@Fabby Actually I use a userscript which has some canned comments. One of the comment is: If you have a NEW question, please ask it by clicking the [Ask Question](//askubuntu.com/questions/ask) button. If you have sufficient reputation, [you may upvote](//askubuntu.com/privileges/vote-up) the question. Alternatively, "star" it as a favorite and you will be notified of any new answers.
It already mention "sufficient reputation"

This is my "I have no clue" canned comment: 
Welcome to [ubuntu.se]! **;-)** Please take a moment to take our [tour] and visit our [help center](/help) so you can understand how this site works as it's a bit confusing to new users: it's not a forum, not a wiki, not a mail thread, but [all of these combined into one](i.stack.imgur.com/zaFOt.png): it's a Q&A site!  **;-)**

Q: Azure VM cloud-init overrides /etc/fstab

lapsusI added an additional data disk, as described in the Attach a data disk to a Linux VM documentation. The partition in question is /dev/sdc1. I added this line to the very bottom. Unfortunately the cloud-init magic works its wonders in a bad way and moves around the entries in /etc/fstab and I en...

you'd just have a line break in your PS1 and the lower half of the arrow on the second line
those are probably standard ascii frame border characters

I just got the high-spec Samsung S10e and found that USB file transfer to Ubuntu is super slow and fails very often (both via nautilus and adb pull). With my old Nexus 5 both nautilus and adb were fast and reliable.
I have searched Google but can't find anybody with a similar problem.
Any tip on how I could research this? Just post a question describing my symptoms?

@Rinzwind imo, just add a little more detail about unmask in the answer. A short line with a reference link would suffice.
The question you linked in the comment is good enough, I would just add it to the question's body with a quote from the top answer.

@Rinzwind Flag for mod attention and explain. It's not that you're a N00b and they're going to ignore you when you flag something.
also: if you flag, any mod working the queue will see it.

@Rinzwind I have a partial answer for your keys on the 4.19.38 kernel branch but cannot test on the latest 4.1.19.56 nor the 5.x series of the kernel as these need Libssl1.1 and that's only in 18.04 (I'm still on 16.04)

OK. I need to do some more testing as I tested on 4.19.38-custom
and my findings are: 
I have a similar system, but I'm running on a custom kernel from the 4.19 branch: `4.19.38-custom` to be exact and these keys do not produce any output under `xev`, `xinput`, nor even `showkey` on a console.

*However,* `acpi_listen` does show the keys are active, just that the kernel doesn't convert them to keypresses, so I tried with the following kernels:

* `5.0.21`: The latest build of the 5.0 series
* `5.1.15`: The latest build of the 5.1 series
Obviously, I haven't tried with 5.0.21 and 5.1.15 as I have a Libssl1.1 dependency I cannot solve.

@Rinzwind They don't show for me even if I allow scripts to run as disqus.com needs cookies.
Can you copy-paste your comment here?
 
Rinzwind

I dropped back to a virtual console and logged on as root. I then ran the command
showkey --keycodes

While the command was running i pressed the keys one at a time. I then compared them to the keys to the right. As i mentioned before the keys to the right took significantly longer to report the release event with the exception of P2
THAT does nothing for me :-(

Lemme test in a console...
@Rinzwind Nothing for me on my custom kernel neither.

hold it!
the OMEN key DOES show something. an acpi error
(the omen key sits right of delete and left of printscreen/end)

@Rinzwind I don't have that key.
@Rinzwind ACPI error means: not implemented in your kernel.
