Here is the picture of my problem. I cannot boot my laptop and cannot log on to the ubuntu screen. I have serious problems as I have copied the wrong info on the data recovery through Test disk.



What actually happened:
1) Used testdisk and backed up 2 files. 1 file was not imoportant. Now the hard drive space is now completely full. I tried so many sources on Askubuntu and google but still no help.
2) Keep showing black screen with "_" flashing - The link that I uploaded is here.



Please help, cannot sleep until its done. Very important files including family and work is here.
Now my screen keeps blinking: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BN4twl0V8JQ
Thanks

    As I've already suggested, you must unmount the partition first, but it's easier to just boot a 'live' system (such as install media) and run fsck from there (as your live [dvd or thumb-drive] will be mounted & your disk partitions unmounted allowing fsck to proceed)

  • @guiverc How can I do this in a detailed step by step? I don't know how to unmount this. It is very confusing. I really appreaciate your time for your help.

  • If you don't know how to do it (you just execute the umount command, but the moment you do that you've lost access to the fsck command you want to execute next, so.... [long & complicated]), which is why I suggested booting a 'live' medium (such as Ubuntu install media), as it saves loads of command, plus is far less prone to error (thus safer for your data)

Ellipse (mathématiques)

Pour les articles homonymes, voir Ellipse. L'ellipse est le lieu des points dont la somme des distances à deux points fixes, dits foyers, est constante. Section du cône ou projection du cercle. En géométrie, une ellipse est une courbe plane fermée obtenue par l’intersection d’un cône de révolution avec un plan, à condition que celui-ci coupe l'axe de rotation du cône ou du cylindre : c'est une conique d'excentricité strictement comprise entre 0 et 1. On peut également la définir comme le lieu des points dont la somme des distances à deux points fixes, dits foyers, est constante (sa construction par la méthode du jardinier est très simple). Dans la vie courante, l’ellipse est la forme qu'on perçoit en regardant un cercle en perspective, ou la figure formée par l’ombre d'un disque sur une surface plane. On retrouve aussi, en première approximation [ 1 ] , des ellipses dans les trajectoires des corps célestes (planètes, comètes ou satellites arti...

Quarter-circle Tiles

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 ...
