I'm trying to install Ubuntu on my desktop and am getting the message: "no root file system is defined" on the menu for installation type. I can't seem to find what to do next.
I am new to linux/ ubuntu and just downloaded the v11 of ubuntu to learn linux. I faced this "No root file system is defined" error while trying to install it. This is how I was proceeding -    Downloaded ubuntu v11 from the ubuntu.com website, wrote the iso into a bootable cd, and then got into the linux installation process on restarting; everything fine till here. In one of the screen during installation, there are three choices - install alongside windows, something else etc.. Since I have windows 7 in the C drive, I selected the first option - "Install alongside another OS".      Let me interrupt here to give my existing system details - HardDisk   size: 640GB.  Number of existing partitions - 5 C drive - label   windows - 160GB - has windows 7 installed D drive - label linux -   160GB - does not have any data E drive - label backup - 100GB - has   some data F drive - label entertainment - 100GB  - has some data G   drive - label work - 90GB  - has some data All of the above are in   NTFS format.    In the screen that follows, an image is shown with 2 parts and each part is shown to have size equal to 80GB. There is a horizontal slider in the middle of these two images, with which I can resize the partitions. The right side partition is labeled Linux. There is also an option to do 'advanced partitions'. On clicking advanced partitions on the above screen, a new screen is shown in which the partitions existing in my computer are shown - but the labels are different. I see that there are two partitions with size = 160GB each (as expected), and so I assumed that the first 160GB would be my existing C drive and the second on would be the partition which I had labeled as linux (drive D). So I selected the linux partition and clicked on proceed/ install now, and then this error was shown - "No root file system defined".. and I cannot proceed after this.   Please let me know two things here:   During the screen in point number 3 above, the image with slider was shown. Which partition (drive c: or d: or anyother) is being referred to here? Which one am I actually resizing - is it the existing c: drive which has windows 7 installed already, that is getting shrunk and then ubuntu getting installed in the remaining space? What does ""No root file system defined" error mean? How do I select the proper partition and continue with the installation?    P.S.:  I had already partitioned my drives as mentioned above, and the D drive with 160GB was specifically left free for installing ubuntu. I would like to Select D drive during setup and install ubuntu here, while still keeping the already installed windows7 in C drive.  Thanks!
How can I play Pokémon GO without Internet? Have the guys from the show Impractical Jokers gotten into any major trouble because of the nature of their show?   Eg: have they been physically assaulted or has anyone thrown a law suit on them? What plane type will I need to go transatlantic in Pocket Planes? I'm based in North America and have a bunch of major airports on the Eastern Seaboard.  I'm level 14 and just unlocked the Pearjet, but I still don't have a plane with enough range to make it across the Atlantic.  What's the first plane I'll get that will let me make that crossing?  Or more specifically, what's the range from New York (or Boston) to London (or Lisbon) - the smallest range that'll get me across? Is there any built-in way to get the length of an iterable in python? For example, files, in Python, are iterable - they iterate over the lines in the file. I want to count the number of lines.   One quick way is to do this:  lines = len(list(open(fname)))   However, this loads the whole file into memory (at once). This rather defeats the purpose of an iterator (which only needs to keep the current line in memory).  This doesn't work:  lines = len(line for line in open(fname))   as generators don't have a length.  Is there any way to do this short of defining a count function?  def count(i):     c = 0     for el in i: c += 1     return c   To clarify, I understand that the whole file will have to be read! I just don't want it in memory all at once I'd say Microsoft have a way of bending the rules and I know that McLaren have won the championship. While this sounds strange, I believe it is correct English (sorry, I'm not native).   But when it's a small company, would you still use it this way? Is a company always plural, or are small companies singular? I.e., would you say Bakery Johnson makes fine bread or Bakery Johnson make fine bread? Is it My book seller, Woody's, have moved or is it has moved? Binomial confidence interval estimation - why is it not symmetric? I have used the following r code to estimate the confidence intervals of a binomial proportion because I understand that that substitutes for a "power calculation" when designing receiver operating characteristic curve designs looking at detection of diseases in a population.  