I've recently downloaded Ubuntu from the Windows Store (I'm running windows 10) and I wanted to start familiarize with it, I saw that it's possible not only to have the bash command line, but also a graphical interface. However, in the tutorial I saw () it seems that the method to start up the GUI is outdated/not working properly, could someone help me setting the GUI up so I can start Ubuntu inside Windows and use it? Thank you.
I searched around, and currently there are two methods suggested; installing an enhancement for Windows Subsystem for Linux and installing an XServer.  I want to know which method is the most hassle-free (easy to install AND to use), and which one is less memory-heavy.  I just want Synaptic and CMake. Why couldn't that be a builtin feature?
Allow cancelling of stars from message Currently, the only way to cancel stars in a chat transcript is when the chat-message is visible in the chatroom's sidebar.    However, in a fast-moving, multi-star chatroom, the window of opportunity to cancel can be short, and rapid changes in starring can quickly make this impossible to do in a timely way.  We use stars as markers in moderator chat events (where the Community managers disseminate important information to the moderator teams) as well as for town halls during elections.  Feature request: Allow mods/room owners to cancel stars from the chat message menu box, including in the transcript. How do I translate strings in Twig templates? I am working on a (my first) Drupal 8 project witch is a multilingual site. Drupal 8 really delivers in terms of native support for content translation.  However, I have a few strings set directly in some if the theme .Twig template files printed out like ex.   {{ 'Read more'|trans }}   I am really stuck on where to handle the translation for strings like these within the Drupal 8 installation.  What steps do I need to take to be able to translate these strings into the language currently selected for on the site? Do I need any additional modules other than the ones included in Drupal 8 core?  Steps I have taken:   Activated the Content Translation &amp; Interface Translation modules Added Twig strings like {{ 'Read more'|trans }} Flushed cache and refreshed pages containing the strings Checked admin/config/regional/translate for the strings with no result This image is what's supposed to look like in Edit Mode/Object Mode(although I still can make these screenshots even after the update by pressing F12 which is rendering) but the following is what my donut looks like now in Blender.  It shows no shadows and colors. The only thing I did is updating blender to 2.81 from 2.80. And I don't know what but something seems off with blender. Sometimes I can't click any objects so I just pressed tab and then now it's all clickable. Seems like I was in edit mode, but to me, it looked exactly like object mode. I don't know what is wrong with it. How do I make my colors show up again? I am trying to get from a particular point more informations about the surroundings (which are also points). So I wrote this:  SELECT *    FROM osm_point    WHERE ST_DWithin(way,(ST_SetSRID(ST_MakePoint(12.2385578688105, 51.8435615931295), 4326, 1000);   But there is an error     ERROR: FEHLER:  LINE 3: ...T_MakePoint(12.2385578688105,   51.8435615931295), 4326, 1000) ^ SQL state: 42601 Character: 133   What is wrong? When I launch certain programs from the command line like eclipse and document viewer in 11.10 it spews a load of information that seems inconsequential.   Also when they are run in the background they sometimes continue to produce output to the terminal which I am currently working on, which is irritating.  I would like them just launch and keep the background stuff in the background. My reasoning is that if you launch these programs through the GUI (eg double clicking on an icon) these messages are never shown to me, so I don't need them in the command line. Used the internet and deleted history (Internet Explorer). Can anyone find out still that I used it? What can they still find out? As the question states: I used the internet on a shared machine and deleted history (Internet Explorer), which deletes all of the following:     I do not want anyone to know that I used the internet or the Internet Explorer application. Can anyone with access to the computer find out still that I used the internet? Could they even find out what sites I visited? Or what could they find out, and how?  As to the "anyone" I'm talking about, I mean I used a university computer, that are not suspicious but just in case they decided to take the computer and check to see if I used the internet, I want to make sure they can't find anything out. How can I cover my tracks to minimize the chances that they find out I used the internet on the machine? And by use, I mean even cover up the tracks that I opened the Internet Explorer application. This is a Q&amp;A so I answer it myself. I searched for an answer to this question for ages and didn't find anything so I'll add this here if anybody else struggles with the same issue.  