I would disagree. These questions are often duplicates of more-obvious canonical ones, which may be more general, but do solve the problem. By looking at the mouseover text of the downvote button, you will see that it states:

> This question does not show any research effort; it is unclear or not useful (click again to undo)

and since a search on AU or Ubuntu documentation can find usable answers, these questions "[do] not show any research effort".
