Occasionally, when I'm installing stuff, I get an error like the following:  Some packages could not be installed. This may mean that you have requested an impossible situation or if you are using the unstable distribution that some required packages have not yet been created or been moved out of Incoming. The following information may help to resolve the situation:  The following packages have unmet dependencies:  package1 : Depends: package2 (&gt;= 1.8) but 1.7.5-1ubuntu1 is to be installed E: Unable to correct problems, you have held broken packages.   How can I resolve this?
Confidence interval around binomial estimate of 0 or 1 What is the best technique to calculate a confidence interval of a binomial experiment, if your estimate is that $p=0$ (or similarly $p=1$) and sample size is relatively small, for example $n=25$? Monitor cell value and copy it to another cell I have a dataset that has both continuous and categorical data. I am analyzing by using PCA and am wondering if it is fine to include the categorical variables as a part of the analysis. My understanding is that PCA can only be applied to continuous variables. Is that correct? If it cannot be used for categorical data, what alternatives exist for their analysis? Closing as "off topic" has just gotten painful I know that useability and friendliness are given priority in the features implemented on StackExchange, but after using the new close-as-off-topic flow for the first time I would have to say I'm somewhat underwhelmed.  Why do we not have a simple It's off topic type reason? And why do I have to write half a book chapter as my custom close reason, especially when I can go back and edit the automatically posted comment so that it's way shorter?   This question complaint is prompted by  here on Meta. It's off topic, plain and simple. We now have a bunch of people wanting to close it, all potentially writing their own custom close reasons, it's just messy suboptimal. Regardless of how nice and friendly you want to be to the user, this particular question shouldn't need an explanation.    Does the off topic flow have to stay this way? Can we allow higher rep users to close as off topic without having to specify a (really long) custom reason, maybe have some canned reasons like we used to?  Edit: just to be clear, there are still three canned close reasons, but none of them were applicable to this example. The second one is closest, but does not appear to seek input... is quite different to It's a question, but doesn't belong here in any way, shape, or form. How to completely uninstall and remove QGIS 2.8.1 on Windows Vista? I want to uninstall and completely remove QGIS installation from my computer(windows vista). I have uninstalled it and when i try to reinstall it says it is already installed on the system. Pointwise convergent and total variation I'm preparing for a test for real analysis and I came across this problem in Royden's book:  Let $\{f_n\}$ be a sequence of real valued functions on $[a,b]$ that converges pointwisely on $[a,b]$ to the real valued function $f$. Show that $TV(f) \leq \liminf  ~TV(f_n)?$  This looks quite similar in form to Fatou's Lemma to me, but can't find any way to establish TV with integration, can anybody please help?  (TV is short for total variation) Show that $U_n:=\left(1+\dfrac{1}{n}\right)^n$, $n\in\Bbb N$, defines a monotonically increasing sequence.   I must show that $U_{n+1}-U_n\geq0$, i.e. $$\left(1+\dfrac{1}{n+1}\right)^{n+1}-\left(1+\dfrac{1}{n}\right)^n\geq0.$$  I am trying to go ahead of this step. SQL Server Stored Procedure Update not working with ASP.Net C# GridView RowUpdating Limit of $\frac{\log(n!)}{n\log(n)}$ as $n\to\infty$. I have fish density data that I am trying to compare between several different collection techniques, the data has lots of zeros, and the histogram looks vaugley appropriate for a poisson distribution except that, as densities, it is not integer data. I am relatively new to GLMs and have spent the last several days looking online for how to tell which distribution to use but have failed utterly in finding any resources that help make this decision. A sample histogram of the data looks like the following:   I have no idea how to go about deciding on the appropriate family to use for the GLM. If anyone has any advice or could give me a resource I should check out, that would be fantastic. Derivation of the formula for Ordinary Least Squares Linear Regression Discontinuous derivative. Could someone give an example of a ‘very’ discontinuous derivative? I myself can only come up with examples where the derivative is discontinuous at only one point. I am assuming the function is real-valued and defined on a bounded interval. Execute bash script from URL How to ensure all data has been physically written to disk? I understand that .NET FileStream's Flush method only writes the current buffer to disk, but dependent on Windows' disk driver and the hard disk firmware this is no guarantee that the data is actually physically written to disk.  