gtheysI'm not sure what the problem is here. I've googled around for this issue but couldn't find anything.

Q: YELP! Old-computer tag!

Braiamold-computer excerpt says: Questions about Ubuntu on old computers What exactly is an "old computer"? Where to draw the line? How I know my system has a problem because is old (btw, mine is almost 10 yo and still kicking)? Exactly who is capable of answering questions tagged with this?

Q: Bring Windows XP to the last option instead of first option

UTKARSHXIs there any way to install XP after installing Lubuntu 13.10 and bringing Ubuntu to the first position in the Grub menu as I am using XP only for my School Work and I am using Ubuntu for all my work. If, there is a way, then I want a detailed answer as i am using linux for the first time.

@Braiam Interesting. The fact that it oneboxes here means that you've requested it as a feature? Or was just there?

What is the deal with this Review suggested edits thing?
 
good question
 
I've just reached the 2000 line, and I don't know which edits should I accpet or reject
 
i'd rather see that little number when I have 10k, and only for flags... :/
@falconer then ask?
you can provide links to us
 
You know, when an edit comes in
 
or just ignore it if you're not comfortable reviewing edits
yes i know
however, my queue is empty, so as I said, links to us to help out, or just ignore it
 
6:53 PM
which only changes some i to I, and puts in some empty lines
 
@falconer if it's super minor edits like that then reject
 
and leaves the grammar wrong
 
...
 
I guessed so, but I see that others accept those as well
 
@falconer only time i'mma say this before getting annoyed: type your entire thoughts out on ONE WHOLE LINE
 
6:54 PM
Ok, sorry
 
this isn't AIM, or MSN Messenger, you have a substantial amount of space to type. Don't abuse the enter key
/me grumbles something about people spamming the enter key
... okay, i need my coffee... so lemme get that before i talk to people
@falconer i am by no means an expert at edit reviewing, but if you want you can take a look at my review history and focus on the edit reviews
but ultimately, i prefer the close votes queue over the edits queue
much more fun to yell at people for using EOL releases
 
So should I reject those suggested edits which just changes some minor formatting, but leaves the grammar wrong and doesn't correct the tags? Or should I reject them? (Of course there is the Improve this thing, but I usually don't have time for that.
@ThomasW. I will look at them, thx
 
@falconer Unless you give me a link, to see the edit, I can't give you an opinion
brb coffee
 
@ThomasW. moment, I search for one
 
COFFEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE
(yes i know that is spam. but coffee is my lifeblood.)
 
6:59 PM
@ThomasW. E.g this one: askubuntu.com/posts/374898/revisions Grammar left wrong, not even retagged it with the microphone tag, and changing the "/"-s to ">"? why?
 
@falconer most of the grammar issues there are very minor and even someone with rudimentary english understanding (i.e. english not their primary language) would be able to guess the question. Retagging isn't a requirement either, but someone can retag it if they want (note "microphone" is a very broad tag, having other tags attached is a plus)
 
@ThomasW. Okay. So basically if the edit doesn't make the post worse, I should approve it?
 
@falconer take a look at that question again you'll see minor edits I made and then also my comment calling them out on irrelevant information
@falconer that's how I follow it
@falconer ultimately, if you want, hit "Reject" and read some of the reasons
but don't reject
@falconer you have at least 2k rep right?
 
Yep, just got it, thats why I'm asking
 
okay one moment
@falconer askubuntu.com/review/suggested-edits/199862 without doing anything what would you think about this one?
@falconer does it provide a substantial improvement to the post? Is it too minor? Are they attempting to comment on the post? Is it spam? etc.
@falconer same questions on this one: askubuntu.com/review/suggested-edits/199861
 
7:08 PM
@ThomasW. I would accept that one
 
which one
 
the first
 
I agree
what about the second one?
 
and the second one two
 
7:10 PM
Thats a reject from me
 
indeed.
but why?
i voted approve, because it improves readability
 
Removing a thank you, and breaking the text into 3 pieces is almost nothing
 
@falconer removing a thank you is meta-approved editing
 
And it is left again with bad grammar
 
@falconer ignoring the grammar aspect
because that user who's doing the edits is probably going to get smacked by me for constantly doing minor edits
 
7:12 PM
It is minor
 
@falconer question on that one, if you had to choose between the split-up version or the one mass of text version, to read the question, which would you choose?
 
