the equation. whats the purpose of using its derivative $\cos{x}$. Please forgive me if i have asked a stupid questions, i want to improve my fundamentals in calculus. Creation parameters menu greyed out When adding a UV Sphere mesh in Blender 2.8, the creation parameters menu on the bottom left of the attached image for this UV Sphere seems to be greyed out. Any idea why this might be? Thanks. I have the loop tools addon enabled and when I click the circle button with these verts selected, it just disappears. Why is that?  You can see the selected options in the bottom screenshot. It is worth noting that all the verts are flat on the x plane. Locking in X or not does not change the effect.   When I use the to sphere operator it squishes the verts on Z and stretches super wide on Y, not making a cirlce.
