I've had problems with my packages and Software Center for some time.  I can't download any packages, and can't open Software Center. It says that I have Brokencount &lt;0.  How can I fix my packages?  I tried:  sudo apt-get autoclean  sudo apt-get autoremove
I just recently bought an arduino and requires gcc-avr/avrdude to compile the software. I installed avr for another microprocessor component a while ago but is obviously an outdated version (gcc version 3.3 20030512 (prerelease)) so I went ahead to update these but it didn't work.   (Please note that before hand I also broke my aptdaemon through an incomplete wine installation (couldn't get passed font installation agreement) but I fixed that via a re-installation then accepting the agreement.)   I am trying to update these by running  but the dependencies it requires cannot be installed due to avr... terminal reports   Reading package lists... Done Building dependency tree        Reading state information... Done build-essential is already the newest version. libncurses5-dev is already the newest version. libncurses5-dev set to manually installed. libusb-0.1-4 is already the newest version. libx11-dev is already the newest version. You might want to run 'apt-get -f install' to correct these: The following packages have unmet dependencies: arduino-core : Depends: gcc-avr but it is not going to be installed avr-libc : Depends: gcc-avr (&gt;= 1:4.3.4) but it is not going to be installed Depends: binutils-avr (&gt;= 2.20) but it is not going to be installed binutils-dev : Depends: binutils (= 2.21.0.20110327-2ubuntu3) but 2.21.0.20110327-2ubuntu2 is to be installed libcwidget-dev : Depends: libcwidget3 (= 0.5.16-3ubuntu2) but it is not going to be installed Depends: libsigc++-2.0-dev but it is not going to be installed Depends: libncursesw5-dev but it is not going to be installed libmpfr-dev : Depends: libgmp3-dev (&gt;= 4.2.dfsg-1) but it is not going to be installed python-dev : Depends: python (= 2.7.1-0ubuntu5.1) but 2.7.1-0ubuntu5 is to be installed Depends: python2.7-dev (&gt;= 2.7.1-1~) but it is not going to be installed tk8.4-dev : Depends: tk8.4 (= 8.4.19-4) but it is not going to be installed E: Unmet dependencies.

So how can I fix my system, I really need the new avr, please :) BTW, my system is Ubuntu 11.04
Could new users be prompted to edit instead of commenting? It's very common to ask for additional information on a question.  This is perhaps most common with new users who are a little unfamiliar with the need to put all relevant information in their question to start with.  To be blunt, I'm a little tired of explaining to new users that an edit is better than a comment, particularly where we ask "please add the output of..." I note that some users have taken to explicitly asking OPs to edit their question and adding an edit link in their comment.  But still this is missed.  More recently, adding a comment to a new user's question displays a little note saying:     ... is a new contributor. Be nice, and check out our Code of Conduct.   Could there be a similarly formatted note to new contributors commenting on their own question or answer:     If you need to add more information please  your [question][answer] instead of adding a comment. Why does Calculate button remain gray in Group Stats Plugin for QGIS? In my case I failed to use  plugin (2.0.30) with QGIS 2.14.11 and 2.18.3 on windows64.  Tested on several datasets: points, polygons, and csv.- But I am not sure what I have missed.    I want to click on this Calculate button. Is it fair to buy a return ticket I know I will never use just because it's cheaper? I am planning a trip to Asia and then back to Rio. The thing is that I am traveling on flexible dates, so I am thinking of buying a one way ticket to Hong Kong, and I was planning to do the same when I want to come back.  But what I noticed is that, for example, a one way ticket from Melbourne to Rio costs no less than $2700 dollars for the month of May.  When I do a search for a round-trip from Melbourne to Rio and back, I can find flights for $2200.  I know I will not be using that return to Melbourne, but I'd still prefer to save those $500.   Can there be any issue with buying a round-trip with a return that I will never use? I'd like to be able to introspect a C++ class for its name, contents (i.e. members and their types) etc. I'm talking native C++ here, not managed C++, which has reflection. I realise C++ supplies some limited information using RTTI. Which additional libraries (or other techniques) could supply this information? Apache error "Could not reliably determine the server's fully qualified domain name" When I restart my Apache server using the command  sudo /etc/init.d/apache2 restart   I get the following error:  Restarting web server apache2 apache2: Could not reliably determine the server's fully qualified domain name, using 127.0.1.1 for ServerName ... waiting apache2: Could not reliably determine the server's fully qualified domain name, using 127.0.1.1 for ServerName   Is the server using 127.0.1.1 instead of 127.0.0.1? What causes this error? A limit ordinal $\gamma&gt;0$ is said to be indecomposable iff $\nexists\alpha,\beta&lt;\gamma$ such that $\alpha+\beta=\gamma$.  In view of this definition, I’m trying to prove the equivalence of the following statements for limit ordinals $\gamma$:  (1) $\gamma$ is indecomposable.  (2) $\alpha+\gamma=\gamma$ $\forall\alpha&lt;\gamma$.  (3) $\gamma=\omega^\alpha$ for some $\alpha\in\mathrm{ON}$.  I’ve been able to get $(1)\implies(2)$ and $(3)\implies(1)$, but I have nothing more than scratch work for $(2)\implies(3)$.  Any suggestions would be appreciated. If $f:\mathbb{R}\to\mathbb{R}$ is continuous and $$\lim_{x\to\infty}f(x)=\lim_{x\to-\infty}f(x)=\infty$$  Prove that $f$ has a minimum on $\mathbb{R}$; that is, there is an $x_m\in\mathbb{R}$ such that $$f(x_m)=\inf_{x\in\mathbb{R}}f(x)&lt;\infty$$  I think the best approach would be to prove the existence of a lower bound, that is $\exists M\in\mathbb{R}:M&lt;f(x),\forall x\in\mathbb{R}$, but I don't know how to do this. I am probably supposed to use the extreme value theorem or the intermediate value theorem, but I don't know how to do that. I'd like to have a python program alert me when it has completed its task by making a beep noise.  