Yeas, I see his name kinda frequently..
 
oh this is a prime example of something I'd accept...
lets see if you can figure out why
 
Of course I would chose the split-up version. But then we should approve any minor edit, even if it changes an i to an I.
 
@DuminduMahawela if you ever see this ping, you need to show up, your edits are becoming more and more minor, sooner or later someone's going to beat you with a stick.
@falconer No, we shouldn't.
there's a difference between "minor" like only fixing capitalization
and splitting thoughts up correctly into paragraphs, bulleted lists, etc.
a minor fix would be someone going through and just fixing capitalization
which > 2k users can do without incident
another minor fix is just fixing spelling errors.
 
7:15 PM
@ThomasW. I don't get it why is that a prime example for accept XD
 
it's ultimately up to each reviewer to choose what they want
@falconer they add a LOT of code formatting. Which is necessary for command line things, and stuff you'd see in config files
ultimately, though, if you don't know what to do, just ignore the edits queue
i know that there're a few who just ignore it
but also note, your one vote is going to require someone else to also vote the same way...
 
Most likely I will just skip through these formatting edits.
 
... or two others to vote the opposite
so that's the commmunity at work, you can make a mistake in your reviewing, and everything's still good
@falconer also, keep in mind, I've been here for a little while, even though I'm not super high rep...
so i have a couple years of flagging, editing, under my belt
 
@ThomasW. OK
 
so ultimately you'll get the feel for reviewing things over time :)
... bleh, crap, I forgot to get the girlfriend a christmas gift...
back later.

Q: Why would an answer come up in the review que long after being posted?

TrailRiderI came across an answer in the review que that was flagged as low quality, normal enough except that it was 3 years old. here is the link: http://askubuntu.com/review/low-quality-posts/199833 The only reason I can come up with is that it was either missed somehow by the Community, or that it wa...

Q: Microphone works, but line in not

John ツI have an interesting issue with Ubuntu. I have a laptop that has one jack for line in/microphone and line out/headphones. This the reason why I bought a spliter like below: Splits one 4 pines jack into two jacks: micrphone and line out I have an external studio microphone and headph...

^---- Progress changed: I can hear only the piano sounds, but I still cannot record them in Audacity
 
@ThomasW. you my friend got a ugly problem...
 
@イオニカビザウ We will solve that.
 
@falconer If you solve this I will give you more other +50 points... :-)
I am searching a solution for this since I bought my laptop...
 
@イオニカビザウ You already wrote in the comments that it is now capturing from piano
right?
 
7:29 PM
@falconer Yes. The sounds are very clear.
 
you found the meter which controls its behaviuor
What is then the problem?
 
I cannot record the piano.
It records the microphone.
 
So your pc echos back the sounds of the piano?
 
@falconer Yes, I hear them in the headphones (live).
 
anyway, install pavucontrol sudo apt-get install pavucontrol
 
7:30 PM
Installing.
Done.
 
run it, pavucontrol
 
@falconer If you think that a screen share would help you, I can share my screen.
Ok.
I run it.
 
Input tab
 
what is there?
 
can you change the internal mic to something else in the dropdown?
 
