As the shell collapses, the velocities of both Alice and Bob will increase relative to the rods. #Arch linux startx not working freeLet us place two observers, Alice and Bob, on opposite sides of the shell in free fall with it as depicted in the following figure:Īccording to Birkhoff's theorem, the spacetime inside the collapsing shell in Minkowskian and the rods are at rest relative to the collapsing shell. At the beginning of collapse, the radius of the shell is greater than the Schwarzschild radius and we place two rods inside the shell whose rest lengths are the Schwarzschild radius of the shell with one end of each rod placed at the center of the shell. Is there something fundamental that I'm misinterpreting in this argument?Ĭonsider a spherically symmetric shell collapsing toward its Schwarzschild radius. I'm having trouble understanding the flaw in the following argument regarding the length contraction of the Schwarzschild radius in the frame of observers on a collapsing shell. Thank you.Chris Laforet Asks: Length Contraction of the Schwarzschild Radius I will try configuring my xinit file and see if I can get Cinnamon to run better. #Arch linux startx not working how toSDDM always leaves a black screen before it can boot up my DE and I don't know how to fix it, but that's a problem for another day. This is especially problematic on a VM where I don't know how to switch TTYs without switching my host machine to a different TTY instead. I have encountered problems before where some GUI applications refuse to boot up, leaving me with a "black screen of death" that doesn't let me do anything until I restart my computer. This way I would not need a display manager, and I can not only choose what DE/WM I wanted to boot up each session, I can run some extra Zsh commands before I even do any of that. I meant I wanted to have the option to skip running a DE and Xorg in any session and use the command line only, and on other sessions that I wanted to use my desktop, I would use startx to run both Xorg and Cinnamon/any DE. I didn't mean I wanted to be able to "run a DE without Xorg". I just want to know how to load Cinnamon and other desktop environments (I tried i3 and it looks like it didn't even transition from the terminal text to the gui, usually there is a initial setup wizard that appears in graphical form the first time you boot up i3 or when there is no ~/.config/i3/config found.) using startx so I don't have to be limited to a display manager when logging in to my system. When I went to Themes on the gui settings manager, the themes appeared as options, but I couldn't see them in action. This makes it difficult to use the environment. Upon running startx /bin/cinnamon, the desktop boots up and allows me to interact with it, however, many assets, such as themes, backgrounds, icons, and even the cursor (the cursor was invisible but I could still click stuff, this made it difficult to use the desktop) were missing, and the result was either black or transparent space where they were supposed to be. #Arch linux startx not working installI tried to test different display managers to find out which one I was going to install on my computer, and I finally decided I was not going to use one, and I was instead going to use startx to run various window managers/desktop environments, as this means I can choose not to run xorg at all in any particular session if I ever want to. I tried running startx on my Arch Linux virtual machine (using Oracle Virtualbox) to test Arch Linux, and I am making new improvements rapidly. ![]()

![]() ![]() Not all of the Slacker Portable Player's memory is available for transferring your own music-most of it is dedicated to Slacker stations (that is the point, after all). To that end, Slacker provides a contextual soft key that shows up in the playback area to let you reverse through songs. However, you can see how this absence might cause a problem while listening to library tracks. You'll notice that there's no reverse or rewind function, because you can't go backward through a radio station. A home/back key, scroll/select wheel, power/hold switch, and track skip and pause buttons round out the controls on the right edge. The top of the player houses the headphone port and dedicated volume buttons, which aren't in the most ergonomic position because of the size and shape of the device-plan to do some finger stretching to adjust the levels. Just above these are the Ban and Heart buttons, which are used for marking unwanted songs and favorites on the fly. On the left side are the two syncing/charging ports: a standard mini USB for a computer connection and a proprietary port for use with the impending car cradle and other accessories. The Slacker Portable Player's various controls line the edges of the device. Check out our slide show for interface details. However, the interface is straightforward and easy to navigate with the tactile controls. Plus, we often touched it accidentally, which caused various undesirable results (changing stations in the middle of a favorite song). We prefer to leave this feature off as its lack of "swipe" operation-whereby you drag your finger to scroll-makes it less handy. Instead, Slacker includes an optional touch strip along the left edge of the screen. The ample screen is great for displaying album art and other information, though it's a bit counterintuitive that it's not a touch screen, as the large size definitely gives the impression that it would be. It's a hefty (4.2 inches by 2.7 inches by 0.7 inch) device with a face-dominating, 4-inch color LCD (480x272 pixel resolution). The design of the Slacker Portable Player hasn't changed much from the initial beta unit the company had on hand for SXSW 2007. ![]() ![]() InĬertain circumstances, unfortunately, conflicting needs require a specification to violate the In general, specifications interact with and rely on a wide variety of other specifications.

