I can't update my system because it freezes while installing a third-party update (zramswap-enabler)! Sometimes I get the following message in Update manager:  Could not initialize the package information An unresolvable problem occurred while initializing the package information. Please report this bug against the 'update-manager' package and include the following error message: E:The package zramswap-enabler needs to be reinstalled, but I can't find an archive for it.  I tried to remove the zramswap-enabler, but it's impossible because I get the following message: dpkg: error processing zramswap-enabler (--remove):  Package is in a very bad inconsistent state - you should  reinstall it before attempting a removal. Errors were encountered while processing:  zramswap-enabler E: Sub-process /usr/bin/dpkg returned an error code (1)  Actually I would really reinstall that package, but it is unable to do it! If I remove this third-party PPA then the system is warning me about a very very serious problem. So why can I not install/reinstall/remove/update this package and why freezes the updater if I try to update?
Layers with same coordinates not lining up I miss those pins I make in Windows.     How can I do the same in Ubuntu 17.10 with GNOME 3? any latex code I want to view in TexWorks 0.4.5 r.1280 (Miktex 2.9) won't show the syntax highlighting. It compiles just fine but everything line is written in black. On very long documents the highlighting shows for several seconds then the program freezes for short and the highlighting disappears again. Windows compatibility modes did not improve the situation. Does anyone have an idea what's going wrong here? Title is removed/cleared/erased when starting editing Is the usage of text embedded in an image a bad practice, for very controlled uses? What are your thoughts on writing your text in images?  I'm not saying throughout the whole website... But in certain key locations like image carousels. And I'm not talking about the special cases where you have font types that browsers can't render. I'm talking about text that uses standard fonts and is not too big (3/4 bullets).  Should I embed the text in the images that compose the carousel? Or should I apply the text to the images as "real text" HTML?  What are the advantages/ disadvantages of using text in an image? How to disable Windows 10 memory compression? my former wrong assumption: it drains my notebook battery and I've no shortage of RAM. In Task manager you see ntoskrnl.exe is eating more CPU time than any other process. this feature does not appear to be optional and came 2 days ago with the 1st Win10 Update (Win10Pro in my case).  Edit:  I want to disable it, at least to exclude it as a culprit for my (unproven) assumptions. That process never came to my attention in the last 2 months and in task manager's long name it's called "system memory and compressed memory". What does it mean for a QFT to not be well-defined? It is usually said that QED, for instance, is not a well-defined QFT. It has to be embedded or completed in order to make it consistent. Most of these arguments amount to using the renormalization group to extrapolate the coupling up to a huge scale, where it formally becomes infinite.  First of all, it seems bizarre to me to use the renormalization group to increase resolution (go to higher energies). The smearing in the RG procedure is irreversible, and the RG doesn't know about the non-universal parts of the theory which should be important at higher energies.   I have read in a note by Weinberg that Kallen was able to show that QED was sick using the spectral representation of the propagator. Essentially, he evaluated a small part of the spectral density and showed that it violated the inequalities for the field strength $Z$ that are imposed by unitarity + Lorentz invariance, but I do not have the reference.  So what I would like to know is :   What does it take to actually establish that a QFT is not well-defined?   In other words, if I write down some arbitrary Lagrangian, what test should I do to determine if the theory actually exists. Are asymptotically free theories the only well-defined ones?   My initial thought was: We would like to obtain QED (or some other ill-defined theory) using the RG on a deformation of some UV CFT. Perhaps there is no CFT with the correct operator content so that we obtain QED from the RG flow. However, I don't really know how to make that precise.   Any help is appreciated. I have two exchange accounts on my iPhone 4. One that connects to my gmail, the other connects to my work's Lotus Notes. There are no overlapping contacts in the two accounts. There are also no contacts saved locally on my phone.   When I enable contacts in both accounts, I get two identical entries for each of the contacts in my gmail. If I disable the Notes exchange account, then there are no more duplicates. If I have Notes contacts enabled, and gmail contacts disabled then I have no contacts at all.  Does anyone know what is going on? Is this a problem with having multiple exchange accounts or is it a Lotus Traveler problem? (I tend to blame Notes for all the trouble in the world, but that is just my bias)  Thanks all. What counts as a "visual illusion" for a character that has Truesight? Creatures with Truesight, have a number of benefits, one of which is that they     automatically detect visual illusions and succeed on saving throws   against them   How do you determine if a spell creates a visual illusion? Is it as simple as "If the illusion creates something that the target can see, it's visual" or is there a more specific rule?  For some context, this came up into play in our last session where a Wizard PC cast Mental Prison on an enemy with Truesight an we weren't exactly sure how to rule it at the time and decided to research it after the session was over. Unable to mount Windows (NTFS) filesystem due to hibernation Whenever I boot Ubuntu, I get a message that it cannot mount my windows partition, and I can choose to either wait, skip or manually mount.  When I try to enter my Windows partition through Nautilus I get a message saying that this partition is hibernated and that I need to enter the file system and properly close it, something I have done with no problem so I don't know why this happens.    Here's my partition table, if any more data is needed please let me know.

