I have a user account on the ubuntu forums that I haven't used in 6 or 7 years. Some weeks ago I posted a question about a specific software upgrade problem in the forums and realized I had never posted there. So there goes my one post for a ~9 years-old account.

Of course, as usual and as expected, I found out the answer 2 minutes after posting my question.

edit: it's 9 years-old account.



And you wrote the answer you were looking for as another post in the thread right!


Very few things annoy me more than Googling a problem I'm having, finding a post where someone has the exact same problem and then them following up with "Nevermind, figured it out!" and not explaining the solution.


Or worse: once you get them to spill the beans, they admit it wasn't the good question and the problem wasn't related.


I think I did !

edit: Since no one had answered I simply edited the post with the "solution" :) (seems like this got me 3 beans).
