          Nothing to stop you taking your closet as long as it fits in a suitcase or box which fits within the size and weight limits of the airline.



          But unless it is a special design or a piece of furniture that has a high personal value, I would not bother. Better take those things you can not buy where you go and do not pay for extra luggage, (but that is my view rather than fact.)

          Buying a new closet or having your current one send to you will likely be cheaper for a long stay, and for a short stay you can likely do without the closet or buy a cheap alternative (maybe second hand.)



          Based on the comments a warning:
          Having that many steel tubes in your luggage may mean that it will be checked extra. Often that is by opening the case and having a look, likely with a dog trained to smell explosives near. It can also 'just' be a different scanner and an electronic device to check for explosives.

            Agreed. If the asker is travelling for a short time, they can surely do without their closet; if they're travelling for a long time, there are probably better things to bring with them and they can buy a new closet on arrival, if they find they need it at all. 20 steel tubes sounds like it would take up a lot of the baggage allowance and excess baggage fees are usually higher than the cost of posting the item.

          Mouse cursor on multiple screens with different PPI

          Image
          24 6 I'm using a 4K display along with a Full HD display with both almost the same physical size and it brings some mouse cursor problems to me working with it on the default Windows settings. As the mouse movement speed depends on the pixels, it's very slow on the 4K display and very fast on the Full HD display. Is there a windows setting or application to move the mouse depending on the visible distance and not the pixels? Another problem is the virtual wall between the screens I can't move the cursor from the upper half of the 4K screen to the Full HD screen: How is it possible to virtually stretch the cursor transition area of the Full HD screen to the one of the 4K monitor? The smallest problem, nevertheless painful, is the cursor size which varies between the screens. Is there a way ...

          0 Sometime, when I try to access some menu (may be inside an application or desktop, doesn't matter), I got the following error. The menu and submenu disappear for a while. After that, I can continue using the system. And the lspci gave me the following output: $ lspci -k | grep -EA3 'VGA|3D|Display' 00:02.0 VGA compatible controller: Intel Corporation Haswell-ULT Integrated Graphics Controller (rev 0b) DeviceName: Onboard IGD Subsystem: Dell Haswell-ULT Integrated Graphics Controller Kernel driver in use: i915 unity compiz error-handling share | improve this question edited Mar 5 at 16:09 ...
