I installed a dual boot of Ubuntu 16.04 (Windows being my other OS) two months ago to try it out. I want to allot more space to it on my hard drive. I was looking up tutorials, and I noticed that my filesystem names don't look anything like those in the tutorials. For example:  df -h   outputs:    How would I allot more space to Ubuntu (in layman's terms)?
Till today I was using ubuntu 13.04 in my windows7/ubuntu dual boot. Just now I have upgraded to ubuntu 14.04. My software updater showed an updates available message. I proceeded with  Install Now . Soon I got the following window.    Then I tried sudo apt-get clean as recommended. Nothing happened! Not even a window opened. Teach me deleting the temporary packages.   Deleting temporary files may not be highly helpful in case of further updates and installs for I don't have too much space left in my /. I wanna extend my / partition with the help of the unallocated space in my HD. The following is my Gparted window.       I got an answer . But it wasn't useful for me. I had two choices. But the answer wasn't working for both my chioces.  Choice 1: I may use the 4.25 GiB unallocated space to extend my /dev/sda10. To do so, I must need to move my linux-swap partition. But my Resize/Move option is disabled for the linux-swap partition. Choice 1 failed!   Choice 2: I may use the 14.35 GiB unallocated space instead. In this case I must move more than one partition. /dev/sda4  partition is the first on the list. Even that partition has the same problem. Resize/Move option is disabled. Choice 2 failed!  I am out of choices now.  What shall I do? Help me to extend my / with Gparted.

In course of evolution (possibly), mammary glands became vestigial in male mammals, but became fully developed in females. Is there any plausible explanation for this characteristic? Is there a criterion to differentiate "thriller" from "horror"? The genres, in my opinion, have a very slim boundary separating one from another. I see a lot of movies being categorized as thriller or horror almost interchangeably, which might seem like lack of thought or criteria. However, is there a true criterion used to differentiate between the two film genres? How do I check whether a file exists without exceptions?

I just wanna ask are there some configs that make Profile or Permission Set unique.  Are there things that could only be done via permission set and not via Profiles and vice versa ? Move all files within subfolders to parent folder Firstly, I'm aware there are tons of similar questions, and I know because I must have tried adapting at least 5 of them, but I'm still here asking because my crappy grasp of CMD (which I actually thought I was getting good at up until this point) is frustrating me with generic, unhelpful errors, and I can't understand what part of the syntax is wrong. This is likely due to the fact that other questions deal with the folder/filename structures of their respective OPs, and when I try to adapt the code to my own folder/file structure it refuses to work. Therefore, I'm here asking for a CMD for loop solution that'll actually work for my own file and folder structure.  I have a parent folder which contains many other folders, in which there are files:  Parent Folder      Subfolder            File1            File2      Subfolder            File1            File2      Subfolder            File1            File2   ...and so on.  I'm wanting to use a CMD for loop in combination with the move command to extract all the files in the subfolders to the parent folder, leaving each subfolder empty.  When giving the CMD for loop please break down what each part of the command is doing, as this'll help make sure I understand the code and hopefully minimise the trouble I have getting it to work for myself.

Question  What's the difference between say, yellow light (575 nm) from sunlight vs. the same yellow light that's displayed on the computer screen? Aren't they different? Is our brains mixing together the RGB lights together and its being interpreted as yellow light or is yellow light the same (575 nm) light that comes from sunlight actually hits our eyes?  Relationship between Fourier Series and light?  1) So I know that in Fourier Series, you have basis functions, sines and cosines that make up any other function depending on the coefficients that are in front of the sines and cosines terms.  2) I know that RGB colors on a screen are the "basis" for all the other colors that a computer screen makes up and the intensity of each of the RGB are like the "coefficients". So, am I making the correct relationship here? Expansion of $(1+\sqrt{2})^n$ How do I hide the System Reserved partition from the Windows Explorer?

PS: I want to hide it, not delete it. scanf() misbehaving How to get rid of update notifications for a given app in Google Play Store? General question I have an app X installed on my device in version Y. I don't want to update it to any newer version (Y+z) for some reason. Still, the Google Play Store app always lists updates for X, which keeps me from a simple &quot;update all&quot;. My question, put to a single sentence:  How to hide updates for X permanently from the &quot;available updates&quot; list?   Specific examples First, I know there are alternatives as e.g. the , which can handle this quite well (skip this update, skip all future updates). I prefer a &quot;generic solution&quot;, which does not depend on a 3rd party's market app. Second, I know that  includes a &quot;Market doctor&quot;, which can be used to disconnect an app from Google Play.1 However, in my specific case that only worked for a few hours: I disconnected GTalk, as I don't want it replaced by Hangouts. The update notification disappeared for a few hours, then it was back. No idea what restored the &quot;link&quot;. Third, just to make sure: I'm not talking about the &quot;auto update&quot; feature as discussed e.g. in . I was rather hoping for something close to , but without the need to &quot;freeze&quot; the app in question (which I still want to use, but in the version installed, not in a &quot;future version&quot; available). Fourth: No, uninstalling the app in question is no option here, though it would perfectly hide any future updates from being displayed :) Nor is &quot;freezing&quot;, as the app is used regularly. Fifth: There is a related question for my GTalk example:  However, I want the opposite: No update.  It might very well be that &quot;Google Apps&quot; (and other pre-installed apps) are handled in some specific way, and restore their &quot;market links&quot; themselves somehow. For this case, my question includes: How to prevent that from happening?  Update There's a  discussing the very same issue. Until recently, a work-around for &quot;user installed apps&quot; was to uninstall them and then sideload the .apk – but even that stopped working. Well, re-signing the .apk with a different key might work for user-apps. But both would fail for pre-installed apps (can't sideload them to override; different signature would refuse that install completely). Moreover, there's an  on this by some &quot;joel.bou..&quot;. Not hard to guess, though blanked out: that would be Joël Bourquard. If it's really him, then that's really an issue (for those who don't know: Joël is the dev behind Titanium Backup). Let me quote from the issue:  For the record: in the Android Market days it was possible to &quot;Attach&quot; or &quot;Detach&quot; apps (on rooted devices) with a system tool such as Titanium Backup. But nowadays (with the Google Play Store app) this has become nearly impossible to do, because the complete app list seems to sync from Google's servers and the user has no control over that.  Which explains why detaching with apps like Titanium Backup is no longer permanent. And I'm afraid I've asked the impossible. But I thought the same in the past with other questions, and surprisingly got solutions here.
