Ubuntu Server Bionic Beaver non-graphical change resolution

I'm trying to change the resolution of my ubuntu server. sadly all tutorials seem to be doing it by using xrandr which tells me "can't open display" since i'm using the non-graphical version.



I also tried editing the /etc/default/grub file by adding



GRUB_GFXMODE=1152x864x32

GRUB_GFXPAYLOAD_LINUX=keep


followed by sudo update-grub
Sadly this does nothing to change my resolution. :<






grub2 18.04

  • did you reboot after the update? you have a monitor connected to your server or are sshing in?

            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?

            Image
            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
