I have an bootable external disk which a Linux is installed on it. I can boot into it and use Linux there. It is a 1TB disk. I think it will be better if I can also use it as a storage when I use my Windows 7 machine.I plug it in the windows 7 machine. But it cannot show up. Windows 7 says the drive is installed successfully but it is not listed.  Is there a way to make it recongizable by windows 7 and also keep the bootable Linux installation?  I installed the Linux 2 years ago by using a live CD when I bought the external drive. I guess it was formatted as Linux file system? I am not sure though.  EDIT:  My case is not a dual boot disk. Mine is a separated external movable bootable USB disk.  I have attached a screen shot about my situation. The one selected is the 1TB external drive. I have another bootable USB drive plugged in and it is listed by the Windows 7.  If I use 3rdparty software, it will allow me to read and write as usual?
Note: TL;DR, scroll to bottom for summary. I recently set up my computer for a dual boot between Ubuntu 9.10 and Windows 7. My current drive setup is as follows.  | A1 |     A2       | | B1    |  B2  | B3 |        A1: 100 mb, windows 7 "System   Reserved" boot partition      A2: 230 gb, data section, this one   needs to be shared between the   operating systems      B1: 125 gb, windows 7 OS      B2: 123 gb, ubuntu OS      B3: 2gb, linux swap space     Pretty much I want to have my documents, music, pictures, videos, etc accessible from both operating systems. My first attempt involved making the data (a2) partition NTFS, and moving my home folder from ubuntu to the data partition. However, as I read NTFS does not work nice with permission, and it messed up my home folder. My next idea is one of the following: 1) format the data partition to ext2/3/4 and move my home folder from linux there, and get a driver to read ext partitions in windows 7. The problem with that is that most of the ext drivers/software are not compatible with windows 7 or do not integrate with windows explorer (I really don't want to open a separate software window just to access my data, plus it's probably not compatible with other software.)  looks promising, but I'm not sure how it works with ext4 and windows 7 (not officially supported, when trying in Vista Compatibility Mode, it tells me I need to format the ext drive to use it). My next idea, 2) keep the home folder in ubuntu where it is, but create symlinks for the Documents, Music, etc folders to an NTFS formatted Data (A2) partition, and add those locations to the windows 7 libraries. I'm not totally sure how the permissions would work out, but it should be fine since it's only the documents, music, etc and not the important config files in the rest of /home/user/. Correct me if I'm wrong. Currently, symlinks is my best idea, although i'm not sure how it will work.  Any suggestions, additions to my ideas, links, pointers, whatever would be greatly appreciated. Even if it means I should reformat both my drives and repartition (2 250gb drives if you want to suggest a setup for that), I won't be too opposed if that's the best suggestion (I've gone through the format/install/format/reinstall process 5 times over the past 3 days, once more won't hurt me).    TL;DR, summary:  I have two hard drives. One is partitioned for Ubuntu and Windows 7, the second one I want accessible to both operating systems to store documents, music, pictures, videos, etc. Suggestions on how to set up the data drive.    P.S. bonus if I can get an apache server document root folder working between the two OS's as well (permissions could become very complicated, so don't worry too much about that)  P.P.S. Related question, but data viewing is one way:
I have a site which is only for US/Canada/UK visitors. I don't want to make it visible to other visitors.  I tried to put IP ranges in .htaccess (Deny IP) but it does not work for me. May be I have inaccurate IP lists or I am doing something wrong. Why are there so many bottomless pits in Star Wars How to create id with AUTO_INCREMENT on Oracle? I'm writing a custom module for Drupal 8. It defines a field storage configuration object, in a file called modules/mymod/config/install/field.storage.bloom_stem.bs_twitter_ac.yml.  The problem is that this is not removed when I uninstall the module; it is apparently left behind because, when I re-install the module, I get a crash.   drush -y pm-uninstall mymod drush cr drush -y en mymod      exception 'Drupal\Core\Config\PreExistingConfigException' with message 'Configuration objects (field.storage.bloom_stem.bs_twitter_ac) provided by mymod already exist in active configuration'   So it seems I need to some how manually remove this configuration object. Do I need to provide some more code that deletes it when the module is uninstalled? Does it mean that two threads can't change the underlying data simultaneously? Or does it mean that the given code segment will run with predictable results when multiple threads are executing that code segment? Recursively delete empty directories in Windows I have a directory on my Windows 7 machine that has hundreds if not thousands of sub-directories.  Some of them have files, some do not.  I want to delete all the empty directories.  Looking at the del and rmdir DOS command, it does not look like you can recursively do this without deleting all the files.  Is there a way to do this from the command line? How can you encode a string to Base64 in JavaScript? I have a PHP script that can encode a PNG image to a Base64 string.  I'd like to do the same thing using JavaScript. I know how to open files, but I'm not sure how to do the encoding. I'm not used to working with binary data. Why I can't remove linux partitions on macOS Sierra I'm trying to remove linux partition from my iMac (21.5-inch, Mid 2011) on MacOS Sierra 10.12 Beta 2, So I tried existing solutions by using Disk Utility, I tried from Recovery as well, But it says      You can not remove this volume because the previous volume can not be resized         Some  use Terminal but I have no idea about that.  I need a simplest and easiest way to remove these linux partitions and grow my mac partition. When I am at my desk and my laptop is in its docking station I want to ensure that it uses its wired connection and not my wireless network. I am hoping/guessing that the preference in connection is based on the order of the listed connections in the Network and Sharing Center. I could just switch the wireless off but I'd prefer to not have to go through the trouble. Are there critical hits for spells?

