disk check help is outdated

We will not do screenshots for this page.

I am running Ubuntu 16.04 and not Ubuntu-Studio. The web page seems accurate to me. I did everything it said to do and it worked fine. The only discrepancy I noticed was for Step 3 "SMART Status" seems to actually be called "Assessment".

Because Launchpad doesn't show them? =)

Without screens it won't go anythere.

Thanks for your report, anatoly. I updated the text.

Link in email is broken.

So what the problem with the screens? I can't validate your text, because
I am not sure that it describes the same program version that I have on my
non-Gnome desktop.

Yep. You may want to file a bug to the Launchpad project about that.

Screenshots add to the maintenance burden, and the desktop guide only contains a few screenshots. We simply don't have the resources to include screenshots everywhere. That's the reason.

I based it on 3.18, which is present in Ubuntu 16.04.

If you call people resources, the you could make it possible by
lowering entry barrier to submit changes (including screens). I
could add it long ago together with pull request.

In the Bug Description the page linked to must have been updated since Anatoly filed the bug. I think the text that Anatoly saw was probably this:

https://help.ubuntu.com/12.04/ubuntu-help/disk-check.html

{Note: The above page will presumably be deleted at end of life of Ubuntu 12.04.)

@Chris: It was updated with the revision I linked to in comment #3. As regards 16.04 we made an exception and backported a few changes (bug #1592162). So at the time when this bug report was submitted, the page with 16.04 in the URL was not the same as it is now.
