Dupe of something? No repro? Or should it have an answer saying that the solution was to upgrade to 20.04?

I've rejected this edit with a custom message:
> "fulfil" is an accepted spelling (merriam-webster.com/dictionary/fulfil), and spelling and grammar in quoted text should not be changed.
It needs at least one more review.
I've reject this edit with the custom message:
> This radically changes the post by removing the information that disabling the on-board camera restored Bluetooth functionality ("BT returned").
It, too, needs at least one more review.

oh yes?
Eliah Kagan
Eliah Kagan
The comments on Cody Gray's MSO post, linked in my meta answer, seem to suggest something like that.
But on Ask Ubuntu, the problem is decidedly not fixed and has never been.
I think this is especially a problem for questions closed as no repro.
They just say off-topic.
Unless you're high rep or the OP.

I think there is effectively no company awareness of how this affects our site because we're small and CMs don't do as much here. I think also that there is very little awareness here among high-rep users, because high-rep users see the useful information.
Really it should get a bug post on our meta, because it specifically affects us in a different way. It's probably a weakness of my recent meta answer to suggest that it affects all sites the same way. On further consideration, it probably affects us much worse than most sites, since our sub-reasons are complex and non-obvious.

It has three close votes. Personally I think it is reasonable for a mod to hammer it, given that there's a specific benefit of doing so.

OP has an account in Unix.SE. Wonder why post here then?
I would like to know for sure, is 14.04 supported or not?
I found this question and hopefully, it will answer my questions.
Was slightly confused because of the comments here and the linked wiki page.

@SasukeUchiha I rejected your edit suggestion to the Trello board guidelines because of the way I think SEDE should be pronounced (see this post on English Language & Usage)
but I am mentioning this to thank you for suggesting that edit, as it made me edit the guidelines myself
I'm not sure my edit made the guide more accessible, and I should probably edit it further, but at least I did something :)

@pomsky I think vanadium's claim "There is no need for the .desktop file to be set executable" is absolutely wrong.
@pomsky I never used Ubuntu in phones so I'm not sure about this. Neither I have been in similar situation on desktop. That said, I think the answers may also work for PC installations as well.
(unrelated) There have been many suggested edits since past week which unnecessarily bolds some parts and they are being approved without removing that formatting.
Am I the only one concerned?

if someone is persistently doing something we don't like in suggested edits, I usually write a comment on one of the posts, or ping them if they have been to chat, and harangue them about it as nicely as I can manage
@jokerdino I will try writing a query for it
it will be a really ugly query
Kulfy
Kulfy
@Zanna No. They aren't available on chat. I rejected around 5 of them. I'm not sure if people really look at reject comments on approved edits. I mean, the edits which I rejected but other reviewers have approved.

@Kulfy I mean, you can ping editors of a post
if the edit was approved
so you can @ them in a comment on one of the posts they edited
they will get a notification so they probably won't ignore it
Kulfy
Kulfy
That's a good option.
pomsky

@Kulfy I'm not sure about the newer releases with the Desktop Icons extension, but for the older releases, where Nautilus handles desktop items, marking as executable is necessary to be able to 'allow & launch' the .desktop launcher.
Probably the extension does thing differently? (I'm not sure)
Note that it's not necessary to mark as executable if you put them in ~/.local/share/applications/ as the GNOME Shell would automatically add the associated application to the application grid.
Zanna

@Zanna ugh can't do it
Kulfy

@pomsky Indeed but vanadium stated "There is no need for the .desktop file to be set executable. For use on the Desktop, place it in the ~/Desktop folder. On the desktop, right-click the icon and choose "Allow launch"." which at least on 20.04 won't work. On double clicking it will open the file in Gedit.
pomsky
pomsky
@Kulfy Yeah, but the question was specific to Ubuntu Touch. I thought that's what you were asking.
Kulfy
Kulfy
Oh well, I meant if the answers would work on PC installations as well. Sorry for the confusion.
@jokerdino Related meta question 🙃
pomsky
pomsky
@Kulfy I'm pretty sure there are already existing Q&As for that. But the question about Ubuntu Touch should not be heavy-handedly closed as a dupe of such a question for the reasons I explained before.
@Kulfy For example this one
Kulfy
Kulfy
I agree. But I wasn't able to find similar question for Ubuntu.

@Kulfy I don't have a system with a newer Ubuntu releases with me right now, so unfortunately I cannot check. If you confirmed it, then consider leaving a comment below vanadium's answer. Also perhaps fix / leave-a-comment answers posted to this question.
Anyway, better to delete the question too.

"Allow launching" adds executable bit for the owner. So, I think "There is no need for the .desktop file to be set executable" seems somewhat contradictory, IMO.
Interestingly, double clicking from Nautilus don't work.
pomsky
pomsky
@Kulfy Then I don't see a problem. As an end-user, I would always read it as "There is no need for the .desktop file to be manually set executable".
@Kulfy Yeah, GNOME controversially removed the feature sometimes back.

IIRC it used to work in GNOME 3.28, i.e. 18.04.

Makes sense since article was written in May 2018, just 1 month after the release of 18.04.

@Kulfy Also Ubuntu shipped both 18.04 and 18.10 with an older version of Nautilus (3.26.x) to provide the legacy desktop-icon-handling feature.

I believe the uTorrent interface shows where it puts files. One should be able to go into its settings and see and change this. But it's been years since I've seen uTorrent used, much less used it myself. (I use qBittorrent.) Is there something this question about finding out where uTorrent has downloaded a file can be duped to? If not, it needs another answer.
