How to check the video memory size of my Graphic card? I used (System Profiler and Benchmark) and it showing me that I have only 256MB but I have the Nvidia GTX 1050 Ti 4GB.
Is there a way to check the size of the video memory? Specifically, is there one that works accurately for both integrated GPU's as well as PCI/AGP graphics cards?  Many integrated GPU's have dynamically allocated memory, so the solution would hopefully return either the maximum available video memory or the currently allocated amount. For stand-alone NVidia or ATI cards it would obviously return the total amount of physical GPU RAM.  lspci -v does output memory figures, but I do not believe it is the video memory. I suspect the figure reported is some system memory allocation or block or channel size, but I don't know for sure. You can see in these  that lspci was wrong in 5 of the 6 tests:  ** ASUS EN210 PCIe - 1024 Mb ***   01:00.0 VGA compatible controller: nVidia Corporation GT218 [GeForce 210] (rev a2)         Subsystem: ASUSTeK Computer Inc.

"How are" or "How is" the wife and kid? How are the wife and kid?   How is the wife and kid?      Which is more correct? Deep confusion with conventions and signs in geometric optics This is an equation given in my book.     The question is why have they used a negative sign on the LHS?   Now, if you try to derive the mirror equation with simple geometry, you get  1/v +1/u =1/f . I got that equation without applying any signs there!  So what is the need to apply the signs ‘here'?   If i try to derive this equation ( the one in the photo ) i get the exact answer, but with the positive sign in the LHS. WHY we use the negative sign in the derivation, and then  again we use conventions while solving the questions? Problem after update: blue screen with only the mouse cursor Let a be a positive number. Then $\lim_{n \to \infty}[\frac{1}{a+n}+\frac{1}{2a+n}+\cdots +\frac{1}{na+n}]$ Cubic polynomial with three (distinct) irrational roots I am looking for an equation     $$x^3+ax^2+bx+c=0, \qquad a, b, c \in \Bbb Z,$$   of degree $3$ that has $3$ different roots.  For an equation of degree $2$ it is easy---for example $x^2-2=0$---but I can't find an example for degree $3$.  if there is a method for finding this kind of Equation I will be grateful. different font while using url I'm having troubles while using the url command in my bibliography.

File names for JSP include directive to avoid compilation of them I feel stupid asking, but I can't seem to find the answer to this anywhere. I'm trying to follow  to edit my bash prompt, but there is no .bashrc in either my user directory (~/.bashrc), or in my home directory, or in the main file system directory.   There is no .bashrc in /etc/ (there is a bash.bashrc, however).   Do I create a .bashrc file in my user or home directory? Is there a better, more recent set of instructions for modifying the bash prompt? How to choose a specific weight from a font family using fontspec and XeLaTeX As you can see, objects are falling down when I run the game. Ground is unable to stop those obstacles. Obstacles are rapidly traveling through y axis. I tried by freezing y axis. And, unchecked Use Gravity. I tried by checking Is Kinematic also. But, if I freeze y axis. Than, obstacles completely freeze through y. If there was no ground than the objects don't fall. Same thing happen when I unchecked Use Gravity. I want those obstacles to move if Player hit them. How to stop those obstacles from falling down?   Info : Custom right-click action in Unity Launcher keeps cursor busy for 20 seconds To have a "minimize window" option through right click on an icon in the Unity launcher (Ubuntu 14.04), I followed the detailed instructions  about changing a .desktop file and made a custom Firefox launcher in ~/.local/share/applications/ folder. The relevant part of the .desktop file is:  Actions=NewWindow;NewPrivateWindow;Minimize  [Desktop Action NewWindow] Name=Open a New Window Exec=firefox -new-window OnlyShowIn=Unity;  [Desktop Action NewPrivateWindow] Name=Open a New Private Window Exec=firefox -private-window OnlyShowIn=Unity;  [Desktop Action Minimize] Name=Minimize Windows Exec=sh /home/myusername/Documents/xdotool_sh/minimize.sh firefox OnlyShowIn=Unity;   The desktop action "Minimize" invokes a simple shell script, minimize.sh that has the following content:  #/bin/bash name=$1 for i in $(xdotool search --class "$name"); do     xdotool windowminimize $i done   The script uses xdotool, that can be installed from the official repositories, to find all the firefox windows, iterate over them and minimize them.  The script works and the launcher right menu option "Minimize Windows" works as well, but as soon as the windows are minimized, the mouse pointer gets in "busy" mode and stays like this for about 20 seconds (although the mouse actions are still responsive).   Does anyone know why starting a shell script from a right menu option in Unity could lead to this behaviour?  EDIT: Apparently the wait period is inevitable, as explained in Jacob Vlijm's answer. Since the mouse remains responsive, avoiding the transformation of the pointer in the spinning wheel is a partial esthetic workaround, as explained on .  EDIT2: giving the system a fake window is a better solution, as explained by Jacob below. In Trailhead we have the query to get the Contacts for the Account named "SFDC Computing", with an inner query.   SELECT Name, (SELECT LastName FROM Contacts) FROM Account WHERE Name = 'SFDC Computing'   It works fine for my purposes.  "Contacts" is the name of the relationship, per Trailhead. So, I went to Object Manager and examined the Account object's "Fields and Relationships". There is nothing named "Contacts"!   In general, how do I get the name of the relationship, for use in similar SOQL queries? Is it "5–6 weeks are a lot of time" or "5–6 weeks is a lot of time"? What is this type of flexible contact strip called? The LCD below is from a cheap digital clock which was (obviously) damaged (broken glass).    The electrical connection between the PCB and the display was realized with this pink strip.    Its flexible...    ...and consists of alternating rows of conductive and insulating material between the pink boarders.    [above image was altered in contrast/brightness to highlight the alternating strips]  What is this kind of connector called? Is it only used for displays?   I am pretty impressed that the connection is reliable just from the very slight pressure between the strip and the PCB. Also, its easily removable from the display. There seems to be some conductive layer on the glass, from where the signal goes into the displays internals. This connection seems to be damaged for the three rightmost signals, where the glass is broken. How to run grep with multiple AND patterns? I would like to get the multi pattern match with implicit AND between patterns, i.e. equivalent to running several greps in a sequence:  grep pattern1 | grep pattern2 | ...   So how to convert it to something like?  grep pattern1 &amp; pattern2 &amp; pattern3   I would like to use single grep because I am building arguments dynamically, so everything has to fit in one string. Using filter is system feature, not grep, so it is not an argument for it.    Don't confuse this question with:  grep "pattern1\|pattern2\|..."   This is an OR multi pattern match. My Ubuntu is running fsck on every bootup Why is the gradient of implicit surface the normal vector (i.e. parallel to the normal line)? If we have an implicit surface $g(x, y, z)=...$, the gradient is a normal vector. But why? Do I have to start with tangent vectors and then show the gradient is perpendicular?
