@Zanna Hey. Isn't there a community wiki checkbox below the post editor text field for the original author?
not sure if it is still there when you edit an existing post, but at least for posting a new one, I have that option.
I also seem to get it for edits, and I'd believe this applies for regular users too...
 
I only saw it for the answer
not for the question
but the sun is in my eyes sitting here, so, maybe the problem is between the chair and the keyboard
:)
If the question is CW its answers will be
but I can't find that checkbox for the question in the editor
 
hmm, I'll check again.
You're right, there is no checkbox when you initially post a question. But I see one when I edit an existing one.
Ah, meta.stackexchange.com/a/11741/280883 explains it. Questions can only be made CWs by moderators now, as it enforces CW-status on all present and future answers.
So @Zanna, you can convert the answer yourself, please, if you would like to do so. About the question, I'm unsure whether it should be a CW or not, so I'm going to leave that flag open for another pair of moderator eyes to decide. Is that okay for you?

Q: Problem with wine 4 on Ubuntu 18.04 ( libc6 and dxvk, cannot install, broken packages)

Russell356Wine 4 requires libc6 and dxvk, but I can't install them. The following packages have unmet dependencies: wine-staging-i386:i386 : Depends: libc6:i386 (>= 2.29) but 2.27-3ubuntu1 is to be installed Depends: libvkd3d1:i386 (>= 1.0) but it is not installable Whe...

 
@ByteCommander sure

@Zanna what's your justification for CW?
i don't see enough justification to support making it CW currently.
esp. since there's now an additional answer on the post not just from you
@ByteCommander not if there's another post on it that makes it non-CW
 
2:41 PM
it's a trap
so I don't want the rep for that
I want to promote this question
so I need to do that in an unbiased way
I made this post so that we would stop getting questions with misleading generic titles that get millions of views but are almost certainly a waste of time for most of those visitors
so I think this post would get millions of views and actually help people figure out what to do next
It's clickbait
I don't wanna get paid for that
 
ok
done
BUT keep in mind the other answer poster might be upset they lost rep now
 
they won't lose the rep they already got

Q: Nautilus doesn't open files on double-click

Ink blotMy office computer is running some odd combination of XFCE4 and Gnome software, and after a recent update it seems that double-click on files in Nautilus does nothing to open these files. This is an Ubuntu-based installation. I've looked around, and it seemed that removing exo-utils would solve ...

When multiple events (upvotes/downvotes/accept) happen on a single post, an expand icon shows up which shows all events in reputation tab. But since 2-3 days I observed that it ain't there. I thought it may be network wide but no. It is only on AU. Interestingly when I'm logged in it doesn't shows up but when I'm logged it's there.
Is there anyone who can confirm this? If this is happening only with me, I need to check my browser's settings (well I tried firefox and Chrome already, even private mode). Else I'll report it to Meta Stack Exchange
 
@Kulfy You still see the events, it's just you don't have to click to expand anything?
That's what I have. I don't have to click to expand anything. I like it better this way, personally. I don't know if it's intended or not.
 
@EliahKagan Let me send a screenshot.
 
Okay.
 
17 upvotes but still no expand button.
I can't see in your profile too.
 
Oh, I see.
 
10:31 PM
I can see from incognito mode (i.e., I'm logged out)
 
Yeah, I haven't seen anything to expand lately.
 
@EliahKagan Can you see?
 
I'll check from private browsing mode.
 
 
Yeah, I observe the same thing you do on Ask Ubuntu. There are items to expand showing individual events when signed out, but not when signed in.
 
10:32 PM
Other sites such as The Workplace working fine.
So it's need not network wide. Only AU is affected. Over to Meta Stack Exchange!!!
 
@Kulfy Shouldn't a bug that affects only Ask Ubuntu be reported on our meta?
Community managers do pay attention to questions on child metas.
 
I think SE employees doesn't lurk too often on child metas. Or they do?
 
I checked on Unix & Linux and you're right, it only affects Ask Ubuntu.
@Kulfy I think they don't have to lurk have a queue of questions that includes those on child metas.
 
Over to Ask Ubuntu Meta!!!
 
(I'm looking for documentation or even may just a mod comment about this though, for confirmation.)
The fairly recent post on meta where it came up is deleted, but in this comment, terdon did mention that:
> SE employees see the bug tag on child metas.
That's not the whole comment, but I'm not quoting it out of context.
I will look for a better official resource.
No, it's fine to ask it here, the staff monitor the bug tag across all sites. — Josh ♦ May 19 '16 at 18:37
@DarkCygnus SE does monitor the "bug" tag on per-site metas, and I just added the "design" tag which might help reach the right group. It's not an urgent matter, so let's give that process time to work. — Monica Cellio ♦ Nov 10 '17 at 17:13

A: Is there any reason to post bug questions on meta.J.SE?

Rebecca ChernoffYour community is here. It is not expected that you live on Meta Stack Overflow. Bug reports are absolutely valid here. We do actively monitor the child metas. Posting on MSO will obviously result in a post being seen by more people, but it'll still get seen here. Things are a bit crazy with...

There have got to be clearer and more centralized sources of this information, presumably somewhere on MSE, but for some reason I'm not finding them. Anyway, even leaving my memory aside, based on the above I think you won't go wrong reporting the bug by posting on our meta. And since it appears to affect only Ask Ubuntu, I think that's the better place to report it.
 
10:48 PM
Posted.
I was thinking of gardening some internet points on MSE :P
 
Thanks for posting the bug report.
@Kulfy You'll have to settle for Ask Ubuntu Meta badges. :)
