I want to preseed an Ubuntu 12.04 installer using a custom partitioning recipe. My disk layout is reasonably complex, and so is the recipe syntax itself. Hand-crafting such a recipe seems tedious and error prone.
Is there a tool to simply create a recipe from an existing disk, including its part...
er... apparently other badges not: "The original author still gets badges based on community posts."
but in any case, why should you negate any kind of compensation to the one answering a question even if the answers is not their... there isn't a rule that says that you should, but if people don't feel right to take someone's work they can convert theirs in CW
Earlier today, I was pointed towards a bunch of question that were duplicated one of the other. But while reviewing the stuff linked to the question I noticed that most of those questions don't have the enough elements to qualify as exact duplicate of the question they were linked to. This is rat...
@Braiam but duplicates that have the same answer as the opened question on the same topic should be duplicates. I mean if the answer works on the "original" dupe that is open then they should be closed to it...
@Alvar and who can tell that that answer helped op? who can tell that that will work? that the questions have the same answer doesn't mean they are duplicates
I can answer thousand of boot question with a method to install correctly the grub, but that doesn't mean that every of them is a exact duplicate. I answer several of "dependencies couldn't be met" of dpkg/apt questions and each of them has different solutions
I don't think that's correct. If the question and answer applies on another question then the other question should be closed as a dupe. but yes it needs to be specific questions, and those who aren't can be closed as unclear.
Today i kept correcting questions where capital "i" were used a lot, like every 2 lines. Now could somebody explain to me if this is a StackExchange glitch, users asking questions on mobile, a joke or whatever?
My system (12.04 Ubuntu LTS) is auto-mounting as read only and I have no idea why.

@ThomasW. around to rant for a bit? someone is telling me that the release team is a bunch of monkeys that know nothing about the packages shipped in the live cd
@Braiam me ranting right now results in the equivalent wrath of mine equal in strength to a nuclear bomb launched at them. best to not let me rant.
Having said this, upvote my meta answer, on that meta from AUM, because they were asking about the English language, and I answered their question. With the help of the English Language and Usage people. :)
@Braiam I'm not a release expert. I've forwarded this to #ubuntu-release on IRC and asked for someone on the release team to respond to it, or write a response that I can quote.
/me is a bug triager, not a release team member
although I do talk with release team members quite often.
Upon assuring the answer can be found in the already present answers, and not pertaining for example to the specific user cases; we could close that question and send them a pm containing the link to the answer. Maybe programmatically. Idea?
Anyone has a solution to the bulk of "overheating" and "...
@Braiam Colin Watson, who's a lot higher up on the dev chain than you, me, or the other mere plebs on the site, responded to Radu's comment. That should put the argument to rest.
@jrg In the off chance Radu keeps up his argument with Braiam or the experts on this post can you issue a temporary comment ban on him for being anti-civil and attempting to keep an argument going?
(basically, can you and the other mods watch this like a hawk for a few days)
@Braiam that user is asking for opinions rather than facts, and this is expressed in the last part of his question that ends with "IYO" which means "in your opinion" and the use of calificatives subjectives like best and recommend
On lubuntu, there is a program that gives a list of all other programs and lets you execute. Is there an equivalent program in Ubuntu (not Unity, a stand alone program.) The reason I am wondering is it would be wonderful to ssh using xforwarding, and get a graphical list. I know how to get the command, and just need to find the program.
to any of our mods: meta.askubuntu.com/posts/8035/revisions needs the title edited and capitalized accordingly, and the user who is the OP of the question needs to be prevented from editing everywhere, because of edit wars in which they're breaking the rules of English, and also are breaking the rules elsewhere.
because we have an edit war caused by the same person who's trying to enforce Italian language rules, instead of english rules which they even ACKNOWLEDGED IN THE SAME POST.
I've been using Ubuntu Linux for a couple years now but I still have trouble with permissions... lol
So I need to setup my web server for production. I need the root web directory to always be accessible by Apache and me (I login to ftp with my account) as well (if possible) by my CGI application...
