Ubuntu 16.04 not installing, although it says installation completed
Can't boot without Flash Drive plugged in
how to make a full backup of ubuntu server for another computer? I have a Ubuntu 15.10 server, which currently has a bunch of software installed on. Now, I want to make a full backup of everything there (including profiles, configs, etc...) on this computer (virtually on Parallels Desktop) for another physical computer which I've recently installed Ubuntu 15.10 server on it.  So how can I transfer this system completely into that computer? I tried PinguyBuilder and Systemback, but they were not what I wanted.  Considering that if there is a way, which would need not or at least a Internet connection (specially on physical computer) would be awesome.  Any help?  P.S: I know there are many topics for backup things, but they are not exactly for a non-gui server, or maybe I couldn't find what is suitable for me. Every element outside the maximal ideal of a local ring is a unit A homework question from my algebra class asks:     Show that in a local ring $R$ with maximal ideal $M$, every element outside $M$ is a unit.   My argument is that since $M$ is maximal $R /M $ is a field and so for any $ x \in R \backslash M $, $ x + M $ has a multiplicative inverse, which implies $ x $ is a unit.  I don't see where we need the fact that $R$ is a local ring. Why are high white balance temperatures redder when warmer objects are bluer? I know it's dumb to ask this type of questions. But, I still don't get this. I've read the "Black body" story and know that when it's heated, it gives off colors; 'warm' colors (red→orange→yellow..) that have low color temperatures, at low temperatures, (I mean, when it is cooler than afterwards) right? And, the black body gives off 'cold' colors (white→blue..) that have high color temperatures at high temperatures (when it is hotter than before), right? Correct? So there're two, yes, very dumb, questions and the latter one is dumber..     Why are that 'warm' colors said to have low temperatures? And 'cold' colors vice versa? So the redder colors have lower c/t and bluer colors have higher c/t, then   why does the camera's color temperature - adjusting slider has the bluer colors on the left, and the redders on the right?       Please, forgive me for my ignorance... In C#, can I convert a string value to a string literal, the way I would see it in code? I would like to replace tabs, newlines, etc. with their escape sequences. If this code: Console.WriteLine(someString);  produces: Hello World!  I want this code: Console.WriteLine(ToLiteral(someString));  to produce: \tHello\r\n\tWorld!\r\n Can I uninstall and reinstall Ubuntu Software Center? Since migrating to a true install and upgrading to 12.04 I have had several problems that seem to relate to the Ubuntu Software Center. Hanging at applying changes and blank screen on screen lock only when it is running, for instance.  My question is: Can I safely uninstall and reinstall Ubuntu Software Center and could this possibly fix those problems or are they just bugs I have to wait for updates for? Ampere's circuital law for finite current carrying wire When I was studying about .

This is a  about how to handle email sent from your server being misclassified as spam.  For additional information you may find these similar questions helpful:                    Sometimes I want to send newsletters to my customers. The problem is, that some of the emails get caught as spam messages. Mostly by Outlook at the client (even in my own Outlook 2007).  Now I want to know what should be done to create "good" emails. I know about reverse lookup etc., but (for example), what about a unsubscribe link with an unique ID?  Does that increase a spam rating? What currency does the galaxy deal in besides credits? In APM and the Clone Wars series, among other media, there are frequent instances where Republic credits are not accepted. These are typically places outside of the Republic and especially in the criminal underworld, Republic or otherwise.  If Anakin wants to pay Hondo to deliver some missiles illegally and not ask any questions, and Hondo does not accept credits, then what does Anakin pay him off with? How can I invest in country A to take advantage of their great interest rate while I live in country B? If I live in the US, for example, where current interest rates are practically nil, how can I take advantage of the fact that ? End Process vs End Process Tree What is the primary difference between the two? I always see this in the right click menu in windows. What happens if you end a process that is relied upon by another process? Is there a way to "kill" a process tree in linux or is the technology different? What makes the inside of a shape the inside? Dual boot => Triple boot A 256GB SSD has Windows-10 and 16.04 installed.  BIOS not UEFI.  A charity I work with requires me to use Quickbooks Desktop on Windows.  The plan is to ghost the existing system to a 512GB or larger SSD and create a third bootable Windows 7  partition for performing charity activities.   Is this possible to have a third partition? Is there a good example you have used as a guide? Is triple booting with two Windows partitions different from 2 Linux partitions?   If you have done this before ( with GRUB) please indicate this in your response: lessons-learned are appreciated.  Thank you Which equals operator (== vs ===) should be used in JavaScript comparisons? I'm using  to go through JavaScript, and it's returning many suggestions to replace == (two equals signs) with === (three equals signs) when doing things like comparing idSele_UNVEHtype.value.length == 0 inside of an if statement.  Is there a performance benefit to replacing == with ===?   Any performance improvement would be welcomed as many comparison operators exist.  If no type conversion takes place, would there be a performance gain over ==? How do I add a DNS server via resolv.conf? Is /etc/resolv.conf useless in  (Precise Pangolin)?  I see that the DNS server information is stored in  now. The nmcli command line tool can list that for you.  If I want to add one more  server, will adding it to /etc/resolv.conf by using the resolvconf package help? Customizing the output of Compass sprites I'm trying to process some data in Excel. The data includes numeric account numbers and other long numeric strings (like cell phone MEIDs). I am not doing math operations on these strings, so I want Excel to treat them as plain text.  Here is what is making me nuts (this is Excel 2010):   Take a long number like 1240800388917 and paste it in a cell in a new worksheet. Excel's default cell format is general, so the string is presented in scientific notation as 1.2408E+12 Right click on the cell, select Format Cells, set the format to Text   The cell is still displayed in scientific notation, even though the format has been set to text.  Now, if I do the steps in a different order:   Format an empty cell as text. Right click on the cell, select Format Cells, set the format to Text Take a long number like 1240800388917 and paste it in to the text formatted cell   Now, the cell is displayed as a string and not in scientific notation.  The results remaining in scientific notation even though the cell is formatted as text just seems broken to me. I've seen suggested work-arounds like: use CSV import and set the format to text, add a space character to the beginning of each numeric string, and others.  Is there a simple good work around to easily keep these strings formatted as text?  Why on earth does Excel do this?  Related SU questions I found:  and How is pressure an intensive coordinate? 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. Switch statement fall-through...should it be allowed?
