E: Sub-process /usr/bin/dpkg returned an error code (1) – but how do I find the meaningful error messages in APT’s output?

I have encountered various package management problems that cause APT commands to fail with output that ends with this line:

E: Sub-process /usr/bin/dpkg returned an error code (1)

Occasionally other error codes may appear such as 100 which means dpkg is not there, but 1 is the most common error code.

Unfortunately this error code tells me almost nothing about what actually caused the error or how I should solve it. Almost every package management issue I see, regardless of its cause or solution, produces the same error!

So, where will I find the useful part of the output, which I can search for online or ask questions about on Ask Ubuntu?

No DispalyPort option in audio output device menu, Nvidia Drivers

I can’t get my DisplayPort-connected monitor (AW2518HF, external speakers connected) to show up on this drop-down menu: Settings > Sound > Output > Output Device.

I’ve opened Nvidia X Server Settings and can assure that DP Audio is enabled. Additionally, I booted Windows 7 and was able to select it and play sound just fine.

I’m using a GTX 750 (EVGA; they added a DP port in their version) with the 418 driver installed from Software & Updates on Ubuntu 19.04.

Here’s aplay -l

I my system sound ouput is not working in all the ports.I check sudo apt -get update it shows like this.What i need to do for the output sound?

sudo apt-get update

Can’t read process output with cat and tail

I have a simple example of writing to stdout:

import datetime import time   if __name__ == '__main__':      while True:         print('time is {}'.format(datetime.datetime.now().time()))         time.sleep(5)

Then I did:

python main.py & echo $  !

to run my process and get its PID.

My purpose is reading from stdout of my current process above, but all of these commands just freeze console and don’t show stdout content

sudo tail -f /proc/15608/fd/1my console sudo cat /proc/15608/fd/1

Notice strace works perfectly:

sudo strace -e write=1 -e trace=write -p 15608

But it gives me too much useless text.

My question: why don’t cat (and tail) work properly and freeze my console? Could somebody explain me why it happens?

HDMI (DP-3) no output 2560×1600 59-60Hz in Ubuntu 19.04

There’s no HDMI (which is DP-3 in xrandr) output on 2560×1600 59Hz or 60Hz in Ubuntu 19.04.
Whether I try it with intel or the nvidia chip, the output is limited to 30Hz. Please note that 2560×1600 with 60Hz is working fine in Windows 10 with the same cable and monitor.

Adding custom modes with xrandr on 60Hz won’t work. Changing configuration won’t work. However things will work as long as I keep the 30Hz setting with the custom xrandr setting.

Please help with this issue, or please help me file a bug with this. This should work out of the box.

Wrong output with OPEdefs

I learn how to use the package OPEdefs.m to compute the OPEs in Mathematica. I practiced some commands along the manual (DOI: 10.1142/S0129183191001001). In section 3, explicit examples for a Kac-Moody algebra are given. After loading the package, I tried as written in the manual

Bosonic[J[i_]] Fermionic[psi[i_]]

as well as 

OPE[J[i_],J[i_]][z_, w_]:= -k/2 (z - w)^-2 + Ord[z,w,0] OPE[J[1], J[2]][z_, w_] := J[3][w] (z - w)^-1 + Ord[z, w, 0] OPE[J[2], J[3]][z_, w_] := J[1][w] (z - w)^-1 + Ord[z, w, 0] OPE[J[1], J[3]][z_, w_] := -J[2][w] (z - w)^-1 + Ord[z, w, 0]

Then I defined the stress-tensor as

T = -1/(k + 2) (NO[J[1], J[1]] + NO[J[2], J[2]] + NO[J[3], J[3]]);

to compute

Simplify[OPE[T, J[1]][z, w]]

So far everything goes along the manual. However, the output was

-J[2][w]/(z-w) + O[z-w]^0

different from the right result:

J[1][w](-w+z)^-2 + (J[1]')[w](-w+z)^-1 + O[-w+z]^0

Seemingly, the OPE between J[1] and J[3] is wrongly output. I also tested

OPE[J[1], J[2]][z, w]

, but even its output was -J[2][w]/(z-w) + O[z-w]^0. I have no idea of what goes wrong.

The version of my Mathematica is 11.3.

How do I select a USB drive folder for an application output?

I’m attempting to install a new app on an Ubuntu 18.04 system. I want to redirect the files outputted to a USB drive, rather than on my SSD.

eg:

 /var/snap/sabnzbd/common/Downloads/incomplete

to

 31 gb /Downloads/incomplete

(where 31 GB) is the ubuntu assigned name of the USB drive.

I KNOW this MUST be awfully silly sounding question, but I am a TOTAL nube

I am looking for an algorithm that can find the best possible combination of inputs, in order to determine the optimum output

So as the title poorly implies, I’m looking for an algorithm that can accomplish the following task (as an example):

Given the inputs A(1:100), B(1:100), C(1:100), that can take on any value between 1 to 100.

Given the outputs X, Y, Z, which are determined by a combination of the inputs eg:

A=2, B=3,C=4, returns X=76, Y=87, Z=34

A=5,B=1,C=100 returns X=52, Y=45, Z=24 etc.

The problem is, I have no clue how the inputs affect the outputs and so id like to find an algorithm of some sort that can try out various combinations of inputs in a logical manner (not randomly) to find the optimal output or get as close as possible to said optimum output, which in my case is finding the highest possible valued combination of X,Y,Z so best case scenario is finding a set of inputs that return 100, 100, 100 as the XYZ values.

If anyone has any idea how I could approach this or if a question like this has already been answered, I appreciate any and all help.

Thank you!
