Recently I've installed fluxbox window manager on my lUbuntu. Everything works fine but I'm having trouble finding some of my applications. Is there  some kind of alternative for unity dash for fluxbox ? Perhaps something lighter that comes with a tray icon?
What are some alternative launchers that can be used to launch programs in Ubuntu's default Unity desktop?
How to switch between Ubuntu and Windows 7 without a reboot I have installed windows 7 and then Ubuntu 11.04. Now I want to know how I can switch from Ubuntu to Windows 7 and from Windows 7 to Ubuntu without restarting the computer. Gravitational potential at a point in a gravitational field is defined as work done per unit mass in bringing a small test mass from infinity to the point.  I know that:   By integration, we find that gravitation potential is negative. The maximum value of gravitational potential which is at infinity distance is 0, therefore minimum value should be negative.   But, what I do not understand is force is in the same direction as displacement so why work done is not positive? Confused About Trigonometric Substitution Should I use static_cast or reinterpret_cast when casting a void* to whatever Both static_cast and reinterpret_cast seem to work fine for casting void* to another pointer type. Is there a good reason to favor one over the other? How do I install the Cinnamon Desktop? I have read that there is a new Gnome-2 like interface called Cinnamon produced by the Linux Mint developers.  Is this available for Ubuntu users - and if so how do I install it? Why crontab scripts are not working? If I run:  sudo chown -R user:user /   Can I revert it to what it was before I ran it? I have the following problem illustrated by a simple example: If I cite the paper of an author T. Coven in my document, the outcome is 'Coven (2004b)'. If I cite the appendix to this paper, the outcome is 'Coven (2004a)'. Now the appendix pops up much less frequently than the original paper, therefore I would like to reverse the order (exchange 'a' and 'b' in the citations). Is this possible?  I am using Biblatex. Here is the bib-file of the above example (named: lib.bib):  @article{co:2004, author = {T. Coven}, title = {Title A}, journaltitle = {The X Journal}, date = {2004} } @article{coapp:2004, author = {T. Coven}, title = {Appendix to Title A}, journaltitle = {The X Journal}, date = {2004} }   MWE:  \documentclass[a4paper, 12pt, headsepline, headings=small,]{scrreprt} \usepackage[backend=bibtex8,     style=authoryear-icomp,     dashed=false,     autocite=footnote,     maxcitenames=3,     mincitenames=1,     maxbibnames=100,     firstinits=true,     sorting=nty     ]{biblatex} \bibliography{lib}  \begin{document} \cite{co:2004} and \cite{coapp:2004} \end{document} How to prove this question? If a graph with $n$ vertices and $n$ edges it must contain a cycle? How to delete a file in Windows with a too long filename? My wife has several files and folders that somehow ended up having filenames that have caused them to be undeleteable (can't be deleted) by normal means or via the command line. I believe the filenames are too long due to the depth of the folder structures. Does anyone know of a good utility for cleaning up files like this? I've just got my first follower, and I'm wondering if I can get a second person to follow me. Is the game limited to one or two follower(s) or does it allow for a large number of followers? It really seems handy to me to have some followers protect me when I draw attention from a larger group, or when I try to steal something where I really shouldn't... I'm trying to prove that ${n \choose r}$ is equal to ${{n-1} \choose {r-1}}+{{n-1} \choose r}$ when $1\leq r\leq n$.  I suppose I could use the counting rules in probability, perhaps combination= ${{n} \choose {r}}=\frac{n!}{r!(n-r!)}$.  I want to see an actual proof behind this equation.  Does anyone have any ideas? White stains and stainless steel cookware I know this question has been asked before in some form or another, but I can't seem to find a definitive answer. I've looked on SA, chowhound, martha stewart, about.com, etc., and answers seem to vary. Answers that I've seen vary from using vinegar to washing using special stainless steel soaps (which I'm not very keen on using) to only using soft sponges and hot water.   The one thing I always do is wash my stainless steel with warm soapy water and a soft sponge. If there's burned food stuck on the cookware, I scrape it off with a wood pot scraper (lightly, of course). And I always dry with a soft cloth immediately after washing. Yet I still get stains!  