So, I have a HP pavilion 15 notebook. I have dual boot it with factory installed windows 8.1 and ubuntu 14.04. It is working well. But sometimes, it stops responding. Screen freezes as it is and caps lock starts blinking. Then it don't respond again.I have to restart the laptop manually by power button to access again. What is the reason for this? What is its solution?  This never happened in windows? And Its HDD haven't any errors...
I noticed a peculiar behavior of my Ubuntu 13.04 (although possibly it's also present in previous versions): when my system freezes completely (I do not ask for troubleshooting this) so that even X does not respond to Ctrl+Alt+FX keys, the CapsLock toggle diode on my keyboard blinks (with frequency of ~1Hz), although the system is completely unresponsive.   What is the cause of this phenomena? Is it caused by some internal kernel mechanisms? Is this specific to Ubuntu (is it caused some custom Ubuntu additional software)? Does it has anything to do with HAL? What is the purpose of it? Can I customize this behavior on Ubuntu?
Is it possible to restart the unity panel without restarting compiz? I'm being hit (quite often) by that bug where you can't click on some indicators. It's easy to fix by restarting unity, but that usually also means running to the risk of upsetting some window on re-parenting (rare, but I'd rather avoid any such problems).  So, I know there is `unity-panel-service', and I'm guessing this might have something to do with the solution?  Is it possible to restart the unity panel (or the entire unity plugin) without restarting compiz itself? How do I deal with a bored or distracted player bringing down the group? My group have been playing various D&amp;D style games for a few years,  I have one player however that often will drift off and start playing on his phone  and several times has actually fallen asleep (with his character having to be "nudged" along by his fellow players).  He insists he's "just tired" and "isn't bored" — and besides, he keeps insisting we all get together for D&amp;D and wants to play.  Unfortunately we're all pretty busy, so if I'm to get the group together at all it's usually late on a Sunday. After talking to the player he insists it's not the game, or the story, he just happens to be tired. But, it's the same excuse every week, and the odd times we've played at different times or situations, the falling asleep has happened.  How do I cope with:   The morale destroying (for me) idea of your players falling asleep through a campaign and story you've put lots of work into. The general tone of the room when this player loses interest. (Occasionally a couple of others zone out into Facebook when they're not "active" because the players have split up / gone unconscious).   Given that it's an "all or nothing" situation with the group (there are only 3 players and they won't play unless all 3 are around), how do I best deal with it? I would like to know what is the preferred way to indicate that I took a degree in some subject while also naming the place where I obtained the degree from:   I got my master's degree from the University of Somewhere; I got my master's degree in the University of Somewhere; I took my master's degree in the University of Somewhere.   I would say that "in" is more suitable to mention the particular subject (a degree in maths, for instance) than to indicate the place, but I still have doubts.  By the way, is it a "master's degree" or a "Master's degree"? How to implement a follow author (or user) function? Is it possible to implement a Follow button for authors of posts in Drupal 7, so that users can:   Follow any one they wish, and Be notified about the new posts of those authors.   This sounds like 'Mashable Follow button' for authors.  Do you have any suggestions about how to implement this? Recently, I accidentally deleted a partition off of my external hard disk. I had a copy of Minitool Power Data Recovery left over when the same drive had become RAW about a year ago. When I selected lost partition recovery, it immediately identified my deleted partition and allowed me to access and recover the files that were there.  My question is this. Is there any way to change the deleted partition back to NTFS without having to have a drive that you need to recover the files to and then move them back after formatting, as I don’t have any space left on either the computer or on my other external hard drive, so that I don’t need to buy a new one. The files on the disk were really important.  I am using Windows 7 Home Premium.  I appreciate any help in solving this crisis. Flag Question Link After 3k Rep I noticed from a question about flagging vs closing (forgive me, I cannot find the link, please post it if you know it), that flags are CONVERTED into close votes for questions automatically. Can somebody confirm this?  If confirmed, I was wondering why the link (again, for questions only) is simply not removed to avoid confusion? Can mobs go through doors? I was wondering if mobs can go through doors or not. It's the difference between me just putting up a door to my house, or putting up dirt instead. apt: how to be sure that a specific package gets installed/updated from specific repository and not from the default one?

I'm trying to remove a specific, named, item if it is dropped on the floor. I have the following on my command block:  kill @e[type=Item] {Item:{tag:{display:{Name:"RedFlag"}}}   But it's removing all items, not just the one I want. What am I doing wrong?  I also tried  kill @e[type=Item] {Item:{id:"red_flower",Damage:2}}   But that didn't work either, it's still removing all items, even things that aren't red flowers!

What is the best way of defining white noise process so it is intuitive and easy to understand? I’ve recently purchased a new Mac Mini, and I’ve been importing my old pictures into the Photos app.  I want to have these photos backed up to iCloud, along with the photos currently on my iPad. I then want everything synced to my Mac Mini, but not to my iPad, which has limited storage capacity.  Is it possible to have the Mac Mini and iPad set up to backup to iCloud, but only download backed-up photos to the desktop? $ versus jQuery I have a COM dll written in vb6. When I try to create a new object of a class module from this dll I get a Run timer error 430: Class does not support automation or does not support expected interface. The interesting thing is that this happens only from outside the IDE, when I am debugging from within the IDE there is no error thrown and the new object of the class is created successfully. What can be the cause?  In general I occasionally get these kind of errors in COM dlls. What is the best way to debug COM issues? How can I know the path of the dll that is being used when a program is running? I know there is something wrong with this but I don't know where. It's some kind of a math fallacy and it is driving me crazy. Here it is: $$-1= (-1)^3 = (-1)^{6/2} = \sqrt{(-1)^6}= 1?$$
