REMMINA As a systems admin in a predominantly Windows environment, I spend a lot of time using Remmina from my workstation. I recently upgraded two of my servers to Windows Server 2012R2 from Server 2008R2. I had been able to RDP into those servers from Remmina with no problems – until after the upgrade was complete. Remmina now just returned a “cannot connect” error message. I checked on the server end that no remote settings had changed, then tried connecting with the command-line rdesktop. This connected and displayed the server desktop with no problems. I had a look at Remmina more closely. When I clicked to edit a connection, I noticed the Advanced Tab. There is an option for Security here which is set to Negotiate by default. I changed this from negotiate to RDP (drop down selection so easy to change) and clicked on Save. The problem is resolved and Remmina connects without trouble again. Hope this helps someone.

LUBUNTU've been using Ubuntu since version 7.04 and all on the same desktop computer. It's a Dell Dimension 3100 and has a Pentium 4 processor; it came with a 160Gb hard drive and 512Mb or RAM. I updated the RAM to 2Gb, which is the maximum the motherboard will take and when I ran out of space on the hard drive I bought a 750Gb drive to increase space. As I've taken more photos and put more music on my iPod, that space disappeared and so I have had to upgrade the hard drive again. This time I bought a 2Tb drive, so that should last me for another few years!
As Ubuntu got better and better, it ran slower and slower on my old machine, even with the hardware upgrades. When I bought the 2Tb drive a month ago, I did a fresh installation of 13.10 but it proved to be the slowest Ubuntu yet. I spent quite some time following all the tips on speeding Ubuntu up. However, it just wasn't enough; the computer was still frustratingly slow.
I can't live with this slowness and a new computer is out of the question for the moment. I had to give up Ubuntu. The obvious answer was - Lubuntu. So, I backed everything up, wiped the hard drive and did a fresh install of Lubuntu 13.10. OK, so it doesn't look as good as ordinary Ubuntu, it sacrifices good looks for speed. I even missed Unity - can you believe it? But Lubuntu has restored the speed that I used to have and that's a trade off I'm very happy to make at this point. After doing the fresh install, I was able to restore all my files via Deja Dup and now everything is back to normal.
In closing, I would like to thank everybody involved in all flavours of Ubuntu for their contributions. It has made a real difference. Thank you all.
