This question was asked and there was nothing in the Original post that indicates that the post was off-topic. Some hours after I answered The OP came back and provided a not an answer which indicated that the OP was using Mint. This info was subsequently edited into the question making the question as off-topic as the aforementioned not an answer.

In a case such as this should the question be abandoned as off topic or preserved in it's on topic form? Which approach is more likely to be helpful to future users of the site?
