[ Natty | Sentinel ] screen Can't change brightness since Ubuntu 16.04 LTS By: Vikram Pudi 3.5;

This question has been edited to say Focal Fossa is being used, rather than Debian. Even if accurate, the question would be off-topic, just for the Ubuntu+1 sub-reason. Under the circumstances, I think it's reasonable to delete the question at any time, if it becomes 20k deletable.

Here's the reivew item for it in the reopen queue (automatically enqueued due to the OP's edit).

dupe - it might be good to add the main password reset question as a target

In theory the question may be OT "EOL" but resetting the password is a reasonable step toward upgrading the system or putting things in order to prepare for a fresh install, so I'd rather close it as a duplicate.

I think this question is probably on-topic... but it's unclear.

NAA given what the question is asking. (The answer shows the command's output, so it's probably not mistaken about what the command does; it is instead mistaken about what the question is asking. I wouldn't report this to Natty, but it can be flagged and deleted.)

This question could use a better/shorter title but I'm not thinking of an ideal one.

title looks good to me!

Okay.

I guess maybe the reason I can't think of a better title is that everything in that title serves a purpose.

This question isn't off-topic. I've voted to reopen it -- see my comment. (If it gets reopened, I'll support reclosing it as a duplicate.)

@EliahKagan VTR

@Zanna I fear your edit may create the impression that it's only in the reopen queue because it was edited.

(I'm not saying that means you shouldn't have edited it.)

I thought it would be ok, because we already have three votes. But yeah I should have waited

@EliahKagan migrated... I have no idea what it's about though

The interface says how many answers there are on a question. The OP doesn't see that many answers. I don't know if it's due to a bug, or just that the interface is complicated and they might not be clear on what's an answer.

oh right, yeah

In my experience, people who don't use SE or have only begun to use it tend not to be aware of the distinction between comments and answers, confusing either for the other.

dupe (also custom-flagged for a merger as PRATAP's answer takes a slightly different approach)

@pomsky the new one is more general so should not be merged into the other, I think. The opposite direction might be ok, not sure

@Zanna Yes, that sounds more reasonable, should've thought that beforehand :(

Also the new one probably indicates a bug, as per the question "colour" option is missing from Settings > Background which is present in older releases

You should be able to retract your custom flag, if it hasn't yet been handled and you no longer think it's correct or helpful.

@EliahKagan Will I be able to raise once more after retracting? I believe they need to be merged, but now I feel the opposite direction would be better.

For custom flags on posts, I believe you can raise another custom flag (unlike with other flag types). But I am not sure.

@EliahKagan Okay, I'm going to retract it. If I'm unable to raise another, would you please raise one for me to merge them in the opposite direction?

[ Natty | Sentinel ] apt what does this synaptic error message mean? By: bithalver 4.0;

I think this question should be reopened. The target is however more general and considers that the OP/reader wants to create a bootable USB with Ubuntu ISO and any OS. But the earlier is more specific. Also, I think the views are pretty evident that what visitors are the looking for. The target has 77k views but the other 122k views.

Using the ISO image isn't relevant but the OS is. I believe.

Any reason this answer should remain deleted? It was link-only when deleted, then expanded. Now it appears copied from ubuntu.com/download/desktop/create-a-usb-stick-on-ubuntu. But if attribution were added it would be a good resource because it has all the steps on one page. I'm not sure about the copyright status and any licensing of ubuntu.com/download/desktop/create-a-usb-stick-on-ubuntu though.

@pomsky I remember once he accused me of copying his answer which I didn't. Coincidentally my answer had positive score while his answer had 0. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

@EliahKagan it looks fine, certainly not copypasta

even the images are not from there

I was only concerned about the text. You're right though; it is different.

Do you want to raise a custom flag to request undeletion, or should I?

(We can't vote to undelete it because the third delete vote was from a moderator.)

this must be a dupe of something

@Zanna Also, sorry. I should have read more carefully before saying it appeared copied.

@EliahKagan (I have no problem doing so. OTOH perhaps you prefer to do so, or already have.)

@EliahKagan no worries :) great that you noticed it. I have flagged it

Thanks.

@EliahKagan He posted the same answer twice to the same question.

oh hahaha

Oh, right! The second answer came shortly after the first was deleted. The first could've been custom flagged by the author. Oh well.

@karel Thanks.

@Zanna May be this or this?

hmm

well the answer is there but the question is different

more basic

idk, maybe it's ok

@Zanna I'm guessing you've retracted your flag?

I think this shouldn't be closed

@EliahKagan yes

Cool. Sorry, I made the original mistake; it would've been better if I'd raised the flag that had to be retracted not made the mistake in the first place. :)

@Zanna Do you think questions asking how to install a package in universe where the solution is to enable universe should not generally be closed as duplicates of the Q&A about enabling universe? Or is there a specific reason here?

no worries, I should have looked at the page as well as the link haha

I found it by looking at the page but still did not notice that. :(

Oh well.

@EliahKagan I do think that yes, but I usually don't vote to leave open or reopen on those questions because I think other people think they should be closed. In general I don't think different specific questions should be closed as duplicates even if the target has a valid answer. But in this case, the answer has something unique, so I think I have a case to vote to leave open

(Of course I think such questions should not be closed in general, because they might get a specific answer, but when there is already a specific answer it's easier to make that argument)

@EliahKagan we got there in the end with teamwork hahaha

The LQP review comments used to begin "Welcome to Ask Ubuntu!" when the post author's account was younger than some number of days. But for some time now, they don't. Was this a deliberate design decision, based on a finding that it did not actually make people feel welcome? It seems to me that it may help people feel more welcome (and when I write custom comments accompanying NAA flags and delete votes, I do sometimes start them with "Welcome to Ask Ubuntu!").

I've been wondering about this for a while, but I was reminded of it recently in connection with the comments here. Most of the time I encounter NAA posts these days, it's not through review, and I use my own comment, which is phrased differently, and which so far doesn't seem to have upset anyone. Is there a meta post about this?

Btw, the comment I use these days, outside of review, is:

Welcome to Ask Ubuntu! You've posted this as an answer. I recommend that you [ask a new question](askubuntu.com/questions/ask) to get help with this. You can include a link to this question if it helps provide context.

[ Natty | Sentinel ] multiple-monitors VGA Port Not Working 19.10 Update By: Scott 3.5;

I seem to remember that the comment that is automatically created when we vote to close a question as a duplicate used always to be deleted when the question was closed as a duplicate, even if the comment was edited after creation, but that is not the case now (which is good, I think)

Am I remembering wrongly?

@Zanna You are remembering correctly.

The system still often deletes those comments, but it does not usually delete them if they have been edited.

I don't know if it ever deletes them if they have been edited. For a time, I recall it deleted them unless the edits were substantial in some way. Including a second link was sufficient to keep them.
