Update available message after installing update the file is a flag, there's no need to do this at all. |

Firefox's popping up advertisement windows be advised that you are installing an ad-blocker, not just a popup blocker here. It might be a good thing, but it will block more then just popups. This means that you might need to shut it off for some sites to have either all features working, or just to comply with their wishes (some sites do not want you to use an adblocker). Now I'm not saying this is good or bad one way or the other, but you should be aware I guess.. |

error : you need to load the kernel first Could you add more detail to how what when were this happens? What instructions did you follow, what steps did you complete, where dit you get this error, what hapened before and/or after, did you get a prompt, etc. Be as descriptive as possible. Put some effort in the question. |

“The VPN service failed to start” under Ubuntu 13.04 Why would using the old init.d method be better then using the service system? It calls System V and upstart scripts, so I don't see why this would help? |

What is the equivalent to the Windows “Program Files” folder? (Where do things go when I install them?) I think this question would be improved by a reason for wanting an equivalent. There is a difference between, for instance, "lets see what I have installed and what I can run", and "I'm trying to find the save-game of this/that piece of software, so I can fiddle with it" and maybe even "I suspect some setting-file / ini-file for this program that I can tweak". Those could all be "Program Files" question, but have different answers here. |

Update available message after installing update btw. should we / I submit a bug-report that the flag wasn't removed? Is this a thing that happens to all upgrades, or was it just a fluke? |

13.04 wake screen from suspend instructions are ambiguous if you want precise instructions, you might want to add what your actual goal is. And where your instructions come from.... |

How to sandbox applications? It could be, although I'm currently not aware of real threats like that, certainly not non-targeted ones. You should consider the attacker writing malware in a game would not go to those lengths. Now a spear-attack on you alone might ofcourse, if they know your layout, but still I don't think that's your first concern. If you are that certain they are mallicious you should really set up an isolated box anyway, network wise. |

Cannot get mysql to work/start even after clean install yes, your datafiles are in /var/lib/mysql. mind you THIS IS YOUR DATA, and it's not trivial to move those around just like that. But if you content is backupped, go ahead and empty that dir.. |

Cannot get mysql to work/start even after clean install it looks like you have innodb databases that can't be recovered? Did you try and remove those? |

Cannot get mysql to work/start even after clean install did mysql leave any logs in /var/log? any place (dmesg? syslog) where you can find why the startup failed? |

Cannot get mysql to work/start even after clean install I'm not sure, but if you remove mysql-server, do your config files get removed? because if the config file is broken, the server won't start, and you'd get this (because the error is that the 'start' action of the service doesn't work). I'd suggest apt-get rid of it, manually remove (backup!) stuff from /etc, make a real clean install. |

Frame rate counter I'ts not about the answers, it's about the fact the question is the same.. You're not asking a different question, so this would kinda be a 'duplicate' |
