AMDGPU-PRO breaks boot (Ubuntu 16.04)
My computer boots to a black screen, what options do I have to fix it?
So I decided to install my copy of Ableton (v9.1) on my computer now that I've upgraded to a machine that isn't ancient. HOWEVER Despite WineHQ reporting that Ableton is platinum-certified, I can't get the dern thing to open.  It crashes out just as the splash screen pops up.  Sometimes I see it, sometimes not.  It tells me that some catastrophic error has occurred, and it needs to close.  I've tried this on two different systems running two different versions of wine  (One runs the up-to-date public distro 1.6.2, while the machine I actually want to install it on is running the 1.7.19)  I don't know what to do.  I'd really just like to get this working, as my friends really like the look and feel of Ableton, and I really don't like LMMS (Linux-y free Audio Software).  Any idea what's going on here? I've found a couple of other people who seem to be having the same problem as me, but no dice on any solutions.  None provided, really.

How do I get out of being a spectator (I haven't used either of my 2 attacks in the war). I went to the clan castle and the clan option and I selected "Yes I'll participate in this war" but nothing happens. One of my friends argues that princessship is the only word which has 3 identical letter comes together (s) ,but I think there is no word such as princessship.  Can anyone tell me whether this is a real word, and if there are any more English words which have 3 letters consecutively? A does the same B as does C What are some uses of template template parameters? I've seen some examples of C++ using template template parameters (that is templates which take templates as parameters) to do policy-based class design. What other uses does this technique have? How can I hide my code in visualforce page? Do free falling observers see gravitational blueshift? Observers at rest in gravitational fields will see infalling light signals as blueshifted.  Do inertial observers in free fall in a gravitational field see the same shift?  If someone is standing on a cliff at rest in the gravitational field and then steps off, do they instantly see a change in the blueshift as a result of being in free fall in an inertial reference frame? This is probably a silly question, but how can I run ANOVA using only the mean, standard deviation, and the sample size?  i.e.  Group  mean    sd    n  1:    200      5    5    2:    100     22    5  3:    150     14    5   I am using Statsoft Statistica software.  I know how to run it using the spreadsheet with all the data, but I have never done this using only the information listed above.  Any information would be greatly appreciated. How to make Stack Overflow tell you about a new question with certain tag(s) the second it is asked? How does \fontsize{}{} work? With the package anyfontsize I can use the command \fontsize{}{}. But the second argument seems to be without any effect. I read  that it is related to the line space. It doesn't work.  \documentclass{article} \usepackage{anyfontsize} \begin{document}  {\fontsize{1cm}{1cm}\selectfont First test : I need to put some text here.}  \bigskip  {\fontsize{1cm}{2cm}\selectfont Second test : I need to put some text here --- does it work?}  \end{document}     Any clue? derivative of a determinant of matrix Let $A,B\in M_{n\times n}(\mathbb{R})$, prove that $$(\frac{d}{dt}\det(A+tB))_{t=0} = Tr(cof(A)^{T}\cdot B), $$ where $cof(A)$ is the cofactor matrix of $A$. I tried expanding it using row expansion, but it gets messed up. Any help? I am trying to find the equation of characteristic curves and solution of the partial differential equation $$x\frac{\partial u}{\partial y}-y\frac{\partial u}{\partial x}=u$$ $u(x,0)=\sin(\frac{\pi}{4}x)$ .   What I did: $$\frac{dx}{-y}=\frac{dy}{x}=\frac{du}{u}$$ with  From first two equalities $$\frac{dx}{-y}=\frac{dy}{x}$$ by solving we get $x^2+y^2=c_1$ for some constant $c_1$. Now I am stuck with the third and rest of the equalities to come up with a suitable manipulation to solve the problem. How can I do this? Any help would be great. Thanks. With the enthusiastic question of "Who wants ice-cream?", what is the more correct response?         (Not) I.   (Not) me.      Neither response is a sentence. The first response of "(not) I" sounds stuffy, like it should be followed with an indignant sniff. The second sounds like American idiom and acceptable for casual speech.    