Fwd: kernel updates for k12.04

[ray burke]

Nils 28/9/2017,

Finally my new dual boot K14.04 LTS/Win7 works, as now the k14.04 does
both dial-up and dongle stick, but when the upgrade happen from K12.04
to K14.04 it moved over all my files
within home "rayburke" but looks like it didn't do Lirbreoffice
1:3.5.7 as when I bring up
one of my docs in .xls,.xlr it requests whet app to use, but no libreoffice,
so downloaded in .deb format libreoffice 3.5.2 and 4.2.3 but when I
executed either one it said
after enter muon password, that there was earlier one in the muon
update, but not sure
within this which one to use as so many, do I run it thru Muon
package/update/software app?
