^^ I don't think it's recommending wavemon for the purpose asked about in the question, but instead seems to be recommending it in addition to it for other purposes. I think its intention is to comment.
dupe (of the target that's specifically about that software)
not no repro, either the presence of devices named that way always in practice means there's both an SSD and a magnetic drive or it doesn't. The question should be answerable.
If not, then that one should have an answer that covers pkexec and explains PolicyKit, and also explains what the alternatives are to gksudo in systems that don't have it (which is currently most but not all supported Ubuntu releases).
I've often come across posts on forums or other websites where you see people joking in such a manner about running/logging in as root as if it's something awful and everyone ought to know about it. However, there isn't much that a search reveals on the matter.
It may be widely known to Linux e...
This is a question from a rookie just trying to understand how and why things work like they do. Why do I have to use sudo everytime? The second use of sudo in a term session doesn't require a password so it knows I have access to root so why can't I just type 'mkdir directory' without sudo?
Maybe, though in this recent question the OP doesn't even know sudo exists and just needs to be told to use it, not why it is widely regarded as better than various alternatives.
Also, neither of those makes it obvious how to use sudo (even for the common and easy case of running a command as root).
@EliahKagan I CVd as a duplicate of Always Sudo Privileges. It might be nice to add "Why is it bad to log in as root?" so users don't think that we're depraved.
@EliahKagan Your answer has a dividing line in it. Maybe they want to review it manually before editing it because of the dividing line, so they don't break your formatting.
All the image titles have to be put at the bottom after the [1]: and [2]: URL links now or else they won't be rendered on the page. The syntax for an image title is to enclose it in a pair of " characters.
That still seems like a bug of course, but I had misunderstood and thought it was meta-specific.
@karel Can you link to one of your posts that has such headings but was not migrated (or that is otherwise incompatible with CommonMark but has not yet been migrated)? This one, which had such headings and also a horizontal rule, was migrated. So the horizontal rule doesn't seem like it's what's preventing it.
Every one of my answers that I found so far that wasn't edited automatically I already edited to be compatible with CommonMark syntax. I checked only 20% of my answers so far.
That's no problem. The revision history should still reveal what's going on. Can you give a link to any post that was not edited automatically but that was incompatible with CommonMark?
I hear the script doesn't edit it if there was a difference in HTML.
> Things might get funky when you're editing a post that renders differently with the new CommonMark renderer. Again, if we detected that a post would look differently when rendered with the new CommonMark renderer during the migration, we wouldn't save a new version of this post as part of the migration.
@jokerdino Right, but I think they might think that the CommonMark migration for Ask Ubuntu is totally completed, as it's shown with a check mark next to the site name and migration date on the big meta post about the migration.
So I think it's worth reporting a bug about this (unless an existing bug report for it can be found).
Yes, the migration will fix compatibility issues in a post's Markdown automatically as good as we can. Chances are, there are some fixes that we haven't covered yet but most trivial issues will be fixed automatically. To reiterate: if we can't fix a post automatically and we'll discover that the new HTML would look differently, we will not touch this post at all. — Ham Vocke ♦Jun 1 at 14:04
@ilkkachu that's pretty spot on, yes. Whenever we find one of these posts, we'll save it so we can investigate what's going on. I expect that most of these occurrences will be trivial. The next person editing won't even notice that something's changed. For those cases where the post looks fundamentally different, we'll add more automatic fixes and re-run the migration. It's a matter of trade-offs. We could put in the work and fix every single issue carefully or focus on the big ones, ignore the trivial ones and cause mild inconvenience if someone edits a post moving forward. — Ham Vocke ♦Jun 1 at 14:42
The example @karel gave is one where I think the post looks fundamentally different. (Viewing the HTML of the latest revision shows it with all the headings broken. It's fine now from the cached HTML of course.) It's possible that my view of what's fundamental is different from the SE devs' view, but if not, I think it may be unintentional that they consider our site's migration complete while such posts have not been migrated.
(unrelated) I reviewed this edit as Approve, but it should really be edited further, to clarify that the first part is intended to reference the older answer while the second part is new.
The second part is actually much more likely to help than the first part (and thus than the older answer) as reinstalling a metapackage doesn't (usually) achieve anything that installing it doesn't achieve (because it doesn't own the damaged or missing files, due to them being provided by its dependencies).
@EliahKagan You can compare the before and after revisions of this answer that I edited a few minutes ago, to see to what lengths I had to go to make this answer render properly in responsive design mode. In Firefox responsive design mode is accessed by Web Developer -> Responsive Design Mode.
The point I'm trying to make is that HTML requires a lot of unnecessary editing work compared to markdown text, so I use markdown whenever possible instead of mixing in HTML now in order to save time.
wrong canned comment, the author is trying to get help with their problem, so they should ask a question
(It might be okay for them to post that answer as a comment, but it wouldn't be very helpful, and it's not actually requesting clarification on any existing post.)
no longer needed - The answer might be wrong (I'm not sure) but it's not intended as a comment and does recommend something different. I've edited the answer so that this is clear.
@EliahKagan I think it just points out that the other (accepted) answer has a typo, it should be xinput instead of input. OP is either not very experienced to call out the typo or doesn't know that suggesting an edit to other's answers is allowed here.
Probably better to fix the accepted answer and delete this one?
It may look somewhat reasonable as the OP improved their answer after deletion. But I would recommend not undeleting the answer as it's a wrong answer after all.
The question is not about changing / adding keyboard shortcuts at all, it asks for a way to access the advanced keyboard layout options, which are easily accessibly in MATE, in GNOME (see the accepted answer, disclosure: by moi).
This is a question from a rookie just trying to understand how and why things work like they do. Why do I have to use sudo everytime? The second use of sudo in a term session doesn't require a password so it knows I have access to root so why can't I just type 'mkdir directory' without sudo?
