@Kulfy I cast the last vote to reopen that question.

@karel Now I think we should close it as dupe of this

@Natty tp
Is this VMware question a duplicate of anything?
 
@Kulfy Done. I'll also vote to close any other questions that are duplicates of How do I install VMware Player?.
 
I don't think this question is OT bug just because there's a packing request bug report filed on GitHub.
@karel I think most of them haven't gotten reopened yet.
 
First need to reopen these: 1, 2, 3
I won't be able to cast close vote on this I believe
 
@Kulfy Two of these three questions have been reopened and one of them has been close voted as a duplicate of How do I install VMware Player?.
 
Yeah. Thanks.
Only @EliahKagan can cast close vote on the 3rd one.
 
7:03 AM
Oh, right. Because I haven't closed it before and you have.
I've voted to close it.
And the second one.
The first one is still not yet reopened.
 
7:16 AM
Can this question be closed as a duplicate, or should it be answered?
I'm pretty sure we have something about how changing configuration files or scripts that set environment variables typically only affects new logins, but I'm not sure if it will be obvious to the OP (and people who find the question by searching) that it applies to this specific situation.
Actually, their question could be interpreted as saying they did try that. I've commented to request clarification.

This is weird. The review says the Community bot approved the post without anyone else reviewing it. Normally, for an Edit review, it shows the Community bot's approval and also the reviewer's own edit.
What actually happened was that I clicked Edit, made more changes, submitted them, was told that I couldn't submit the edit, tried again, was told my edit didn't change the post at all, checked and found that it had been successfully applied, and checked the review item and it only showed Community as approving it.

[ SmokeDetector | MS ] Manually reported answer (94): Looking for a school admin app for Ubuntu by suman998 on askubuntu.com
 
@EliahKagan Reported in Charcoal HQ
@EliahKagan Bug? I don't know if it's reproducible.
 
@Kulfy I suppose I should report it on Meta Stack Exchange.
@Kulfy Thanks.
 
@EliahKagan Yeah. Or may be Ask Ubuntu Meta since the bug happened while using Ask Ubuntu.

I believe that this isn't an answer and being a CW answer serves no benefit. But the answerer argues that they made a CW answer so that more information can be added to it (see comments).
Also I think the question is too-broad since it deals with 5 different errors. If it is to be closed as dupe, it would need 5 different questions. I believe that all general errors are now covered in ~9 years on the site.
 
@Kulfy Yeah, that's NAA. The possibility that it could be edited into an answer in the future doesn't make it one now (or at any point since it was posted).
 
@Kulfy I think the intent of that question was to block so many potential nth duplicate questions that it might be better for AU to not close it.

OT no-repro, OP hasn't visited AU in 6 years. + How to install VMware nth duplicate.
 
@Natty tp
 
@karel I'm not sure if it's a dupe. I'd guess OP downloaded the bundle file which by default goes in ~/Downloads but they are running chmod while being in ~/ and thus the error
Do we have something for that? like how to use chmod?
 
11:25 AM
@Kulfy I figured the OP was using the wrong version number, because the filename in the question is the same as the filename in the linked guide which was created much earlier.
 
@EliahKagan I'd expect answer to be an answer even if it's CW at any given time.
 
@Kulfy Yes. I have flagged that NAA and voted to delete it.
 
Thanks.
 
OT no-repro
 
@Kulfy But I believe we do have something for how to refer to files that are in directories like the user's Downloads, Desktop, Documents, etc., directories.
 
11:26 AM
@karel So should the question remain open? I'm not sure if it's answerable or would get any good answer. It's already ~7 year old.
 
@EliahKagan Though I may have been thinking of How do I cd into a directory in the home folder?, which is not quite that.
 
@EliahKagan Hmm. That also makes sense. May be voting to close as unclear is appropriate.
 
@Kulfy My close vote was OT, no-repro.
 
@karel There ain't any vote on this. Were you talking about any other question?
 
11:45 AM
@Kulfy I didn't close vote that question because it is a good signpost to block so many nth duplicate questions, but I did close vote the no-repro questions linked to in my latest comments.
 
Oh. Ok. But that question doesn't have any answer as of now. I don't know about which duplicate question you are talking.
 
12:02 PM
@Kulfy My close vote reason wasn't duplicate. It was off topic.

@Natty tp
not off-topic, unless I'm missing something - it should be possible to find out, from within Ubuntu, if the card can be used that way
currently unclear, or maybe dupe of something general about setting up VNC
seems not dupe, in that the question says specifically how the OP believes it differs from that question

@pomsky Added.

@Kulfy The first one was successfully reopened. I've voted to close it as a duplicate of the right question. cc @karel