n is 150, and the disease, we believe, is 25% prevalent in the population. I have calculated the values for 75% sensitivity and 90% specificity (because that's what people seem to do).      binom.test(c(29,9), p=0.75, alternative=c("t"), conf.level=0.95)      binom.test(c(100, 12), p=0.90, alternative=c("t"), conf.level=0.95)   I have also visited this site:    Which is a java page which calculates binomial confidence intervals, and it gives the same answer.  Anyway, after that lengthy set-up, I want to ask why the confidence intervals are not symmetric, e.g. sensitivity is      95 percent confidence interval:    0.5975876 0.8855583      sample estimate probability: 0.7631579    Sorry if this is a basic question, but everywhere I look seems to suggest that they will be symmetric, and a colleague of mine seems to think they will be too. When using the Gmail preview pane lab, fastest way to get a direct link to a conversation? In vanilla Gmail, clicking on a conversation alters the fragment ID in the URL, allowing you to link back to that conversation.  (It opens in its own Gmail interface.)  I am using the preview pane, which is great, except that the URL no longer updates when viewing specific emails, so there appears to be no way to get the link to the currently-viewed conversation.  (The 'open in new window' button doesn't help, since it pulls its contents in on the client side; it isn't a standalone link.)  The only solution I've found is to turn off the preview pane, find the message again in the list, open it, grab the link, go back to the message list, and turn preview pane back on.  That's fairly onerous for something I do often though (to clip Gmail conversations to Evernote, where my GTD setup lives). What does "$$" mean in the shell? What is the actual mechanism behind the reflection of various colored light by material of different color? When light (composed of photons with different frequency and wavelength) falls on a material, some of it gets absorbed and some get reflected depending upon the color of the material on which it strikes. And the material reflects the light of its own color only, thereby absorbing all the other colored light. So, my questions are:  How would a photon with certain wavelength (say 400 nm) decide to get reflected after striking the material of red color?   What is the actual mechanism behind the reflection of various colored light by the material of different color? How can I completely remove a objects (e.g. particle system or groups used in particle systems) in blender using python?  The problem is this: I have a script, with which I create a scene (e.g. adding some normal objects and some group of objects with a particle system). For a research study I would like to repeat that that several times, without restarting blender. So I can create a scene, delete everything, e.g. with a script like this:  import bpy scn = bpy.context.scene for obj in scn.objects:     obj.select = True bpy.ops.object.delete()   If I rerun the script to recreate the scene with objects using particle system, the latter is not shown in the scene anymore (only the placeholders of the particle system). Now I'm not sure where exactly the problem lies, but I guess not everything is immediately deleted, running the script above. Only the startup of blender helps (but that's not what I want) or pushing the purge button. The purge button seems to start the command:  bpy.ops.outliner.orphans_purge()   But I can't get this piece of code to run in the console. It says that "the context is incorrect". Is there a way to purge the unused data by python script? Thanks a lot for any help. Is there a command like head but for line truncation? I have a Canon XTI which I've been using for a few years now. Most of the time I'm been shooting in one of the "semi-manual" modes like aperture priority or shutter priority, but now I'd like to try using full manual mode. I should have a new EF-S 17-55 f/2.8 delivered when I get home today. Before I was using a variable aperture Sigma 17-70 which made manual mode more difficult with the aperture changing arbitrarily.  I understand the effect of changing aperture and shutter speed, but right now I'm accustomed  to only controlling one at a time. The camera is usually setting the other to get the right exposure automatically for me. So if I'm controlling both how do I know I have the correct exposure? I understand I need to use the metering in my camera but I'm not sure exactly how do do that.   First when should I be using each of the metering modes (Evaluative, Partial, Center weighted, or Spot)? These just change the area of the scene which is metered correct?  