I upgraded to 16.04 from 15.10 today.  Now I can no longer perform software updates. Running sudo apt-get update results in the following:  Hit:1 http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu xenial InRelease Get:2 http://security.ubuntu.com/ubuntu xenial-security InRelease [94.5 kB] Hit:3 http://archive.canonical.com/ubuntu xenial InRelease                      Hit:4 http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu xenial-updates InRelease                 Hit:5 http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu xenial-backports InRelease               Fetched 94.5 kB in 1s (83.7 kB/s)     and it just sits there.  I left it like this for 4 hours.  Top shows that after running the command, appstreamcli goes to 100% cpu and stays there.  PID USER      PR  NI    VIRT    RES    SHR S  %CPU %MEM     TIME+ COMMAND                                        6741 root     20   0  120556  37456   9340 R  99.7  0.5   1:22.71 appstreamcli       Looks like I may not be the only one experiencing this...
I tried to install crossover and after downloading the .deb from their website, I followed the steps as indicated when opening it with Ubuntu Software Centre:     On 64-bit flavors of Debian and some Ubuntu variants, first open a   terminal and run sudo dpkg --add-architecture i386 ; sudo apt-get update   Since I have Ubuntu 16.04 LTS 64 bit I perform the command.  But when copying and pasting that command into my terminal, it stopped at Fetched 535kb in 7sec and stalled there for about 20 minutes. I ended up  closing it and tried to run both commands separately but after doing the sudo apt-get update command it also stalls again after "Fetched XXKb in XXsec."  I restarted my computer and decided to run the software updater and it stays stuck at roughly 75% for hours.
In a closed system, I know the rider wouldn't be able to change the combined center of gravity of the system by moving his weight around. If he pushes the bike to lean to the right, he would go to the left by the amount that would keep the combined cog the same.  But a bike with tires and a road under it is not a closed system, the tires wouldn't let the lower part of the bike left or right when tryingo to initiate lean. Does this mean it is possible to push with your bodies inertia to the bike, and the combined cog will be changed? I thing if you do so above the cog of the bike, you could, but I am not sure.  Edit: My question is not about if you can move the center of gravity of the bike at all. My question is about if can you change the combine cog of the system by moving around on the bike?  English is not my mother tongue, sorry for the confusion When I create a UV sphere and add the subdivision surface modifier, the following wrinkle appears.    How can I avoid it?  I've read the article  but there seems to be no clear solution.  UPDATE 1  I've used the word 'apply' in the first sentence of the initial version of this question. It's misleading since I want to preserve the modifier without 'applying' it. Rather, what I meant is 'adding' the modifier.  UPDATE 2  I followed josh sanfelici's solution, but still there is an artifact at the pole.  Here is the screen: (A rendered view with a sun lamp)    Maybe it's the limitation of the general-purpose subdivision modifier.  BTW, when the cast modifier is added after the subdivision modifier, the sphere becomes perfect (even for my original wrinkled sphere).  But since I want to edit the resulting sphere (for example, scaling X, Y, etc) while modifier is added but not applied, it's not usable. Variable wavelength IR Diode? I was thinking of building a DIY IR Spectroscope but for this, I need to find an IR diode that can do variable wavelengths. So far I have looked at Farnell and Mouser but all the diodes I have looked at seem to be fixed on a wavelength.   Is this possible? or would I need some sort of filters and optical equipment, if so which parts would I need?  Thanks. the and thee (I prefer to pronounce it as thuh all the time) My question is can I always pronounce THE with thuh instead of thee? Because unlike "a" "an" rule, pronouncing "thee" seems cumbersome for some people (including me) Note that I know the "emphasis" and "vowel, consonant" rule about THE but I still prefer to pronounce it as thuh everytime. So can I?? How to find all the used IP addresses on a network In my work there is a lot of computer and I want make a joke. I can close computer over the network but finding IP addresses is hard to me.  How can I easily find all online IP adresses from 192.168.1.aa to 192.168.1.zz? How to prevent going to next row after editing a DataGridViewTextBoxColumn and pressing EnterKey? Why doesn't bash expand this variable when I prefix a command with a "one time variable assignment" If I run this bash command and prefix the statement, so that the variable fruit should exist, but only for the duration of this command:  $ fruit=apple echo $fruit  $   The result is an empty line. why?  