I've voted to close it as a duplicate of the target you proposed there. As far as I'm aware, that's the best one.

I've voted to reject this edit with a custom message:

> The most significant effect of this edit is to introduce code formatting incorrectly, presenting "file" as part of the filename.

It needs at leas tone more review.

OT Mint

too broad

unclear, arguably no repro

dupe, arguably opinion-based

not OT "EOL", 12.04 was supported when it was asked

unclear

OT Mint

probably not unclear - I think the OP really just didn't know how to navigate in the menu

dupe

dupe

seems dupe

probably not unclear - see the OP's self-answer (I don't think the problem described there is usually a driver problem, so that answer may well help others, though maybe the question is a duplicate of something)

OT, not about the site (should be on main)

not no repro

@EliahKagan it was approved. Another edit was suggested and I "improved" that one, but all of the changes made by the earlier edit suggestion remain apart from the one you mentioned, so I hope it is ok. I don't know whether it should be web server or webserver

@EliahKagan haha yes

@EliahKagan I've exhausted my knowledge about the topic in my previous comments :(

1:54 PM

@EliahKagan Seems like I found some clues.

In in.bhargavrao.stackoverflow.natty.printers.RaidersRoomPostPrinter.java, room id is set to be 54445 which is the room id of SEBotics.

And interestingly, in.bhargavrao.stackoverflow.natty.printers.TemporaryRoomPostPrinter.java also contains room id 54445 and site name askubuntu

Both were written Apr 1, 2017. Seems like TemporaryRoomPostPrinter.java was actually meant to be deleted and was a part of experiment for RaidersRoomPostPrinter.java.

That said, in.bhargavrao.stackoverflow.natty.printers.SoBoticsPostPrinter.java and in.bhargavrao.stackoverflow.natty.roomdata.SOBoticsChatRoom.java contains same roomId.

I'm just guessing that maybe roomId is confusing Natty.

So as of now roomId 54445 is being set/returned by 3 classes. in.bhargavrao.stackoverflow.natty.printers.RaidersRoomPostPrinter.java, in.bhargavrao.stackoverflow.natty.printers.TemporaryRoomPostPrinter.java and in.bhargavrao.stackoverflow.natty.roomdata.SeboticsRoom.java.

Pretty old question, but OT

IIRC 1) wasn't a number formatting. Or am I missing something?

What should I do with this? He has provided a link to one of his own answers... Shouldn't he have added this as a comment? Should I flag it or just leave it?

@SasukeUchiha flag as NAA. Moderators may convert it into a comment

kk. Thanks @Kulfy

Commenting is a privilege and is earned at 50 rep points. They can't leave a comment even if they want ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

isn't that an answer?

6:07 PM

I believe "This post shows how to install the Guttenprint driver: askubuntu.com/a/1253141/595992" is more like a comment.

@Zanna Well yeah. It would have been more acceptable if he had given more details on the answer rather than just providing a link

He is just redirecting to another of his own answers to the almost same question

Looks like he found a solution and searched ask ubuntu for possible questions that he can add that solution and added it

And he does have 50 rep. LOL

I almost left "(See Pic 3)" but thanks to you catching my mistake yesterday I didn't :D

@SasukeUchiha that is not a bad thing to do, only if the questions are really the same, one should flag them as dupes

I guess so but that still sounds more like a comment. Oh well. too late now. I have already flagged it

WHY do people do this! askubuntu.com/review/first-posts/1059621

I am not going to edit that.

@Kulfy but "you can also use the Guttenprint driver" seems like an answer shrug

@SasukeUchiha Well they have now but they didn't have then :)

And flagging privilege is earned at 15 rep points/

6:13 PM

@SasukeUchiha this person might be using speech-to-text because they can't type easily for some reason

we don't know

I work with a lot of dyslexic folks who would end up with something like that when trying to write something in our site

@Zanna Partial answer? :facepalm:

@Kulfy 🤷‍♂️

@Zanna If it was text to speech, wouldn't the spelling have been better?

@SasukeUchiha Editing is a volunteer work. If you like, do. If not, leave :)

I didn't spot any spelling errors at first glance. Anyway I will edit the post

@SasukeUchiha It isn't a "me too" answer.

Well the OP is neither asking a question in answer section.

6:22 PM

@Kulfy Oops. Thanks. Better now? You cut off a big chunk off that with the edit

I only redacted commentary.

@Kulfy Not the OP but that is kind of a question. "I am sure there should be ways to disable the behavior because that's just bad." He is more or less asking how to do it indirectly

@Kulfy True. That was a lot of beating around the bush he had

But in the end they said, "The best solution for me was I removed Ubuntu 20.04 immediately and switched back to Ubuntu Mate."

@Kulfy That was to his own problem. His problem about centred windows. He only says he noticed the problem and that's it about the OP's question

askubuntu.com/review/late-answers/1059624 NAA and me too? And a guide on how to format...

If switching Desktop Environments solves the issue, it may consider as an answer, IMO. IIRC once a user was facing a login loop in GDM and them LightDM and boom, no more login loop. And that was an answer.

6:30 PM

@Kulfy Maybe, but then he should specifically say that instead of stating a problem he is facing and providing an answer to his own problem!

Everyone has their own way to answer 🙃

Uh. btw, when do you guys sleep? It's past 12 Or are you waiting ~1 hour for election results. You both have very good (almost certain) chances of being elected, don't you?

Zanna has good chances. I'm not sure about myself. 😄

Ravexina is also a good candidate AFAIK

But everyone loves a good pug... :P

:)

6:37 PM

going to bed with immediate effect!

@SasukeUchiha I think the results will come at 0230 for us?

Well gotta go sleep. I have a class early tomorrow. Good luck @Kulfy @Zanna. Hopefully I will see you tomorrow (I mean today) and you will have good news.

@Zanna It says election ends in 1 hour

@SasukeUchiha last year there was an election and I thought I was going to get elected, but I didn't. So, nothing will surprise me...

good night :)

@Kulfy Yes, I voted 1-@Zanna, 2-@Kulfy, 3-Ravexina

Good night. cya. and most importantly TAKE CARE AND STAY SAFE

Corona is only in detected from people who come from foreign countries and are in Quarantine centers in SL.

@Zanna 1:30

@Zanna Not exactly. I have to clean up the mess my dog made. A Labrador. NOT a pug. :)

[ Natty | Sentinel ] 18.04 WPS could not find printer in Ubuntu 18.04.1 By: Rob 3.5;

@pomsky But I'm genuinely surprised to see that the voting pattern on the answers by the candidates in that Q&A page didn't correlate positively (excluding Zanna) with the actual votes cast during the election. o.O (cc @Kulfy)

@EliahKagan @Zanna can easily take care of it now :)

@EliahKagan I know of one question titled Why is Wayland better?, but it doesn't feel like an appropriate target for this one.