What do you say? Proving that $m+n\sqrt{2}$ is dense in $\mathbb R$ Systemd is really slow in comparison to upstart I have been using Ubuntu for a long time now, this is what happened when I use:  Systemd: It performs really bad using systemd: it uses 95% of the CPU all the time and the PC gets really hot. Also it takes a really long time to boot (about 1.5 min, and sometimes it does not boot at all as it has a black screen at boot.)  Upstart: When I tried the upstart options at boot, it performs as expected, booted in seconds, and it was awesome as it should be.  Laptop:   AMD A8 Radeon SSD   Questions:   Why does upstart perform better than systemd? How can I debug systemd? Should I switch to upstart? If yes, how do I do it? How does ServerName and ServerAlias work? It's the following part of a virtual host config that I need further clarification on:  &lt;VirtualHost *:80&gt;   # Admin email, Server Name (domain name), and any aliases   ServerAdmin example@example.com   ServerName  141.29.495.999   ServerAlias example.com ...   This is and example config, similar to what I currently have (I don't have a domain name at the moment).  &lt;VirtualHost *:80&gt; - Allow the following settings for all HTTP requests made on port 80 to IPs that this server can be contacted on. For instance, if the server could be accessed on more than one IP, you could restrict this directive to just one instead of both.  ServerName - If the host part of the HTTP request matches this name, then allow the request. Normally this would be a domain name that maps to an IP, but in this case the HTTP request host must match this IP.  ServerAlias - Alternate names accepted by the server.  The confusing part for me is, in the above scenario, if I set ServerAlias mytestname.com and then made an HTTP request to mytestname.com, there would have to be a DNS record pointing to the server's IP for this to work? In which case, is ServerAlias just basically EXTRA ServerName entries?  Say I had a DNS entry such that foobar.com = 141.29.495.999 but then I had ServerName = 141.29.495.999 and ServerAlias was empty, would that mean that although foobar.com gets resolved to the right IP, because there is no reference to accept foobar.com in ServerName or ServerAlias?  Or something. Man I'm confused. Is it possible to recover original content from an edited image file? OK possibly a random question here, but one that is relevant to the site and regarding a hot topic nowadays: privacy.  If I load an image file (in my case a PNG photocopy of a document which contains some personal details) into Gimp, and I 'fill' with black (i.e. as if to redact) the areas of the image that contain sensitive information, and I then overwrite the original file, is there any way that the original untouched image can be recovered or gleamed? Such as low level bit analysis or...?  If so what tools and techniques are behind that, and how can I mitigate this? Is it a simple case of not overwriting the original but simply creating a new file with the changes? Entire function $f$ such that $|f(z)| ≤ K |z|^3$ for $|z|\ge1$ and $f(z) = f(iz)$ for every $z∈C$ Let $f(z)$ be an entire function such that for some constant $K$ , $|f(z)| ≤ K$ $|z|^3&lt;$ for $|z|\ge1$ and $f(z) = f(iz)$ $∀z∈C$ , then which of the following are correct ?  (A)$ f(z) = Kz^3$ $∀ z∈\Bbb{C}$ (B) $f(z)$ is a constant function (C) $f(z)$ is quadratic function (D) No such $f$ exists   My attempt : I can deduce that since $f(z) = f(iz)$ and since $i^4=1 \implies f$ must involve only fourth powers of $z$ . Hence $f(z)=a_1z^4+b_1z^8+c_1z^{16}+ \cdots $-------(1)  Also for $|z| \ge 1 $: let C.   Then $|g(z)| = |f(z)|/|z^3| \le k$ => By the Cauchy estimate theorem we can prove that :  $f(z)/z^3$ is a constant function $= c $   $\implies f(z)=cz^3$ for $|z| &gt; 1$     ...........(2)  From (1) and (2) ; we get  there does not exist a function like this ?  My textbook answer says it's a constant function ? When does the placement of a resistor matter? I've been a programmer for years but am very new to electronic engineering. So far I see people saying it doesn't matter where a resistor goes in your LED circuit as long as it is present, but it sounds like that's the nature of the basic LED circuit.  When does the placement of a resistor start to become important?