To quote a comment from wildcard on :     parameter expansion is done by the shell, and the "fruit" variable is   not a shell variable; it's only an environment variable within the   environment of the "echo" command   An environment variable is still a variable, so surely this should still be available to the echo command? still frame camera solve I've found a number of how-tos for solving video but I'm just looking to put an element in a photo and can't seem to find a how-to for that.  Is it possible in blender to do a camera solve with a still image?  Thanks. I read on  that Ubuntu will no longer use the familiar file size units we all know by now (kB, MB, GB, TB) and switch to a different IEC standard (KiB, MiB, GiB, TiB). If this is true, I would like to know what's the reasoning behind this change, and the impact (if any) this change has, especially with multiplatform applications or applications run with Wine. Closed form for $\int_0^\infty\frac{1}{(1+x^2)^s}\,dx$ when $s\in (0.5,\infty)\setminus\mathbb{N}$ I know that the improper integral  $$ \int_0^\infty\frac{1}{(1+x^2)^s}\,dx $$ is convergent for $s&gt;0.5$ and divergent otherwise. Furthermore, it has a closed form for $s \in \mathbb{N}$ (this can be obtained using the Residue Theorem). My question is to know whether it has a closed form for any non-integer $s &gt;0.5$. Ok, so PHP isn't the best language to be dealing with arbitrarily large integers in, considering that it only natively supports 32-bit signed integers. What I'm trying to do though is create a class that could represent an arbitrarily large binary number and be able to perform simple arithmetic operations on two of them (add/subtract/multiply/divide).  My target is dealing with 128-bit integers.  There's a couple of approaches I'm looking at, and problems I see with them. Any input or commentary on what you would choose and how you might go about it would be greatly appreciated.  Approach #1: Create a 128-bit integer class that stores its integer internally as four 32-bit integers. The only problem with this approach is that I'm not sure how to go about handling overflow/underflow issues when manipulating individual chunks of the two operands.  Approach #2: Use the bcmath extension, as this looks like something it was designed to tackle. My only worry in taking this approach is the scale setting of the bcmath extension, because there can't be any rounding errors in my 128-bit integers; they must be precise. I'm also worried about being able to eventually convert the result of the bcmath functions into a binary string (which I'll later need to shove into some mcrypt encryption functions).  Approach #3: Store the numbers as binary strings (probably LSB first). Theoretically I should be able to store integers of any arbitrary size this way. All I would have to do is write the four basic arithmetic functions to perform add/sub/mult/div on two binary strings and produce a binary string result. This is exactly the format I need to hand over to mcrypt as well, so that's an added plus. This is the approach I think has the most promise at the moment, but the one sticking point I've got is that PHP doesn't offer me any way to manipulate the individual bits (that I know of). I believe I'd have to break it up into byte-sized chunks (no pun intended), at which point my questions about handling overflow/underflow from Approach #1 apply. What permissions should a udev rule have for a USB device? 644? 755?  For example on Ubuntu I'm looking at this file: /etc/udev/rules.d/99-lpcscrypt.rules What are the advantages and disadvantages of using ARC? I need to exclude .git from my find search. To achive that, I am using the -path ./.git -prune switch:  $ find . -path ./.git -prune -o \( -type f -o -type l -o -type d \) | grep '.git' ./.git   However, even though this skips the contents of the .git directory, it lists the directory itself. It works when I add -path ./.git -prune -o -print -a  find . -path ./.git -prune -o -print -a \( -type f -o -type l -o -type d \) | grep '.git'   Why is this necessary. I thought that both commands should have same output. The second syntax is quite ugly. Can someone explain how Kat experienced this part of Tenet from her perspective? Weather Resistant Outlets vs Weather Proof Box How does Linux handle multiple consecutive path separators (/home////username///file)? I'm working on a python script that passes file locations to an scp subprocess. That's all fine, but I'm in a situation where I may end up concatenating a path with a filename such that there's a double '/ in the path. I know that bash doesn't care if you have multiple file separators, but I'm wondering how exactly that is rectified. Is it bash that strips extra /s or does it really not matter ever?  I ask because it will save me several lines of code to check for extra /s while concatenating. I know it's not a big deal, but I'm curious as well. I have a bash script that has the line cd //usr (instead of cd /usr), which seems to imply there might be a significance to using multiple /s in a path How to mass rename files with ill-formed numbering? Countable sets have the same cardinality as the natural numbers (or a subset of the natural numbers, depending on who you ask).  Can one make the same claim about uncountable sets and real numbers?  In other words, do all uncountable sets have same cardinality as real numbers? Short story about a robot who wants to become a writer
