I hope I am not wrong by asking a Kubuntu question.  Previously there was a desktop theme called Bare Naked.  It is my favorite, but no longer is available.  Is there a way to make the panel background invisible?  If so, how?  I installed a different version of Kubuntu.  Bare naked remained in the configuration apparently, because widgets I have on my desktop remain with invisible backgrounds.  But the panel background became opaque.  Thanks! :scratch:
It seems that panel shadow is somehow hardcoded in KDE 4 and devs do not have any plans to change it and/or make it customizable. So, what I'm actually asking is some kind of hack (if there is any) which will remove the shadow of the panel in KDE 4.x completely (but without need to disable all desktop effects in the process).  Possible application: When a user wants a completely transparent panel, no top/bottom borders at all, the shadow is completely out of place and destroys the experience.
How to escape  inside  tags I'm trying to write a blog post which includes a code segment inside a &lt;pre&gt; tag. The code segment includes a generic type and uses &lt;&gt; to define that type. This is what the segment looks like:  &lt;pre&gt;     PrimeCalc calc = new PrimeCalc();     Func&lt;int, int&gt; del = calc.GetNextPrime; &lt;/pre&gt;   The resulting HTML removes the &lt;&gt; and ends up like this:  PrimeCalc calc = new PrimeCalc(); Func del = calc.GetNextPrime;   How do I escape the &lt;&gt; so they show up in the HTML? What is `$?` ? Is it a variable? The question is pretty straight forward. I can get the exit code of the previous command by using $?. But what exactly is it?  I don't think it is a variable, because you can't have any special characters in the name of variable other than _.  foo?foo=10   will result in the error: foo?foo=10: command not found  So if it is not a variable, what is it? Are there others like it? Counter with 4 flip flops jk synchronous from 3 to 13! I have to create a counter with 4 flip flops jk synchronous. The counter shall count in this order: 3 to 13 and then to 3 to 13 and so on..  I have to use logisim simulator.   Ok. So i think its solved. I realized that the circuit needs to start at 0 ou 1 and stabilize after the 13 and then it goes to 3. Thanks for your help.  Hope this will help for somebody else too.  Thank you all for your help! How to know if an object has an attribute in Python Is there a way in Python to determine if an object has some attribute?  For example:  &gt;&gt;&gt; a = SomeClass() &gt;&gt;&gt; a.someProperty = value &gt;&gt;&gt; a.property Traceback (most recent call last):   File "&lt;stdin&gt;", line 1, in &lt;module&gt; AttributeError: SomeClass instance has no attribute 'property'   How can you tell if a has the attribute property before using it? I found an asnwered question concerning this topic already here:  Copying \captionsetup[subfigure]{justification=centering} doesn't help me thought for I am using different packages.

Fun times, I'm making a (manual) index of the lecture slides for class (which are nowhere near latex, ppt files yay) and of course Latex insists on placing pagebreaks willie nillie through my items. Why isn't there a "keep (paragraph) with next (paragraph)" option like there is in Word 2007 (and all others I think). Is Word really more powerful than Latex [when it comes to this specific attribute of paragraph flow]?  *full page before here* Knowledge in the \nopagebreak\\ \nopagebreak \nopagebreak - Head   Results in   *full page* Knowledge in the  ---8&lt;--- Next page - Head ...    Yes, I know I can place a \newpage before the line to push it to the next page, but there has to [HAS TO] be a way to make Latex understand that this isn't what I want, these two lines are supposed to stick together!   Edit: Full context:   *empty line* Knowledge in the \\ - Head \slid{44, 69} - World \slid{5, \textbf{44}, 66, 69, 84} *empty line*   With slid being:   \newcommand{\slid}[1]{\dotfill #1 \nopagebreak\\}   It seems to be to be that the -World line is pulling down the -Head line, if I add an empty line between them, both Knowledge.. and -Head stay on the same page, with -World on the next one. But when I combine the two, only -Head gets pulled to a new page, and Knowledge... stays on the previous page. Integrating Knowledge into an existing website I'm trying to make a material node setup to set final render colors, regardless of lighting conditions. Is such a setup possible? Should spam posts be edited? I noticed that the posts of the recent spam surge on Ask Ubuntu were all edited by community members into something like     EDITED - REMOVED SPAM ANSWER   or similar.  While I understand why the users have done this and I too don't want to leave the spam content visible for longer than absolutely necessary, it made flagging more time consuming for me.  I had to check the revision for every of those possible spam posts to check if it is actually spam, instead of being able to flag directly from the review site. Spam flags carry a serious penalty, I'm not willing to add my spam flag without checking that it's really spam.  I see the benefit of editing spam, but it also causes some more effort for the later flaggers. Should we as a general policy edit out the content of spam posts, or should we deal with them solely by flagging? Capture characters from standard input without waiting for enter to be pressed hostname returns another device's name I realized that the hostname had changed while I was doing some work using terminal in OS X Yosemite. I thought there might be an IP address conflict so I reset it. However I still get another device's name (someone else's iPhone, to be exact) when I use the hostname command:  Last login: Fri May  1 15:52:42 on ttys000 SomeonesiPhone:~ irem$  SomeonesiPhone:~ irem$ hostname SomeonesiPhone.wireless.duke.local   What's going on and how can I fix this?  