Fwd: kernel updates for k12.04

[ray burke]

Nils 28/9/2017,

I found that I had libreoffice 3.5.2 was locked to current version, in
Muon package, so I therefore unlocked it, I then brought up Muon
software and  clicked the office tab and searched for libreoffice
4.2.8 and clicked to install, after it did I then rebooted and found
in the application
menu under office/and clicked libreoffice and it worked, so Valorie
thanks for the advise.
only two problems now-
1/ when I boot up and go online either dial-up/dongle and start
Firefox 51.0.1(32 bit) and start web sites, I hover over the web site
tab, but does not show me what is linked to just a black little
window, where as with k12.04 it showed me the actual link of url?
2/ when I boot up in the Grub 1.99 screen with the dual boot,  its shows
1st line Ubuntu
2nd line previous Ubuntu
3rd line memtest
4th line win7 loader
5th line Windows XP
but after I click on to the 2nd line it brings up Ubuntu Linux-pae
(No), next line with this the recovery of this Linux-pae, then all the
remaining old Linux-pae 32-128 is this right?
