This month, I heard from a brave gentleman named John Hughes. Presumably not the iconic director of The Breakfast Club because not only is Director John Hughes dead, I have it on good authority he was a BSD freak all the way.** | This month, I heard from a brave gentleman named John Hughes.

**You see, John, I’m running Lubuntu – which is based on Ubuntu but runs a bit better on an old IBM Thinkpad I inherited from my wife. And by “inherited” I mean “wiped the hard drive and installed a new operating system while she slept.” You would think that if I figured out your problem in Lubuntu, you could simply apply the solution to Ubuntu and be on your merry way, checking your calendar with reckless abandon. | **You see, John, I’m running Lubuntu – which is based on Ubuntu but runs a bit better on an old IBM Thinkpad I inherited from my wife.

But I cannot count the number of times I’ve found a solution on a forum and then copy/pasted strings of unintelligible characters into a terminal (because no one who knows the answer to your question has ever heard of a mouse, much less graphical menus) – only to find they were meant for a different Linux flavor than mine resulting in unintended computing behaviors. Like whenever I go to shutdown my machine now, I automatically post a webcam picture of myself to Facebook.** | But I cannot count the number of times I’ve found a solution on a forum and then copy/pasted strings of unintelligible characters into a terminal (because no one who knows the answer to your question has ever heard of a mouse, much less graphical menus) – only to find they were meant for a different Linux flavor than mine resulting in unintended computing behaviors.

- | The best I can do is explain how I got Rainlendar to autoload on Lubuntu. Maybe the process on your machine will be similar. But then again, maybe it’ll be like eating a porcupine. Dunno.

- | Now, I know this magazine’s readers are going to give a collective gasp, but I use menus quite a bit. The cool thing (cool as in “neato!” – not cool as in, you know, actually cool) about Linux is that you can do most things by clicking on menus or by typing stuff into a terminal (which just sounds so final and scary, like a serial killer with a grudge). I have no doubt my solution can be converted to a string of characters that would make this whole thing a simple cut-and-paste job. And someday, I hope to be more proficient and knowledgeable at the command line because when you understand the command line, you understand Linux. But I don’t understand either just yet. Seriously, I barely understand toothpaste. So we’re learning together here, John. Do what works for you, I’m just telling you what worked for me. And, since this is Ask the New Guy and not Ask a Smart Guy or even Ask a Marginally Literate Guy, I’m gonna use the mouse. | + | Now, I know this magazine’s readers are going to give a collective gasp, but I use menus quite a bit.

+ | Bon, je sais que les lecteurs de ce magazine vont tous avoir le souffle coupé, mais je me sers beaucoup des menus. Ce qui est cool (cool comme dans « sympa », mais pas comme dans « trop classe ») dans Linux est que vous pouvez presque tout faire en cliquant sur des menus ou en saisissant des trucs dans un terminal (entendre le mot « terminal » me fait penser à un tueur en série rancunier et me donne la chair de poule).

I find exactly what I was told I would, a folder with icons for all the programs installed on my system. Maybe it’s more accurate to say I’ve found a bunch of shortcuts to the programs on my system. Dunno, I’m New Guy, remember? Anyway, the point is, I have a place where I can find all the programs on my system in a way that’s easy to copy from. Also, I haven’t borked my system so I’m putting this one in the win column. | I find exactly what I was told I would, a folder with icons for all the programs installed on my system.

Then, after a two-day celebratory bender, I double-check that the solution works. I restart my Lubuntu laptop and, sure enough, Rainlendar2 starts up without my having to find it in a menu, run it from the command line, or ask Swithins, my butler, to do it.
