I want to make a custom distribution of my Ubuntu 15.04 i recently upgraded from 14.04 installed and configured lots of software i need and i want to make an install-able iso with all the apps i installed . Is there a way ? since remastersys don't work after Ubuntu 12.XX .it will be very helpful thanks for reading.
I would like to customize Ubuntu live CD by installing some additional packages. I have followed   but it doesn't seems to work. Can anyone provide clear instructions?   Note: I do not prefer Remastersys, manual way will be appreciated.  Customization  Packages that I want to install:   Thunderbird    Samba    SSH       Changes that I need:   Remove Games menu from the Application menu Firefox shortcut on Desktop Radiance as the default Theme Different default Ubuntu Wallpaper   Configuration file changes   I want the panel to be placed at the bottom I want to paste my Samba configuration file instead of default Samba configuration I have few Firefox shortcuts and folders I would like to show that in Desktop Also it will be nice if you say me how to change the icon sets   Recent Updates   I have customized Ubuntu 10.10 with Firefox shortcuts and few folders on desktops. Everything went smooth. But the installer gets crashes after choosing the timezone. How do i fix this issue? Also setting wallpaper affects the login screen. The wallpaper which i set is displayed on the login screen also. I just want the default one for the login screen.
This is a trivial problem, but it annoys me that I can't get to the bottom of it:  I'm running Windows 8, Powershell version 3.0. By right-clicking on the title bar I can go into the Properties and change the font, size, background colour etc without any problems.  After closing and restarting Powershell, all of the changes I've made stick except that if I've set the font to Lucida Console then on reopening I get the Raster font.  (Note that all of the above applies to when I run Powershell as Administrator.)  So:   If I set the font to Lucida, then it switches to Lucida for the remainder of the session. If I set the font to anything other than Lucida, then it stays as that after closing and reopening. If I alter the window sizes or text colours or anything else, the changes persist after reopening. The only thing that goes wrong is that if I set the font to Lucida, it switches to 'Raster fonts' when I reopen. But cmd and powershell ISE don't have this problem - only the powershell console.   Can anyone suggest what might be going wrong?  (One observation I've made is that upon re-opening Powershell after setting the font to Lucida, at first the width of the window is what it would be if the font were Lucida, but then after a second, it widens slightly to accommodate the raster font.) If $A=AB-BA$, is $A$ nilpotent? Let matrix $A_{n\times n}$, be such that there exists a matrix $B$ for which $$AB-BA=A$$  Prove or disprove that there exists $m\in \mathbb N^{+}$such  $$A^m=0,$$  I know $$tr(A)=tr(AB)-tr(BA)=0$$ then I can't.Thank you Is there a reason why people can't just take the helicopter to mount Everest? Why is it that helicopters can't reach that high? Using simple quotes "" instead of \text{} Is there a way to use newcommand or some other nice technique to transform any occurence of  "bla"   in math mode into  \text{bla}   The reason I ask is because it is easy, and doesn't interrupt the flow of reading the (La)TeX code as much.  I would like to keep Xe(La)TeX's nice quote behavior (ie it can use the regular "" instead of backticks to quote some text outside math mode). Book about mages who can harvest magical energy from the environment What is $1^k+2^k+\cdots+ (p-1)^k$ modulo $p$? (From Ireland and Rosen). I've been working through a bit of Ireland and Rosen's Number Theory for fun. Problem 4.11 of Ireland and Rosen asks     Prove that $1^k+2^k+\cdots+(p-1)^k\equiv 0\pmod{p}$ if $p-1\nmid k$, and $-1\pmod{p}$ if $p-1\mid k$.    My work is leading where I didn't expect to go. Here I assume $p$ id odd. First, if $p-1\mid k$, then we can wrike $k=(p-1)j$ for some $j$. But then $$ 1^k+\cdots+(p-1)^k\equiv 1^{(p-1)j}+\cdots+(p-1)^{(p-1)j}\equiv \underbrace{1+\cdots+1}_{p-1\text{ times}}=\frac{(p-1)p}{2}\equiv 0\pmod{p} $$ since $p-1$ is even.   Secondly, I suppose $p-1\nmid k$. WLOG, I can assume $0&lt;k&lt;p-1$, Since if $k=(p-1)j+r$ with $0&lt;r&lt;p-1$, then  $$ a^k\equiv a^{(p-1)j+r}\equiv a^r\pmod{p}. $$  Then if $g$ is a primitive root, $$ 1^k+\cdots+(p-1)^k=\sum_{i=1}^{p-1}(g^k)^i=\frac{g^k(1-g^{k(p-1)})}{1-g^k}. $$ Since $g$ is primitive, $p\nmid 1-g^k$, but $p\mid 1-g^{k(p-1)}$, so the above sum is again congruent to $0\pmod{p}$.  So in all cases, I get the sum is congruent to $0$ regardless. Have I messed up, or is there a typo? Thanks. How do I set a user environment variable? (permanently, not session) This is irritating me. I seen several suggestions (all using different files and syntax) and none of them worked.  