@EliahKagan I believe the system does allow you to modify your suggested edits before the review has been completed. Recently I submitted an edit suggestion on a site where I lack edit privileges and modified my edit after the first review

I may be imagining things, but I feel fairly sure that actually happened. The version I saw in the editor was my own as-yet-unapplied revision, which was a relief to me

Cc @damadam ^^

Maybe the system should not allow that! But I think it does

Q: Ubuntu how to remove small vertical element stick screen

I have a super weird issue: There is a small vertical element that got stuck on the screen and unable to remove, really annoying :/

Eliah Kagan

@dessert Thanks. :)

@Zanna Yes, I have had that happen. But in this case there were two completed reviews (which disagreed with each other so it was still in the queue). I guess you can only revise a suggested edit when there are no completed reviews on any version of the edit. I think the user who made a suggested edit can revise it while a review is in progress, though. I've seen the banner come up informing me of a new edit while reviewing suggested edits, and not always after clicking the Edit button.

@AaronHall Is the docker command trying to pull down an OS image?

You might need more than a single gig of space for that.

Zanna

@EliahKagan I mean (maybe I am now confused), someone had already approved it

Eliah Kagan

@Zanna Your suggested edit?

Zanna

yes

but it had not been applied yet

that space shouldn't be there!

I suppose that is debatable :)

@Seth it failed, and now I can't use any web browser on my laptop...

I've tried telling docker to clean up (prune) whatever, I've searched for docker commands to clean up, seems like I don't have any images here now, but it's like my system won't reclaim the space.

size of root is 106GB now, Used is 102GB, Avail is 0. that doesn't add up.

Kulfy

61

A: df -h - Used space + Avail Free space is less than the Total size of /home

By default, ext2/3/4 filesystems reserve 5% of the space to be useable only by root. This is to avoid a normal user completely filling the disk which would then cause system components to fail whenever they next needed to write to the disk. You can see the number of reserved blocks (and lots of ...

@Rinzwind I don't know about XFCE but Kubuntu 19.10 (minimal install with the kubuntu-backports ppa to get Plasma 5.17) looks like this (if I can figure out how to include an image):

But I think Lubuntu 19.10 is even lighter. Kubuntu takes quite long to get started but after that it's fine.

@Seth is there a way to tell how much space I'll need if I try it again in the future?

@AaronHall you still have lynx as primary web browser, but command line x)

Aaron Hall

@damadam it was an option but I didn't bother trying it out.

damadam

2:09 PM

off topic or not, because he is working with a Windows computer but (probably) his server is running a Linux

Zanna

@damadam it's on topic if either of them is running Ubuntu

damadam

2:24 PM

desktop computer is Windows for sure, but the server, idk, because scp is cross-platform

terdon

@Zanna I'm not 100% sure, actually. The issue does seem to be about how scp works on Windows, so it doesn't look like the problem is related to the Ubuntu side of things.

Kulfy

Call to 10k+ users: Was this deleted by the system? Was it marked as dupe of something?

Zanna

@terdon oh, ok

edwinksl

deleted by community bot

closed as off-topic

EoL

Oh okay. Thanks. :)

@Zanna I meant what I said: I'm not sure. I think it will depend on where the problem is. If it is indeed on the Windows side, then I'd argue the Q is off topic since we can't really help configure a Windows machine.

If the issue can be fixed on the Linux side, then it would be on topic assuming the Linux is an Ubuntu.

But anyway, I shouldn't be getting involved, I'm on strike.

Zanna

2:46 PM

you are at work!

I mean, you are here

terdon

Haven't done any moderating (nothing a normal user couldn't do) for several days. And not much a user could do either.

Kulfy

@Zanna Can you please send a screenshot of question body?

Zanna

Kulfy

Thank you :)

Zanna

@terdon I don't want to undermine that in any way, but thanks for giving your view despite being on strike :)

@Kulfy any time... can you read it well enough? I could have zoomed the first half in a bit more

terdon

2:51 PM

Well, I was opinionated before I became a mod, so I don't really see voicing opinion as moddly :P

Kulfy

@Zanna It's fine. Actually there's a question in suggested edit queue which referred to this question. I was removing the reference and trying to make question independent of that.

Zanna

@terdon I was going to say that I don't think giving an opinion is necessarily moderation, but, I thought that saying something like that might seem like I was undermining the strike

terdon

:)

I just meant I wasn't gonna hammer anything closed.

Zanna

well, not many questions here get hammer-closed by mods

damadam

@terdon a mod isn't a user (with his privelege earned) that had a few more rights, but also a few more work?

terdon

2:56 PM

Yes? I think so? Sorry, I'm not sure what you mean.

Rinzwind

@damadam mods are less than users :=)

damadam

about that question, you can solve it as a user instead of being a mod ;)

@Rinzwind hopefully, it would be a huge mess if it wasn't like that :'D

Chromium (web browser)

Chromium is a free and open-source web browser developed by Google. It is a fully functional browser on its own and supplies the vast majority of source code for the Google Chrome browser. The two browsers have always had some differences, as indicated by their names: chromium is the metal used to make chrome plating.The Chromium source code is also widely used by other parties to create their own browsers, in a similar manner as Google, while others simply build it as-is and release browsers with the Chromium name. The user interface is minimalist because Google wanted its browser to "feel...

@damadam Brave was not created by Mozilla. Brendan Eich developed it after he was "no longer" with Mozilla.

@AaronHall ah, sorry. My point was that it is probably pulling an entire ubuntu (bionic) image down with it. So 3-4GB iirc

Idk that there's a docker command that will tell you exactly how much space you need before the download tho

@AaronHall @Seth for an image on dockerhub it would be:

@Seth thanks

@Rinzwind thanks? what's that mean?

@Rinzwind does it allow download with confirm?
