    Re: Best Linux browser

    I use Firefox for generic web surfing, You Tubes, news sites, and the like, while I use Chrome for work and programming related stuff. Each one has its own desktop workspace. Seems to suit me fine.

    It's the standard Libre Office that came installed with the Ubuntu 17.04 distribution that I installed a couple of months ago. The Kubuntu desktop is something I added in later, and it shouldn't...
  6. [SOLVED] Re: LibreOffice 5.3 won't open in Kubuntu 17.04

    No, same issue. I get the LibreOffice logo appearing momentarily, then it simply disappears with no message.

  8. [SOLVED] LibreOffice 5.3 won't open in Kubuntu 17.04

    I'm running both Unity and Kubuntu desktops on my laptop, with the idea of slowly weaning myself away from Unity once GNOME becomes the default. I'm learning the KDE Plasma 5.9 desktop, and for the...

    When I first log into the the Kubuntu Plasma desktop, things look quite nice, but after a certain amount of time working in it -- it seems random so far -- I notice that apps lose their menus. The...
  10. [ubuntu] Re: Strange Display Behavior on Upgrading Ubuntu to 16.10

    My intent was to upgrade to 17.04, so that I could have access to Kubuntu with Plasma 5.9. I fell for the hype,essentially. But since you ca't leapfrog versions in an upgrade, I had to upgrade to...
  11. [ubuntu] Re: Strange Display Behavior on Upgrading Ubuntu to 16.10

    Hmm, yes I did have an Nvidia graphics driver installed, although I thought I had disabled third-party software prior to the upgrade. Maybe that wasn't what I did. The system was definitely up to...

  14. Re: Upgrade Failed On Packages I Didn't Want Anyway

    Yeah, I'm pretty sure it's a compatibility bug with carrying KDE as a dual desktop. We'll soon find out!
  15. Re: Upgrade Failed On Packages I Didn't Want Anyway

    It's time, I guess. I used to be a big fan of Kubuntu, and kept looking for reasons to use it exclusively. Problem is, Ubuntu keeps getting better and more elegant, and KDE continues to seem rather...
  16. Re: Upgrade Failed On Packages I Didn't Want Anyway

    Two things happened since this post. First, I went to sudo apt update, then sudo apt full-upgrade. I restarted my computer, and the display server is now trashed. I can only log in in TTY mode. ...
  17. Re: Upgrade Failed On Packages I Didn't Want Anyway

    No, this came directly from the Ubuntu upgrade notifications. The packages state 'xenial'. I didn't even know I had an 'account-plugin-facebook' file until I got the error on the upgrade attempt,...

    Thank you kindly for that. Here is my boot-info report:

    [SOLVED] Odd Boot Error After Update

    I'm running Ubuntu 15.10 on an Acer Aspire V3-772G-9460 Laptop. It came with Windows 8.1, which I removed right away, and for about 2 years now I've had only Ubuntu on it.

    It's always had boot...
  23. Re: Which desktop environment do you recommend?

    Plain vanilla Ubuntu Unity for me. I started out as a KDE fan, but it seems to be getting more inadequate with each release. I just checked out Kubuntu 15.04 yesterday, and a lot of the old KDE...
  24. Re: Give me reasons why I should use ubuntu over any other distro?

    No reason to get married to a distro if you don't feel like it. Play around. Stray if you want. Don't make promises you can't keep. Nobody's feelings will be hurt. Settle down when you feel...
