Disabling Dialogue prompts in ubuntu

Question

I switched from Windows to Ubuntu a while ago now, but various popup dialogue boxes that prompt for confirmations continue to irritate me. Especially the ones when closing a Terminal that's running another process ("Close This Terminal?: There is still a process running in this terminal. Closing the terminal will kill it." Cancel | Close Terminal), the one about updates that runs intermittently on start up ("Your Ubuntu release is not supported anymore"), and the one when I connect my phone ("You have inserted a digital media player").

Is there a way to simply disable all pop-up dialogue boxes?

I'm using 11.10 due to a compatibility issue I had with 12 and a general dislike of 13.

Your question is off topic because 11.10 (Oneiric Ocelot) is not supported any more, and has not been since May. Take a look at both Xubuntu and Lubuntu which are supported. — Warren Hill, Oct 14 '13 at 10:51

No, you cannot simply disable all dialogs that may pop up.

Thanks for reply. And the three specific ones I mentioned? – Sixhobbits Oct 13 '13 at 16:44

There should be a "do this always" checkbox on the digital media dialog. The others cannot be disabled. – dobey Oct 13 '13 at 21:39
