I have a 4TB NTFS external hard drive that I keep my Movies/TV on it. For some reason, If I boot Xubuntu without the drive plugged-into the computer it will give me an answer along the lines of "Unable to mount /media/tyler/TMC_MASTER_DRIVE the drive is unplugged or unavailable. Please press 'S' to skip mounting or 'M' for manual recovery"   Why am I getting this message? The drive has nothing essential for Linux on it (I can boot Xubuntu just fine after pressing S, it's just kinda annoying)
I recently made changes to my fstab file and, upon reboot, noticed I had an error in it. I get the typical mount error on boot. I went to try and modify it by entering the read-only mode but then, since it's read only, I can't access it. Is there a way around this or some way to delete the file so I can use the backup (which I'm pretty sure works)?
How does the system determine which one close reason should be displayed on a closed question, given the close votes? When voting to close a question, it's possible for users to vote for any close reason, even if others have voted for different reasons. However, in the end, once the question reaches five close votes for any reason, only one of those reasons can be displayed.  How does the system determine which one close reason to display, given the votes made by users? Find all functions $f(x)$ such that $f\left(x^2+f(y)\right)$=$y+(f(x))^2$ Windows 10 has an extensive collection of lock screen photos, many of which have  here on Travel.SE.  Is there a website which lists the location of all of these photos? I imagine Microsoft has purchased an official license, so they should have a record about the photographer and the place where the photo was taken. I'm trying to install a service using InstallUtil.exe but invoked through Process.Start. Here's the code:  ProcessStartInfo startInfo = new ProcessStartInfo (m_strInstallUtil, strExePath); System.Diagnostics.Process.Start (startInfo);   where m_strInstallUtil is the fully qualified path and exe to "InstallUtil.exe" and strExePath is the fully qualified path/name to my service.  Running the command line syntax from an elevated command prompt works; running from my app (using the above code) does not. I assume I'm dealing with some process elevation issue, so how would I run my process in an elevated state? Do I need to look at ShellExecute for this?  This is all on Windows Vista. I am running the process in the VS2008 debugger elevated to admin privilege.  I also tried setting startInfo.Verb = "runas"; but it didn't seem to solve the problem. How would you represent "religion" in an icon, neutrally? I would like to convert a Mp4 file in HD into a Mp4 file of lower resolution. Is there any software that can be used for this? How slow are .NET exceptions? I don't want a discussion about when to and not to throw exceptions. I wish to resolve a simple issue. 99% of the time the argument for not throwing exceptions revolves around them being slow while the other side claims (with benchmark test) that the speed is not the issue. I've read numerous blogs, articles, and posts pertaining one side or the other. So which is it?  Some links from the answers: , , . I want to set an environment variable from the command prompt and then be able to access it globally (for instance, I should see it by going to System -> Environment Variables).    When I use the set command, it isn't accessible in a new cmd session.  set NEWVAR=SOMETHING echo %NEWVAR%   Related questions: How to make terminal autocomplete when there are several files/directory? If I have several directories, like:  afoo abar   sometimes my terminal will refuse autocomplete when I press tab (e.g. "cd a" then tab), and print the list of directories instead. Sometimes it even throws a noisy, annoying sound. Any idea how to make it autocomplete in cases like this? E.g it can show abar first, and then afoo if I press tab again. I saw this is the case in windows, or some applciation in Ubuntu How can you prove that the square root of two is irrational? Why use static_cast(x) instead of (int)x? I've heard that the static_cast function should be preferred to C-style or simple function-style casting.  Is this true?  Why? Finite Cartesian Product of Countable sets is countable? Is the finite Cartesian Product of Countable sets countable?  If possible, could you give a bijection that would work for any example?  Any help would be appreciated. I have some shares that are mounted during login. I used Users &amp; Groups' "Login Items" panel to do this. When I login, all of the shares pop up in their own Finder windows.  How can I keep the Finder windows from popping up at login? I've already tried checking the Hide checkbox. Let $x$ and $y$ be integers not congruent to $0$ modulo $p$ where $p$ is a prime. Prove that if $p \equiv 3 \pmod{4}$ then $x^2+y^2 \not \equiv 0 \pmod{p}$.   I thought about proving this algebraically and by contradiction. So we say $x^2+y^2 = pz$ and have to show this is impossible. How do you correctly say large numbers I saw a post on  which links to a video where a person . Is he saying a large portion of the numbers wrong? Back in high school my algebra teacher was extremely picky.  If we were going to say the number 135, we would say one hundred thirty-five.  If a person said one hundred and thirty-five my teacher would interpret that to mean 100.35.  Was my algebra teacher wrong, or did Jon just waste over 80 hours counting to 100,000 incorrectly. I tried searching the web, but searching for ‘numbers and’  doesn’t work very well.  Can you point me to a reference or style guide that describes how to properly say large numbers? Output of Logistic Regression Prediction Calculate $ \int_{-2}^{0} \frac{x}{\sqrt{e^x+(x+2)^2}} dx $ $ \int_{-2}^{0} \frac{x}{\sqrt{e^x+(x+2)^2}} dx $ = -$  2.887270... $  The function has no antiderivate and there's no symmetry here to help, if you solve this I would be thankful if you would for a highschooler ^^ When should I have an NPC actively investigate an illusion created by the Phantasmal Force spell? The phantasmal force spell can be broken if the victim examines the illusion and makes a successful investigation check against the spell's DC.  What general guidelines should I use to decide when the victim of phantasmal force should use its action to examine the illusion?  Suppose the caster makes an orc think it is being attacked by a wolf.  Should the orc always examine the wolf until the spell ends? Or should the orc use its action to attack the wolf, defend itself, or run away?
