I have been using Ubuntu 12.04LTS with MATE as the desktop, since I do not like Unity or GNOME 3. I do not know why MATE would cause any problems, if it is installed correctly [their site has specific install instructions for each version of Ubuntu it supports]. I have had no problems with

Hi :) Ohh, i usually find the ones from the website better than the ones in the repos. I haven't really tried the PPAs often though, to be fair. Regards from Tom :) On 24 January 2014 15:23, Joel Madero jmadero@gmail.com wrote: On 01/23/2014 02:39 PM, Tony Godshall wrote: I may have

Hi :) That is interesting to hear what the devs would suggest. It's certainly the case for most other software but i thought LibreOffice was one of the exceptions to the rule. Thanks Joel! Regards from Tom :) On 24 January 2014 17:44, Joel Madero jmadero@gmail.com wrote: On 01/24/2014

Greetings, I have been reading this thread, but since I do not use Ubuntu, I have no direct experience to add to this discussion. However, I may make one suggestion: check the age of your video card and computer. I use Slackware Linux and I have had KDE4 (QT-based) and xfce (GTK-based)

Thanks for the comments. Yes, Ubuntu seems especially aggressive with out with the old mentality in spite of having released named Long Term Support. No, the boxes are not old- they are Dell Zino, Zotac, and Asus boxes purchased within the three, two, and one year, approximately, respectively.

Hi :) Debian has a reputation for being old and long-in-the-tooth by the time it releases anything doesn't it? I'm not sure if it's a fair rep. There are tons of Ubuntu spin-offs or 'clones'. Does Xfce have it's menus and toolbar at the bottom of the screen by default? If so it might not be

10.04 LTS is lucid. We never went to gnome 3 since it broke too many workflows. We looked at cinnamon and mate and they made our workstations unstable. It's weird that an application could disrupt the ui as much as we're seeing. Our users are used to their workstations staying up for months and

This seems to be directly correlated to the install of LibreOffice 4.1. OS is Ubuntu Linux 10.04 LTS 32-bit. Hardware varies- mostly AMD64 dual-core E350 and E450. I'm trying to confirm other issues- users have reported it's happens more when using toolbar things like color background of cell
