[Bug 1628706] Re: Revise PPA description?

Public bug reported: In addremove.html and addremove-sources.html (16.10 help) the "Add a Personal Package Archive (PPA)" section is described as follows "Add PPAs to help test pre-release or specialty software". This description is inaccurate since a PPA is just a way of distributing software, it

Public bug reported: In the 16.10 desktop help the examples of using the compose key seem to be wrong since they don't indicate simultaneous key presses. Eg I think the first example would be better written as "Press + ' then a letter to place an acute accent over that letter, such as é." (Note:

2016-08-21 Thread clissold345
Hi Gunnar, the Adobe page (link below) says that (under Linux) Chromium and Chrome have the latest version of Flash (currently 22.0.0.209), so presumably that means that when a user installs Chromium or Chrome he/she immediately has the latest version of Flash. So that leaves potential problems wit

Public bug reported: The official documentation for 16.04 is incomplete. It's the page with the title "Add additional software repositories". I believe that for non-Canonical repositories (but not PPAs) the user has to add the repository's key. Without the key the command "sudo apt-get update" wil
