We have a fresh server setup where a team member exidently has changed the rights for other and group users for the entire root directory.  chmod -R go-rwx /   This has lead to the fact that e.g. nobody exept of root can login anymore.  Is there an easy way to revert this? It looks to me as this is impossible as there are many folders affected.  The system is Ubuntu 18.04 LTS
This is a  about File Permission and Why 777 is "destructive".   I'm not asking how to fix this problem, as there are a ton of references of that already on Server Fault (reinstall OS). Why does it do anything destructive at all?  If you've ever ran this command you pretty much immediately destroy your operating system. I'm not clear why removing restrictions has any impact on existing processes. For example, if I don't have read access to something and after a quick mistype in the terminal suddenly I now have access well... why does that cause Linux to break?
Does a creature with Lifelink provide lifegain equal to its power, or the defender's toughness? I have recently began playing a deck that has a number of creatures with lifelink in it.  I want to be certain I understand the mechanic and the following question occurred to me.  Which damage total do you use to determine the life gain from lifelink?  I had assumed that if  a 3/3 creature with lifelink was blocked by a 2/2 creature that the life gain total would be 2, the maximum that the blocker can absorb before dying.  This seems to be incorrect, as when I read the example attached to CR 119.4c      [...] attacks with a 3/3 creature with wither and lifelink. It’s blocked by a 2/2 creature, [...]. The damage event starts out as [3 damage is dealt to the 2/2 creature, 2 damage is dealt to the 3/3 creature]   Have I been short changing myself? I was wondering if quantum particles do actually  exists in two different states simultaneously and if it has been proven they do indeed exists in a superposition of states.  How has it been figured out since observing it would collapse the wave-function into one single state (two superposition of states into one ) as it has been mentioned in the Schrodinger's cat experiment? "Cannot find this file" error when deploying from Visual Studio 2010 I'm getting an error in Visual Studio 2010 after pressing F5 to Debug:     Error occurred in deployment step 'Add   Solution': Error: Cannot find this   file specified in the manifest file:   G2_SiteDefinition_List_Instances_Feature\ListInstance1\Elements.xml   But elements.xml file is there with the ListIntance1 folder.

Modify a shape and have modifications apply to clones Is there any any "Symmetry Modifier" option in illustrator?   Let's say I want to create a head that is totally symmetric. I created one half then mirrored it to get another half. Flipped the other half, aligned them and joined them together with Pathfinder→Unite option.   Now I modified some portion of the right half outline. But how can I get that same modification to be updated on the left option? I thought it would happen automatically. My laptop has 500gb hard disk in which for 250gb I installed Windows xp on C drive(primary partition). I want to install Ubuntu 12.04 in the remaing hard drive with dual boot option. When I am going to install Ubuntu it is showing something like  /boot /boot/   Can anybody help me in this regard that where and how to install Ubuntu? What will the universe look like for anyone falling into a black hole? I've heard that, from the perspective of an external observer, something falling into a black hole will eventually look "frozen": light waves will move to the infrared and further into lower frequencies.  But what about that unfortunate individual falling into such a black hole? What will he/she see when looking back at our universe?   For instance, I wonder, will it be the ultimate end of the Universe? Can someone who just crossed events horizon of the black hole still receive messages from our side? What does this cryptic Bash command mean? Would I be scrutinized at the border for traveling to the US twice in a quick succession? I am a British citizen visiting the USA in early August for a two week vacation with friends. After the holiday I'm returning to my home in the UK for three weeks. After that I will return to the USA and will be working for my British employer under the Visa Waiver Program for a period of 80-85 days.  I have read already that there is technically no problems with this under ESTA rules, but should I limit this working period to a shorter time frame (e.g. 70 or so days) so that it does not negatively affect the decision made by the POE officer? Ideally I would love to be over in the states for the near-full 85 day period.  Any advice or previous experiences anyone can offer?  