32-Bit UEFI Boot Support I recently purchased a Dell Venue 8 Pro.  I have read online about what it needs in order to boot into Ubuntu or any other Linux distro.  From what I have gathered, what really needs to happen is 32-bit UEFI support.  I got information from several sites, but where it was really summed up was in this previous post:    "Ubuntu has no 32-Bit Uefi installer, ask them to add support, they may listen."  That thread was specifically about getting the Dell Venue 8/11 Pro to boot Linux.  However, there are a slew of new tablets coming out running 32-bit UEFI, and I think this is a trend that is going to continue to grow:  mjg59.dreamwidth.org/26734.html  "UEFI on IA32 isn't going away. It will show up on more embedded systems as time goes on."  Others have tried this before with mixed success, but haven't gotten things to work quite right:    "It doesn’t really work. But it’s interestingly close."  I'm trying to start a thread dedicated thread on 32-Bit UEFI support, because that is the piece that is missing (from what I understand).  I don't really know how to work with this stuff, but I'm hoping that some people who do will read this and either contact canonical or somehow patch Ubuntu (or any other distro, really) to work this way.  Again, I don't really know how to do any of this...I'm just hoping someone can help!  Dell Venue 8, 11 Pro, Toshiba Encore, Acer w3, w4, Lenovo miix, and the asus transformer a100 are all tablets that will be affected by this...I think these are going to be incredibly popular tablets once their prices go down, and I think people are really going to get interested in putting linux on these.  Any help is appreciated, and thank you all so much!  EDIT 4/1/14:  Just booted into Ubuntu on my DV8Pro!  All you have to do is follow the instructions here:    To summarize, what you need to do is download the latest Ubuntu 14 daily build (AMD 64 is what worked for me) and put that on a USB drive via Rufus.  'For “Partition scheme and target system type”, choose “GPT partition scheme for UEFI computer.”' You can get the latest daily build here:   You will need to put the file found below into your EFI/Boot directory:   Disable Secureboot and such--follow the original instructions link if you don't know how.  Then set the USB to boot first in BIOS.  This should get you to GRUB.  The rest I'll quote the original author, it's real straightforward:  In the GRUB menu, highlight “Try Ubuntu”, and press “e” to edit it. In the editing screen, scroll down to the command line options, where it says “quiet splash”. Delete “splash” and replace it with: video=VGA-1:1368x768e reboot=pci,force [EDIT: For those of us using the Dell Venue 8 Pro, you need to use this line instead: video=VGA-1:800x1280e reboot=pci,force That accounts for the different resolution of screen.]  Then press F10 to boot. You should get all the way to the Desktop.  There you have it!  This got me to the Unity Desktop.  Problems:  Wifi is not working, but I used an Ethernet adapter and that seems to work.  I tried rotating the screen, but it throws your touch input off to one side, so I left it.    Make sure to read the tutorial mentioned earlier, it is more comprehensive, even though it is made for the ASUS T100.  If nothing else, the instructions I have provided should be enough just to get you to the Unity Desktop, which for me was amazing!  Hope you too can have the same success and keep building on it!  For what it's worth, someone else did this and posted a youtube video here: How to share files through the local network? I have a desktop (Ubuntu 13.04 &amp; Win 7 Home Premium) and a Laptop (Ubuntu 12.04), both having WiFi adapters. I also have a WiFi router connected to internet which both my computers can access.  I want to share files between my desktop and my laptop using WiFi (similar to Homegroup on Windows 7 but without using Ethernet cables).  How do I set-up that?  I want to share files using both OSs, if anyone have have information about sharing files with any of the OS please answer! Configuring Firefox to use a proxy from the command line I'm looking for a way to tell Firefox to use a proxy in Ubuntu Ludid (10.04.1 LTS).   I'm installing Ubuntu semi-automatically on several identical machines. For this, I use a script that, amongst other things, sets system-wide proxy settings:  echo "export http_proxy=http://myproxy:3128/" &gt; /etc/profile.d/proxy.sh echo "export HTTP_PROXY=http://myproxy:3128/" &gt;&gt; /etc/profile.d/proxy.sh chmod a+x /etc/profile.d/proxy.sh   I can confirm that the variables are set correctly when checking in a shell. Most programs respect this setting and use my proxy. Firefox, however, does not. When I open its network connection settings dialog, however, it is pre-set to "use system settings" for the proxy.   