Currently,  I use import os and then use a command line speech program to say &quot;Process complete&quot;.  I much rather it be a simple &quot;bell.&quot; I know that there's a function that can be used in Cocoa apps, NSBeep, but I don't think that has much anything to do with this. I've also tried print(\a)  but that didn't work. I'm using a Mac, if you couldn't tell by my Cocoa comment, so that may help. Are all eigenvectors, of any matrix, always orthogonal? please I tried to find counterexamples to see that $l^p$ is not norm with $p&lt;1$ in the triangle inequality but I have problems with convergence when I choose some successions. Thanks. How Do I Reset A Manual Installation Of Windows Subsystem For Linux? Related:   When installing a WSL distribution outside of the Microsoft Store (for example on a restricted network, see linked), many of the standard means of interacting with that distribution are not available.  In my example, when I go through Settings > Apps and Features, the distro is not shown in the list and the management features are not available.  If I get my manually installed linux instance into a bad state, what is the correct way to reset it and bring it back to a fresh install?  Edit:  Examples of a 'bad state' encountered thus far include a BSOD during an 'apt-get update', leading to an unrecoverable state.  Also, performing multiple configuration changes to troubleshoot a problem, removing or disabling services and installing other packages without keeping close track of what was changed, with a desire to "start fresh" to test if the solution arrived at does in fact work on its own.. Can matter be described as the result of the curvature of space, instead of vice versa? Can matter be described as the result of the curvature of space, rather than the curvature of space being the result of matter, and energy being the cause of the curvature of space? Cost increase and suspend I keep reading about  ('PPAs') and people answer questions with a link to a PPA. What's the best way to use these?     There are multiple valid answers for this question spanning over several versions of Ubuntu. For your convenience, an index of each is below. Why do only Hobbits use a combination of first- and last names? While all the Hobbits I can think of have a combination of first- and lastname (e.g., Bilbo Baggins, Peregrin Took, the Sackville-Baggins's,...), I can't think of any character* of another race that has a lastname:   Men seem to like to add a reference to their ancestors (e.g., Aragorn, Arathorn's son or Isildur's heir) Dwarves seem to like descriptive or honorary names (e.g., Thorin Oakenshield, Dain Ironfoot). They are not lastnames though, since they do not get passed on to descendants. Elves don't have a need for lastnames, since elvish names are unique. Some nevertheless seem to have an additive (e.g., Legolas Greenleaf). Likewise, I can't find any usage of lastnames among Ents, Eagles, Istari, Orcs, trolls,...   But why would a society that is quite rural and not a leader of modernization be the only one to use a modern naming system with first- and lastnames?  *Except for Tom Bombandil. But he is, well, "special". I've read a lot about PCA, including various tutorials and questions (such as , , , and ).   The geometric problem that PCA is trying to optimize is clear to me: PCA tries to find the first principal component by minimizing the reconstruction (projection) error, which simultaneously maximizes the variance of the projected data.    When I first read that, I immediately thought of something like linear regression; maybe you can solve it using gradient descent if needed.  However, then my mind was blown when I read that the optimization problem is solved by using linear algebra and finding eigenvectors and eigenvalues. I simply do not understand how this use of linear algebra comes into play.  So my question is: How can PCA turn from a geometric optimization problem to a linear algebra problem? Can someone provide an intuitive explanation?  I am not looking for an answer like  that says "When you solve the mathematical problem of PCA, it ends up being equivalent to finding the eigenvalues and eigenvectors of the covariance matrix." Please explain why eigenvectors come out to be the principal components and why the eigenvalues come out to be variance of the data projected onto them  I am a software engineer and not a mathematician, by the way.

This is a  about securing public DNS resolvers   Open DNS servers seem pretty neat and convenient, as they provide IP addresses that we can use consistently across our company regardless of where they are located. Google and OpenDNS provide this functionality, but I'm not sure that I want these companies to have access to our DNS queries.  I want to set up something like this for use by our company, but I hear a lot about this being dangerous practice (particularly in regards to ) and I want to make sure that we do this right. What things do I need to keep in mind when building this type of environment? Switching languages in bibliography with biblatex I would like to have a bibliography with both Cyrillic and Latin and the main document language being English. How can I make biblatex to automatically switch between languages? (without using XeTeX as suggested by some) The minimal example returns an error if the main language is English. However, with the main language being Russian the document works.  \documentclass{article}  \usepackage[utf8]{inputenc} \usepackage[russian,english]{babel}  \usepackage[backend = biber,babel=other]{biblatex} \usepackage{csquotes} \addbibresource{library.bib}  \begin{document} %\selectlanguage{russian} %if the main document language is Russian the bibliography is compiled without any problem.
