Hi I am new to Blender (and 3d design), I have seen that some people can do this. I mean that they can create a cube, apply the &quot;Subdivision Surface&quot; modifier to it and be able to modify the object using the vertices that are formed when applying the modifier. On the other hand, if I create a cube, and apply the modifier &quot;Subdivision Surface&quot;, it looks like this  The object still has the shape of the cube and I can only modify it by modifying the surrounding cube. I would need to know how to remove the cube and be able to modify it using the shape of the object. Thanks in advance.
I have an object with two solidify modifiers added, but the modifiers are not visible in the view pane. How can I see the applied modifiers. This is in Blender 2.91
Resetting Ubuntu to factory settings I've had a lot of problems lately and now I'm having problems logging in at the login screen. I'm giving up and just want to reset and start over. How can I "factory reset" Ubuntu, in this situation, or, for future reference, in general? I'm concerned about an app on my child's phone. I saw an app icon in the notification area that looked strange (Andy Android head, slightly tilted as its icon).  How can I find out what app it is from just having seen that icon in the notification bar? "Unable to connect to Upstart" error when installing git-all I am using 15.04.   So I'm working with git and I installed the standard version. I set up the ssh keys and was able to clone one of my repositories to the correct folder. Everything was working great and then I decided it was a good idea to install more packages. I ran sudo apt-get install git-all. I'm looking at error codes now having to deal with upstart.  start: Unable to connect to Upstart: Failed to connect to socket /com/ubuntu/upstart: Connection refused No apport report written because the error message indicates its a followup error from a previous failure. dpkg: error processing package runit (--configure):  subprocess installed post-installation script returned error exit status 1 dpkg: dependency problems prevent configuration of git-daemon-run:  git-daemon-run depends on runit; however:   Package runit is not configured yet.  dpkg: error processing package git-daemon-run (--configure):  dependency problems - leaving unconfigured Errors were encountered while processing:  runit  git-daemon-run E: Sub-process /usr/bin/dpkg returned an error code (1)   This is what happens when I even update/upgrade my system. At this point all I'm looking to do is be able to install software and update my current software. Is there any way I can potentially reverse this issue or at least correct it?   Edit: Thankfully this issue was solved only a day or two after it happened. The accepted answer worked perfectly and took care of my issue Definition of the $Q$ factor? According to Wikipedia, the  is defined as:  $$Q=2\pi\frac{\mathrm{energy \, \, stored}}{\mathrm{energy \, \,dissipated \, \, per \, \, cycle}}.$$  Here are my questions:   Does the energy dissipated per cycle assume that the amplitude is constant from one cycle to the next. Is it always calculated at the resonance frequency? If the answer to 2 is yes can you explain why for a forced oscillator system with a damping coefficient of $\gamma$ and natural frequency $\omega_o$ the quality factor is $Q=\omega_o/\gamma$ and not some more complicated expression involving the actual resonant frequency (which is not quite $\omega_o$  and is given by $$\omega_r=(\omega_0^2-\frac{\gamma^2}{2})^{\frac{1}{2}}$$ of the system? Is this just an approximation i.e. are we assuming that it resonates at $\omega_o$ but in fact the actual expression is a big more complicated?   Edit: With using the actual value of $\omega_r$ I get: $Q=(\omega_0^2-\frac{\gamma^2}{2})^{\frac{1}{2}}/\gamma$  is this more correct? What is the fastest way to get money in GTA San Andreas?

