      “Insufficient detail. Please ask a specific question.”

      This is a very real problem from the answering side. So many people would rather have you guess what they’re trying to ask and then get mad at you when you guess wrong.

        I know whenever I try to help someone with a Linux issue it’s always an uphill battle to get them to stop guessing what they think the problem might be and show me the logs.

        People really don’t want to give you the information you need to help them.

          To be fair, people who know which logs to attach and how to get them usually already know enough to troubleshoot the issue by themselves.