How do I set an environment variable for a specific user? I am on debian squeeze. What is the exact syntax I should put in the file to make ABC = "123"? What word/phrase can I use to describe the activity of hiding a stupid mistake/incident, such as quickly cleaning up tea spilled by accident before anyone could notice? What is the difference between # and . when declaring a set of styles for an element and what are the semantics that come into play when deciding which one to use? How can I achieve more clarity in my photos of the moon? I took this photo of the blood moon this morning and I am finding many of my photos, especially landscape photos, have a significant lack of clarity. I'm not looking for a photo critique because I know this particular photo is crap. I'm looking to identify my source of failure to nail a significantly clear photo.     Setup  Canon EOS 70D with a 100-300 telephoto lens (I'm sorry I don't know the exact model. It's from Canon but not one of their professional quality lenses.)   Aperture: f/5.6 Shutter: 1 sec. ISO: 1000 Focal Length: 300mm Metering mode: Spot White Balance: I manually set the WB to 5500 kelvin, it looked fine in live view. Focus Mode: Manual Drive: 2 sec timer delay   Mounted on a decently stable tripod  Process  I turn on live view, and square up the target in the display. I then set my focal length, focus in using live view, adjust the focus as sharp as possible and take the pic. I've noticed that in this case, the picture was incredibly grainy, which doesn't translate to the final photo, but wonder if it has anything to do with it.  This particular shoot I found it difficult to balance out the variables with a dark sky and a moving moon that starts blurring after 1-2 seconds of exposure, which is why I had the aperture wide open and the ISO cranked up.  I can't tell where I'm failing:  Equipment:  The 70d takes great photos but the telephoto is not great when it's totally zoomed in. My wallet doesn't hold enough cash for a motorized mount to track objects in the sky.  Circumstance: I've seen great photos of the moon with the use of a camera and a tripod, so I know this is possible. Although, I keep seeing pictures of this big gorgeous moon over the landscape, and when I use my wide-angle, the moon shows up as a dot. What the hell are people doing to get the moon so big?  Beginner skill level: I know this is the biggest culprit, but being the beginner, I'm unable to know where to adjust. Remount drive without physically disconnecting? So I have unmounted a usb external hard drive but I went to re-mount it.  Is there a command that I can use to remount the drive?  Only way I know to re-mount a drive is to disconnect the usb cable from my Mac and reconnect it. Can't update because the word prox* is blocked Create line heatmap with QGIS I have loaded my bike tours as .gpx files into QGIS.    It already looks quite nice but I was wondering if it might be possible to create something similar to the strava heatmap with tools of QGIS.     I have tried to generate points along the lines and use kernel density but it just does not look nice as a raster layer.  Any suggestions? Is it possible to use a primitive type (int) in as a generic type in Java? Specifically, with a SortedMap&lt;Vector&lt;String&gt;, int&gt; I get "dimensions expected after this (int) token." Help! So basically as it stands I have a laptop which has no cd/dvd drive, and I don't have a usb drive.  The laptop has windows 7 installed with ubuntu 11.04 installed through wubi.  What I want to do is remove windows completely, and make ubuntu the only OS installed on the system.  Is there a way to do this without re-installing ubuntu? (i.e. can I take my wubi install away from windows?)  or is there a way to from inside ubuntu have it run the ubuntu iso somehow so I can just wipe the system and install it fresh? (even if it means I need to have an e.g. 2gb partition just for the image to reside in). Vote can't be changed if answer is edited too quickly How can I make schematic of this board? I want to make a schematic of this board. Can anyone tell me how? I am trying to teleport a player to certain coordinates once they enter an area.  The idea is that they walk into a really small building, but once they turn a corner, they get teleported into a larger building.   Please refer to the adventure map named '5 Cubed', if you need help understanding what I am asking. Delete specific line number(s) from a text file using sed? Is there a font, available to -all- TeX users, that includes a glyph that can be recognized as the Unicode Replacement Character?  I realize I can use XeTeX with a  (or maybe any character not in the font), but I'm interested in using standard pdfTeX with standard LaTeX 2e and a pure ASCII input file.  The glyph typically looks like a filled black diamond with a white question mark inside it:    If no such font is available, what's the best robust strategy for getting such a glyph into a standard pdfTeX document (one whose input file has no Unicode or non-ASCII UTF-8 byte sequences in it) without using XeTeX or similar?  Inserting TikZ commands?  Raw PostScript?  Right now, for lack of a better solution, I'm using a \textbullet, simply because it's the boldest/blackest glyph I can think of, and it's available in most standard fonts.  Creating a custom font with one glyph in it is not really viable, or if it is it's a strategy of last resort, unless (perhaps) it can be done automatically and on the fly when processing the document each time.