What does Firefox expect here? A differently-named variable? Can I set something in FF's prefs.js? How to get ongoing notifications of unread texts? One of my family members texts me at night when they are having nightmares. I want to know when they text me at 4 am instead of sleeping through it.  Is there a way to make text notifications keep going off until read? Are there any rulesets or laws for Q or Q continuum? Anything, that would prevent them from doing... anything? Or at least limit them from doing something really bad?  In "" episode Q explains to  that they can do, have, get, become anything they want or appear anywhere they want, with just a snap of fingers. If that is true and if there are absolutely no borders or limits, they can't pass, then how can universe work in general? Or, how did it manage to exist so far?  I mean -- any Q could wipe out Borg, entire human population or even entire universe... with just a snap of fingers. What could prevent Q from doing that? How can a complete web page be saved and viewed on an Android device? There are situations I require to save a "complete" web page for offline reading. I can easily do that on Windows by saving the web page, but not on Android.  I am using Chrome on Android and I don't see a "save" option. Instead, I see "Save link" which, I believe, saves "only" the "pure HTML" version of a site of which the link leads to.  I have tried this but, when I view it in the HTML Viewer a lot of necessary CSS formatting and all the images were lost, which made the information misleading and incomplete respectively. (PS I thought I downloaded the complete page and the fault was that of the HTML Viewer for not rendering every thing, but I was wrong, as the desktop Chrome also displayed the "only HTML" version when I transferred those pages to my laptop through Bluetooth).  So, my question is: How can I download "a complete" web page on my Android smart-phone. It's OK if I can't view it on my smart-phone, but every thing should be in place when I view it on my laptop after transferring it. It is also OK if it is saved as a PDF file.  (PS I'm asking this as I use internet very often in my smartphone because my laptop is not connected to the internet. Also I want to transfer it to my laptop because I don't want to view those "important" pages on a small screen, it's inconvenient). In my opinion the accepted answer should permanently stick as only the original question submitter has the ability to accept. How to fix "Headers already sent" error in PHP Can't execute .out files, getting permission denied I have written a C++ program and complied it to produce a.out file. However, whenever I try to run it, I get Permission Denied. I read that we can use sudo, but I can't quite get it to work. I use something like, sudo "./a.out" but that too doesn't work.  Edit:  Here is the message I get when I try "./a.out".  bash: ./a.out: Permission denied How to add lists with unequal length? How to achieve function overloading in C? Is there any way to achieve function overloading in C? I am looking at simple functions to be overloaded like    foo (int a)   foo (char b)   foo (float c , int d)   I think there is no straight forward way; I'm looking for workarounds if any exist. Every principal ideal domain satisfies ACCP. Would like to emulate google maps' driving directions functionality but use pgRouting instead. google's data over the project area &amp; scale is quite a bit off so we want to use our own transport network data in postGIS.  any hints?  thanks. AIC versus Likelihood Ratio Test in Model Variable Selection The software that I am currently using to build a model compares a "current run" model to a "reference model" and reports (where applicable) both a chi-squared p-value based on likelihood ratio tests and AIC values for each model.  I know that one advantage of AIC over likelihood ratio tests is that AIC can be compared on non-nested models.  However, I am not aware of any reason why AIC couldn't or shouldn't be compared on nested models.  In my model, when comparing nested models for variable selection, I'm finding several cases where the likelihood ratio test and the AIC comparison are suggesting opposite conclusions.  Since both are based on likelihood calculations, I'm struggling to interpret these results.  However the documentation of my software says (without explaining),   "If two models are nested (i.e. one is a sub-set of the other) then the more usual chi-squared test is the most appropriate to use. If the models are not nested, the AIC can be used..."  Can anyone elaborate on this and/or explain why AIC is not as helpful as likelihood ratio tests on nested models?