So say I'm going to ambush an orc. I successfully sneak up on him and I attack. The DM determines that the orc is surprised. The orc happens to get an initiative roll of 19, while I get a 10. How would this work? I can only think of two reasonable resolutions to this.   The orc, having a higher initiative, goes first. Since he's surprised, he does nothing. Then it's my turn. If the orc survives my attack, it is now his turn, and being that the orc has already gone through his round of surprise, he can now attack me or whatever, and combat proceeds as normal. I, having started the combat, go first. If the orc survives my attack, but he is surprised, so he does nothing. It is now my turn again, I attack again. If the orc survives my second attack, it is now his turn, and being that the orc has already gone through his round of surprise, he can now attack me or whatever, and combat proceeds as normal.   Which one of these is correct? neither? Does starting combat secure me a turn/action at the start of initiative order like in option 2? If option 1 is correct, could I ready an action to shoot the orc, effectively granting me a similar first attack as in option 2?  Sorry if this makes no sense. Found an error in my thesis I've found a error in my thesis recently, after its submission. I made a mistake that wrongly accepted the hypothesis which should be rejected. What should I do?? strptime() equivalent on Windows? Is there a good equivalent implementation of strptime() available for Windows?  Unfortunately, this POSIX function does not appear to be available.   - summary: it converts a text string such as "MM-DD-YYYY HH:MM:SS" into a tm struct, the opposite of strftime(). sudo credential caching on by default Just installed a minimal ubuntu 12.04, then installed xfce4 and xinit from the command line after first boot.  Totally vanilla installation afaik.  I'm noticing that sudo caches the password until I issue sudo -k to clear it.  This is unexpected behavior in my mind.  I've run xfce4 before and don't recall credential caching being on, nor have I experienced it in the many previous ubuntu installs I've had over the years.  Is this a new feature of Ubuntu?  Is this something that's the result of the minimal install?  Is this an xfce default that's been added recently?

Uninstalled the default libreoffice installation. Then I installed libreoffice 5.4.0.3 from this PPA:  sudo add-apt-repository ppa:libreoffice/ppa   Now all icons are missing from toolbars:    Is this a bug or a funk setting? Any thoughts on how to reset the toolbar to get the typical configuration? I already tried the basic stuff (rebooting, disable/enable toolbars, etc.) How can I select first occurrence between two patterns including them. Preferably using sed or awk.  I have:  text something P1 something content1 content2 something P2 something text something P1 something content3 content4 something P2 something text   I want the first occurrence of the lines between P1 and P2 (including P1 line and P2 line):  something P1 something content1 content2 something P2 something Let $f$ be a nonconstant element of ring $\mathbb Z[x]$. Prove that $\langle f \rangle$ is not maximal in $\mathbb Z[x]$.   Let us assume $\langle f \rangle$ is maximal. Then $\mathbb Z[x] / \langle f \rangle$ would be a field. Let $a \in \mathbb{Z}$. Then $a + \langle f \rangle$ is a nonzero element of this field, hence a unit. Let $g + \langle f \rangle$ be its inverse. Then $a g - 1 \in \langle f \rangle$, hence $ag(x)-1 = f(x)h(x)$ for some $h \in Z[x]$, hence $ag(0) + f(0)h(0) = 1$, thus $(a,f(0))=1$ for all $a \in \Bbb Z$, contradiction, hence the proof.  Is my argument correct? Is there any other method? GeoTools CRS.getAxisOrder(CRS.getAxisOrder("EPSG:4326")) returns EAST_NORTH (LON_LAT) All is in the title, with GeoTools if I do :  AxisOrder order = CRS.getAxisOrder(CRS.getAxisOrder("EPSG:4326"));   It returns EAST_NORTH (= LON_LAT), but EPSG:4326 is defined as ordering latitude first and then longitude, as stated here :   So, what is happening here ? Am I doing something wrong ? overset text over equal sign in in an Align environment Transcendental numbers and irrationality measure Approximating commuting matrices by commuting diagonalizable matrices Suppose the matrices $A$ and $B$ commute. Do there exists sequences $A_n$ and $B_n$ of matrices such that   $A_n \rightarrow A$, $B_n \rightarrow B$.  Each $A_n$ is diagonalizable  and the same for each $B_n$.  For every $n$, $A_n$ commutes with $B_n$.    Moreover, it would be nice if the following property was additionally satisfied: if $A,B$ are real, then $A_n,B_n$ can be chosen to be real as well. Vectors and Norms If $a$ and $b$ are vectors such that $\|a\| = 4$, $\|{b}\| = 5$, and $\|{a} + {b}\| = 7$, then find $\|2 {a} - 3 {b}\|$.  I couldn't figure out how to start off this problem. I attempted to use $$\cos \theta = \frac{a\cdot b}{\|a\|\cdot \|b\|}$$ But I still don't know what to do. Could someone nudge me in the right direction?  Thank you!