It appears the IP address has not changed. But the address that I get by doing ipconfig getifaddr en0 is different from my public IP address.  I looked up my public IP address using Google, like this: How can I prevent my text object from flickering? I often need to view on the canvas the (selected or not) features from the current active vector layer.  In this situation, I only need to view something on the canvas, without doing anything on the canvas itself (so, the active window is always the Attribute Table).  This is what I usually do:   Open the Attribute Table for the current active layer; Select the first feature; Press Ctrl+P button (i.e. the "Pan map to the selected row" button); Minimize the Attribute Table; View something on the canvas for the current feature; Go to the first step until needed.   Is there a way (a method, a shortcut) for directly browsing every feature on the canvas without the needing of going backwards and forwards with the Attribute Table? I mean, something like a "next" button?  (I may use the workaround of splitting the windows of the Attribute Table and of the canvas within the monitor, or also docking the Atrribute Table, but I would like to work on the full QGIS window).    EDIT I saw that my question was casted as a duplicate of  question. The two questions are very similiar, but I think it should be left as open for two reasons:   the related duplicated question doesn't have an accepted answer; my question is slightly different because I'm looking for the possibility of displaying only the selected features (and the @Joseph's , that I marked as accepted, answers well to my request). What is wrong with this query? (Unknown error parsing query) When I run the following query in query editor I get this error.

Drawing a triangle from medians Waiting for a file to be created in C# Taking a skyline photo with a person closer to the camera during night time How can I take a photo which shows the skyline and the person who is standing around six feet away from the camera with proper lighting at night?   For taking just the skyline I've used long shutter speed and it turned out great, but when including a person on it, the person becomes  blurry because it's impossible for a person to remain static for that long.   Ps.  I do have two flashes, 35mm prime lens as well as 18-300mm zoom lenses as well. The camera I use is Nikon D7200. I see questions come up quite often that have this underlying issue, but they're all caught up in the particulars of a given feature or tool. Here's an attempt to create a canonical answer we can refer users to when this comes up - with lots of animated examples! :)    Let's say we're making a first-person camera. The basic idea is it should yaw to look left &amp; right, and pitch to look up &amp; down. So we write a bit of code like this (using Unity as an example):  void Update() {     float speed = lookSpeed * Time.deltaTime;      // Yaw around the y axis using the player's horizontal input.             transform.Rotate(0f, Input.GetAxis("Horizontal") * speed, 0f);      // Pitch around the x axis using the player's vertical input.     transform.Rotate(-Input.GetAxis("Vertical") * speed,  0f, 0f); }   or maybe  // Construct a quaternion or a matrix representing incremental camera rotation. Quaternion rotation = Quaternion.Euler(                         -Input.GetAxis("Vertical") * speed,                          Input.GetAxis("Horizontal") * speed,                          0);  // Fold this change into the camera's current rotation. transform.rotation *= rotation;   And it mostly works, but over time the view starts to get crooked. The camera seems to be turning on its roll axis (z) even though we only told it to rotate on the x and y!    This can also happen if we're trying to manipulate an object in front of the camera - say it's a globe we want to turn to look around:    The same problem - after a while the North pole starts to wander away to the left or right. We're giving input on two axes but we're getting this confusing rotation on a third. And it happens whether we apply all our rotations around the object's local axes or the world's global axes.  In many engines you'll also see this in the inspector - rotate the object in the world, and suddenly numbers change on an axis we didn't even touch!    So, is this an engine bug? How do we tell the program we don't want it adding extra rotation?  Does it have something to do with Euler angles? Should I use Quaternions or Rotation Matrices or Basis Vectors instead? How can i make the grass bend when this cube hits it?  Here's the picture: Is there a word for happiness made possible by a tragic situation? I frequently find myself needing a word to express happiness that acknowledges a tragic or unfortunate circumstance underpinning that happiness. Preferably the word could have both adjective and verb forms. For example, "Gregory [verb-ed | felt adjective about] the balmy February day, suspecting it was yet another consequence of catastrophic and irreversible climate change."  "Bittersweet" is close, but not precisely right. It implies ambivalence rather than genuine gladness. "Schadenfreude" is also in the neighborhood, but I don't want to imply that the tragic part of the situation is what causes the pleasure. (Also, I recognize that the word may not quite exist in English, and I don't know if this is forbidden for this forum, but I'd welcome a loan word or phrase if there's a better one.)
