@iSeth I don't think you have to do anything differently. That one was a hard call and I'm not even sure I'm right. More importantly, I see most of your flags in the 10k user flag queue. If I don't say something, that virtually always means I agree and (if I have close votes) have voted to close. As far as I can see, your error rate is very, very low. (I think I incorrectly vote to close more often.)
@iSeth When I'm at my computer, I probably see most of them. They leave the queue when they're handled, but as long as they're in the queue I can see them. Actually, they appear in the flag queue and often also in the close queue, so with both of those, I'm likely to see many of them (assuming I'm at my computer and on AU).
@iSeth Well that's not just me. Multiple 10k users have the opportunity to review the same post. And some may be marked helpful solely through the action of a moderator, even if nobody reviewed it in the 10k flag queue. Anyway, close flags are responded to positively by voting to close. I often see good flags in the queue that I have to ignore until the next day because I'm out of close votes. For those, they're considered helpful because of the actions of other 10k users and/or mods.

@EliahKagan I think the point @iSeth is trying to make is that he has some flags that were tagged helpful, but the questions remain open, without any indication of anything.
The correct answer on the program for locking in LXDE/Lubuntu is "lxlock".
I can't find a lot of info on it, but it seems to be included in the lxsession package.

Libre Office shouldn't open an impress file in Writer, but in its own Impress. As such: Try to force it to open through Impress (via context menu or the Ctrl+O dialogue on Impress).
If that doesn't work, it's either an issue with the file extension or the collation you used, in which case we'd n...
Ctrl+Alt+? is only used when the keyboard layout doesn't include an Alt-Gr key, as such it is supported by Windows for emulation purposes (as in: keeping the functionality across multiple layouts).
Using the Alt-Gr+? combination is standard and should be supported by your keyboard layout.

I've got many softwares installed. But when the new version is released I'm not getting notified from the application that an update is available.

@iSeth No problem! Remember that some of this is subjective though, and I may sometimes be wrong ...especially if I use words like "I think" or "I'm not sure if..." in the comments. :)
I'm trying to figure out if this question should be migrated from Stack Overflow to Ask Ubuntu. It seems hardly on topic for Stack Overflow and was probably only kept open because there it had answers and there was no AU back then. It's a good question (always important for migration). On the other hand, it's super old and it might not do anybody any good here at this point.
My development team uses a Ubuntu 6.06 LTS Server VMware image as our development environment. It has our development stack on it. I would like to upgrade that to Ubuntu 8.10 Desktop (Note: Desktop, not Server) . . . while not breaking any of the development stack in the original image. The de...
This seems abandoned, but there's not enough information to try to answer it. We should perhaps close it as not a real question. If the OP comes back to provide more info, it can be reopened.
I have a problem with Ubuntu installed on my laptop. It cannot find any wireless network. I'm am trying to connect to the school wifi and I can connect successfully when using Windows. How do I make Ubuntu detect and connect to the network? Hope you can solve my problem.
Even though the OP didn't end up using the answers here, I think this should be considered to have good answers and not too localized. It would be nifty if it could be closed as a duplicate though (if we have this information somewhere else).

From the description of being too localized, we should close it.
If the question can be answered with "not possible" and the owner of the question is unwilling to stop seeking for an answer - I fail to see how it will lead to a useful situation for future visitors.
@RolandiXor we are closing them as abandoned and using too localized as an option for that, if the user is still around and wants to have it open we have no choice but to let him have his way.

Every time I try to connect my laptop (NVIDIA GeForce GT 420M) on my TV via HDMI I get this error:
Failed to set MetaMode (1) DFP-0: nvidia-auto-select
What does this mean and how can I solve the error?
Oh and we should get the option to turn answers into comments.
(basically - some mod powers without having to be a mod - which protects users but lets us be more useful to the site).
(we wouldn't have access to private information or be able to merge user accounts, or have single vote closure power, or anything - but we would be able to be of more use to the community)

I`ve done something really stupid.

So, I killed the Unity 2D process and it automatically logged out of my user and went to this screen:

how can I resolve this issue?
I've tried every guide I can find online but nothing seems to work (i've tried rEFI and every other solution I can find). Is there some trick to this that i'm not seeing?
I think the problem lies with the pendrive.
Any ideas?
To remove VirtualBox, I actually recommend running this command and not replacing * with anything (just run it exactly like so):

is there any way to create a ubuntu live disk that includes all apps in my pc? i installed a lot of apps & gnome 3.2 on my ubuntu 11.10 & i want to share them with my friends on a disk that is live & able to install my distro on their PCs. do you have any idea?
It seems we were wrong to close this. On second look, it seems like a separate, not too localized problem with a perfectly good solution that will help others. I recommend we reopen this, and then make that question a duplicate of this. Otherwise, people searching with this issue will be very confused when they get here and might not get an answer.
