Thanks Trash_Can_Man. I'll try that. Meanwhile I'm back on Armbian and am remembering its major flaw. Any search using Synaptic takes ten plus minutes. Apt-get is fine if you know the precise name of a package, but if you want to load, say, LibreOffice and cannot quite remember the precise name of the huntspell dictionary or the Libreoffice en-gb help, then each search can drive you nuts. For me, this makes Armbian a non-starter.
Yea ive seen issues with that but i kinda didnt care much about that, after all we dont install the OS and/or all the packages everyday, once you install everything correctly you dont touch it for months usually, or at least i dont touch that part much after the first install...im just trying to help, i think you are entering the fuzzy terrain of preferences now xD
