LibreOffice Update

In your LibreOffice Gold special edition “issueLOGOLD01_en.pdf”, LibreOffice - Part 4 (page 13) - When I insert the second frame, the second frame covers my first frame and does not show below the first frame.

I am using LibreOffice 5.0.4.2

Elmer says: The frames seem to behave differently in version 5. Set the Vertical Position to From Top by 2.5“ (6.35 cm) to Margin. That sets it in the right position for me, just below the header frame.

Supplier Gripe

I have a minor gripe with equipment suppliers regarding support and drivers.

Let me explain, I have a HP Laserjet P1102, which I purchased on the belief it works with Ubuntu. Well it does, but Windows users have a few more bells and whistles.

I later had a problem with networking, and installed a D-Link. The instructions were for geeks. Then my daughter bought me a Canon MG2540; to scan I have to enter terminal mode. Scangearmp. does a good job, but well a bit Heath Robinson.

My suggestion would be for Ubuntu to have a listing of suppliers and models which are Ubuntu friendly. I for one would follow recommendations

Gord says: Google “Linux Hardware Compatibility Lists”. If you ask about a specific product in the Ubuntu Forums, you will usually get an answer. Or just Google it, eg.: HP P1102 Ubuntu.

Your comment about D-Link is, sadly, too true. In the vast majority of cases, the proper instructions are: shut down your computer, plug in the D-Link, power up your computer.

Memories

I would like to thank Mr. van Oosten for the walk down memory lane. It's been a long time since I have heard VAX mentioned in an article. Good to hear that there are still many of these old girls still running. Somewhere out in storage I have a disc pack with a couple of megs of DCL procedures. Why, I don't know.
