I am currently running elementary OS (a Linux OS based on Ubuntu so everything in Ubuntu works in it) - dual booting it with Windows 8.
I have a 3TB external hard drive (USB 3.0) that does not seem to be recognized when I plug it in.
It works fine under Windows (both 7 and 8).
It is using a GPT...

@Mochan I'm not sure how launchers are marked as trusted. But maybe it just means that the launcher doesn't have the executable bit set? You might check its permissions in Nautilus. (Assuming you do trust it and do want it to run, that is.)
@JourneymanGeek Waaaaah so cute! I have 2 with 15.6in and one with 11in. and I think I have an old desktop somewhere. The monitor probably isn't widescreen though haha
The problems it's posted on at least share some commonalities. It's possible the answer applies to more than one of them. It's unlikely it applies to all or (it seems to me) even most. Anyway, it should of course be customized for each one. Maybe some of those questions are duplicates of others, too.
Btw there's some question for closure in Regulators.
@vasa1 Well remember, you can always downvote... (Please don't downvote all of them, which would be serial downvoting. But you could probably downvote up to 2 without anyone--including the system--objecting.) If you believe they should be downvoted, that is. I'm not saying you necessarily should choose to downvote them. I downvoted the two most recent ones.
@Seth There is nothing wrong with downvoting spam. Flagging is the most important thing--everyone should always do that. But downvoting helps too, because it often makes it disappear from the main page faster. That's a good thing, even in the (probably rare) cases where it makes the spam exist longer because fewer people see it. It's inherently good for spam to be off the main page, and showing spam to the entire community should never be a goal.
When we post links to spam posts to get them flagged, we are specifically recruiting people who know how to flag and are actually going to do so. Just because it's usually appropriate to post links to spam here does not mean that we should work against the system's design to keep spam on the main page.
To put it another way: spammers want their spam displayed on the site. That's why they post it.
@EliahKagan There is another side: once the spam is off the main page it may not be spotted for flagging. Only 4 downvotes make it disappear but 6 flags are needed for it to get auto-deleted.
@Takkat 3 spam flags banish it from the main page. (And then 3 more are still needed to delete it, as you say.) It is inherently good, and by design, that spam will disappear from the main page before it is ultimately deleted.
(Furthermore, everything I said above explicitly addresses and rebuts the idea that we should deliberately keep spam on the main page.)
@jokerdino Right. Either will do it (you don't need both). Actually, the score has to be -4 for a question to be kicked off by downvotes, and it can come back if it's undownvoted or upvoted. Whereas, even if a 3x spam-flagged post gets upvoted, it still doesn't get back to the main page. (Until the spam flags expire, that is, as can happen if a post is wrongly spam flagged, though I guess and hope that it's rare or nonexistent for a post to get 3 wrong spam flags.)

What is Spam?
Spam is Unsolicited Commercial Advertisement. You've all seen it. Spam doesn't mean "I don't like the answer" or "this answer is noise."
What is the effect of the Spam flag?
This type of flag receives an extremely high priority in the moderation queue. It should be used only wh...
@Takkat Spam that is alive is a problem. It doesn't become more of a problem when its score is lower. Of course, if people are downvoting instead of flagging, that's very bad and they should be taught to flag.
@Takkat There is a point in downvoting. Downvoting spam helps take it off the main page faster, which is inherently good, because the point of spam is to be seen.
I wonder how many people actually did click on that links on the spams we get. I am more concerned what happens if these spammer become more intelligent and write seemingly possible answers with "links" to check out. This will be dangerous then.

There are lotsa tools to modify the system of Linux distro.

Lets say if I take Linux Fedora... I would use this tools and install important packages.
Could I call this a new distro, like "Linux XYZ"?

It seems like it was an attempt to respond to the post and not to edit it. It looks like maybe they tried to use []() style markdown in the edit reason itself.
There's a [ at the beginning of the edit reason, with no closing ].
But then at the very beginning of the body, they added: ][1]
@TheLordofTime oh that's nice. I have a doubt here, if I use any of those application and some one got to my system with root login, can he just explore the protected folder?

BleachBit can wipe your thumbnail cache, I believe. Not sure how to blacklist a folder from getting thumbnails, though.
