Hi Bart, Thanks for introducing the Ubuntu-Mate. I installed it to one of the laptops and it seems to be fast. I will try to install it in a slower machine, which currently is good with lubuntu, but having problem with ubuntu desktop, and I'll let you know if the problem gets improved. Wendy

In order to allow the person in charge of an edoovillage to upload pictures and add them to the album, I first registred him as edoovillage "manager", but he still couldn't upload pictures. Then I registred him as "editor", but it still didn't work. Do you know what I did wrong or how could I have done it faster?. Thanks And another question, who sould or shoul not add pictures?

Hello everyone, One feature that has been lacking behind is a proper way to quickly search useful content within the Labdoo platform. We did have a search box in certain places but its features were limited. Recently i have implemented a search box that is a bit richer in its functionalities.

Dear Team, I'm following the sanitation procedure here (https://www.labdoo.org/content/sanitation-guide-simple-method) and everything goes fine until the final few commands to install the `edubuntu-desktop` and `libreoffice` packages. When I try to install `edubuntu-desktop`, I get: Depends: ubuntu-desktop, but it's not going to be installed E: Unable to correct problems, you have held...
