I have two partitions on my PC, each with Ubuntu 20.04 installed (separately). One of them has gone south, something related to graphics drivers and maybe also the bootloader. Is it possible to change things for the malfunctioning version from the one that still works? Such as uninstalling certain things, or changing the graphics driver? (I do not seem able to enter recovery mode, maybe because this is an old Macbook Air.) I'm relatively new to Ubuntu so would appreciate baby step style guidance. [UPDATE: the first answer below is exactly what I was looking for.  I don't think the other answer that has been suggested as a &quot;duplicate&quot; is helpful. It's tangential, that's all.]
I am currently in need of using apt-get on a chroot directory. The setup is the following.  I have a chroot setup with schroot. This chroot environment needs to be stripped down as much as possible. Therefore I am planning to remove apt-get and commin from the chroot environment.  I know that Gentoo has the possibility to use portage on a different root directory. Is this possible to set a different root directory for apt.get to install software into my chroot directory?  Thanks in advance
How to convert a vector map to raster in Qgis? "...his parents' dream of *him* achieving a Cambridge degree." What is the function of "him" here? I have a problem analysing this sentence from the point of finite/nonfinite clauses, clause elements and their functions:     He does not want to destroy his parents' dream of him achieving a Cambridge degree.   I am especially interested in the: dream of him achieving a Cambridge degree.  I know that 'achieving a Cambridge degree' is a non-finite -ing participle clause. However what is its function? And what is the function of 'of him'? Is it a postmodification? So I tried a few different answers that I found here, and I feel that this is possibly a duplicate question, but everything I have tried from the other solutions hasn't worked.  Basically I am trying to bake a material to a texture that will be used in Unity, but every test gives me a black background image.  In the image below, the top image texture is the mask (black and white, white being the leaves), and the bottom image texture is the colour. Why cofinality is a cardinal. Possible to have 2 unity launchers? What is the mass density distribution of an electron? Install MySQLdb (for python) as non-compressed egg The install instructions are:  $ python setup.py build $ sudo python setup.py install # or su first   This gives me an .egg file. How do I tell the install to dump the files as a normal, uncompressed library?  Thanks! Writing a function inside the main method - Java Combining randomForests in R, why are the err.rate, mse and rsq components NULL From ?combine in :     The confusion, err.rate, mse and rsq components (as well as the   corresponding components in the test compnent, if exist) of the   combined object will be NULL.   Why are the err.rate, mse and rsq components for the combined NULL? Is there an efficient way to re-calculate these metrics?  I ask because I would like to figure out a way to use the oob re-sampling method with the parRF model in . In my question's preview, the attached image looks rotated. So, assuming you are able to see it in the real orientation, can anyone determine what is that dust flake type thing on the top, slightly towards the left?   One looks like a dust flake and there's another dot to the left of it?  Note: I wont have physical access to the camera until the weekend.  Is it just a dust flake on the lens or can it be some problem with the sensor? Its a 3 month old Canon 1500D. My network includes machines running Linux and others running Windows. And my machine is running Linux. Find $f(x)$ for $f(f(x))=\sin x$ Find all (if that's possible) functions $f:\mathbb{R}\rightarrow\mathbb{R}$ such that $$f(f(x))=\sin x.$$  This is a problem a friend gave me. He said he saw it on a book a long time ago, but he couldn't remember what book. I literally have no idea how to solve this so I can't post my attempt here. VBA array sort function? I'm looking for a decent sort implementation for arrays in VBA. A Quicksort would be preferred. Or any other  other than bubble or merge would suffice.  Please note that this is to work with MS Project 2003, so should avoid any of the Excel native functions and anything .net related. If a friend wants to transfer $7000 to me, what is the best way to do it, especially if we don't share the same banks? We could do wire transfer, but that comes with its own fees. Could we also do direct deposit? Paypal doesn't allow such large lump sum transfers.  This would be US-to-US transfer. Finding the id of a parent div using Jquery Understanding DC-DC boost converters I’m currently working on a solar powered boat with a modest sized team of people. For our competition we are only allowed to have 3 12v batteries on board but we are allowed to have up to 52v at any point in our setup. We are hoping to kick up the speed of our outboard motor for the sprint portion of the completion and are looking into using a boost converter for this.   After doing a little research I’m a bit confused about how they fundamentally work. From what I can tell they take in a voltage and current and put out a higher voltage with a lower current with some level of efficiency. But it seems to be independent from the load( in this case the motor) which doesn’t make much sense to me because I thought the current would be determined by whatever my load is. How do loads actually interact with boost converters?( The simpler the better.)  For reference we are using the Saietta 119r motor system and I’m considering using the MPS MPQ3425 boost converter. What does var prime = num != 1; mean? I am trying to find the name of a direct to TV movie, possibly a 2-3 part miniseries which I believe aired on the SciFi channel in the 90s. I don't remember who starred in it, but the movie opened with an astronaut attempting reentry whose shuttle ends up exploding. He awakes in a large bubble of air in a river and after reaching the surface and swimming to shore, meets several other people, from seemingly many different times throughout history (including one alien, who died on Earth).  Over the course of the movie, we learn the world is the afterlife, where everyone goes when they die. The major plot involves launching a steamboat (built by Mark Twain, no less) to travel up a river to the mountains, where the beings responsible for bringing everyone to this world are.  Does anyone know what the title of this movie/miniseries is? What does template  mean? How exactly do automatic updates work? I received an email this morning stating that my Wordpress site had been automatically updated to the latest version. I knew about the feature but I've always wondered exactly how it works.  PHP isn't a permanently-running process: it only runs when requested. So as far as I can tell, Wordpress can only update itself when someone loads a web page. But the update process is not instantaneous, so surely a user visiting the site would have a really slow page load.  Is there a different trick they use for automatic updates? I've searched all over the place but haven't found any explanation.
