@EliahKagan - I'm going to mark your flag as declined simply because I can't really respond through flags (askubuntu.com/questions/271463/is-chmod-r-ox-home-dangerous/…). I would suggest its easier to just ping through Chat to discuss. The deleted answer was really more of a comment than an answer. The flagged answer is marginally more of an answer than a comment. Subjective I know - but that is my humble opinion.
@fossfreedom Thx for replying. The deleted answer tells the OP what to do. Its intention is to answer the question. And it's a wrong answer...which it can't really be, without being an answer. (This is a bit clearer if you look at the question before the title was edited by someone other than the OP, which changed the meaning a bit.) That's how I see it, anyway.
I agree that it's okay to leave the deleted one deleted and keep the newer one not deleted. I'm not sure what editing would be appropriate; any edit I can think of would radically alter the post and make it say something fundamentally different from what that answer's author wanted to say. I do think the risk of someone breaking their system from that answer is probably minimal, given my comment there. (Unless you think my comment is unclear in its current form.)
Yeah, it says that. And that is somewhat true. Trust is more about how much someone knows. But think about how reputation is generated--people disproportionately vote (and bounty) questions and answers that are of interest to them. That's not a problem to be fixed, it's just the way it is. It's been commented on before. — Eliah Kagan2 mins ago
@EliahKagan I'm not sure I understand what you're saying there.
@geezanansa: lots of people use comments to get more information, or to tell someone "I edited this like so cause its a good idea, you might want to do it in future"
@Seth: I think something would need to interest you for you to slice off rep for it

Do we have a canonical question for "wireless not working" driver problems? Say, something that lists ways to get different vendor's wireless drivers installed and working?
If you're trying to get to the root of the problem or clarify something it's constructive. "Don't be an idiot", "Thanks" -- "No problem", etc too chatty or not constructive
linux.die.net/man/8/poweroff "When called with --force or when in runlevel 0 or 6, this tool invokes the reboot(2) system call itself and directly reboots the system. Otherwise this simply invokes the shutdown(8) tool with the appropriate arguments. "
Well...openbox on alternate doesn't have either system, so I can't check on mine. It was spec-ed over 2 years ago, and it seems like a good idea. I was just wondering.
@Seth Sorry, other way around. "Shut Down" acts just like sudo poweroff. Sudo shutdown is the Windows 95-like action that waits in SUM. But I am looking for it to actually power off. Thanks. — Blue Ice19 mins ago
Take five chimpanzees. Put them in a big cage. Suspend some bananas from the roof of the cage. Provide the chimpanzees with a stepladder. BUT also add a proximity detector to the bananas, so that when a chimp goes near the banana, water hoses are triggered and the whole cage is thoroughly soaked....
I ran into the problem where I added a PPA via command line, but then forgot the name of it. My solution was to download synaptic package manager
sudo apt-get install synaptic
Then start synaptic, and go to Settings->Repositories->'Other Software'. Then simply remove the PPA from the list.
^ downvote that for endless glory at squashing non-answers.
I'm using mytags when looking for questions (as suggested by Jorge Castro). This list is sorted by votes. So new questions are hard to find. I'd like to have some RSS feed which contains new questions for my tags. Is there some feature at AskUbuntu? If no, can I sort the list by date?
@mateo_salta lol a bit standoffish. You did not know or did not want to know? chat was busy when i first asked then went inactive. your comment confirmed what i had assumed. at least Seth was tactful! :)
I am running Ubuntu 12.04 on my server but since the upgrade from 10.04 I can no longer reach any outside sources of the server.

I've started thinking about ways for users to populate fields more quickly on applications that don't have intuitive field names or APIs, but that's a later goal. I'm working on some other stuff for the moment

Hi,
My Ubuntu 12.10 is damaged. After I log in, the very right menu (of users, shutdown, etc.) doesn't have any item, the internet connection isn't establish and the hard disks don't appear while I still can access File System. That happened after I executed a set of new commands (to get Hadoop w...
