I flaged as dupe, I'd also written a command.

A: How can I alter the next/previous tab shortcut in Terminal?

Select Edit in the top menu, then choice Keyboard Shortcuts. Now you will have open a window showing all the shortcuts available for the terminal. Scroll the menu and you will see Switch to Next Tab, now double click over this option and press the keys (new shortcut) that you want to. Clo...

A: Unknown Folder on System root /.rpmdb

RPM (Red Hat Package Manager) is a package management system. It RPM was originally written in 1997 by Erik Troan and Marc Ewing for use in Red Hat Linux, but now is used in many GNU/Linux distributions. Working behind the scenes of the package manager is the RPM database (RPMDB), stored in /var...

askubuntu.com/questions/338170/… and askubuntu.com/questions/338160/…

Same question by the same user. He created two accounts. Delete the first one.

I can't close vote as duplicate because the second one doesn't have an upvoted answer.

Alaa

@Braiam yeah I know, exactly!

@EliahKagan question: do we not see who flagged the question for closing in the Close Votes queue?

Braiam

seen you haven't made use of your close votes :P

Alaa

Haha what do you mean, because of that same question same user thing?

Braiam

11:24 AM

@Alaa nono, just that I didn't see you in the stats

Alaa

11:47 AM

Oh, yeah. I'm struggling a bit with it =D. I never like doing anything wrong, so if I have a doubt about something, I skip it.

It's a weird queue, really. There are lots of "unclear what you're asking" votes, but that flag is just too vague for me. When do we use it and when do we don't =/.

Braiam

12:02 PM

@Alaa I think that you should ask yourself this: I would flag this as X

btw, did you read stackoverflow.com/help/privileges/close-question ?

and also this one meta.superuser.com/q/3154/235569

Alaa

12:15 PM

Yeah I thought the same thing, although I have very rarely used the "unclear what you're asking", that's why even if I ask my self "would I flag this", I answer "how the hell should I know?" =D

I've also read that meta question, but yeah I didn't thoroughly read it.

I'll do so, once I'm done with work.

@Braiam Anyways, let's not chat here, this group is for reporting evil things =D.

Braiam

meh, a little bit of chitchat here is good... sometimes we use the General room instead of this one....

@Braiam That is a long tradition that we have :)

I think that this should be closed:

Q: Is there a easy way to test ubuntu on new notebooks before buying it?

Is there an easy way to check a notebook's hardware compatibility with ubuntu before you buy it? I really don't want to buy a notebook home and find several bugs caused by the hardware. I know that DELL has some notebooks which are pre-installed ubuntu12.04LTS, i.e. the new xps. But what about ...
