Q: Unmet dependencies. Try 'apt-get -f install' with no packages

I tried to install Google chrome on my Ubuntu 12.04 machine. I just followed the manual installation procedure mentioned in this link and finally when I was about to install the .deb package of google-chrome, something went wrong and chrome didn't install successfully and unfortunately after that...

OP got wrong Python version and needs to downgrade

@terdon the system decided to inform me that flags got disputed and I need to re-check my flagging. So I did and I disagree with the systems assesment.

terdon

@Rinzwind Huh? That seems very strange. You have 1,782 flags, of which 1,671 were helpful, 20 were declined and 81 disputed. That seems like a pretty decent track record.

Videonauth

for me 16 of my flags aged away ;)

Rinzwind

2:46 PM

@terdon you tell me :P

even worse: check what the date is of the last disputed flag :P

terdon

@Rinzwind I did, which is why it's weird that you're getting this now.

@Rinzwind As far as I'm concerned, your flagging record is exemplary.

Rinzwind

and I saw flags in them marked as "spam" and I am 100000% certain I never flagged them as aspam

terdon

@Rinzwind You have 399 flags of which 2 were declined, 3 were disputed and everything else was accepted. Again, that's an excellent record.

Rinzwind

:P

terdon

What exactly did the system tell you and how? (So I can ask a CM if there's a bug)

Rinzwind

2:50 PM

it was a line below the options screen :P

terdon

@Rinzwind On the site? What do you mean?

Rinzwind

at the "close" reason. it was a line at the bottom
did not ss it though :+

terdon

@Rinzwind So you went to vote to close a question and were shown some kind of notification?

Rinzwind

yes sir. Something like ehm ... let me think

hmmm I could create some false flags and hope it comes back >:)

terdon

@Rinzwind Yeah, that seems like a perfect solution!

(just in case)

Q: Ubuntu 16.04 windows do not show

I have just installed Ubuntu 16.04 in a PC board. The fact is that after upgrading to kernel 4.4.0-28-generic I cannot see the windows of some applications I need to use, just as Synaptic and Eclipse. In the latter case, I tried with Eclipse Luna and Eclipse Neon and configuring the session as in...

Q: Allow recovery from flag hellban

Currently, users can get stuck in a permanent flag hellban from which there is no recovery. I've asked around before and it doesn't look like recovery is possible. To recover, you'd need to gain flag weight, and to gain flag weight you need someone to handle your flags. Since your flags now g...

@Zacharee1 And I really hate those that require me to click away all images of X (water, street signs, store shops, ...) , but every time you click a picture, another one comes up. And usually the last one you click away keeps spawning another image you must click away.

Nathan Osman

This is stupid:

What's with "HD" everywhere?

Kaz Wolfe

you havent seen the camera with in-app purchases, have you?

Nathan Osman

What?

Kaz Wolfe

also, @NathanOsman, it's really easy. These apps are all made by CS doctorates who actually mastered zoom-and-enhance.

Nathan Osman

Of course.

user136984

8:08 PM

@KazWolfe: It wouldn't do this if it was someone else who had reported it, would it because how would it know for sure it was a duplicate? It normally asks me. Or does it mean that I already reported it? If so, I certainly did not, but maybe it thinks it already sent the data there, it would be really useful then if it could give me the URL I need to go to to file the report.

Nathan Osman

@KazWolfe except for the one that costs money :D

Zanna

8:30 PM

why sigh?

Videonauth

the only thing I actually dislike is the course the editing goes on that question

the editing history makes me sigh

JonasCz

Why ?

Videonauth

the op was stating clearly ubuntu&linux now its canonical and has three close votes

CV for being not about ubuntu ....

Zanna

oh yeah -- ugh! how the hell did that happen?

Videonauth

And why, i ask myself, just because it not deals with the technical aspect of Ubuntu? I think its a great question and should stay open but being closely monitored, answering this needs at least a little thinking

JonasCz

8:34 PM

@Videonauth You could edit it, and revert the edit to the title

Videonauth

sure i can but now it sits in the close review cue and anyone will for sure close vote it

Zanna

I think it's an inspiring question. I want it to be open & unanswered, so what it asks for can be made by people...

@JonasCz approved :)

JonasCz

If anyone else want to review it too: I suggested an edit which changes Briam's edit to the title and fixes some other things: askubuntu.com/suggested-edits/102504

Thomas W.

8:56 PM

@JonasCz your edits would make it more suitable for U&L which would then probably get a "too broad" closure

that said i already think the question is too broad, but i'm not 100% up for doing a ton of closings today :P

Videonauth

well the question existed before the last edits without a close vote, and the course the adits took leading the question of track IMHO

JonasCz

@ThomasW. Should I remove the "and Linux in general" bit, in that case ? Feel free to reject and edit...

Or should I just have left it as it was, and not edit ?

Thomas W.