This captures internal mic sounds.
Inernal Mic / Microphone
 
okay
 
Changed it to Microphone.
Now I hear the background noise.
 
then launch audacity, and try recording
 
7:34 PM
It still records from internal mic..., not from piano.
 
then go to the recording tab in pavucontrol
while audacity is still recording, from where is it recording
?
tr changing it
 
@falconer Monitor of built-in ... ?
@falconer Now it doesn't record anything...
 
thats no good, that would record your system sounds
So if in pavucontrol on the input tab you choose "internal mic" then the piano can be heard on the speakers, but audacity doesn't record anything. But if you change it to Mic, then noise is heard?
a moment, i'm back in a few mins
 
7:39 PM
@falconer Yes, but even when I select Mic it captures sounds only from piano - but with background noise. I don't hear the other sounds from room.
@falconer Ping me when you are back.
 
@Braiam what, that I forgot to get the girlfriend a gift?
@Braiam or, the fact I have a girlfriend?
 
@イオニカビザウ
 
if the second one, I'm going to slap you around a bit, if you meant the first one, well, i fixed that issue.
 
@falconer Can we move to another room not to disturb this room?
 
So I think we should go back to the alsamixer

Q: Do we need(or is it even possible) to prevent suggested edits from anonymous users?

TrailRiderIn the last several days I have come across at least 2 edits that were attempting to vandalize a post. I don't mean attempting to edit there own problem into the question or answer, these were absolute spam vandalisms. Here it the most recent example: http://askubuntu.com/review/suggested-edi...

 
@AskUbuntuMeta No we don't, per my thoughts on this issue
This is a duplicate of What hardware will Ubuntu Touch support, so please prosecute accordingly.
 
8:23 PM
@ThomasW. yeah that...
@ThomasW. ... just take your coffee
 
8:50 PM
@Braiam yes am a mod; not a robot :)
When I ran into the problem I was preparing to go to bed, but just needed to look something up. Having noticed a problem with our site that I wouldn't be able to fix at the time, I shared it here on the chat.
Better than just leaving it.

not web
@Lucio I tried but my reputation is so slow — Andres 3 hours ago
^ Is this true?
A new user with low reputation cannot answer its own question?
If so, it is a bug.
 
there's a waiting period for self answers to accept, 2 days i think. other than that i don't think so...
 
@hbdgaf that is what I think, just a matter of time
 
rails people should really be using rbenv or rvm anyway...someone should probably tell him...
not isolating your ruby envs is begging for pain... my first task when moving to python-3.4 was to get virtualenv unbroken.
OT: he kind of looks like a young Dave Aitel...
 
11:10 PM
@Lucio 8 hours actually, and it's if you have >100
 
thx!
 
if you have over 100-ish you can answer your own question after 1 min, or 3 days
 
was 2 days the for accept wait delay?
 
@Braiam wrong symbol '>' -> '<' ;)
 
@hbdgaf dunno, but users lately only respond 8 hours... (let me do a sockpuppet sometime to test)
 
11:13 PM
@jrg - do you want to nudge this guy in to using a virtual environment from the beginning of trying to learn rails? askubuntu.com/questions/394037/… since you're the resident ruby guy
 
@Braiam make a fake empty package...
 
yeah, but that don't have the "impact"
if you keep fixing someones problems then stuff wouldn't advance and the obsolete methods will prevail
 
people do it all the time to get packages/bins that work in broken distros in to less broken distros or to "register" compiled from source tools. and yes, i agree it's better to fix the problem.
 
11:29 PM
Who can this be possible?
 
mime-type headers.

Peter SmitI would suggest changing the group of your webroot to www-data, the user used by nginx and also php5-fpm. For example: sudo chown -R my-user:www-data /webdirectory sudo chmod -R 0755 /webdirectory where my-user is your own account (which enables you to put the files easy in your webroot witho...

Thank you @PeterSmit!
But I still have no idea of why happened that :S
strange behavior
 
no idea. nginx doesn't need executable just readable... my django deployment script works fine running from /opt/webapps with a user for each webapp
 
@hbdgaf yep, it should work for nginx
In fact, others virtual domains work with the same set of privileges.