How to remove exclamation mark on Wi-Fi or signal icon in Lollipop? I am trying to solve the following two problems:  1) Prove that the functions $\cos(z)$, $\sin(z)$ are surjective over the complex numbers.  2) Find all $z \in \mathbb C$: $cos(z) \in \mathbb R$ and find all $z \in \mathbb C$: $\sin(z) \in \mathbb R$.  For 1),I've tried to prove it for the function $\cos(z)$ (I suppose the other one is analogue)  so I've used the fact that $\cos(z)=\dfrac{e^{iz}+e^{-iz}}{2}$.  Let $w \in \mathbb C$, I want to show there exists $z \in \mathbb C : f(z)=w$, i.e., $\dfrac{e^{iz}+e^{-iz}}{2}=w$, multiplying by $2$ and then by $e^{iz}$ yields $e^{2iz}+1=2we^{iz}$ iff $e^{2iz}-2we^{iz}+1=0$.   I don't know if this approach is the correct one but here I've replaced $e^{iz}$ by $x$, so the solutions of the equation would be the roots of the polynomial $p(x)=x^2-2wx+1$, by the quadratic formula, I get that $x \in \{\dfrac{2w+w_0}{2},\dfrac{2w-w_0}{2}\}$, where $w_0^2=4w^2-4$.  Then, $e^{iz} \in \{\dfrac{2w+w_0}{2},\dfrac{2w-w_0}{2}\}$. At this point I got lost, I would like to explicitly show that $z$ exists and I can't see existence directly from the fact that $e^{iz}=\dfrac{2w+w_0}{2}$ or $e^{iz}=\dfrac{2w-w_0}{2}$.  First I thought of taking logarithm of both sides of the equation ir order to solve for $z$, but this is not a legitimate operation unless $e^{iz} \in \mathbb R$.   I couldn't go any farther.  For point 2) I have no idea what to do, should I use the identity $\cos(z)=\dfrac{e^{iz}+e^{-iz}}{2}$?  I would appreciate some help with the two points (specially with point 2), at least in 1) I could do something).   Btw, Happy new year!

Something is listening on port 111 (identified with an nmap scan):  $ sudo lsof -i :111 COMMAND PID USER   FD   TYPE DEVICE SIZE/OFF NODE NAME systemd   1 root   36u  IPv4  15170      0t0  TCP *:sunrpc (LISTEN) systemd   1 root   37u  IPv4  15171      0t0  UDP *:sunrpc systemd   1 root   38u  IPv6  15172      0t0  TCP *:sunrpc (LISTEN) systemd   1 root   39u  IPv6  15173      0t0  UDP *:sunrpc   I disabled the Sun gear on the port with the following commands:  $ sudo systemctl disable rpcbind $ sudo systemctl disable sunrpc Failed to disable unit: No such file or directory   After reboot the port is still open.  It appears something other than Sun gear wants to listen on port 111. Or maybe systemd is not respecting my wishes to disable the unused service. Or maybe something else...  How do I determine what is trying to listen on the port, and how do I disable it?