![]() ![]() The 1 kg Silver Panda coin has a face value of 300 Yuan. For instance, the 2014 Gold Panda coin depicts a panda sitting in the grass in front of a row of bamboo trees, holding a branch.Įach Silver Panda coin contains pure 0.999 fine silver. The reverse side depicts different portraits of a panda that change every year (except for 20), the denomination, as well as the coin’s weight and purity. If the issue is a commemorative issue, the theme is to be found on the bottom as well. The Mandarin inscription “Zhonghua Renmin Gongheguo” (“PEOPLE’S REPUBLIC OF CHINA”) is located on top, while the year of issue can be seen on the bottom. ![]() The obverse side of the coin depicts the Hall of Prayer for Good Harvest Temple of Heaven in the center. In some cases, minor variations like the size of the date or the style of the temple reveal where the coin was minted. American coins, Chinese coins don’t normally carry mintmarks indicating their origin. Each year, only 10,000 of these silver coins are being produced and are thus quite difficult to come by. The Silver Panda coin is issued in several different types: uncirculated, proof, gold plated / gilded (either side or both), colored (only obverse side known), privy marked for different distribution (like D for domestic market), and privy marked for commemorative issue (which also can be gold plated). It is available in sizes ¼ oz, ½ oz, 1 oz, 5 oz, 12 oz and 1 kg. The coin is produced in various mints, among them Shenzhen, Shanghai and Shenyang. ![]() Similar to the Gold Panda, the design of the Silver Panda changes very year. No Silver Panda coins were produced in 1986. In 1987, China issued the only Silver Panda coin that was minted from Sterling Silver. The first Silver Panda coin, containing 0.900 fine silver, was issued in 1983. The Chinese Silver Panda is a silver bullion coin produced in the People’s Republic of China. ![]() ![]() The Everwild: The unexplored, uncharted, and mostly dangerous regions of Everlost.įleshie: A skinjacker slang term for a living, breathing human being.

Series: Skinjacker Everwild Neal Shusterman ![]() ![]() ![]() Her Highness Sheikha Moza bint Nasser, chairperson of the global education foundation Education Above All (EAA), who performed a key role in the observance of the third International Day, underlined the importance of using innovative methods learned during the pandemic to reach out to school children, and urged the global community to move the conversation forwards. The military use of schools and universities more than doubled. DRC, Mali, and the State of Palestine were the countries most affected, while Burkina Faso, Colombia, Ethiopia, Myanmar, and Nigeria also witnessing an increase. There were more than 5,000 documented attacks on education between 2020-2021, with more than 9,000 students and educators abducted, arrested, injured, or killed. While highlighting the particular problem of attacks on education across West Africa, he called for three courses of action on a global scale - to enhance advocacy for action to garner political will to underline political commitment, particularly through the establishment of regional coalitions for action so momentum is transformed into action and by mobilising finance, calling on parties to support diverse funding channels and make education a national priority.Īccording to the Global Coalition to Protect Education from Attack (GCPEA), global attacks on education are on the rise, with African countries particularly affected. While citing education as “the most powerful weapon we can use to change the world” and acknowledging that “we cannot eliminate poverty if citizens are uneducated”, the President reminded audiences that “if we do not act now some half of the world’s current population will not have the skills they need” for the future. The President of Ghana, Nana Akufo-Addo, came together with guests at the UNESCO HQ in Paris on Friday 9th September to mark the International Day to Protect Education from Attack, where leaders from the education and development world gathered together to discuss tangible solutions to rising attacks on education.