It's now impossible to escape , and it seems to have disabled the popout unity launcher as well. Steps I've already taken:   Alt-Tab to move to a different program, then back - QGIS remains in fullscreen Alt-V, Ctrl-F and F11 get no response I've unistalled QGIS, deleted the /.qgis/ profile data folder, and reinstalled. Still launches fullscreen   To add to the weirdness, it now launches - still in fullscreen - into a different workspace than the active one.  I realize this has the sound of a Unity problem, but it's just this program that has a malfunctioning UI.  Thanks to all the crew; this in no way changes my opinion of QGIS as an essential tool. I encountered a problem today to prove that $(X_n)$ with $X_n = \cos(n!)$ does not have a limit (when $n$ approaches infinity). I have no idea how to do it formally. Could someone help? The simpler the proof (by that I mean less complex theorems are used) the better. Thanks How can I make an object follow a path exactly How can I programmatically create a new cron job? I want to be able to programatically add a new cron job, what is the best way to do this?  From , it seems I could dump the current crontab and then append a new one, piping that back into crontab:  (crontab -l ; echo "0 * * * * wget -O - -q http://www.example.com/cron.php") | crontab -   Is there a better way? This is what I saw when my plane was taxing to the runway at CDG:     Airplane mode was on and all other transmissions (except Location), including WiFi, mobile data, NFC and Bluetooth were off.  Location was not manually turned on by me, after I enabled Airplane Mode. It remained turned on.  What am I missing? Is GPS now so widely accepted on-board planes that Android changed its configuration to let this kind of signal/communication to pass through Airplane mode "block"?  I believe that  isn't a duplicate, because at that time (2016) Location was generally "included" in Airplane mode and was turned off by enabling it. centered logo ok? I'm designing a website for a rather unknown software company. The company likes the design but cannnot get along with our desicion to center their logo on the top of their page, although all the other elements are centered. Therefore a left aligned logo wouldn't look good. I know, it seems all UX studies prove them right, but positioning the logo in the center isn't a unpopular practice anymore.   Furthermore I think the way we read a website has adapted the last 10 years. Are there any studies about this topic that could help prove my point?  Thanks convexity proof of a function including ln and sums What are the “spam” and “rude or abusive” (offensive) flags, and how do they work? When flagging, there are two special case options: spam and rude or abusive.   What is spam, and when should I flag content as such? What is considered offensive, rude or abusive content? How does the spam flag differ from the rude or abusive flag? What is the effect of these special flags? When are these flags removed? Would real Moody have taught 4th year students about Unforgiveable curses? Would real Moody have taught 4th year students about Unforgiveable curses the way fake Barty Crouch Moody did?  In other words, did Barty teach about them (leaving aside his hands-on teaching approach) just to satisfy his Death Eater wishes, or did he teach them as part of his cover as Moody impersonator because Moody would have taught about them?
