I’ve got a windows tablet that I want to install Ubuntu on. I have attempted this previously but the touch screen is not recognised, and after failing to get it working I reinstalled windows. The touchscreen still did not work so I had to install the drivers from the manufacturers website to get the touchscreen to once again work on windows. Can I install said drivers on Ubuntu so the touchscreen works? It uses a MS DOS command file to install them, how can I get the drivers to install on Ubuntu? Cheers
I am buing assamble self PC for playing games.  I am wondering, all the drivers, which are most likely for Windows, can i just use them on Ubuntu?  So if i understand you right, it will automaticaly detect the drivers, no need for installs ? or it find custom drivers for ubuntu.  This is the setup, will there be any problem with it?
What methods of ‘clearfix’ can I use? I have the age-old problem of a div wrapping a two-column layout. My sidebar is floated, so my container div fails to wrap the content and sidebar.  &lt;div id="container"&gt;   &lt;div id="content"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;   &lt;div id="sidebar"&gt;&lt;/div&gt; &lt;/div&gt;   There seem to be numerous methods of fixing the clear bug in Firefox:   &lt;br clear="all"/&gt; overflow:auto overflow:hidden   In my situation, the only one that seems to work correctly is the &lt;br clear="all"/&gt; solution, which is a little bit scruffy. overflow:auto gives me nasty scrollbars, and overflow:hidden must surely have side effects. Also, IE7 apparently shouldn't suffer from this problem due to its incorrect behaviour, but in my situation it's suffering the same as Firefox.  Which method currently available to us is the most robust? What did the public at large know about the assassination attempt on Palpatine and how he survived it? I know the statement:  create table xyz_new as select * from xyz;   Which copies the structure and the data, but what if I just want the structure? Access gnome-shell messaging tray using keyboard Is there a keyboard shortcut to access the gnome-shell messaging tray? E.g. For responding to incoming IM, etc. Proof, is $\forall x : (P(x) \lor Q(x)) \Leftrightarrow \forall x : P(x) \lor \forall x : Q(x)$? I have to prove if the following statement is true or false $$\forall x : (P(x) \lor Q(x)) \Leftrightarrow \forall x : P(x) \lor \forall x : Q(x)$$  I understand the first statement as, for every $x$, at least one of the functions $P$, $Q$ is true. For the second statement, at least one of the functions $P$, $Q$ is true for every $x$. Is this correct? When yes, how could I prove this? Using the distributive law will clearly render me the wrong result. I know this sounds silly but I would like some objects to follow physics while others not to collide each other.   I tried to achieve them by setting their position exclusively. But then it will ignore all physics.   Is what I am trying to do even possible? Can you use an external 301 redirect for a blog post hosted on wordpress.com? How do I enable hibernation on Wubi? I installed Ubuntu on my Windows 7 Sager laptop using Wubi. Hibernate (i.e. suspend to disc) is not an option from the power icon, only suspend, shutdown, etc. Hibernate is also not an option from my battery/lid close options. I understand that hibernation is disabled by default in Ubuntu 12.04. I tried running pm-hibernate but I get the following message:  Looking for splash system... none  s2disk: Snapshotting system   and then the computer just hangs with a black screen. According to the documentation  if this fails then I can't enable hibernate but it offers no help in making pm-hibernate succeed.  Could swap be my problem? It looks like I have very small swap:  user@ubuntu:~$ cat /proc/swaps Filename                Type        Size    Used    Priority /host/ubuntu/disks/swap.disk            file        262140  0   -1   The advice on  is only for the author's set up (e.g. I don't have an Ubuntu install disk since I used Wubi) and he says that 'INFO: This will not work for 12.04, resume from hibernate work differently in 12.04.'  Any advice? I really need to get hibernate working to use my laptop as a, er, laptop.  Thanks How can I download an older version of Xcode? I am trying to download Xcode from the App Store, but it says that I have to have a newer version of macOS. But I don't have enough space on my computer to upgrade. Its like 8 gigs or something like that and if I only could download Xcode that was compatible with macOS Sierra that would be nice. Can magnetic fields be "blocked"? For example, in the game, TitanFall, a robot stop bullets with ( presumably ) a magnetic shield.  