I'm looking to know how to update Ubuntu through the Terminal command line.  I want to update the operating systems software for when and if the people behind ubuntu launch an update for v16.  This works on 14.04 sorry for making it look alike.
When I log into my web server via SSH I see the information:  88 packages can be updated. 80 updates are security updates   I tried apt-get update then apt-get upgrade but each time I log in I still see the message about updates. How do I install them?
How can I trigger a command when a player is hit by a Snowball? I am trying to make a snowball that triggers a command when it hits a player in 1.15, but I don't know how to do that. When I do execute at @e[type=snowball] run gamemode spectator @a[distance=..2] it only runs the command if it goes right next to them. I tried a couple of substitutions but have so far gotten nowhere. Can anyone guide me in the right direction? Thanks for your time. Durrett Example 1.9 - Pairwise independence does not imply mutual independence? Long boot delay on Ubuntu loading/splash screen following regular dist-upgrade on clean SSD install (18.04) I'be been running 18.04 since a clean SSD install on the day of it's official release, without issues. Power on to login was seconds (max 10)  Then, I did a regular upgrade this morning:  $ sudo apt update &amp;&amp; sudo apt dist-upgrade   The packages installed/upgraded were:  Install: linux-headers-4.15.0-24:amd64 (4.15.0-24.26, automatic), linux-headers-4.15.0-24-generic:amd64 (4.15.0-24.26, automatic), linux-modules-extra-4.15.0-24-generic:amd64 (4.15.0-24.26, automatic), linux-modules-4.15.0-24-generic:amd64 (4.15.0-24.26, automatic), linux-image-4.15.0-24-generic:amd64 (4.15.0-24.26, automatic) Upgrade: gnome-control-center-data:amd64 (1:3.28.1-0ubuntu1.18.04.1, 1:3.28.1-0ubuntu1.18.04.2), linux-headers-generic:amd64 (4.15.0.23.25, 4.15.0.24.26), gnome-control-center:amd64 (1:3.28.1-0ubuntu1.18.04.1, 1:3.28.1-0ubuntu1.18.04.2), linux-image-generic:amd64 (4.15.0.23.25, 4.15.0.24.26), linux-signed-generic:amd64 (4.15.0.23.25, 4.15.0.24.26), gnome-control-center-faces:amd64 (1:3.28.1-0ubuntu1.18.04.1, 1:3.28.1-0ubuntu1.18.04.2), linux-generic:amd64 (4.15.0.23.25, 4.15.0.24.26)   I rebooted once the upgrade had completed, and noted a 2-3 minute delay on the Ubuntu loading/splash screen (prior to login) (without any progress/activity indicated on the dots).  I powered off and tried to boot again, but am getting this delay consistently now. Also close down is much slower too.  Update #1 (2018-07-03): Analysis on systemd:  $ sudo systemd-analyze blame 3min 53.073s plymouth-quit-wait.service     2min 20.699s snapd.seeded.service          49.949s snapd.service           6.186s NetworkManager-wait-online.service           1.148s dev-sda2.device           1.098s plymouth-start.service   Showing that plymouth-quit-wait.service (which I now believe is related to the Ubuntu loading/splash screen) and snapd.seeded.service were by far the longest running services to initiate. So I compared the times before the dist-upgrade and after:  $ journalctl -u plymouth-quit-wait.service --since today -- Logs begin at Fri 2018-04-27 13:01:30 BST, end at Tue 2018-07-03 12:38:05 BST. -- Jul 03 04:15:43 user-laptop systemd[1]: Starting Hold until boot process finishes up... Jul 03 04:15:46 user-laptop systemd[1]: Started Hold until boot process finishes up. -- Reboot -- Jul 03 04:21:17 user-laptop systemd[1]: Starting Hold until boot process finishes up... Jul 03 04:24:52 user-laptop systemd[1]: Started Hold until boot process finishes up.   Before the upgrade plymouth-quit-wait.service took 3 seconds. After the upgrade it took 3 minutes 35 seconds  $ journalctl -u snapd.seeded.service --since today -- Logs begin at Fri 2018-04-27 13:01:30 BST, end at Tue 2018-07-03 12:42:14 BST. -- Jul 03 04:15:43 user-laptop systemd[1]: Starting Wait until snapd is fully seeded... Jul 03 04:15:43 user-laptop systemd[1]: Started Wait until snapd is fully seeded. -- Reboot -- Jul 03 04:22:47 user-laptop systemd[1]: Starting Wait until snapd is fully seeded... Jul 03 04:24:49 user-laptop systemd[1]: Started Wait until snapd is fully seeded.   Before the upgrade snapd.seeded.service took 0 seconds. After the upgrade it took 2 minutes 2 seconds.  Update #2 (2018-07-06): This morning's boot saw the return of the delay. So I guess we're still waiting for the kernel/plymouth/snapd update.  Update #3 (2018-07-12): The problem seems to be resolved, but I didn't see any update to snap or plymouth, and I'm still running 4.15.0-24 kernel. So I'm not sure which package update fixed the problem, or if it just resolved itself somehow. Reading the bug updates on launchpad it's unclear to me what was done (or is being done) to what package/s. If anyone can clarify that would be very useful. Proof $1+2+3+4+\cdots+n = \frac{n\times(n+1)}2$ Apparently $1+2+3+4+\ldots+n = \dfrac{n\times(n+1)}2$.  How? What's the proof? Or maybe it is self apparent just looking at the above?

