similar to: Creating a Guest from an ISO

http://ppa.launchpad.net/ubuntu-wine/ppa/ubuntu/pool/main/w/wine1.3/ I recently tried to install the Latest .29 WINE from the PPA and it ended up using the .15 version from the official Ubuntu 11.10 Repository instead. Although it doesn't matter for .29 (as it has a bug that has since been fixed), I would like to know if we'll be expecting a package on the PPA for the next version, I

Hi, is it possible to convert a bootable raw hdd image including grub (originally created with grml-debootstrap) to a bootable iso somehow? Cheers, adrelanos

Is there an analogue of common lisp "*" variable which contains the value of the last expression? E.g., in lisp: > (+ 1 2) 3 > * 3 I wish I could recover the value of the last expression without re-evaluating it. thanks -- Sam Steingold (http://sds.podval.org/) on Ubuntu 11.10 (oneiric) X 11.0.11004000 http://www.childpsy.net/ http://camera.org http://ffii.org

This is a post I just added to my Ubuntu R Blog (http://www.personal.psu.edu/mar36/blogs/the_ubuntu_r_blog/2013/03/moving-to-r-300-on-ubuntu.html). As you may (or may not) be aware of, R 3.0.0 is [scheduled to be released](http://www.r-project.org/) on April 3rd. Since this is a major release and there may be some growing pains (but I hope not) in the move 3.0.0, here is some information

Hi, At the begining i would like to appologize for my English. My system : Release: Ubuntu 11.10 64 (oneiric) GNOME: 2.32.1 (Ubuntu 2011-04-14) Kernel: 3.0.0-17-generic (#30-Ubuntu SMP Thu Mar 8 20:45:39 UTC 2012) My Hardware: CPU: Intel(R) Core(TM) i5-2410M CPU @ 2.30GHz Memory: 3873 MiB GPU1: Intel (propably) i915 GPU2: NVidia Optimus GT525M Wine 1.5.1 After few minutes (5 - 20 min) of

suppose I have two factor vectors: x <- as.factor(c("a","b","a","c","b","c")) y <- as.factor(c("b","a","a","c","c","b")) I can compute their entropies: entropy(table(x)) [1] 1.098612 using library(entropy) but it is not clear how to compute their mutual information

I just got this error: > library(igraph) > comp <- decompose.graph(gr) Error: protect(): protection stack overflow Error: protect(): protection stack overflow > what can I do? the digraph is, indeed, large (300,000 vertexes), but there are very many very small components (which I would rather not discard). PS. the doc for decompose.graph does not say which mode is the default. --

I tried installing "rgl" package which is needed for Rcmdr to work properly but I always some problem.

Since R has the same namespace for functions and variables, > c <- 1 kills the global function, which can be restored by > c <- get("c",mode="function") Is there a way to prevent R from overriding globals or at least warning when I do that or at least warning when I replace a functional value with non-functional? thanks. -- Sam Steingold (http://sds.podval.org/)

Hi, batch is a vector of lines returned by readLines from a NL-line-terminated file, here is the relevant section: ========================================================= AA BB CC DD EE FF GG H H JJ KK LL MM ========================================================= as you can see, a line is corrupt; two CRLF's are inserted. This is okay, I drop the bad lines, at least I hope I do:

I am sure a common need is to plot a scatterplot with some fitted line(s) and maybe save to a file. I have this: plot.glm <- function (x, y, file = NULL, xlab = deparse(substitute(x)), ylab = deparse(substitute(y)), main = NULL) { m <- glm(y ~ x) if (!is.null(file)) pdf(file = file) plot(x, y, xlab = xlab, ylab = ylab, main = main) lines(x, y =

Package: logcheck Version: 1.3.14 Severity: normal I added a local.rules file to ignore.d.server and then ran logcheck. The file was not used during the run. Renaming it to local-rules got the file used during the next run. Fix: periods should be allowed in filenames, or the fact that they are forbidden expressly documented inteh logcheck README.

Suppose I have a vector of strings: c("A1B2","A3C4","B5","C6A7B8") [1] "A1B2" "A3C4" "B5" "C6A7B8" where each string is a sequence of <column><value> pairs (fixed width, in this example both value and name are 1 character, in reality the column name is 6 chars and value is 2 digits). I need to

I did this: nb <- naiveBayes(users, platform) pl <- predict(nb,users) nrow(users) ==> 314781 ncol(users) ==> 109 1. naiveBayes() was quite fast (~20 seconds), while predict() was slow (tens of minutes). why? 2. the predict results were completely off the mark (quite the opposite of the expected overfitting). suffice it to show the tables: pl: android blackberry ipad

I have just build an arm chroot and I imagine others might be interested on how to do it. First you need to install qemu. Follow the instructions on http://wiki.debian.org/QemuUserEmulation. I had some problems compiling for x86_64, so I just edited qemu's configure to compile for i686. Now run debootstrap: debootstrap --foreign --arch arm sid your_chroot_dir http://ftp.debian.org/debian

I've got Ubuntu 11.10 Oneiric, installed Wine (now version 1.3.28), several programs run well, but one program asks a javascript in the Wine Internet Explorer. How can I insert/install a javascript for the Wine Internet Explorer, as I cannot open Extra-Options (there is nothing like this) or Page Options? That is my question, thanks and please advise
