I tried to download Ubuntu 12.04 through Windows Installer (Wubi), but I get this error message:     An error occurred: Could not retrieve the required disk image For more information, please see the log file: c:\user(username)\adddata\local\temp\wubi-12.04-rev266.log   I tried to locate the file, but I can't find it, it's probably hidden. I know there's already a similar question asked, but I don't understand proxy thing     Downloading error "Could not retrieve the required disk image "   I was wondering will I get this same problem if I download via USB stick or CD?  I'm running Windows 7 on a laptop. I'm not tech-savvy, so I need clear answer please.
I tried to install Ubuntu 12.10 with the Wubi installer while running Windows, because my PC does not accept my BootCD as a bootable medium.  But Wubi showed me this error:  Ubuntu-Installationsprogramm (X) Ein Fehler ist aufgetreten: Could not retrieve the required disk image files Weiter Informationen finden Sie in der Protokolldatei: c:\users\username\appdata\local\temp\wubi-12.10-rev273.log   What can I do, because I want to get rid of my Windows 7 and use the way better Ubuntu 12.10?  Thanks for your huge answer, now my next problem after trying to install wubi with the .iso is, that the same error shows up again and i am not shure which part of the errorreport you need.  Can you tell me? Because i'm not that good at linux.
Parental controls with different settings for different users Does anyone know of a good way to set up some sort of parental controls so that one user account is subject to them, but not another?  A couple of friends of mine use Ubuntu and have kids (7 to 10 years old) who use the family computer. They'd like to have some blocking of adult sites. They're not going to supervise all the time, which I know might be ideal, but there we go. And they're not particularly technical, so they don't want to have to run scripts to turn the parental controls on and off regularly, but they can cope with having different accounts for different people. I haven't found a great way of doing this. I am pretty technical, so I'm happy to spend some time at the command line to set it up, but then it needs to just work.  Please don't just link to DansGuardian. If your answer doesn't address the different user account aspect, I will vote it down. If you want to talk about general parental controls that apply to all users then please start a new question - I'm sure that plenty of people would be interested in it, and I'll link to it from this question. Whenever I install vsftpd on centos, I only setup the jail environment for the users and rest is default configuration of vsftpd. I create user and try to connect with filezila ftp client, but I could not connect with passive mode. I always change the transfer settings to active mode to successfully connect to the ftp server otherwise I get        Error: Failed to retrieve directory listing   So is there a way to change any directive in vsftp.conf file and we can connect with passive mode to the server? Prove that if $a+b+c$ divides $abc$, then $a+b+c$ must be composite. Incredible frequency of careless mistakes Why is CBS.log file size 20 GB How does Salesforce SSO call just-in-time handler methods Layover in Europe to the US - allowed? Many people have asked questions on this site regarding the rules for layovers, with no definitive answers. The rules are constantly in flux and it is very difficult to get a clear answer from government websites. I would like to buy a plane ticket for my mother-in-law (who has a visa) from Ukraine to the US. Most available flights have at least one layover in Europe. My understanding is that EU countries (minus some special cases and US citizens) are currently banned from travel to the US. If we buy a ticket with a layover in, say, Switzerland, can there be a problem? Is this allowed under current rules? Topology: Example of a compact set but its closure not compact Can anyone gives me an example of a compact subset such that its closure is not compact please? Thank you. USB is a popular standard and I was wondering whether there is some way to connect two or more computers using USB ports rather than the Ethernet ports. How can I tell whether beetroot is still edible? I have some raw beetroot I bought about a week ago, having stored them at room temperature since. It's the first time I bought it raw, and I'm unsure whether it's still edible.   It is already soft, and when I cut it, it smells... Well, different than I expected. It's not a rotten smell as such, but it's nothing like the sweet beet-rooty smell I know from the pre-packaged, pre-boiled supermarket variety.  How can I tell whether it's still safe to eat? TypeError: Element-wise multiplication: not supported between 'Matrix' and 'Vector' Is there a reason why we gain ghost reputation on the meta of an SE website?

