          i suspect that you looking for the following:



          enter image description here

usepackage{amsmath,amssymb}

            [ and ] are delimiters for math environment (equivalent for begin{equation*} and end{equation}. with setlengthextrarowheight{1pt} is added vertical space of 1pt above cells' contents. you can omit this space, if you like to have more dense text in tabular.

          Here's a solution that uses a single array environment.



          enter image description here



          documentclass{article}
          
usepackage{amsmath,array}
          
newcolumntype{L}{>{$}l<{$}}
          
begin{document}
          
[
          
Q_r=frac{W}{gammatimes t} qquadtext{where}qquad
          
begin{array}[t]{@{} r<{colon} L @{}}
          
   W      & Weight \
          
   gamma & Specific weight\
          
   t      & Average time
          
end{array}
          
]
          
end{document}

            I read this post and got this



            documentclass[10pt,letterpaper]{report}
            
usepackage[utf8]{inputenc}
            
usepackage{amsmath,amsfonts,amssymb}
            
begin{document}
            
begin{tabular}{rcl}
            
$Q_r=dfrac{W}{gamma times t}$& where & begin{tabular}{rl}
            
&\
            
&\
            
$W$:&Weight\
            
$gamma$:&Specific weight\
            
$t$:&Average time
            
end{tabular}
            
end{tabular}
            
end{document}


            But this creates a space above the table. I could add a vspace{-0.5cm} before the table.

            • The reason for the whitespace above the tabular environment is that the tabular environment comprises 5 rather than just 3 rows, with the first two rows being left empty. Assuming you wanted to keep using nested tabular environments, the best way to get rid of the unwanted whitespace is to replace both instances of begin{tabular} with begin{tabular}[t], i.e., to require top-alignment, and to get rid of the two blank rows. Do note that you don't actually need the "outer" tabular environment. Just encase formula and its legend in a display-math environment.

                Here's a solution that uses a single array environment.



                enter image description here



                documentclass{article}
                
usepackage{amsmath,array}
                
newcolumntype{L}{>{$}l<{$}}
                
begin{document}
                
[
                
Q_r=frac{W}{gammatimes t} qquadtext{where}qquad
                
begin{array}[t]{@{} r<{colon} L @{}}
                
   W      & Weight \
                
   gamma & Specific weight\
                
   t      & Average time
                
end{array}

                    I read this post and got this



                    documentclass[10pt,letterpaper]{report}

begin{tabular}{rcl}
                    
$Q_r=dfrac{W}{gamma times t}$& where & begin{tabular}{rl}
                    
&\

$W$:&Weight\
                    
$gamma$:&Specific weight\
                    
$t$:&Average time
                    
end{tabular}
                    
end{tabular}
                    
end{document}


                    But this creates a space above the table. I could add a vspace{-0.5cm} before the table.

                    • The reason for the whitespace above the tabular environment is that the tabular environment comprises 5 rather than just 3 rows, with the first two rows being left empty. Assuming you wanted to keep using nested tabular environments, the best way to get rid of the unwanted whitespace is to replace both instances of begin{tabular} with begin{tabular}[t], i.e., to require top-alignment, and to get rid of the two blank rows. Do note that you don't actually need the "outer" tabular environment. Just encase formula and its legend in a display-math environment.

                    flock() on closed filehandle LOCK_FILE at /usr/bin/apt-mirror

                    Image
                    0 I recently upgraded an Ubuntu 16.04 virtual machine to 18.04. I regularly use this VM to run apt-mirror at school on their high-speed internet, then rsync these files to my rack-mount server at home for updating multiple computers at home without wasting the tiny amount of bandwidth I have there. Since updating I can't get apt-mirror to run on my VM. It keeps giving the error: flock() on closed filehandle LOCK_FILE at /usr/bin/apt-mirror line 214 immediately followed by: apt-mirror is already running, exiting at /usr/bin/apt-mirror line 217 apt-mirror is NOT running, and does not have a cron job. I've tried rebooting, and even looked for the old-style lockfile to delete, but I guess that method is no longer used. Is there some way to force unlock this so I can run apt-mirror? UPDATE: So... I f...
