I am a newbie in sorting out these problems and am terrified of the TERMINAL as that is what my age is close to, ya' see I am 81. I have been using linux for about 15 years, but definitely not to its extent. My problem (I talk too much) and I have had installed 18.04 Ubuntu Bionic Beaver which...

Okay Wiz! looks like I have just started: Are you happy to continue with your invaluable assistance? I hope you are. I have installed the keyboard layout that puts the symbols in the right place. Now I find that although Libre write has accepted English Australia it will not allow me a spell...