Storing the original document class page layout with geometry Is it possible, using the geometry package, to store (and restore) the original layout specified by the document class (in my case, the class is report)?    Here is some context.  I have been editing a long document in the default page layout for the report document class.  Now I found out that I need a title page.  There is a particular title page layout, and in fact, it works perfectly if I just load the geometry package with its default and change just two settings.  But then I want the rest of the document back in the original page layout!  I can't do something like \restoregeometry, since I think geometry just overrides the class options... i.e. there doesn't seem to be anything to restore.  Similarly, it seems I can't use \savegeometry or \loadgeometry.  So how can I get back to my original layout for the rest of the document without painstakingly hard-coding in all of the specific page layout variables?    Here is a minimum working example:   \documentclass[a4paper,10pt]{report}  \RequirePackage[a4paper,dvips]{geometry} % g1 \geometry{top=2.5cm,bottom=2.3cm}        % g2  \begin{document}  \input{the_title_page}  \SomeGeometryCommandsHere  % g3  \input{the_rest}  \end{document}   If I run the above code with the lines labeled "g" commented out, then the title page does not have the correct page layout, but the rest of the document is formatted perfectly.    If I leave lines g1 and g2 uncommented, then the title page has exactly the correct layout, but no matter what I put for g3 (e.g. \loadgeometry, \restoregeometry, etc.) I can't recover the original layout that I had when g1 and g2 were commented.  Of course, I could completely specify the original layout exhaustively in line g3, and this should in principle work.  However, I spent almost one hour on this last night and when I still couldn't get it formated correctly I decided I really needed a smarter solution. Is there a function in python to split a word into a list? Live USB for installation does not boot, black error screen followed by visual artifacts on a purple screen I'm trying to install Ubuntu 18.04 desktop with Rufus on a computer with the following specs:  CPU: AMD Ryzen 5 2600 MOBO: ASUS Prime B450M-A/CSM RAM: G-Skill Ripjaws DDR4 F4-2400C15D-16GVB GPU: Nvidia GeForce GTX750 PSU: Apexgaming AG-650M SSHD: Seagate Firecuda Compute mATX: Rosewill SCM-01  Basically it boots from the USB (FAT32) and brings up a black error screen with words and numbers. Then it transitions to the purple splash screen with &quot;ubuntu&quot; and 5 dots, however the screen shows various visual glitches depending on which USB port I plug into. When trying to boot the computer, it boots to a black screen with the following error message: ACPI Error: Needed [Integer/String/Buffer], found [Region]    that shows what I mean. The Time That 2 Masses Will Collide Due To Newtonian Gravity My friend and I have been wracking our heads with this one for the past 3 hours... We have 2 point masses, $m$ and $M$ in a perfect world separated by radius r.  Starting from rest, they both begin to accelerate towards each other. So we have the gravitational force between them as:  $$F_g ~=~ G\frac{Mm}{r^2}$$  How do we find out at what time they will collide?  What we're having trouble with is this function being a function of $r$, but I have suspected it as actually a function of $t$ due to the units of $G$ being $N(m/kg)^2$.  I've tried taking a number of integrals, which haven't really yielded anything useful.  Any guidance?  No, this is not an actual homework problem, we're just 2 math/physics/computer people who are very bored at work :) Loop background music? I work at a nursery and I have a hard time managing the toys that the kids play with. I watch them put things in their mouths, cough and sneeze on the toys, and throw everything on the ground. Even though I see all of these things, it is hard to find the time to clean all of the toys, simply because there are too many and I do not have that much time. Any input would be appreciated!