I wish to calculate the magnetic force required to stop a bullet within a few microseconds.  But the problem I have is that my entire electronic system or the vehicle ( most likely even a building ) will be subjected to massive fields most likely destroying it as well.  Does any know of a way to "block" or divert the field around my vehicle? Is it even possible? My knowledge in magnetic fields are quite limited at this time. How can I balance uniformity of style files against modularity? I'm using Windows/TeXworks/MiKTeX, and I would like to have one style file I can use anywhere in any document in my top-level folder. If I want to add a new command or renew an old one, I'd like that to be available in all documents recursively contained in my top-level folder. I have a very hierarchical structure to my top-level folder. So this would seem to point to having a single file that TeXworks knows about. Could I add a path in Preferences -> Typesetting -> Paths for TeX and related programs? I've tried that, possibly superficially, without any success. Adding the correct folder to the Windows PATH variable doesn't seem to do the trick, either.   On the other hand, suppose I want to send someone a TeX file? It would be nice in such circumstances to be able to have the style file in the same folder as the TeX file. If I do that, how could I ensure that it's always up-to-date? Is there a script available somewhere that could take my master style file and push it down to all pre-existing lower-level locations?   Just to reiterate: I want uniformity of my style files in my very hierarchical folder structure. However, I would also like modularity, in that each folder is self-contained. How can I achieve that?  Also, out of curiosity, since I may acquire a Linux computer soon, how would I do this in, say, *ubuntu with TeXlive? How to make putty to not break my session after some time? Check if specific id element exist I'm working through a problem regarding expected values in Markov chains, and at some point it says:     Recall from probability that if $X$ is a positive integer valued random variable, then $\mathbb{E}[X] = 1 + \sum^\infty_{k=1}\mathbb{P}(X &gt; k)$.   I know that by definition $\mathbb{E}[X] = \sum_a a\mathbb{P}(X = a)$, but I can't see how the above equality follows from this, nor am I sure if this is how to approach the problem. How do I make a bootable USB OS X installer on a Mac? Does anyone have a Terminal command-line recipe for making a new bootable USB flash drive for one of the new MacBook Air's?  Is there a way to dd copy the USB boot device that comes in the box and make the new copy bootable?  I'd like to make a new backup copy of the USB rescue device for my MBA, preferably on a much larger flash drive with room for a backup of some of my working directories.  Added:  And is it possible to make, not just a rescue drive, but a bootable USB drive that will boot a fully updated version of the OS (say 10.6.8 or later)?  If so how on a MacBook Air 11, and how big a USB stick will this require? Sequence of triangles with exponentiated sides Let $a,b,c\in\Bbb R^+$. For any given $n\in\Bbb N$ there exists a triangle with sides $a^n,b^n,c^n$. Show that at least two of $a,b,c$ are equal.   I know that you can create inequalities for $a^n,b^n,c^n$, but what's next? What else can you do in the turn you ready an action? What is the purpose of the thin wire at the top of power transmission lines? I know a power transmission line carries usually two sets of 3 phase conductors. But I have noticed a relatively thin wire at the center-top of the power transmission line. What is the purpose of this thin wire? Should I ask questions I already know the answer to and answer them myself? Let $U$ be connected. A function $u \in H^1(U)$ is a weak solution   of Neumann's problem   \begin{equation} (*)\qquad\left\{ \begin{array}{rl} -\Delta = f &amp; \text{in } U \\ \frac{\partial u}{\partial \nu} = 0 &amp; \text{on } \partial U \end{array} \right. \end{equation}   if   $$ \int_U Du \cdot Dv \; dx = \int_Ufv \; dx $$   for all $v \in H^1(U)$. Let $f\in L^2(U)$. Prove $(*)$ has a weak solution   if and only if   $$ \int_U f \; dx =0. $$   For the only if part I set $v=1$. However I do not see where to start the if part. I was thinking of the Lax-Milgram theorem. That's where I'm now.
