I'm on win10 64bit on an ACER laptop and I'm trying to dual boot ubuntu MATE 16.04.3 alongside it. However on startup it still always boots into windows. System info says I'm booting windows in UEFI.   This is what I've done so far:   I have an SSD and HDD, and I started by shrinking around 400GB from my HDD. Then I used rufus with the ubuntu-mate-16.04.3-desktop-amd64.iso to make my USB flash drive a bootable one. I disabled fast boot from my power settings in windows, and I didn't seem to be able to find it in BIOS. In BIOS I have a supervisor password, my settings were set to UEFI on secure boot. I booted from my usb and accidentally chose the install ubuntu option at first and got a file not found error and exited to try again, this time from the try ubuntu option to install ubuntu from there. I connected to my wifi within the live version and ran the install process there. I ticked both boxes for installing updates and third party software. As secure boot was enabled, I entered a password in. I simply chose the install ubuntu alongside windows boot loader option. Then I restarted the laptop from ubuntu once it was done. It didn't boot into ubuntu or give me a choice, going straight to windows. I've tried turning off secure boot and running boot-repair within the live ubuntu running from my usb, as well as moving up my HDD to the top of the boot load order and running the bcedit cmd as suggested by boot-repair. None of these worked! In disk management in windows I now have 3 partitions alongside my windows partition in my HDD replacing the 400GB shrinked unallocated space from the start, however they all say they have 100% free space. Are they supposed to be like that? Maybe I should clear the partitions and reinstall or something?   This is my first go at natively installing anything linux after I've been using them in vms with no problems, except that it ran too slowly.  Edit: I don't believe this is a duplicate as I've got a specific situation that I'm having problems with, and it seems like I've gone through the steps given in that post already.
I'm absolutely new to Linux. I would like to know how to install Ubuntu alongside the pre-installed Windows 8+ OS.  Should I do it with Wubi, or through the Live USB/DVD?  What steps do I need to take to correctly install Ubuntu?
How many physical degrees of freedom does the $\mathrm{SU(N)}$ Yang-Mills theory have? First time player in a group figuring out things as we all go.  I just hit level four as a Ranger, and I get to improve one ability score of my choice by 2, or I can increase two ability scores of my choice by 1.  My first thought was Strength, as I've been rocking a score of 11 with a mod of +0 so far. But I read that Rangers use (wisdom mod + 10) for their spell casting modifier. Currently my wisdom is 13, with a mod of +1. If I increase either STR or WIS, will the modifier increase as well? How and why?  A Monk in our party went from 9 CON to 11 during their ability score improvement, and by doing so their modifier went from −1 to 0.  We're all pretty new, so between eight people we're currently sharing one book, and all trying to locate our own copies for later campaigns. That's making it… inefficient for us to learn these things quickly. I consistently have more than one terminal open. Anywhere from two to ten, doing various bits and bobs. Now let's say I restart and open up another set of terminals. Some remember certain things, some forget.  I want a history that:   Remembers everything from every terminal Is instantly accessible from every terminal (eg if I ls in one, switch to another already-running terminal and then press up, ls shows up) Doesn't forget command if there are spaces at the front of the command.

How do I get label of the selected item from a lightning:select drop down list? I would like to get the value of the label of the selected drop down item.  In this case, the label is the Name of the Contact.  &lt;aura:component&gt;  &lt;aura:attribute name="contacts" type="Contact[]"/&gt;  &lt;lightning:select label="Contact" aura:id="contactList" name="contactList"&gt;     &lt;aura:iteration items="{!v.contacts}" var="c" indexVar="index"&gt;        &lt;option value="{!c.Id}"&gt;{!c.Name}&lt;/option&gt;    &lt;/aura:iteration&gt;  &lt;/lightning:select&gt;  &lt;/aura:component&gt;   I know how to get the value:  component.find("contactList").get("v.value");   But how do I get the label? How to prove that if $\forall x \in (a,b)$ Lebesgue integral $\int_{(a,x)}fd\lambda=0$, then $f(x)=0$ $\lambda$-almost everywhere? Let $f:(a,b)\rightarrow\mathbb{R}$.  The statement to prove is that if $\forall x \in (a,b)$ Lebesgue integral $\int_{(a,x)}fd\lambda=0$, then $f(x)=0$ $\lambda$-almost everywhere.  So if it wouldn't be true then we would have $\forall x \in (a,b):\int_{(a,x)}f_+d\lambda=\int_{(a,x)}f_-d\lambda\neq0$, so every interval contains positive and negative values of the function. It is  such an $f$ so my guess would be that this function is not Lebesgue measurable and we can't take this integral.  Thanks in advance! What does this phrase from The adventures of Tom Sawyer sentence mean: "True, the knife would not cut anything, but it was a "sure-enough" Barlow, and there was inconceivable grandeur in that -- though where the Western boys ever got the idea that such a weapon could possibly be counterfeited to its injury is an imposing mystery and will always remain so, perhaps."  Thank you! My &quot;hat&quot; is shown twice in my answer, once in my sig, and again above. MacOS 10.14.6; Safari Version 14.0.2 (14610.3.7.1.10) Movie about hostile robots disguised as footballs I saw this on TV in mid 90s I think. One or more people travel to another celestial body (might or might not be the/a moon or mars), they find an American football. The football transforms into a robot that is hostile. They later find LOTS of these footballs/disguised robots.  Since there are lots of robotic projects with "football robots" or " robots", it is very hard to filter search results using Google etc. I'm wondering how can I simulate a sample of n Weibull distribution lifetimes that include Type I right-censored observations. For instance lets have the n = 3, shape = 3, scale = 1 and the censoring rate = .15, and the censoring time = .88.  I know how to generate a Weibull sample but I do not know how to generate a censored data that have type I right-censored in R.  T = rweibull(3, shape=.5, scale=1) How can I find the name of a Package? Application-priority based automatic bandwidth distribution in Windows? Whenever my browser wants to download data, I want it to be granted as much of the bandwidth as it wants, while other applications must do with the leftover bandwidth; and when the browser is not transferring any data, other applications could be given the bandwidth. Something like the process priority in Windows task manager. Any method/software to accomplish this automatically? Send email using the GMail SMTP server from a PHP page Why the definition of limit have a strict inequality rather than not?

I want to make a large purchase at a retail store to the sum of $10,000 but the credit limit on my card is set at $2000.  If I send $10K to my credit card will the purchase be allowed to go through?  Not sure if the credit limit is a hard limit or not?  I don't want to be left embarrassed if my card is declined in the store lol.  I called my bank but the answer they gave wasn't too convincing.