So, how can I merge two edge loops to one? I do not want to connect them (I have seen many answers that suggest to just bridge the edge loops), nor do I want to merge each vertex by hand. I just want each vertex to be merged with the closest opposing vertex.  Also, I find it highly unpractical and in most situations useless to remove doubles after moving the vertices to overlap each other by scaling and moving the edge loops. This is another common suggested answer. dotted line with appropriate length for answering a question? Kindly have a look at this code   \documentclass{article} \usepackage{fontspec} \defaultfontfeatures{Ligatures=TeX} \usepackage[small,sf,bf]{titlesec}  \setromanfont{Georgia} \usepackage{amssymb}  \newcommand{\checkbox}{$\square$} \begin{document}  If appropriate \checkbox  . Why appropriate, specify? ........... If inappropriate \checkbox . Why inappropriate, specify? .............. If appropriate \checkbox . Why appropriate, specify? ...........\\ If inappropriate \checkbox . Why inappropriate, specify? ...........  \end{document}   How can I make a dotted like, of appropriate length so that it is depressed, fainter, has consistent length so that it occupies the remaining white space in the  line or has specified length. How to install specific Ubuntu packages, with exact version? Can not start Chrome via command line I have a script that needs to run on multiple machines. The problem is, if I open a command line and type in chrome or chrome.exe, I get the same error message that it is not recognized as an internal or external command... I have already added it to my paths (as per screen shot below, see bottom entry in the paths) . It works this way on other computers.  The command prompt has been restarted (as has the computer) since updating the paths. Why does it not open Chrome as it does on my other machine(s)? Whilst entering C:\Program Files (x86)\Google\Chrome\Application\chrome.exe directly into the command line and pressing enter does make Chrome launch, I don't see why the path is not working. Bibtex true unsort My first steps with bibtex, with pdflatex on a linux machine.  I use \nocite{*} so that all references are printed, either cited or not.  All the bibliography style that I have found are sorting the references, either by alphabetic or order of appearance order, "features" that I would like to avoid.  Is there a way to preserve the original order of the .bib file ?  (I would like that citing references [1] to [999] does not turn to [1] to [2]). How to clear the interpreter console? Simplest Light triggered relay I am building a large array of Light Switched relays, and due to the size of the array i want to keep the part count down.  Each 'Pixel module' has a 12V SPDT, bulb and an activate-on-dark circuit. There is a strong spotlight on the device and the viewers shadow is obscuring the light in their shadow so the swing is large.  I have seen the obvious LDR-and-Pot circuits with a junction out to a NPN Transistor, and the more stable comparator alternative  I was looking at "solar cell" types of Photodiodes (PiN Type), and I can't see why I cannot just lay one across a PNP transistor (Collector to Base?) or something so it applies a Base voltage when lit up.  Can someone briefly explain to me why I am wrong?  I figure it would be all over the net if it was that easy, and i cant find any examples!  Is this possibly the cheapest way to make a light switched 12V relay driver?  Note: I prefer solutions using discrete circuitry, as I have a thing for human readability, visual components etc :P Is there a way to step between 0 and 1 by 0.1?   I thought I could do it like the following, but it failed:  for i in range(0, 1, 0.1):     print i   Instead, it says that the step argument cannot be zero, which I did not expect. I recently found a formula to help find a sequence given a generating function:  $(\frac{1}{1-x})^k=\sum_{n=0}^{\infty}\binom{n+k-1}{n}x^n, k \in \mathbb{N}$  I just wondered if there was a known proof for this, or if anyone knows of a way to prove it. How can I safely upgrade an Ubuntu installation from one release to another? What should I do before upgrading to ensure it goes smoothly, and is there any clean-up I need to do afterwards?  In particular, do I need to do anything special if I am using packages from PPAs, if I have a graphics card that needs drivers, or if I'm running a custom Linux kernel?  This is a general question , but as example we take Ubuntu 12.04 and Ubuntu 12.10 How can I remove malicious spyware, malware, adware, viruses, trojans or rootkits from my PC?

Personally I try to avoid complex types in C and try to break them into component typedef.
