Questions on how to use a program that technically are available on ubuntu?

Is it fine to ask questions about boot errors from log files?

I think bodhi hit the nail in his comment: IMHO filing a bug report is preferable as it results in actual fixes which helps everyone, so I tend to close them. If there´s a solution that gets rid …

Let's identify if this question is on-topic

Why did you close this question instead of migrating it?

Rules of migration: Don't migrate crap. Only migrate if the target site wants the question. See No. 1. If OP ask to be migrated, let it. See No. 3. That question violates 1, 3 and 5. ;)
