How to create a link to a folder in Ubuntu 18.04 using GUI [duplicate]

12

If my memory is not playing me up this could be done with old versions of Ubuntu but I can't find a way of doing it with 18.04.

Is there a way of doing it?

Why does firefox keep saying having trouble getting your pages after upgrading to 18.04?

After upgrading to 18.04 every time I start Ubuntu and the fire up Firefox I get a "Sorry. We’re having trouble getting your pages back."

How to I fix this?

On Ubuntu 18.04 can I hide the title bar AND still see the close/minimize/maximize icons?

19

This is for all programs not just Firefox. I would like 18.04 to behave a bit more like Unity.

Ubuntu 16.04 Some program windows open top left and off screen

2

My OS has developed a fault where some windows open top left so the title bar with the min, max and close buttons are just off screen. It doesn't happen with every program.

Firefox, gedit, Tuxguitar and the Onboard keyboard preference window seem to be the main culprits.

LibreOffice, Transmission, Quod Libet are OK.

Why does it do this?
Is there a fix?

RTL8188C USB WiFi Dongle [duplicate]

0

I'm trying to install the drivers for a wifi dongle but so far have failed.

Could somone please tell me how to do this?

The manufacture supplied a CD with the following driver

RTL8188C_8192C_USB_linux_v4.0.2_9000.20130911

with instructions to compile the drivers, but when I tried to do this I got errors.

lsusb gives

Bus 002 Device 005: ID 148f:7601 Ralink Technology, Corp.

I've tried

sudo apt-get install firmware-realtek

giving

E: Unable to locate package firmware-realtek

Compiling the code gave the following output:

How to set up a Video call call using Empathy and google+

2

I'm trying to set up a video call between a Lenovo Z580 laptop and a Samsung Ace 2 Android smart phone using google+.

The laptop is running Ubuntu 14.04 with Empathy and the phone is using Hangout.

I can set up an IM conversation despite the fact that Empathy says the phone is off-line (small yellow triangle).

The Empathy help file says click on the tiny round icon (might be a camera but it's not clear what it is). I can't do that as there is no icon. If I click the camera icon in Hangout the phone appears to be calling the laptop, but nothing happens on the laptop.

So how do I set up a Video call call using Empathy and google+?

How to set the speed of a single mouse click

0

If you do a slow single click on a unit launch icon or a menu item in the taskbar Ubuntu interprets this as a move rather than an open command.

I would like to increase the time threshold at which an open becomes a move.

The mouse setting allows the setting of the double click speed, how do I set the single click speed?
