Thanks for your answer. Command does not work (in fact 0 paquets charged, 0 modif.

don't worry, PC works well now, except some program but i'm sure that will come soon. Ubuntu team makes good jobs, thanks !

And too, it's to go to bed for us !!!! To morrow.... Work !

Problem remaining :

* don't restart after wake period : I had to shut down and restart
* Resize task bar on the left.....

On older versions, i used 'ubuntu tweak" to "clean" system.... Doensn't work now However, it's a good "outil" to clean system and destroye old files. And it will help you for us to not send you bug info because our system is not "to date"

on the top bar, what a pity to do not have widget about temp, weather, .... All desklets so usefull.

Bye and good luck to continue !

Lieber Evan, leider ist mein English nicht mehr so gut genau so wie auch
mein beschränktes PC Verständnis, denn ich bin ab Freitag 73 Jahre alt
und habe dazu noch massive Gedächtnisprobleme.
Vielleicht könnte ich noch etwas helfen, wenn Du mir in Deutsch
schreiben könntest, ansonsten müßte ich warten bis mir hier mal wieder
jemand helfen könnte. Das allerdings kann dauern, denn nur wenige
kümmern sich noch um einen alten Mann, es sei denn er kann großzügig
bezahlen und das ist bei mir nicht der Fall.
