hi slhck

slhck

hey! how can we help you?

terdon

just a quick question, I wanted to flag a question for migration to unix SE

how do I go about it?

slhck

Q: XDM login loop, missing or wrong session and resources files

I use Debian Wheezy/Sid with XDM urxvt as terminal as well as i3 as window manager ~/.xsession and /.Xresources as session and resources file, respectively. Last night I accidentally used up all my battery, so my notebook shut down. Since then, whenever I try to login with xdm (as launched b...

This one?

yup

Luke

@terdon If you have the rep, click on the Flag link, and enter in the free form text box

slhck

Well, I see you flagged it as "off topic", which … it isn't. So that flag was declined.

terdon

good

slhck

Generally, as @Luke says, just tell us in the "Other" box

But hold on for a moment

terdon

it isn't, at all, it just seems like a good fit for Unix and the OP said so himself so...

If a question is on topic here, it should never be migrated away unless the OP specifically asks for it.

terdon

sounds fair. The OP kinda did, that's why I wanted it brought to a mod's attention. It has, so you guys can do with it what you want.

slhck

@terdon Yeah, I left him a comment. It's up to the OP to decide, but they have a U&L account, so they probably know why they're posting here and not there :)

terdon

Just to clarify, in general if I want to suggest migration and it is not to one of the few sites specifically listed in the off-topic flag choices, I just use the free form text?

slhck

@terdon Yes, but please do so only if a) the OP has requested to move it but forgot to flag or b) the question is off topic here

terdon

No worries @slhck, I was not about to go on a flagging rampage :). Message received and understood
