Not all of the configuration can be done from Ubuntu, you must use the tv remote and enter the menu of the tv itself and set the resolution up there so you can match it in Ubuntu.

I surrender! I come here and accidentally allow myself to say what I think and get in trouble with the mods, I come and do my best to play nice and point out the obvious and get smart xxx remarks in...

"This is where Ubuntu and Linux in general really shines through. They have progressively bettered themselves over the years, adapting to new hardware, and not spying on everything you do. ...

Ah, well I was mistaken about Ubuntu then, but I've only heard good things about Mint having never used it myself. If you have Mint installed and running, then I think you should dive in head first...

You say you're new to linux and have Ubuntu up and running. What don't you like about Ubuntu? I recommend that you explore linux via Ubuntu until you are no longer new to linux, then you can start...

Just to play devils advocate here, I have now done my 2nd version upgrade without doing a clean install. My machine came with 13.10 installed and I upgraded to 14.04 when it became available. Just...

You might be on to something... :)

I enjoy Linux Journal.

also, 18.04 is setup to auto-update out of the box which may explain the locked files. if you just give it some time after first booting to complete checking for updates you may be able to then...

Being retired it's just my morning ritual to check for updates. I have a couple of systems that I ssh into and update them if needed as well as several vm's on this system. It doesn't normally take...

Sheez, there ya go again, making me responsible for how my computer works... :mad:

Sounds great, let us know when you have all those repos completed and tested.

You know, I see this sort of thing a lot lately. There's no reason to remove one DE to use another. A DE is just software, install it and select it at boot time. I have several DE's installed on...

Why not install from the repositories?

:) At any rate, seems to me the OP most likely already has a capable program for his task in LibreOffice.

I was using LibreOffice Writer and I just checked and was able to open the exported pdf and edit again. I'm also running Ubuntu 16.04/LibreOffice5 here, so maybe something changed with a newer...

LibreOffice handles pdf files. I'm not sure how much it can do, but I just now tested it's ability to delete a page and save the changed document. You do have to then export the file LibreOffice...

Your new avatar is the perfect picture of artificial intelligence.

Use an LTS release, stick to installing only software from the repositories and don't try to make linux act like windows and you shouldn't have any problems. I haven't broken a system in about...

Excellent points! And, no, I've never opened any file that threatened my linux system, but I sure have borked more than my share of installs misusing my powers as root. Now that I've grown...

Each DE is different. I'm still learning my way around Budgie, but Plank (the dock) shows an indication of which apps are active and when you click on the icon it brings that app into focus. While...

Thanks! :)

I could be wrong, but I was under the impression that snaps are sandboxed. In that case, the virus just gets to play with itself, no?

Thanks, wasn't aware of that.

synaptic hasn't been dropped, it's just not pre-installed. I just now installed it in Ubuntu Budgie 18.04.

'sudo apt install synaptic'