I'd like to get a general consensus on how to prevent those white and rainbow colored stains as well as minimizing corrosion. How to emulate titletoc with tocloft I was using titletoc until I realized that it has some incompatibilities with hyperref. The thing is, that titletoc can do the same thing in a easier way, less one.  \titlecontents*{subsection}[5.4em] {\small} {\thecontentslabel~ } {} {} [.~\textbullet\ ] [.]   this part does the subsection as a paragraph (with section number and without page number). I have realized that the problem is the pseudo-code used by tocloft for the entries in the TOC  {\cftXfont {\cftXpresnum SNUM\cftXaftersnum\hfil} \cftXaftersnumb TITLE}% {\cftXleader}{\cftXpagefont PAGE}\cftXafterpnum\par   I mean, the last command \par make impossible to leave two subsection entries in the same textline. Any idea? Another interesting solution is with etoolbox, some examples with that package are awesome, but it's not on my hands.  This is a MWE:  \documentclass{book}  \usepackage{titletoc} \titlecontents*{subsection}[5.4em]{\small} {\thecontentslabel~ }{}{}[.~\textbullet\ ][.]  \begin{document}  \tableofcontents  \chapter{Test Chapter 1} \section{Test Section 1.1} \subsection{First Test Subsection} \subsection{Second Test Subsection} \subsection{Third Test Subsection} \subsection{Fourth Test Subsection} \section{Test Section 1.2} \subsection{First Test Subsection} \subsection{Second Test Subsection}  \chapter{Test Chapter 2} \section{Test Section 2.1} \subsection{First Test Subsection} \subsection{Second Test Subsection} \subsection{Third Test Subsection} \subsection{Fourth Test Subsection} \section{Test Section 2.2} \subsection{First Test Subsection} \subsection{Second Test Subsection}  \end{document} Explain reflection laws at the atomic level How to change the chapter number to display as text (One, Two, ...)? In LaTeX, how do I change the chapter number to display as text? eg:  CHAPTER ONE not CHAPTER 1;  CHAPTER THIRTEEN not CHAPTER 13. listing files with pattern with starting and ending I want to list all files in a directory that start with 'abc' and end with '.zip'  I'm trying to use ls.  The directory has a lot of zip files starting with abc&lt;date&gt; and xvz&lt;date&gt;. I only want to get the list of the abc&lt;date&gt;.zip How can I change PulseAudio port priorities? I list sources and sinks as follows:  pactl list sources pactl list sinks   The output I get is:  ...     Ports:         analog-input-internal-mic: Internal Microphone (priority: 8900)         analog-input-headphone-mic: Microphone (priority: 8700)         analog-input-headset-mic: Headset Microphone (priority: 8800) ...     Ports:         analog-output-speaker: Speakers (priority: 10000)         analog-output-headphones: Headphones (priority: 9000, available)    How do I change the priorities listed above and have them fixed at what I change them to? Note that I am not looking to set a default source and sink or to delete unwanted sources or sinks, I just want to be able to assign them different priorities. I often use  to keep my sentences gender neutral. Many of my friends (none of them are native speakers), however, consider this to be grammatically incorrect, and suggest me not to use it in formal English exams.  My questions are:   Is singular they widely accepted in English speaking countries such as America and Britain? Is it formal enough to be used in formal situations, such as a public speech? Is it casual enough to be used in informal situations, such as gossiping among friends? I'm working on a fairly big document that has a lot of graphs of functions- so far it has around 200, by the end it will have around 1500. I use pgfplots for each graphic, and the functions are pretty basic: exponential, rational, polynomial, and trigonometric.  Once I am happy with each graph, I don't necessarily need to see it every time I compile, and would like to minimize compilation time for future drafts. Naturally, the document is already chopped up into chapter files, but each chapter contains around 100 figures.  Having studied the pgfplots documentation, I haven't found a draft mode, but I'm interested in knowing if one could be created.    I'm envisaging something similar to the draft mode of the graphicx package, in which graphics are not included, and blank boxes are put in their place.  Some things I've considered:   the  documentclass; but with about 1500 figures, wouldn't this mean over-modulization?  tikzexternalize, but this still requires an initial 'monster' compilation to get the images externalized before the draft option could be invoked   Here's a MWE to play with  \documentclass{article} \usepackage{pgfplots}  \begin{document}  \begin{tikzpicture}     \begin{axis}         \addplot {x^2};     \end{axis} \end{tikzpicture}  \end{document}
