Excellent news

This is it, Kernel 5.3 RC-1 will be out on July 21st. The main gain is the Realtek Corporation new network patch in this cycle. WIFI stability and signal strength is better (rtwpci) .

For Office, I was able to modify the shortcut of application launcher sot hat the Writer opens normally, but the taskbar shortcut offers multiple choices: Writer, calc spreadsheet, impress presentation,draw drawing and so on.

Never had this problem before. This issue was also present in Kubuntu 19.10 for a higher version. Playing with tools parameters on that opening page did not help nor replacing the shortcut.

Ok,got it now! Deleting the existing shortcut (taskbar) and replacing it with the Office launcher one, opens the writer the way it should.

Allthe best,

Hey, mike_g, why are your CODE blocks filled with all kinds of FONT specifications? That seems to undermine the whole purpose of using CODE blocks.

HTML
I only copy/paste from the terminal into Office. Save the file in html because I have to redo the paging each time on the website if I don’t. It is worst when I use Kate. If you are talking about the colors, they come from the terminal. See what it does.

There were COLOR tags, and there were FONT tags.

I was commenting about the FONT tags.

One of the reasons to use CODE tags, is that the output from a command is often lined up in columns. When you use FONT tags with variable width fonts, you break that and the output is no longer lined up in columns.

Here’s how you can see what I was looking at.

Start a reply to yourself (“Reply with Quote”). Best to do that is a new browser tab.
Then click that A/A at the top left of the editor (Switch Editor to Source Mode).
You will see the tags.

You can then close that browser tab to abort your reply without posting.