Is this supposed to make any sense? Modelling the number of apples an orchard yields with diminishing returns per tree This is   in the University of Washington's precal book.  Sylvia has an apple orchard. One season, her 100 trees yielded 140 apples per tree. She wants to increase her production by adding more trees to the orchard. However, she knows that for every 10 additional trees she plants, she will lose 4 apples per tree (i.e., the yield per tree will decrease by 4 apples). How many trees should she have in the orchard to maximize her production of apples?  Instructing a precal class, I walked through my approach to answering this in class (without preparing) and ended up doing something strange that may have confused the students. How would you clearly explain a way to get the function for the number of apples that we are trying to maximize? More generally, how would approach answering this question? It'd be nice to collect a some different approaches to demonstrate to my students that there is not a single rigid correct way to solve a problem. To find the total no. of six digit numbers that can be formed having property that every succeeding digit is greater than preceding digit. I have a question and got strucked on this.. To find the total no. of six digit numbers that can be formed having property that every succeeding digit is greater than preceding digit. Please guide me to solve this. Thanks in advance. Unable to locate package Enable F1-F12 keys without Fn on Lenovo Ideapad S400u I'm trying to do raster algebra with two rasters, but when I transform the rasters to array I can't do the operation because the files do not have the same extent  example:  from osgeo import gdal import numpy as np  IMG1 = gdal.Open('C:/IMG1.TIF') IMG2 = gdal.Open('C:/IMG2.TIF')  img1 = IMG1.ReadAsArray() img2 = IMG2.ReadAsArray()  img1+img2 &gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt; ValueError: operands could not be broadcast together with shapes (5353,3352) (5548,3232)    So.. if I see the gt of every img show that img1 and img2 have the same size of the pixel (100) but different extent  g1 = IMG1.GetGeoTransform() gt1 &gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt; (482084.999999999, 100.0, 0.0, 5652715.00001374, 0.0, -100.0) g2 = IMG2.GetGeoTransform() gt2 &gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt; (475184.999999999, 100.0, 0.0, 5643715.00001535, 0.0, -100.0)   So.. I used this operation in order to get the intersect extent.. but I don't know how to apply  r1 = [gt1[0], gt1[3],gt1[0] + (gt1[1] * IMG1.RasterXSize), gt1[3] + (gt1[5] * IMG1.RasterYSize)] r2 = [gt2[0], gt2[3],gt2[0] + (gt2[1] * IMG2.RasterXSize), gt2[3] + (gt2[5] * IMG2.RasterYSize)] intersection = [max(r1[0], r2[0]), min(r1[1], r2[1]), min(r1[2], r2[2]), max(r1[3], r2[3])] How can I "normalize" the scale of what seems to be either an infinitely large or infinitely small object I'm having issues with an obj file I've imported into Blender. At first I thought the import was broken in some way because the import would go smoothly, but there was no model to be seen. Eventually I figured out that I could snap my view to the object by pressing . on the numpad and it was in fact there, just extremely small or large (I can't tell). I've tried scaling, but the sizes are so extreme that it doesn't seem to be working. Also due to the extreme nature of the object I can only see certain parts of it at a time depending on the angle in which im viewing it at it starts to de-render the parts not directly in front of the camera. Send request for "reason for down vote"? Each question in SO keeps a list of the users who voted it down. As we all know, the list is never shown to anyone. Only the down voter can see which questions he down voted.   Sometimes, down voters down vote rather hastily. Thats okay because no one is perfect (except chuck norris). But sometimes, the down voter might have a good reason to down vote but may not leave a reason behind. As a result, the poster is left wondering if his question is stupid/bad or okay. To remedy this situation, I suggest a feature below -   The poster should have a button "request down voters for reason" which can be pushed only once. The down voters in the down voter list get the notification and can choose to respond to it. I feel that this can serve as a polite reminder to those who down vote a question which would seem to be an okay (if not good) question to most people.   Example of question which I feel should have at least 0 votes -    If okay, then this feature can be combined with -    Do you agree to the proposal ?  As an aside, do you agree that the SO question above should not get negative points ? the following code will only make the qed not appear in the second proof. However, it it possible to make the qed symbol never appear at the end of the proofs without having to specify it locally every time?  \documentclass{article} \usepackage{amsthm} \begin{document} \begin{proof} This has the QED symbol. \end{proof} \begin{proof}\renewcommand{\qedsymbol}{} This hasn't. \end{proof} \begin{proof} And this has it again. \end{proof} \end{document}
