Folks reading back - I apologised to Zacharee1 in the other room following up on what I said earlier and am now really ashamed of saying chat.stackexchange.com/transcript/message/33093610#33093610

We can humbly suggest pilot to use Skip button more frequently
 
I thought I already did that
 
then we're done
 
yeah :)
 
This really is unexplainable. If a person is not comfortable with reviewing 3 years old question he/she can just push the button. How can that become so hard? Or Am I missing some other points?
 
I feel the same, but did you see answer from Win to our meta post? Says he feels a lot of pressure (from Zach) to "get the queue down"
 
7:44 AM
Saw that. No need to feel pressure. Also we don't need to diminish the queue. Yes, it is good if we can review it. But making a group of closers and then targeting to close questions is not within the objective of AU. That can be harmful as well
We need independent reviewers.
 
yeah I agree with everything you just said
 
Also on other day, Zach was asking for 10k users to use the tools to check questions with 4 CVs and closing them. This is not what that tool was given for imo.
 
what do you think it's for?
I disagreed with some of the CVs I found there
I wanted to go to them in the queue to kick them out by editing... but I see there's a reason we cannot do that - it would be unilateral
 
That tool is for inspecting. You should vote to leave a question open even if it has 4 CVs, If you believe the CVs are not making sense.
Besides we're sending very few questions to the review queue.
 
Yeah as I told Byte in my comment - maybe I should edit the post with what I said in that comment
 
7:54 AM
We can workaround this I think.
@Zanna which comment?
 
@Anwar sure I agree with that completely
@ByteCommander nope, definitely not. We've been doing this for a month, and averaging 5-10 things per day sent to queues. The new stuff is because 16.10! — Zanna Oct 14 at 21:54
 
Yes. that can be put into the post
 
I'm going to edit it now...
edited
Anyway, I don't think there is a big problem but I wanted to apologise to Zach for blaming people's hostility to our work on him in an undermining way
 
what did you say to him actually?
 
8:09 AM
my comment on Win's answer to our post and talking about him in here with @edwinksl and in the other room here chat.stackexchange.com/transcript/message/33089363#33089363
I have reservations about what he's doing (same as you)
but I didn't express them in an appropriate way in any of those places. I was feeling attacked and I put blame on him unfairly. He actually supported us in response to what Win said earlier in the room
thanks for your comment on win's post
 
8:25 AM
@Zanna I'm happy when the OP says he upgraded from 15.10 to 16.04 to prevent his question from being closed as off topic. I'm sad when the OP edits his question and changes Linux Mint to Ubuntu. It may not make any difference, but it feels different to me.
 
@karel I am not sure what to do in those cases, but I prefer not to second guess OP - if they decided they want to deal with the difference, then I prefer to believe them and answer the Q as if it is really about Ubuntu. Of course, there are problems if they are using Mint - the answers might not work for OP - but we are not all about OP, and answers may by verified by others and be used by them.
So I am uncertain
because it is bad when OP says it doesn't work, creates doubt and a mess and stress for people trying to do good work
 
A possible source of an accepted answer that doesn't work in Ubuntu makes me sad.
 
hmm yes that's another problem that could happen.
I have a bias towards believing what people say: I hate it when folks don't believe me, it hurts my heart

check the comment on the card. I think the q should stay trello.com/c/n27Hk4B5/723-grub-rescue-no-such-device-found
 
@Anwar I totally see your point there... but damn, seems like a terrible question to me
 
oh. let me read the q again
 
it's a click of a button to move an answer to the question body haha.
 
lol. The mod re-added the answer which I already added
 
yeah, don't edit it in yourself because mods have tools to do it the easy way
 
12:33 PM
I wasn't aware of it.
 
I always do it myself, edit so it's integrated properly, and leave a comment on the thing I flagged saying "I have edited this into the question"
 
it should go now
 
nice
 
i think this is actually a dupe of this
what do you think?
 
yeah, good call
 
12:39 PM
but I hate sending it to queue
 
Got the hint.
 
hmm I voted
 
I supported
 
you hate because of all the drama? it was just my bad
also upvoted target
 
mmm...yes. partially for that. I'm trying to solve problem without sending to queue (when we can)
 
12:41 PM
@Anwar people are angry...
 
I see... You're suggesting not to sent to the queue?
 
No, I was talking about the 2 deleted answers in the master question.
 
oh. got it :)
I didn't scroll to those answers before
 
1:00 PM
a "no fix" imo. or upvote the OPs answer? askubuntu.com/questions/345699/…
 
hmmm... idk :(
if you think that is reproducible then maybe we can upvote as "it's not possible"
 
strange solution.. but works
 
voted... if there were a dupe guru badge, you'd have earned it...
 
1:19 PM
@Anwar Hmm, it is not about installing Ubuntu on NTFS, is it?
 
OPs answer hints he was trying to have it installed in NTFS.
@Zanna idk. but it was surely dino around '12
 
@Anwar I read it as OP trying to access partitions that are NTFS but they are not visible in Ubuntu.
So, I don't know what to do and going to leave it as it is for people who know better.
 
I think I understood their problem now
It's not a dupe. They installed ubuntu using wubi on the second disk giving 30GB space
the other space was left unallocated and thus wasn't shown.
@Zanna I've retracted the CV. terrible mistake
An answer can be added to this as a solution (works most of the time) but OP can't verify it askubuntu.com/questions/341221/…
the question is solved (indicated in ubuntu forum) but it is unclear how
 
1:43 PM
Ooh oops. Retracted. Glad I peeked in here
 
and I CVed this finally. Because OP left searching solution and instead opted for manually installing theme from gnome-theme.org
 
Hmm I can't think, I'll come and look when my mind is working again
 
this is a windows question askubuntu.com/questions/341468/… both of the answers are also providing solution for windows
 
2:51 PM
Voted

Seems no repro, or is recreating the RAID enough to make an answer? askubuntu.com/questions/359485/…

bbt.
 
6:51 PM
Goodnight :)
