I am trying to change the noisetexture.png to black screen but it still flashes a purple screen while logging in .  I changed this   #lockDialogGroup {    background: #2c001e url(resource:///org/gnome/shell/theme/noise-texture.png);    background-repeat: repeat;  }   to  #lockDialogGroup {    background: #00000 url(file:///home/sk/image.png);    background-repeat: no-repeat;     background-size: cover;    background-position: center;}   How to solve this issue?
I changed both the desktop and login screen background photos. However,only desktop photo is changed. The one on the login screen is still the purple Ubuntu one. Is this a bug?
Laptop battery charge management I work on a HP laptop plugged in most of the time, and after a few months the battery went off-duty.  Of course, I could remove the battery each time the laptop is plugged and replace it each time I must move to where no sockets are around. But I think that:   It would be really BORING! The computer would not avail itself of the useful backup power supply a battery can provide in case of black out.   It should simply switch off the battery charging when a safe power level is reached (i.e. 95%) and start recharging it, not every five minutes, but only under a certain safe threshold (i.e. 40% - 50%).  In its energy-saving profiles, Windows 7 only allows for setting up screen brightness, screen fadeout, screen deactivation and the suspension, not managing any charging issue.  Is there a way to accomplish this? Can you break up your Attack action for a bonus action? You can do it to move:     If you take an action that includes more than one weapon attack, you can break up your movement even further by moving between those attacks. For example, a fighter who can make two attacks with the Extra Attack feature and who has a speed of 25 feet could move 10 feet, make an attack, move 15 feet, and then attack again. (PHB 190)   It would be necessary for the Great Weapon Master feat:     On your turn, when you score a critical hit with a melee weapon or reduce a creature to 0 hit points with one, you can make one melee weapon attack as a bonus action   As a level 17 Fighter, if I can not place a bonus action between attacks, there are two possibilities:   I have to wait until I finished all 4 attacks of the action, to make another attack as a bonus action the bonus action attack is wasted unless the kill or crit happens on the 4th attack   So can I take a bonus action in the middle of the attacks of an action? Identify this story about a quickly healing woman Years ago I read a short story about a woman trying to commit suicide. However, because she had a extremely high rate of healing, her wounds were never fatal. The story ends with her being in the morgue after her heart was taken out for transplantation. Before a new heart could grow she was incinerated. The person who received her heart received the quick healing as well.  Does anyone know this story? What is the "wheel" user in OS X? Is there a single word to describe a solution that hasn't been optimized? I am working with some code, and I would like to describe the difference in its performance when it is optimized versus when it is not optimized. Unfortunately, I can't find a word to describe the code before it is optimized; "sub-optimal" might work, but I want to emphasize that this is the first iteration of the code. If "unoptimized" were a word, I would use that, but I haven't found any references to it in any dictionary.  Perhaps "raw" or "original"? Suppose $E/F$ is a field extension and $\alpha, \beta \in E$ are algebraic over $F$. Then it is not too hard to see that when $\alpha$ is nonzero, $1/\alpha$ is also algebraic. If $a_0 + a_1\alpha + \cdots + a_n \alpha^n = 0$, then dividing by $\alpha^{n}$ gives $$a_0\frac{1}{\alpha^n} + a_1\frac{1}{\alpha^{n-1}} + \cdots + a_n = 0.$$     Is there a similar elementary way to show that $\alpha + \beta$ and $\alpha \beta$ are also algebraic (i.e. finding an explicit formula for a polynomial that has $\alpha + \beta$ or $\alpha\beta$ as its root)?    The only proof I know for this fact is the one where you show that $F(\alpha, \beta) / F$ is a finite field extension and thus an algebraic extension. OK guys I have this problem:  For $x,y,p,q&gt;0$ and $ \frac {1} {p} + \frac {1}{q}=1 $ prove that $ xy \leq\frac{x^p}{p} + \frac{y^q}{q}$  It says I should use Jensen's inequality, but I can't figure out how to apply it in this case. Any ideas about the solution? How to make a file (e.g. a .sh script) executable, so it can be run from a terminal I was just watching a mega factory video and wondered why they use an AC motor which requires a power inverter instead of DC which may be powered directly from their DC battery? Introducing an inverter means more cost (weight, controller, etc).  Are there any reasons for that? What are the differences between an AC and DC motor that may have lead to this decision? Also does anyone know what kind of motor is used in other electric cars? I 'had' better get going (Why 'had'??) How do you use a variable in a regular expression? I would like to create a String.replaceAll() method in JavaScript and I'm thinking that using a regex would be most terse way to do it.  However, I can't figure out how to pass a variable in to a regex.  I can do this already which will replace all the instances of "B" with "A".  "ABABAB".replace(/B/g, "A");   But I want to do something like this:  String.prototype.replaceAll = function(replaceThis, withThis) {     this.replace(/replaceThis/g, withThis); };   But obviously this will only replace the text "replaceThis"...so how do I pass this variable in to my regex string? I tried to install Xubuntu 13.10 on an older computer. I noticed some difficulties during installation that may be relevant to my problems. Notably:   The screen resolution was extremely low. The windows were much larger than the screen and I had to move them around to get to the "Next" button. The mouse cursor was a blur of colours that was flashing all the time.   The installation finished and I tried to reboot the computer. Immediately I got:  error: attempt to read or write outside of disk 'hd0'.  Entering rescue mode...  grub rescue&gt;   I made a  USB disk, booted it and chose the default repair. The application told me that the problem is repaired and that If this does not solve my problem I should show  to someone who can help me.  What should I do next? I already tried to install Ubuntu and Xubuntu, both with no success.  EDIT:  I found a workaround.   Insert the Xubuntu live USB Select "try Xubuntu" In the settings menu select "install Xubuntu"   This fixed the problem for me. Since it is solved I cannot test the answer. How to make an ext4 formatted usb drive with full RW permissions for any linux machine? I want to format my USB stick to ext4 and just use as I would any other typical non-linux format drive (FAT32, exFAT, NTFS).   That is to say, I want to be able to plug the usb stick into any of my linux machines, and read/write to it without needing to adjust permissions, like doing chmod or chown stuff.  I would prefer to use GUI partition software like GParted, rather than command-line commands, though I welcome any solution!  I'm sure a post like this is duplicate flag heaven for some, but after browsing 6~10 SO and forum posts from google, I didn't find a simple solution to my question. Seemed like everything was about adjusting permissions on a per-user basis. Maybe you just cannot use ext4 drives with the same brainless convenience as NTFS.

Since I've a database systems examination in less than 3 hours (from now), I have been browsing Stack Exchange network for questions with normalisation and related tags. Most of the questions are now closed as  or others from the list.  Since, these questions are closed, no users are allowed to post answers to them (unless they are reopened). Why am I, then, allowed the option to protect such questions? Doesn't that beat the entire purpose behind "protecting" a question?