Some clarifications: As confirmed by the immigration attorney, as I am employed by my UK employer, it will be regarded as a business trip, the important part being that I will be working officially as a consultant for my UK employer just overseas for the allotted 85 or so days how does capacitor work ? how do they conduct electricity ? Sorry, i am novice in electronics, trying to understand basic fundamental of electronics.  1. How does capacitor conduct current when two plates aren't physically connected. Friendly error page to replace WSOD This should be the easiest thing to do, but for some reason I just can't get it done.  I'm trying to get a friendly static error page to replace nasty 500 scenarios. For now I'm just trying to replicate a 500 situation on my local machine (Drupal 7 running on MAMP) by throwing in some crap characters on the top of my template.php in my theme, which does trigger a 500 situation, but for some reason the ErrorDocument directive in my .htaccess or Apache config file has no effect.  What I'm doing is quite simply this:  ErrorDocument 500 /500.html   And I have the simplest ever static html-page in the root of my site with the name of 500.html.  Still, when I intentionally break template.php, I get the dreaded White Screen Of Death instead of my nice friendly error page.  What am I doing wrong here? I've done this a billion times in non-Drupal setups but just can't get my head around this one. Let $R$ be a UFD and $r\in R$ irreducible. If $S=R-(r)$, why is $S^{-1}R$ a PID?   I've finished proving the integral domain part, which was pretty easy.  How to prove it's principal? consider $R \subset S^{-1}R \subset F$, where $F$ is the field of fractions of $R$?  thank you! :p Is the "Final Release" a "Development Release"? Update  appear to have been updated recently (as of writing this the last update appears to have taken place on 3rd of June) to include the following statement:  The -d switch is necessary to upgrade from Ubuntu 18.04 LTS as upgrades have not yet been enabled and will only be enabled after the first point release of 20.04 LTS.  Also note that .  TLDR (as of 15 Aug 2020):   is the canonical tracking document for the first Focal Fossa point-release (20.04.1). It’s a live document. The Ubuntu release team will be updating it as we work on releasing 20.04.1. […] Upgrades from 18.04 to 20.04.1 are still disabled as we are working through a few upgrade blockers   Edit The answers (so far) do not answer the question. The question is pretty simple. Ubuntu.com points to a &quot;FinalRelease&quot;, which turns out to be a &quot;Development Release&quot;, see evidence below. I'm not asking how and when to upgrade. I'm pointing out what seems to me to be an apparent inconcistency (in semantics, linguistics, logic) in the way Ubuntu names or labels its releases. From an answer to the question I'd except someone to pick up and acknowledge this inconsistency. An answer could start with a &quot;Yes, ...&quot; or a &quot;No, ...&quot;, for starters. (Moreover, a good answer could distinguish between the release being in dev stage and/or the upgrade process (e.g. from LTS to LTS) being in dev stage, if appropriate.) This question, as I see it, is not a duplicate. Futher, I think it is a question which deserves a non-patronizing answer. Thanks.   indicates that today (23rd April 2020) the new Ubuntu 20.04 LTS is to be released.  See &quot;condensed screenshot&quot; here:  Indeed, it seems that that's what happened, see  and :  However, when following the instructions to upgrade (from 18.04 LTS to 20.04 LTS) found  and elsewhere (edit: actually , too!), even prior to the July point release, I'm a bit confused to see that the instruction is to use update-manager -d which also points to the &quot;Development Release&quot; (see screenshot below) rather than the &quot;FinalRelease&quot; (see screenshot and link above). Is the &quot;Final Release&quot; (which I'm after) the/a &quot;Development Release&quot;? Why isn't it called something like &quot;Production Release&quot; or &quot;Final Release&quot;? When will it no longer be referred to as &quot;Development Release&quot;? In July? I'm confused :( How do the Chitauri "ships" propel themselves? In the 2012 The Avengers film, the Chitauri army arrives through the portal along with these big robot alien whale Chitauri dudes. Here's one chasing Iron Man:  These guys basically swim through the air like... giant robot alien whales. I don't see any means of propulsion. Other, more humanoid Chitauri soldiers fly around on things that seem to be mechanical &quot;speeders&quot; of sorts. What are these guys? Are they ships, creatures, or both? Is there an explanation anywhere in the Avengers universe for how they defy gravity and swim through the air? How to use mirror ball to light a scene?
