Q: Troubleshooting the tag: can we diagnose it as unnecessary?

ZannaWe have a tag troubleshooting. At best, troubleshooting describes a type of activity, though not a very specific one, and not one in which people would be likely to have a particular interest or expertise. At worst, the tag is applicable to every situation where something is not working as expect...

Q: Can we do away with, "We don't support EOL distributions" when it is tangential and completely and utterly unrelated to the question?

AkivaHow can I push to Launchpad if port 22 is blocked?? Asked a question about using git, and pushing to Launchpad. I was asked my distribution, I responded "19.10", and asked why that mattered. I did not get an answer, because it obviously does not matter: git -- a static and well established revis...

Q: Server randomly shuts down and contains unusual characters in the kern.log and syslog - "^@^@^@^@^@^@^@^@^@^"

hello, i have a quick question. programs without root access can't read from swap space right?
the same people are here lol
@Hmmm :D
I like your userpic @Hmmm :)
@Hmmm Unless you've changed the permissions on your swap file or on the device node used for your swap partition (the Linux kernel supports both swap partitions and swap files, and both are common in Ubuntu), non-root users cannot open it for read or write. Of course, a program running as a non-root user can still have pages of its memory swapped out and back in.
thank you very good answer!