Is there a .NET or Win32 method that can give me this guarantee? So if there is power loss one nanosecond after the call to this method comes back, I can still be sure that everything is OK? I'be been running 18.04 since a clean SSD install on the day of it's official release, without issues. Power on to login was seconds (max 10)  Then, I did a regular upgrade this morning:  $ sudo apt update &amp;&amp; sudo apt dist-upgrade   The packages installed/upgraded were:  Install: linux-headers-4.15.0-24:amd64 (4.15.0-24.26, automatic), linux-headers-4.15.0-24-generic:amd64 (4.15.0-24.26, automatic), linux-modules-extra-4.15.0-24-generic:amd64 (4.15.0-24.26, automatic), linux-modules-4.15.0-24-generic:amd64 (4.15.0-24.26, automatic), linux-image-4.15.0-24-generic:amd64 (4.15.0-24.26, automatic) Upgrade: gnome-control-center-data:amd64 (1:3.28.1-0ubuntu1.18.04.1, 1:3.28.1-0ubuntu1.18.04.2), linux-headers-generic:amd64 (4.15.0.23.25, 4.15.0.24.26), gnome-control-center:amd64 (1:3.28.1-0ubuntu1.18.04.1, 1:3.28.1-0ubuntu1.18.04.2), linux-image-generic:amd64 (4.15.0.23.25, 4.15.0.24.26), linux-signed-generic:amd64 (4.15.0.23.25, 4.15.0.24.26), gnome-control-center-faces:amd64 (1:3.28.1-0ubuntu1.18.04.1, 1:3.28.1-0ubuntu1.18.04.2), linux-generic:amd64 (4.15.0.23.25, 4.15.0.24.26)   I rebooted once the upgrade had completed, and noted a 2-3 minute delay on the Ubuntu loading/splash screen (prior to login) (without any progress/activity indicated on the dots).  I powered off and tried to boot again, but am getting this delay consistently now. Also close down is much slower too.  Update #1 (2018-07-03): Analysis on systemd:  $ sudo systemd-analyze blame 3min 53.073s plymouth-quit-wait.service     2min 20.699s snapd.seeded.service          49.949s snapd.service           6.186s NetworkManager-wait-online.service           1.148s dev-sda2.device           1.098s plymouth-start.service   Showing that plymouth-quit-wait.service (which I now believe is related to the Ubuntu loading/splash screen) and snapd.seeded.service were by far the longest running services to initiate. So I compared the times before the dist-upgrade and after:  $ journalctl -u plymouth-quit-wait.service --since today -- Logs begin at Fri 2018-04-27 13:01:30 BST, end at Tue 2018-07-03 12:38:05 BST. -- Jul 03 04:15:43 user-laptop systemd[1]: Starting Hold until boot process finishes up...

Jul 03 04:24:52 user-laptop systemd[1]: Started Hold until boot process finishes up.   Before the upgrade plymouth-quit-wait.service took 3 seconds. After the upgrade it took 3 minutes 35 seconds  $ journalctl -u snapd.seeded.service --since today -- Logs begin at Fri 2018-04-27 13:01:30 BST, end at Tue 2018-07-03 12:42:14 BST. -- Jul 03 04:15:43 user-laptop systemd[1]: Starting Wait until snapd is fully seeded... Jul 03 04:15:43 user-laptop systemd[1]: Started Wait until snapd is fully seeded. -- Reboot -- Jul 03 04:22:47 user-laptop systemd[1]: Starting Wait until snapd is fully seeded... Jul 03 04:24:49 user-laptop systemd[1]: Started Wait until snapd is fully seeded.   Before the upgrade snapd.seeded.service took 0 seconds. After the upgrade it took 2 minutes 2 seconds.  Update #2 (2018-07-06): This morning's boot saw the return of the delay. So I guess we're still waiting for the kernel/plymouth/snapd update.  Update #3 (2018-07-12): The problem seems to be resolved, but I didn't see any update to snap or plymouth, and I'm still running 4.15.0-24 kernel. So I'm not sure which package update fixed the problem, or if it just resolved itself somehow. Reading the bug updates on launchpad it's unclear to me what was done (or is being done) to what package/s. If anyone can clarify that would be very useful. Ubuntu 18.04 can't resume after hibernate Hibernate worked correctly when I had been using Ubuntu 17.04. After upgrade to 17.10 I couldn't resume because of black screen after resume ().   After upgrade to 18.04 if I try to start my computer after hibernation it boots as if there was no hibernation done. How to find basis of intersection of 2 vector spaces with given basis? Suppose we have vector spaces $\mathbb W$ and $\mathbb V$.  A given basis for $\mathbb W$ is $\{(1, 1, 0, -1), (0, 1, 3, 1)\}$, and a given basis for $\mathbb V$ is $\{(1, 2, 2, -2), (0, 1, 2, -1)\}$.  How to find a basis for $\mathbb W\cap\mathbb V$? How to present a vertical multiplication/addition How do I present vertical (columnar) multiplication and addition in LaTeX. Like this:       3 8 4 x     5 6 ---------   2 3 0 4 1 9 2 0 --------- 2 1 5 0 4   I used the "array" environment. But i have right align problem. Any other best ideas? I would like to close some view windows that I opened accidentally.  See the image below:    Edit: another note: I tried searching for the solution, but only found things like "Join Area", which don't seem to work in this situation. How can I install Minecraft? I have tried many tutorials but none of them are clear enough. I have also tried installing it using Wine but it won't update and Wine goes gray and stops working.  Does anybody know an easy way to install Minecraft though the Java file without using Wine?
