What to do before upgrading to Ubuntu 17.10 from Ubuntu 17.04
How to install software or upgrade from an old unsupported release?
A coin is tossed $n$ times. What is the probability of getting odd number of heads?   I started this chapter sometimes ago and faced in front of a tough problem. At first I started considering cases. Case-I : The probability of getting 1 head.Case-II : The probability of getting 3 head and so on. But there are many cases. So how can I solved this . Please help me. Thank you! Im very new at LaTeX and I would appreciate some help solving this problem. I have created a BibTeX file containing all references to a document. In this text file BibTeX items are inserted and no other text are written, for instance @article{...}. When I call for this bib file from the main.tex file I use the commands:  \bibliographystyle{plain} \bibliography{thebibliography}   Now to my question. All i get when I compile this main.tex is the title (bibliography) for this chapter, otherwise the textfield is blank. Is this error occurring because I should write anything in the bib file or have I missed any lines in the main.tex file.

Hello [Comma?] John, I have a follow up question to this question:   My question is: when should you add a comma when starting a letter/email with     Hello John,      It was fun to see ...   I am pretty sure that a comma goes after the name, but lately I have seen several people (academics) write      Hello, John,       It was fun to see ...   with a comma after the Hello.  I am wondering when a comma there is appropriate.    I see this question  but I am wondering about the situation where you have a comma after the name also. Ideal of the twisted cubic The twisted cubic is the image of the morphism $\phi : \mathbb{P}^1 \to \mathbb{P}^3 , (x:y) \mapsto (x^3:x^2 y:x y^2:y^3)$, it is given by $X = V(ad-bc,b^2-ac,c^2-bd)$. Now I would like to compute $I(X)$, which equals by the Nullstellensatz the radical of the ideal $I := (ad-bc,b^2-ac,c^2-bd) \subseteq k[a,b,c,d]$. I think that that $I$ is already a radical ideal, even a prime ideal. Namely, I suspect that  $$\phi^* : Q:=k[a,b,c,d]/I \to k[s,t] , a \mapsto s^3, b \mapsto s^2 t , c \mapsto s t^2 , d \mapsto t^3$$ is an injection. If this is true: How can we prove that? I've already tried to find a $k$-basis of the quotient, but this turned out to be a big mess. Even the representation of the quotient as a monoid algebra doesn't seem to help. Another idea is the following: A formal manipulation of generators and relations implies $Q_a \cong k[a,b]_a$. Thus it suffices to prove that $Q \to Q_a$ is injective, i.e. that $a$ is not a zero divisor.

When I downloaded Ubuntu onto my USB stick, it won't start up.  Do I first have to download Ubuntu onto my chromebook hard drive, open Ubuntu and then make USB stick bootable? And then return back to chrome?  Or is there a way to download directly onto USB and make the stick bootable?  I appreciate any help. Possible Duplicate:          This is a line spoken by the . I always wondered if this is grammatically correct.  Luke says something like "You are mistaken ..." which the Emperor answers with     No, it is you who are mistaken!   Why wouldn't he say     No, it is you who is mistaken!   instead?  I don't know what rules apply here but my stomach tells me the latter is (at least also) correct, although you would say "you are mistaken". It feels as if he should be referring to "you" in the third person.  Could you please shed some light? Are both correct or – if not – which one is correct? And why?

Every time I try to do some update (sudo apt-get update) it says:   Reading package lists ... ready W: Duplicate sources.list entry http://archive.canonical.com/ubuntu/ need /partner amd64 Packages (/var/lib/apt/lists/archive.canonical.com_ubuntu_dists_precise_partner_binary-amd64_Packages) W: Duplicate sources.list entry http://archive.canonical.com/ubuntu/ need /partner i386 Packages (/var/lib/apt/lists/archive.canonical.com_ubuntu_dists_precise_partner_binary-i386_Packages) W: You have to run apt-get update to correct these problems   sources.list:   ls /etc/apt/sources.list.d/ as requested:  milton@milton-HuronRiver-Platform:~$ ls /etc/apt/sources.list.d/ emesene-team-emesene-stable-precise.list precise-partner.list precise-partner.list.save upubuntu-com-chat-precise.list upubuntu-com-chat-precise.list.save Install MS Truetype Fonts system-wide for all users I would like to install the MS Truetype Fonts that come through the package ttf-mscorefonts-installer, so I did:  sudo apt-get install ttf-mscorefonts-installer   Accepting the license, the process completes without any errors. The fonts end up in     /usr/share/fonts/truetype/msttcorefonts   as expected. Just to be sure, I also did a  sudo fc-cache -f -s -v   which among other things says in its output:     /usr/share/fonts/truetype/msttcorefonts: caching, new cache contents: 60 fonts, 0 dirs   So far, so good (and inline with question ) However, when I then open any font dialog (e.g. in OpenOffice or the font dialog of the terminal) I don't see all of the new fonts. For Arial, the standard form is missing, but bold and italic are there. Times New Roman is missing altogether.  I can use nautilus to browse to the font directory, double click the Arial.ttf file and see the font in all its beauty. I can even click the install button then and the font is copied over to my personal ./fonts directory and from there on visible to my apps. But it is not picked up from the system directory.

Cleaning my Macbook Pro Retina leaves greasy 'streaks' across the screen I try to clean my mid-2015 Macbook Pro with Retina display by wiping the screen with a damp cloth and then immediately drying.  However, there seems to be left some residue/streak marks, which look very oily. Sometimes these disappear after a few minutes, but they are still very unsightly, and a bit worrying (is there something wrong with my screen?)  I'm wondering if there are other cleaning techniques which avoid this issue, or whether this is completely normal behaviour.  Thank you!
