Hi :) Congrats !! :)) Really good to hear you caught a few rays too. Kubuntu defaults (i think) to re-open everything on reboot and somehow i ended up with that happening in Ubuntu too - probably because i didn't want it to (good ol'Murphy). I'm not sure if it's a simple setting somewhere but i found there were a lot of advantages to it.
Rebooting other distros has helped me too. Congrats, good luck and regards from Tom :) On 31 Mar 2017 20:18, "John Jason Jordan" <[email protected]> wrote: > On Fri, 31 Mar 2017 17:17:30 +0100 > Tom Davies <[email protected]> dijo: > > >Renaming the user-profile will remove all the add-ons but it's > >probably a good idea anyway. > >Copying the default.ott from the working computer was brilliant imo, > >as was trying to rename the previous one to see what happened.
