Set xHCI to Smarto auto

I've been trying all day to get this done, but it looks like there's no way of doing it.



I have a HDD that has USB 3.0. It is working, as it used to work with a laptop that is no longer working (bye bye Lenovo), but it is not recognized in my old laptop HP Pavillion dv5, which I am currently using. I really need to access the data that are in it, and only a small portion of it is being used: and I could really use some of its room right now.



This afternoon I tried to access it with Windows vista, but I cannot find the right driver for it. At some point I read that with Vista and Windows 7 it is ok to just set the xHCI to auto or Smart auto from BIOS; so I tried to access the BIOS, but apparently there is no way I can access the advanced options, for BIOS InsydeH2O Rev. 3.5 doesn't seem to allow it (or anyway it does not allow it to me, I tried typing Alt+F10 as some people claim to get it to work this way, but it doesn't).



So I thought... is there maybe a way that I can change this option from Ubuntu? I'm no expert on this matter, but if you could help that would be very much appreciated.

How to change which sound is reproduced for terminal bell?

Image
3 Recently upgrade to 18.10 from 18.04, and using the terminal is becoming annoying: the new alert sound is a drip ( /usr/share/sounds/gnome/default/alerts/drip.ogg ), and the previous one is still located at ( /usr/share/sounds/ubuntu/stereo/bell.ogg ). My issue is that at the gnome-terminal, when autocompleting or pressing left BOTH sounds are reproduced, at the same time. I want to just have ubuntu/stereo/bell.ogg active, not both . At the moment I have been only able to reduce the volume of the alerts (but still both are played), or turn the alerts down (but I dislike both "solutions"). gnome-terminal 18.10 teminal-bell share | improve this question

Title Spacing in Bjornstrup Chapter, Removing Chapter Number From Contents

Image
up vote 5 down vote favorite 2 I would like to make it so that the vertical space below the title of each chapter is the same when using the Bjornstrup package (i.e. so that the descenders do not affect the spacing - as shown by the red arrow in the picture below). I think I'm fairly happy with the spacing around "A chapter", so I'd really like titles without descenders (e.g. "Contents") to have the same vertical spacing as "A chapter" below the title. I would also like to remove the large "0" in the contents title. Any help appreciated, as always. documentclass[11pt,a4paper]{book} % Packages[![enter image description here][1]][1] usepackage[left=3.5cm, right=3.5cm, top=4.3cm, bottom=4.25cm]{geometry} usepackage[utf8]{inputenc} usepackage{libertine} usepackage[libertine]{newtx

Can I use Tabulator js library in my java Spring + Thymeleaf project?

Image
0 I want to add Tabulator js to my java project. I added tabulator.min.js, tabulator.min.css to resources folder. After that added to my html page these dependencies as recommending in readme.md. <link rel="stylesheet" th:href="@{/css/tabulator.min.css}"> <script type="text/javascript" th:src="@{/js/tabulator.min.js}"></script> Now my tables view all elements, that I have in the html page, but not correct. In the documentation of Tabulator is example how to create header and table, var table = new Tabulator("#example-table", { columns:[ {title:"Name", field:"name", sorter:"string", width:200, editor:true}, {title:"Age", field:"age", sorter:"
