Ruined the update from 14 to 16 when I caused a freeze during the update, and now while in recovery mode, I forgot my username (I do know the password) which it keeps asking for while in safe mode. What to do besides a reformat? I can't do terminal options in recovery without first logging in, at least from what I've been able to do preboot (cannot boot UI). It's all recovery-esc fashions I'm able to do anything at all, but without my username I can't do anything (despite knowing my password 100% sure). The profile I always logged intgo was just called &quot;D&quot;, so I'm assuming the actual name is just something I did in the beginning which I don't remember.
When I installed the latest update of Ubuntu, I was asked for the username but I do not remember what my username is. How do I find out what my username is?
Limiting floats to two decimal points Does this parallel structure need coordinated prepositions to avoid being a faulty parallelism? Is a bivariate function that is a polynomial function with respect to each variable necessarily a bivariate polynomial? Having the derivative be an operator How to terminate a background process? I have started a wget on remote machine in background using &amp;. Suddenly it stops downloading. I want to terminate its process, then re-run the command. How can I terminate it?  I haven't closed its shell window. But as you know it doesn't stop using Ctrl+C and Ctrl+Z.

Georgina turns out to be controlled by Rose's grandmother; its grandmothers brain in her body. Why then, is Georgina constantly cleaning and being treated like an actual maid.  During the diner scene, we get a glimpse into the kitchen, and we see Georgina holding up a plate in way that suggested that she was made to work and cook. The pose and the fact that she was already standing there holding the plate before Missy enters the kitchen was also quite strange and suggestive.  Also, at the "party" theres a moment that Chris sees Georgina and Missy. For a moment he thinks that Georgina is being involved in the party, but than it turns out the Georgina is just handed empty glasses to take care of.  So this I don't get. If its really grandma inside Georgina, then why is she treated in this way? Simple one really.  In SQL, if I want to search a text field for a couple of characters, I can do:  SELECT blah FROM blah WHERE blah LIKE '%text%'   The documentation for App Engine makes no mention of how to achieve this, but surely it's a common enough problem? Why would Louise telling the Chinese commander about his wife's last words change his mind? In the future in Arrival, the commander says that he changed his mind about going to war with the aliens because Louise called his private number and told him his wife's dying words. My question is what did Louise say to him (like in English) and why did it change his mind? Which is Most TimeMachine-like Backup Program for Ubuntu? I know this  but there is no comparison to OSX's TimeMachine.  I would like to find a backup software which is about the same as TimeMachine or better.  I would like to have such a software which can use some format of HDD which is suitable for big files (50 GB) in Linux.  I noticed that   OSX format of HFS+ is not supported by Linux distros, since no maintainer of HFS in Linux since 2006 NTFS format made by Debian 8.1 is not supported by older Linux distros   If Windows support, good.   Try with the Backups (Deja Dup) software  I did start the backup first time but I wanted to go to lunch after backup was running already two hours of just 10 GB files.  So it gave me this after the lunch    which is really insane, reported now , since the software is not designed to have pauses in doing the backups. How does centering the data get rid of the intercept in regression and PCA? I keep reading about instances where we center the data (e.g., with regularization or PCA) in order to remove the intercept (as mentioned in ). I know it's simple, but I'm having a hard time intuitively understanding this. Could someone provide the intuition or a reference I can read? How to disable Spotify indicator in the top panel? The Spotify indicator icon clashes with the native Unity theme, and is redundant, since it is already listed in the Sound indicator menu. Is there a way to remove or disable the Spotify indicator? Or at least to change the icon (couldn't grep it on my filesystem). I am using the Spotify "preview" with 12.04. Thanks! How to prove a matrix is nilpotent? Given an $n\times n$ upper triangular matrix $A$ with zero on main diagonal, show that $A^n = 0$.   I did some matrix operation and noticed that the diagonal moves up, ultimately all entries will be zero. Is there a nicer way to do it? Does anyone know if there's a way to get an Android phone to reboot into recovery mode, from the Android command line?  Note:  I do NOT have adb access.  I do NOT know the magic power-on sequence to do it from the boot loader. I've tried the common things and nothing works.  I DO have root. (And can enter commands directly on the device using a terminal emulator.)  I know it's possible, somehow, because applications like ROM Manager do it. But how? How does Hextech Crafting work?
