[PLUG] Problem with Google Earth Install
Once again I shall try to post this to the group. Even if you have no answer, I'd at least appreciate some acknowledgement that this message actually went out. I am trying to install Google Earth on my Ubuntu desktop computer. I downloaded the google-earth-pro-stable_current_amd64.deb file. Per instructions I found on the Internet, I did $ sudo dpkg -i ./google-earth-pro-stable_current_amd64.deb $ sudo apt-get install -f $ sudo apt-get update $ sudo apt-get upgrade then exited the terminal and went to "Search Your Computer", searched for Google, clicked on Google Earth Pro and it started up. The problem is, the window has my desktop in it with the earth display in a little window in the upper left corner. I've tried the various on-line helps and don't even know for sure how to describe the issue. I have removed and reinstalled with the same results. I'm guessing there is something wrong with my installation procedure. I don't do this very often.

To save I use Ctrl-s. Ctrl-Shift-s is Save As. Those seem to be pretty standard in all programs. It just dawned on me that to do Ctrl-D I had to hold down the Shift key at the same time as the Ctrl key, and that is, indeed, defined as a separate keypress in the list of options for keyboard assignments.

John, Doesn't matter if it is shown with an uppercase D or a lowercase d; press and hold the ctrl key while pressing the d/D key. No shift key involved. Actually, it does not list any of the lowercase letters with Ctrl, only the uppercase letters. I selected a word, then used Ctrl-d, and it gave the word double underlining, even though the d was lowercase. Then I tried Ctrl-D and it right-aligned the whole line, the same as Ctrl-r. This is very strange. Fortunately, I rarely use either function, and if I do I use the mouse on the Formatting toolbar, so I'm not highly motivated to sleuth out the cause. Still, I am curiositized as to why Ctrl-D is defined as one thing but does another. Official LO docs show the default for ctrl-D as double underline. As I wrote, here there is no definition for Ctrl-D or Ctrl-d. The keyboard shortdut lists has all uppercase letters. When you save a document to you use Ctrl-Shift-S or just ctrl-s? Those of us who use writing tools such as emacs, vim, joe, and LaTeX are used to the emacs key shortcuts which use ctrl-d to delete the character immediately right of the cursor (called the 'point' in emacs). Not being able to assign that function to ctrl-d in LO Writer is frustrating. (As is LO moving lines to the left margin when I have indented them two spaces.)

Re: [PLUG] centos/rhel 7 ttyUSB group ownership with FTDI adapter
You may want to add something like this to a udev rule:
KERNEL=="ttyUSB[0-9]*",GROUP="dialout",MODE="0660"
You may also like to do something like this (probably won't work for FTDI
knockoffs):
SUBSYSTEM=="tty", ENV{ID_SERIAL}=="FTDI_TTL232R-3V3_FTF89IVR",
SYMLINK+="myCoolUSBDevName"
You can add yourself to the "dialout" group in /etc/groups. Logout, and
login, and check your group access via 'id'.
Use 'udevadm' magic to get the FTDI serial string. I leave that research
to your favorite search engine.
Once all of this is done you can use '/dev/myCoolUSBDevName' to refer to
the USB device.
