So, I am using XUbuntu 18.04 version, inside Oracle Virtual Box 5.2.18. Now, whenever I press CTRL+L, it gives me a prompt saying it's going to switch to seamless mode, but I want my terminal to clear itself.



Any help? I am using Windows 10 as my host OS.

Please comment if you need any other information?

          Either configure Virtual Box shortcut keys, or use command clear in terminal.



          Edit (or elaboration): The shortcut which I was using to clear the screen was Right Ctrl + L, but Right Ctrl key is by default the Host Key for Virtual Box, that's why it was clearing the screen, in fact, it was giving me some other Virtual Box options. Now if I press Left Ctrl + L, I am able to clear the screen.



          But if you don't want to use Left Ctrl key, you can configure your Host Key and other type of shortcut keys according to your preferences by going to Virtual Box's File -> Preferences -> Input -> Virtual Machine option .



          I changed my host key to Right Shift which I rarely use for normal shortcuts.

                    Quarter-circle Tiles

                    Image
                    up vote 0 down vote favorite I have $99$ identical square tiles, each with a quarter-circle drawn on it like this: [asy] size(1.5cm); draw(Arc((2,0),1,90,180),red+1); draw((0,0)--(2,0)--(2,2)--(0,2)--(0,0)); [/asy] When I arrange the tiles in a $9times 11$ rectangular grid, each with a random orientation, what is the expected value of the number of full circles I form? I think this problem has to do with finding the chance any given 2x2 square has a circle, but I can't find it. expected-value share | cite | improve this question asked Nov 20 at 15:03 6minecraftninja 1 2

                    build a pushdown automaton that recognizes the reverse language of a given pushdown automaton?

                    0 I think it's similiar to NFAs. I replace the finite states of the given automaton for start-states for my new automaton. I do it with $epsilon$ -transition from the start state to the actual finite states of the given automaton. The start state of the given automaton will be my accepting(finite) state of my new one. All transitions will be reversed of course to recognize the reversed word. But how do I have to change the stack of the pushdown automaton? That's tricky. formal-languages automata context-free-grammar share | cite | improve this question edited Nov 29 '18 at 14:20 joee