How do I know what the meter should read off a specific object? Obviously if I just happen to be shooting a 18% gray wall then it should be at zero, but that can't apply to everything? If I'm shooting a black cat and take a spot meter reading off of the cat then the meter should read less then zero right? But how do I know how much less then zero? Are there rules of thumb I can follow? I've ordered a couple gray cards with my new lens. So experimenting with those should help.  How often should I be changing these settings? Say I'm at a party indoors which is consistently lit. I should be able to set the aperture, shutter speed, and ISO and just forget about it unless the lighting changes correct? Does the same apply to outdoor scenes? I've been hesitant to use manual mode in the past because I felt like I was spending a lot of times messing with settings before each shot. But not I'm realizing that this is really only the case when the lighting changes, or I want a different style of photo such as a different depth of field.  Finally, does exposure change with distance to the subject? For example say I want to take a picture of a statue with correct exposure using a gray card. I'd place the card on the statue, and while being careful not the block the light on the card find the correct exposure by spot metering the card. If I were then to step back 20' to get the whole statue in frame would I still have the correct exposure? how can we show $\frac{\pi^2}{8} = 1 + \frac1{3^2} +\frac1{5^2} + \frac1{7^2} + …$? Let $f(x) = \frac4\pi \cdot (\sin x + \frac13 \sin (3x) + \frac15 \sin (5x) + \dots)$. If for $x=\frac\pi2$, we have $$f(x) = \frac{4}{\pi} ( 1 - \frac13 +\frac15 - \frac17 + \dots) = 1$$ then obviously :  $$ 1 - \frac13 +\frac15 - \frac17 + \dots=\frac{\pi}{4}$$ Now how can we prove that: $$\frac{\pi^2}{8} = 1 + \frac1{3^2} +\frac1{5^2} + \frac1{7^2} + \dots$$ How can I cure lycanthropy? I really want to get rid of it. I've been through the whole companion’s quest line and cured Kodlak's. I killed all 5 witches and have 4 of the heads left in my inventory.  I've been back to that same flame and tried to use it with the head, but nothing going; activating it does nothing. I've heard this is how you cure it; however I have not heard a first-hand account of anyone actually curing it.  If you have, can you explain what you do? Do you go to the same tomb where you fought Kodlak's beast form? Do you do something special with the witch head in your inventory, or just have it in there and activate the harbinger flame or whatever? Number of points on a line in a finite projective plane I've been reading some proofs regarding finite projective planes of order n, and often they start out by assuming that each line contains n+1 points. Is this a fact that follows from the axioms for finite projective planes? Or does this relate to the order of the finite field being projected? (for example in the Fano plane, does the fact that each line contains 3 points follow from the fact that there are 3 elements {0,1,2} in Z_2?) I haven't been able to find a clear explanation of this (clearly I do not yet have a solid understanding of how such planes are constructed). If someone could enlighten me that would be excellent. Proving that $GF(p^n)$ contains a unique subfield isomorphic to $GF(p^m)$ if and only if $m$ is a divisor of $n$. I am looking to prove that $GF(p^n)$ contains a unique subfield isomorphic to $GF(p^m)$ if and only if $m$ is a divisor of $n$. In the Wikipedia article:    They say that this statement has been proven by E. H. Moore in 1893.  How to go about proving the theorem? I know first I need to generate a subset, prove that it's a subfield, and then assume they are two and show it's unique.  But how to generate it in the first place? Consider the set of polynomials of the form $x^{p^m}-x=0$? Is there a way to show that it's a subfield without checking all the axioms? Let $f$ be a holomorphic function defined on $\Bbb C$ such that $f^{-1}(\Bbb R)=\Bbb R$. Prove that there exists $a,b \in \Bbb R, \; a \neq 0 \;$ such that $f(z)=az+b \;$ for every $z \in \Bbb C$.  I was given a hint: define the function $g(z)=\frac{f(z)-f(0)}{z}$. such $g$ is also holomorphic in $\Bbb C$ since the only singularity is in $0$, and it is a removable singularity since we can define $g(0)=f'(0)$. Next I thought about proving $g$ is bounded, and thus constant (using Liouville's theorem), but pretty much out of ideas. How can I finish the proof/solve in another way? $ \lim_{n \to \infty} \left(\frac 1{n^2+1}+\frac 2{n^2+2}+\frac 3{n^2+3}+\cdots +\frac n{n^2+n}\right)$ I was looking for some shell commands, and I took a look in "users" command.  I was hoping to get only 1 name, but I got 2:  nori@nori-hidamari:~$ users nori nori   And when I run the command "who"  nori@nori-hidamari:~$ who nori     :0           2015-04-09 09:31 (:0) nori     pts/0        2015-04-09 09:48 (:0)   Is this behaviour normal? Or it's bad?  Thank you guys for helping me. Determiners: anyone versus someone
