How can i remove the force yes option on apt-get in maemo 5?
Very much the same way as you set the "yes-answer" to be forced always. You set it yourself, right?

I'm using root and i've installed easy ubuntu lxde, do they make any conflicts?
Why and how would they (be able to) make any conflicts? You're running Ubuntu in a chroot surrounding.

I've use ovviously the -force --yes command in x-terminal some days ago, can i re-configure apt-get to get the question back?
So, you've set your apt-get to force all questions to be answered "yes", not ad hoc, but in a config file? I'd assume that will be /etc/apt/apt.conf.d/00maemo. Have a look there (or paste the content).

That being said: It's a very bad idea to force apt to answer "yes" to all questions, and depending on whether you have extras-x enabled, it could simply render your device useless if some install goes wrong, forcing you to reflash.
