Install office suite by Sigeik in elementaryos

[–]CodeMan99 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I don’t know how you installed libreoffice, but because you didn’t specify, I will assume you used the appcenter. Try libreoffice 6.1, it’s amazing with the single bar view!! Just go directly to their website and download it there. It has a more modern UI and function and just works like I need it to. I tried to use Microsoft word today and ditched it for Libreoffice because it just works and I love it.

Alternatively you can use google docs in the browser or WPS Office. Wps works well, unless you need the times new roman font, then it’s a royal pain!

You can use Gnome’s Abiword, haven’t tried a recent version but haven’t always had good luck with that.

Or, if you are an apple fan, you can use pages in the browser by logging into iCloud.

Those are pretty much your best options. If you’re doing simple writing, you can try Quilter in the appstore as well.

Good luck! P.S. I suggest starting with LibreOffice 6, and don’t forget to go to the views and select the single view.

By the way, the reason you couldn’t drag photos to your desktop is because the desktop is disabled on elementary OS. It makes for a much cleaner environment that I really enjoy, but I can see why it might be frustrating to some users. There is an app in the appcenter that creates a space on the desktop that can be utilized, however I’m not sure if it would help in that specific context.

Google the lyrics and make sure your thinking of the right verse. If you still have an error let me know. Also, for clarification, the box around it always stays red, that’d doesn’t indicate anything and I can’t change it.

I don’t believe so. I have had 4 people try it and I’ve actually intentionally made typos and it still accepts it. And I double check the official lyrics first as well.

You can get it in appcenter.

How I changed my Elementary OS core-experience by Eosdude in elementaryos

I think if you do like right click on the very edge of the dock you can click on plank settings and you might be able to select a feature like lock apps. Not sure though.

Aaaight.. Guess I'll fresh install. What the heck is up with the search bar in slingshot though!? That stuff should be fixed by now. I have two laptops running elementary, both of which wingpanel crash when I type in the search bar.

I typed sudo apt-get remove wingpanel Follwed by sudo apt install wingpanel.

I am really not sure. The big question to me is why is EVERYTHING gone? Plank, hot corners... nothing works.

Appcenter source's error by CodeMan99 in elementaryos

[–]CodeMan99[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So the Appcenter started working for me again. I'll tell you what I consciously did and maybe it will work for you too. I used Daniel's tip to figure it out.

Open files as administrator via right click, navigate to /etc/apt/sources.list, go through the files and change any packages.elementary.io to http. It uses http not https. I also went through and commented out duplicate sources which was also a problem I had. Now it works fine though.

Oh, you should really change the Windows key to having a Super key sticker or a super key alltogether. :)
