Officially ubuntu supports Unity, KDE, XFCE and LXDE desktop environment. So naturally we can answer relating to them in askubuntu. But I saw many peoples asking help on cinnamon desktop environment. Since cinnamon is created with Linux mint in mind (not ubuntu) so isn't the question is out of th...

@jokerdino well that was a short run.... "This question violates multiple aspects of our FAQ: You are not a professional and ask a question regarding your home network and policy circumvention. – SvenW 19 mins ago"
I disagree with every one of his assumptions, but if that is representative of the general attitude of the SF users towards newcomers, my question is probably doomed.
I was following a tutorial and it told me to run
sudo chmod +a "SOME_PARAMS" some/dir
I was surprised to see that fail telling me
chmod: invalid mode: `+a'
So I wonder: What does the +a mode mean? How would I translate it into something Ubuntu understands? And I also like to know why it isn...
the only area of the FAQ I think it could possibly be violating is "Licensing, legal advice, and circumvention of security or policy," But it's not actually illegal for foreigners to bypass the firewall as long as they don't share restricted material with Chinese nationals.
or for example... ME. I wasn't making it up when I said that I have a client who needs Facebook integration with their Drupal Site, and I need to be developing this site locally in case I lose the connection to my server in the US.
if this cursor is actually intelligently "homing in on clickable targets causing havec" I really want a screencast of this! :P askubuntu.com/questions/142943/…
i seem to recall an excellent AU question + answer about the different ways software can get packaged for Ubuntu ...but i'm having trouble finding it, does anybody just know off the top of your head...?
i've encountered a situation where i need to report a bug against content on ubuntu.com; i think this might be addressed by an existing question (askubuntu.com/q/15077/22949), but i'm not sure so i've posted a new question (askubuntu.com/questions/143006/…)
@EliahKagan Just a note, following on to the ubuntu-web project noted in the other question and looking at open bugs bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu-website/+bug/883001 is for sure a content bug
I see your reference to not being a link thing, but I would think there would need to be someone with significant pull to get up with the Dell contact point and remedy the situation in a way other than just pulling the link.

This answer is literally cut/pasted from another question: askubuntu.com/a/142837/8844 . What's the best way to deal with this? Voting down, flagging, just commenting on it?
@jrg et al., if a user has a closed question, what are their UI options? Can they flag it to request re-opening versus some other way to note this ('reopen' button?)?
@belacqua they can drop a comment or flag it and explain to the mods the reason why it needs opening. Alternatively drop the Q into ubuntu regulators to get the reopen votes.
I have tried 2 different OpenID accounts to try to register and in each case I get an error and cannot register
I have cut and pasted the links suggested by both my openID accounts into the URL box on the registration page and nothing works
Thanks
@aking1012 Thanks, I've edited my question to incorporate this information. If nobody else replies, I'll try reporting it against ubuntu-website (and then, when I see the triager/developer response on Launchpad, I'll be able to answer my own question, if you or others don't do so first).
In chat, there is an option to link my next chat message as a reply to this. But I do not see a way to get a hyperlink to the chat transcript, at a particular post.
I know this is possible (that is, that it is possible to formulate such a link), because links like this appear in my StackExchange...
