But The PulseAudio Equalizer is not starting! It does not even show up in Dash! It did show up yesterday but now its gone! I ...
@Braiam The tutorial that the OP used in his question is more than a year old. The tutorial describes its method as "an unofficial solution", "a dirty hack" and "performance may be spotty depending on your hardware". The question still doesn't appear to offer much beyond what is already available in its duplicate question besides speculative and opinion-based information.
@karel exactly why you closed is as duplicated? it's the same problem? what elements made you think so? That is what I'm critiquizing. Badly asked duplicates don't help anybody and depriments the quality of the site. Also, I don't see any "tutorial" that OP used, I just read "didn't work" without further explanations nor relevant information
@Braiam I think that the idea that a lot of people have about the question is that it is about how to install Netflix and it's not necessary to have to either defend or criticize some blogger's post about what worked for him. If it's that sketchy, why should we have to defend the blogger... or alternatively why should we have to criticize him for that matter? If a blogger wants to promote his suggestion, he can post something about it himself.
so at this point he needs one-on-one support to purge a ppa and try again... and help how to use pastebin to get his logs... and....this is not one-on-one support
I'm crazy for help him to solve his problem, but first he has to help me understand what the problem is. I read the question 3 times and I get no information beyond it doesn't work
@Braiam OK, what I know so far is he asked an unclear question, left a link to an interesting tutorial in a comment and then apparently gave up, but at least we could give him some encouragement by reopening his question.
I'm just giving some pointers, but next time, if you don't see sufficient elements that qualify as duplicate due lack of information or unclear what his final goal is, either skip or close it as unclear. duplicates are reserved for exact duplicates and people that asks exactly the same question but with another wording ;)
okey, I see a problem here, you know you can add a comment telling them "hey, I don't understand your question, you might want to checkout this <link> and tell me if it works." then vote for unclear, right?
but I would rather add a comment saying "I don't really understand what you're trying to accomplish, but check this <link> out" and then vote for dupe.
@Seth It';s a long story... He used a method to install Netflix using a patched version of Wine. It didn't work for him. So he wants to know if he can install Netflix without using Wine at all. He could have also asked if it would have worked with an unpatched version of Wine, but he didn't.
@Braiam This point about duplicates is good, but if it devolves into squabbling about one separate question for each version number of a package it turns into the Mad Hatter's tea party.
beats me... from me, he gots a unclear what you are asking, I don't have the sufficient elements to start thinking about an answer, and our previous discussion reaffirmed that trough
@Seth we need to narrow it down, he wants to use "scripts" (I'm not sure if he's dead on) and has done some advances (again, I don't know how) until the point that he only needs to make whatever he's using do a real click in whatever browser and it gets send to Y! interface
I'm afraid that your desire to help is getting in the way of the desire of quality ;) remember that SE is mostly for professionals, and as jackasses pro's we need to maintain some grade of quality ;)
you don't catch the drift. If the asker has some job done, why reinventing the wheel thinking about solutions that OP might not like? Is more useful that he instead add more details about what doesn't work and might help somebody else that came accross with the same problem
@Braiam What?!? Of course he could add more details, but what I'm saying is we have enough to answer the question. Maybe not the exact way he wants it, but that's ok if he never clarifies. It will still come out a good useful question.
There needs to be a balance. Not enough detail vs. Too much detail (too localized)
well @Seth, that's you opinion, I'm on the side that if I have to spend more time trying to clarify the context and getting a starting point instead of answering 2 or 3 other questions, the question itself is bad and should be DV or closed
If your user is in the sudoers list (/etc/sudoers) you can use sudo before the command.
$sudo chmod 777 /root/opt
Similarly you can use chown command to change the owner of a file.
But it is not recommended to grant access to anything inside /root to users other than root. Be careful!

At basketball practice on December 26th, me and someone hit heads. I got hit on my ear but my head behind my ear hurts. I didn't get a headache immediately after, I got it the next morning.

I noticed that the main site tag for ubuntu-on-arm is being used in the exact same manner as the arm tag and wondered if there were a reason why they weren't merged?

I've seen several of these lately, and one of the latest one had the side-bar filled with them, none of them with marked answers, as you can see here:

The link to the Roger pate's profile page was absent.Why the link for that user was not shown?
Is there his account was deleted?
Why does this happen after nearly every update? Is there an issue that needs to be addressed
