Good morning to all. I cannot make my system boot. I went into recovery mode and I always get the same message:  The system is running in low graphics mode. Your screen graphics card and input device settings could not be detected correctly. You need to configure these yourself.  I press enter. Next message: What you like to do?  1. Run in low graphics for just one session     2. Reconfigure graphics 3. Troubleshoot the error 4. Exit to console login  I choose option one Next screen Stand by for one minute while the display restarts  I wait two or three or more minutes nothing happens. If I press ok, Ubuntu 12.04.4 LTS asks me to login. I put my password (the one I use for installing apps) and then it asks me for password,but I do not have a second password 😊 If I put the same or nothing out says login incorrect. And I am stuck. In addition I ran memory test start up test hard disc test everything is ok
Note: This is an attempt to create a canonical question that covers all instances of &quot;low-graphics mode&quot; error that occurs to a user, including but not limited to installation of wrong drivers, incorrect or invalid lightdm greeters, low disk space, incorrect installation of graphics card like ATI and Nvidia, incorrect configuration of xorg.conf file while setting up multiple monitors among others. If you are experiencing the &quot;low-graphics mode&quot; error when trying to login but none of the following answers work for you, please do ask a new question and then update the answers of this canonical question as and when your new question gets answered.   When I try to boot into my computer, I am getting this error:  The system is running in low-graphics mode Your screen, graphics cards, and input device settings could not be detected correctly. You will need to configure these yourself.   How do I fix the failsafe X mode and login into my computer?  Answer index:
A scene I made is not rendering, at all. This grey screen stays the same and nothing changes.  Here are my settings:  [ How can I move the top panel to the bottom in Gnome 3? Is there a way to move the top panel to the bottom in Gnome 3? It is very annoying to have this panel at the top, because then I have to aim for the close button when I want to close a window. When the panel is at the bottom, I can simply throw the mouse pointer to the corner. Big usability issue. In C the following horror is valid:  myFunc() {   return 42;  // return type defaults to int. }   But, what about in C++? I can't find a reference to it either way...  My compiler (Codegear C++Builder 2007) currently accepts it without warning, but I've had comments that this is an error in C++. I recently purchased a MacBook Pro 13&quot; with the M1 chip and transferred all my data over using a Time Machine backup. Homebrew packages are currently installed in /usr/local/opt/ but it is my understanding that they should be under /opt/homebrew for Apple Silicon Macs. How can I:  Get the list of packages I currently have installed Remove those from /user/local/opt Reinstall them under /opt/homebrew  I kind of assumed Homebrew would be clever enough to do this automatically but apparently it needs some manual maintenance. Here's my Homebrew config if it helps: HOMEBREW_VERSION: 2.7.2 ORIGIN: https://github.com/Homebrew/brew HEAD: dad7dc6a1498b80770d98f2d7cd6fb927c300bbb Last commit: 3 days ago Core tap ORIGIN: https://github.com/Homebrew/homebrew-core Core tap HEAD: 2b1d79d038bffdbfcee93283051d48919a4caf3d Core tap last commit: 16 hours ago Core tap branch: master HOMEBREW_PREFIX: /usr/local HOMEBREW_REPOSITORY: /usr/local/Homebrew HOMEBREW_CELLAR: /usr/local/Cellar HOMEBREW_CASK_OPTS: [] HOMEBREW_MAKE_JOBS: 8 Homebrew Ruby: 2.6.3 =&gt; /System/Library/Frameworks/Ruby.framework/Versions/2.6/usr/bin/ruby CPU: octa-core 64-bit arm_firestorm_icestorm Clang: 12.0 build 1200 Git: 2.30.0 =&gt; /usr/local/bin/git Curl: 7.64.1 =&gt; /usr/bin/curl macOS: 11.1-arm64 CLT: 12.3.0.0.1.1607026830 Xcode: N/A Rosetta 2: false  Thanks in advance!

What is the problem here? Do I have to add more C++ flags? Suppose there are $2$ permutations given by $p$ and $q$. I need to check whether $p$ belongs to the group generated by $q$, and if so, it's representation in a power of $q$. In other words, I've been given $p$ and $q$, I need to check whether $\exists i \in \{ 0,...,|q|-1 \} \text{ such that } p = q^i$ I know that if $m = \gcd(i, |q|)$, then $|q^i| = \frac{|q|}{m}$. Now, say that such an $i$ exists. Then, $$ |p| = \frac{|q|}{\gcd(i, |q|)} \Rightarrow \gcd(i, |q|) = \frac{|q|}{|p|} $$ Thus, a necessary condition for such an $i$ to exist is: $|p|$ divides $|q|$ Say that this holds, and $\frac{|q|}{|p|} = r$, where r is an integer. Then we just have to solve $\gcd(i, |q|) = r$ for $ i \in \{ 0,...,|q|-1 \}$. Can this be done? If not manually, then by some efficient algorithm? (Note: Just looping over all values of $i$ is not efficient as $i$ may be very large) Edit: Another way I can think of solving this is by writing both $p$ and $q$ as product of disjoint cycles: $$ p = c_1c_2\ldots c_k \text{ and } q = d_1d_2\ldots d_l $$ And thus, as disjoint cycles commute: $$ p^i = c_1^ic_2^i\ldots c_k^i $$ How to proceed after this? How to know the motherboard BIOS version using the command line How can get the BIOS version of my motherboard?

I tried dmidecode command before asking and I didn't find what I needed - I want only the BIOS version and nothing else in the output. How do I install Citrix receiver?

Determining likely relationship based upon autosomal DNA shared cM I'm doing some architectural cleanup that involves moving a bunch of classes into different projects and/or namespaces. Currently I'm moving the files by hand, building, and then manually adding using Foo statements as needed to resolve compilation errors. Anyone know of a smarter way of doing this?

Nonabelian semidirect products of order $pq$? Whenever I try to cut out a circular hole in either a cylinder or sphere the polygons around the circular hole always have distorted normals after smoothing. Is there anyway to fix this.

Windows 8 OEM Reinstalling I know this question is a repetition but I didn't find any solution of my problem from any of the previous questions. Recently I formatted my Laptop HDD and now I want to re install windows 8 I've a Windows 8 OEM license but the problem is I don't have a disc , I downloaded en_windows_8_x64_dvd_915440 from msdn , but when I boot the windows it shows the error that the current version is not suitable with my serial key, so where I can find an OEM Windows 8 and also I've a retail windows 8 disc so if I install that windows 8 in my pc and is there any way to activate it using my OEM key What is the meaning of speed of light $c$ in $E=mc^2$? is the famous mass-energy equation of Albert Einstein. I know that it tells that mass can be converted to energy and vice versa. I know that $E$ is energy, $m$ is mass of a matter and $c$ is speed of light in vacuum.   What I didn't understood is how we will introduce speed of light?  Atom bomb is made using this principle which converts mass into energy; in that the mass is provided by uranium but where did speed of light comes into play? How can speed of light can be introduced in atom bomb? Is the concept of even/odd numbers applicable to decimal numbers? For e.g. - 4.222 is a even number? Can I put a rack on a carbon road bike? I got a carbon-framed  recently but I also want to use it for commuting to and from work and I want a place to put my lock and other stuff on the bike. Is it possible to have a rack on this kinda bike.
