Yes ... Fixed ... Thank you very much.
All working now.

That might explain things. It's the one from Ubuntu and therefore in trying to access "file:///tmp/<ident>.tmp/NewHelp0.html" (where <ident> appears to be randomly generated on a one-time basis every...

That's the problem.
Libre Office Help opens OK with Firefox. I changed the default browser to Brave (my own preference), but I cannot open LO Help in Brave. It returns "file not found".
So whenever...

I posted the following query on AskLibO:


The reply was:



So if this situation is not with Libre Office, next port of investigation is Ubuntu. Any suggestions?

Problem solved. Ubuntu defaults to two-finger scroll on install with edge scroll disabled. Settings reversed. Sic friatur crustum.

I have the native 7-zip desktop installed, but it runs 7-zip 16.02 which dates from 2016. Current stable (not alpha or beta) is 19.00 from 02/2019, which was created to deal with a security issue in...

I have been using Lubuntu 18.04 on a Lenovo Y50-70 laptop. It has quirks, the worst being the colour balance (which is a known problem with this machine) and having to run the 4K screen at 1920x1080...

Sent someone to download the latest Lubuntu to try out, they came back and said that the download page is still showing 19.04. It is. Pointed them at the home page instead which accesses 19.10. Is...

Solution is to install another GTK theme and switch to it.
Best two I found so far for display and typography are blackbird-gtk-theme and numix-blue-gtk-theme from the lubuntu repository.

C'est la vie.

On a fresh install of Lubuntu 18.04 two quirks appeared on the taskbar.
I had two network icons, one attached to "indicator applets" and an extra one that appeared after I customized the display....

On upgrading to Lubuntu 18.04 (fresh install) I could not see either the date/time (RH side) or system name (LH side) in the banner on the login screen. Only the icons and the keyboard ID.
Until I...

Blacklisting the rtl8192se driver made no difference. The WiFi still chokes after a few minutes use, without showing any fault or alarm message or any indication that WiFi is not working, only a...

rtl8192se - no go.
r8192e_pci - works, although on the first time, it degraded service within seconds and connection to the router dropped out. A second halt and restart seems to be working so far...

I am trying to make use of several old machines via a USB persistent load of Lubuntu 14.04. The most promising from a usability view is a Samsung R780. Everything works except the WiFi, which finds...

Fix is in the works.

I cannot get to the Lubuntu.net site, it returns

and if I put "lubuntu" into the search box on the Ubuntu forum, it times out without returning anything.

What going on?

OK, finally got a login organised on AskLibreOffice ... third attempt, previous two ran foul of Captcha.
Further testing showed that up to LO 5.1.4 (default on 16.04) was OK for Drop Caps.
Question...

Today I opened a Libre Office template that includes Drop Caps on the first paragraph in a chapter, except that there were no Drop Caps.
Check back to other documents with Drop Caps used in them,...

Just on the offchance, I tried the two direct download links in the "E:Failed to fetch" messages in my previous post, and Lo!, manual download of both packages. I am going to try with 16.04...

Just tried on Lubuntu 14.04 machine, using apt-get:

Is this missing files on the server, missing files, or malformed request?
Ie: should there be a space in:

Adobe_flashplugin no longer loads, nor Adobe_flash_properties_gtk.

Files are missing.
Happens with 16.04 as well.
