The Linux Mint team offer a distro called 'Debbie' which is based on Debian rather than Ubuntu. It uses the Cinnamon desktop but I haven't found that too much of a learning curve. I've installed in...
I don't want to complicate matters but I had the same problem (without the overheating) on my laptop. I've tracked it down to DPMS, which apparently stands for 'display power management signalling'...
Not really. If you look at how Zim notebook pages are stored on your computer you'll see they are simple text (.txt) files, so it wouldn't be possible to store .pdf data in that format.
What you...
Thanks very much! The verification email from Ubuntu One had arrived in my Inbox and I'd responded to that, but for some reason the email from Ubuntu Forums had gone into my spam folder and I'd...
I've been registered on Ubuntu Forums since 2009 and in the past I've started a few threads and have posted several replies to others. I haven't logged in for quite a while although I have kept an...
This is simply a request for explanation and understanding, it is not a problem to be solved.
I've noticed that when I turn on my laptop, login, and launch the web browser (I'm currently using...
Thanks for your post Vanadium!
I had looked at 'Window Manager Tweaks' but I couldn't see that it would do what I wanted. If only it offered the default option to open all windows 'aligned top...
As you say, I've now got a launcher in the menu which makes Terminal behave as I want -- thank you for all your help.
Now I just need to puzzle out how to do the same with Thunar. But I'm marking...
OK I have made some more progress with this, I think.
I created a new entry for Terminal in the Whisker menu with the command:
xfce4-terminal --geometry=+0+30
It works perfectly: the terminal...
Holger many thanks, I'm making some progress.
I followed your suggestion: I opened the terminal and then opened another terminal from the command line. When I entered
xfce4-terminal...
Thank you both for your comments! To respond to you both in one post (I hope you don't mind):
Holger_Gehrke: I've tried your suggestion. (I'm focusing on Terminal for the time being, as you...
Just a couple of lines to thank you both for your input! I won't mark this as 'solved' because for me the issue remains; but your posts have convinced me that (a) I haven't missed an obvious solution...
I have a Dell laptop computer running Xubuntu 18.04.3 with XFCE 4.12 and I'm puzzled by odd behaviour in the placement of newly-opened windows.
I like to run applications not maximised and I like...
I have a laptop running Xubuntu 18.04.1, fully updated. I use Evolution for mail, calendar, contacts etc., it's version 3.28.5-0ubuntu0.18.04.1 which I installed from the Software Center. It seems to...
+1 to HermanAB's comment. I too found that if Thunderbird can't connect to the mail server it asks for the email password again -- which is often misleading, since the stored password is probably...
It's because Gmail uses labels rather than folders to organise messages.
I believe the reasoning behind that is that if your mail provider uses folders, any given message can be in only one of them....
I had a similar problem some months ago. I downloaded and installed the latest LibreOffice using the Software Centre (I have Xubuntu but I don't think that matters in this issue). What I didn't...
I'm hoping that someone can spare a few minutes to give me advice. I have a Dell laptop (Vostro 1558) with BCM 4313 network controller which keeps losing connection to our home wireless network. The...
I did a bit more research and experimented, and solved the issue myself -- so I'm posting the solution here in case anyone else wants to know.
I installed the package xfce4-volumed. The volume...
Hi everyone, I have Xubuntu 18.04 running on a Dell Studio 1558 laptop. The machine is a hand-me-down from my son and was marketed with a view to watching DVDs etc., so it has stereo speakers and...
I can add from my own experience that the solution posted by psherlocksdb on the thread referenced above by wyliecoyoteuk worked perfectly for me. I had experienced exactly the problem reported by...
In Geany, triple-click selects all the text from the start of a line to the next line break. (double-click selects to the next space.) You can then copy and paste as usual.
We have a domestic internet connection provided to our home by Virgin Media. The service is via an underground cable which connects directly to a Virgin Media 'hub' which functions as a combined...
I'm currently using Xubuntu. One of its many handy features is that at the top left corner of each window -- in the title bar -- there is a small downward pointing arrow. Click on that and a menu of...

That thread suggests that Writer will reopen a document at the last cursor position but only if
