Is this something that would be on-topic for you guys?

Q: Search previous Ubuntu Kernels for specific driver since removed

I have a Sony Handycam DCR-TRV460 which under 32bit Windows XP (alone) supports USB streaming. From what I have been able to determine, after exhaustively searching and Googling, is that there used to be a Linux Kernel with a driver module that supported this. Currently, I'm running 3.16.3 on Mi...

Looks like there is a reasonable question in there somewhere..

It doesn't really have anything to do with Ubuntu, so rather off-topic for us.

Braiam

@Seth removed the story telling

Seth

@Braiam ah, thanks.

Greetings @/

hello @Gilles

I want to edit some tag wiki and I'm afraid I get benched again. Could someone explain to me How exactly should I write?

I also have some question about sxhkd. what does it do?

terdon

@r004 just don't copy from existing sources.

If I remember correctly, you'd told me that you've contributed to the Arch wiki, in which case, I'm sure you'll do just fine.

r004

@terdon I didn't do it before but still I got cut

terdon

@r004 Cut?

You mean the edit was rejected?

r004

@terdon yes. I was told that I didn't write it good enough

terdon

OK, I don't know what happened though. Have you read the tag wiki guidelines?

Blog - Stack Exchange: Redesigned Tags Page

Jeff Atwood on March 23, 2011

In the spirit of our recent redesign of the users page, we felt it was time to enhance the tags page, too.

As you can see, the tags page now shows a bit more information about each tag, namely:

The first three lines of the tag wiki excerpt for the tag. The number of questions asked in that tag over the last two relevant time intervals — day, week, or month. These intervals are also clickable so you can zoom into recent questions with the tag.

The number of questions asked in that tag over the last two relevant time intervals — day, week, or month. These intervals are also clickable so you can zoom into recent questions with the tag. …

Just follow the suggestions there and you should be fine.

Is it me or is it to wide and general describtion . too many non relevent idea there

well It is me; .... I think

@Braiam hello

terdon

@r004 Well, they're the general guidelines so...

r004

@terdon give me a good ecample on unix.stackexchange tag

terdon

Which one do you want to edit?

This one is good: unix.stackexchange.com/tags/linux/info

r004

terdon

@r004 I think you're worrying about it too much. Just submit your edit, it will go into the review queue and if there's anything wrong with it we'll let you know. Worst case scenario is that your edit is rejected, no big deal.

r004

12:08 PM

@terdon ok

any idea about sxhkd?

terdon

Nope, sorry. Don't even know what it is.

@terdon you think that a question about how to start a bitcoin miner at boot is necessary? I'm seeing that several users just doing it wrong (why the root permissions??!)

@Braiam There is a bitcoin SE. Would it not be on topic there?

Braiam

2:04 PM

@FaheemMitha likewise here

Ramesh

2:28 PM

The /var should be root owned and the permissions should be 755 on the directory. I believe that should fix the issue. — Ramesh 23 secs ago

Is that correct?

Braiam

@Ramesh but not complete

Faheem Mitha

2:40 PM

@Ramesh Correct, but it may take more than that. My general response to people who have mucked up their systems significantly is to reinstall. That is what I would do under those circumstances, anyway.

Braiam

2:58 PM

anyone that can think of a good title... my answer should work for all messed permissions

Ramesh

3:15 PM

debian - fix broken/messed up permissions

Braiam

@Ramesh never, ever use [tag] - title

Ramesh

Fix broken/messed up permissions

Braiam

of what?

Ramesh

of my system directory

Faheem Mitha

4:36 PM

@Braiam you could add that question/answer to

unix.stackexchange.com/tags/permissions/info

Braiam

@FaheemMitha the answer only works in Debian based distros (or with apt/dpkg)

Faheem Mitha

@Braiam Hmm, good point. Even so... The general idea of reinstalling packages should work for other distributions too. you could generalize the question/answer.

Ramesh

5:30 PM

Is anyone having the same problem? Each time I login to chat, I get an older notification.

Hey guys, just in case, I didn't think my question here was a dupe. Just bringing it to your attention. Luckily, I got the answer I was looking for so no complaints :-)

Q: Deterministic method to find out whether a process is in a chroot jail and where

Was looking into an apache issue in a unfamiliar server. The output of ps -ef looked like this: [belmin@server131 ~]$ sudo ps -ef | grep httpd apache 14363 4082 0 14:04 ? 00:00:00 /usr/local/apache2/bin/httpd -k start apache 14365 4082 0 14:04 ? 00:00:00 /usr/local/apache2/bi...
