I have just purchased a solid adata su650 hard drive. I try to install Ubuntu 18.10 without success.  When starting the installation process and after creating the user, the installer stops and sends a message that verifies the usb or the disk.  I checked that AHCI in BIOS is enabled by default.  The motherboard is Asrock H61M-VG3.  If more information is needed, please let me know.  Thank you  Update 1: Error message  The installer encountered an error copying files to the hard disk:  [Errno 5] Input/Output error  This is often due to a faulty CD/DVD disk or drive, or a faulty HD....  At the console area messages like  SQUASHFS error: squashfs_read_data failed to read block XXXXXXX SQUASHFS error: zlib decompresion failed, data probably corrupt SQUASHFS error: squashfs_read_data failed to read block XXXXXXX ...   Update 2: Solution  In the end it turned out to be a problem with the usb stick. After acquiring a new usb stick and making it bootable the process concluded as excpected.  Thank you all for the comments
Today I downloaded Ubuntu for my laptop. It runs great from a bootable USB, but when I tried to install it, I got the following error message: The installer encountered an error copying files to the hard disk:  [Errno 5] Input/output error  This is often due to a faulty CD/DVD disk or drive, or a faulty hard    disk. It may help to clean the CD/DVD, to burn the CD/DVD at a lower   speed, to clean the CD/DVD drive lens (cleaning kits are often    available from electronics suppliers), to check whether the hard disk   is old and in need of replacement, or to move the system to a cooler   environment.     I tried everything to install it on my laptop including redownloading the Ubuntu ISO image, but nothing worked.
pkgloader is not finding l3regex I would like to try a package which seems interesting, but it some dependencies are not satisfied.   Here is my minimal example:  \documentclass{article}  \usepackage{pkgloader} \LoadPackagesNow  \begin{document}     pckloader trial \end{document}   And I get the following error: ! LaTeX Error: File 'l3regex.sty' not found.. Therefore, I tried to update my distribution with the linux commands  tlmgr update --self tlmgr update --all   But the package l3regex is still not foundable. Plus, my computer is not lying since l3regex.sty is not in my folder /texmf-dist/tex/latex/*.  So, is it something normal ? How can I workaround this problem ? "Print" and "ui.Label" return different strings in console and in the UI in Google Earth Engine I am working on a variable label in Google Earth Engine and noticed that the label as printed in the console is not the same as the label shown on the map.

Class method differences in Python: bound, unbound and static What is the difference between the following class methods?  Is it that one is static and the other is not?  class Test(object):   def method_one(self):     print "Called method_one"    def method_two():     print "Called method_two"  a_test = Test() a_test.method_one() a_test.method_two() We are familiar with the nifty fact that given the Fibonacci series $F_n = 0, 1, 1, 2, 3, 5, 8,\dots$ then $0.0112358\dots\approx 1/89$. In fact,  $$\sum_{n=0}^{\infty}\frac{F_n}{10^n} = \frac{10}{89}$$  How do we prove that, more generally, for $p &gt; 1$ then,  $$\sum_{n=0}^{\infty}\frac{F_n}{p^n} = \frac{p}{p^2-p-1}$$  (The above simply was the case $p = 10$.)

Creating random numbers with no duplicates Windows Media Player 12 shows wrong cover art when playing ETS() function, how to avoid forecast not in line with historical data? I am working on an alogorithm in R to automatize a monthly forecast calculation. I am using, among others, the ets() function from the forecast package to calculate forecast. It is working very well.  Unfortunately, for some specific time series, the result I get is weird.  Please, find below the code i am using :  train_ts&lt;- ts(values, frequency=12) fit2&lt;-ets(train_ts, model="ZZZ", damped=TRUE, alpha=NULL, beta=NULL, gamma=NULL,              phi=NULL, additive.only=FALSE, lambda=TRUE,              lower=c(0.0001,0.0001,0.0001,0.8),upper=c(0.9999,0.9999,0.9999,0.98),              opt.crit=c("lik","amse","mse","sigma","mae"), nmse=3,              bounds=c("both","usual","admissible"), ic=c("aicc","aic","bic"),             restrict=TRUE)   ets &lt;- forecast(fit2,h=forecasthorizon,method ='ets')      Please, you will find below the concerned history data set :   values &lt;- c(27, 27, 7, 24, 39, 40, 24, 45, 36, 37, 31, 47, 16, 24, 6, 21,  35, 36, 21, 40, 32, 33, 27, 42, 14, 21, 5, 19, 31, 32, 19, 36,  29, 29, 24, 42, 15, 24, 21)   Here, on the graph, you will see the historical data (black), the fitted value (green) and the forecast(blue). The forecast is definitely not in lines with the fitted value.  Do you have any idea on how to "bound" the forecat to be "in line" with the historical sales?

Proof of $a^n+b^n$ divisible by $a+b$ when $n$ is odd I read somewhere that     $(a^n - b^n)$         It is always divisible by $a-b$.   When $n$ is even it is also divisible by $a+b$.   When $n$ is odd it is not divisible by $a+b$.      and     $(a^n + b^n)$         It is never divisible by $a-b$.   When $n$ is odd it is divisible by $a+b$.   When $n$ is even it is not divisible by $a+b$.      I wonder what's the proof for this.  First postulate is clear. $(a-b)$ would or would not be a factor. Any light on others? Sometimes when I write, for example, "the boundaries of segments", I am suggested to use "segments' boundaries" or even "segment boundaries".   Or "the page's content" vs. "the content of the page" vs. "the page content". Then I would like to know is it always preferred to use phrases with apostrophe or adjective?  For example      In our terms, they are mainly textual elements within the page content, which serve as the starting point  of a data region (or a data region's starting point ?)  or a distinctive feature within it Please let me know how to change the size of the camera view. The red dotted line of the square is too small for me. Often I see code blocks pasted into questions with no formatting, or terrible formatting.  It's sometimes quite a chore to fix these: you have to either manually space out each line, or paste the code into an IDE, format it there, and paste it back.  Could we have a button/function where you could highlight a code block, and it would turn this:  foreach (var i in stuff) { if (i==1) { Whatever(); } }   into this:  foreach (var i in stuff) {   if (i==1) {     Whatever();   } }   I realise the function would have to work differently based on the language in the code block. Perhaps  it could use the same rules as the prettify code.  Also, it wouldn't be a big deal if it gets the language wrong and breaks the code, since you can always just ctrl+z.
