There were a few other things I had to change because of errors when loading repositories or doing updates. I don't see anything very new or exciting to be worth upgrading. However, from what I have read, the biggest changes are in the Desktop on Ubuntu (still Unity, I think) which I don't like, so I am using XUbuntu on my netbooks and KUbuntu on one desktop and on the other, I think it is Classic Gnome Flashback so I have only barely looked at the regular Ubuntu on a Live DVD, and have not spent much time fooling with it.</div><div><br data-mce-bogus="1"></div><div>I like to try using the latest version (living dangerously), even though it sometimes causes me problems. However, for day to day work, it probably isn't worth the trouble, and 16.04 is going to be supported for a long time.</div><div>Murray</div><div><br></div><div>----- Original Message -----<br>From: Manfred Moser <manfred@mosabuam.com><br>To: discuss@vlug.org<br>Sent: Thu, 10 Nov 2016 22:25:38 -0700 (MST)<br>Subject: Re: [Discuss] Demise of ksnapshot in Ubuntu, and probably everywhere eventually<br></div><div><br></div><div>Good to know - i use ksnapshot a lot myself but I am still on 16.04.

I was surprised to find that it no longer exists in the repositories for the latest version of the Ubuntu family (16.10). It took me a while to track down the information that it has been deleted, and that the recommended replacement is kde-spectacle (just search for spectacle in the Software Center, Synaptic or do sudo apt-get install spectacle {or it might be kde-spectacle} in a terminal. It is functionally quite similar to ksnapshot except that, as far as I can tell with the limited amount of time I have played with it, saving is only to /home/Pictures and the only format is .png. I think I could select the directory to which the image would be stored, and I also think that the image could be saved in almost any image format. <br>> <br>> Murray<br></div><div><br></div><div><br></div></body></html>
