English-US is at the top for languages.
English (en) is the second one.
There are no others
note: Libre Office does not do this.

See the image gm10 posted.
Have you tried Add Dictionaries...

Have you tried language settings?

I now have this same issue on another system, not a clone from the previous one. This system does have Chrome. I updated Chrome, looked for updates for WhatsApp Desktop -none.

I do get the impression though WhatsApp Desktop is just sort of a browser connecting https://web.whatsapp.com

On LM19 many legacy drivers have been removed. That is why it is no longer suitable for older systems. Like I posted before, the latest 18, 18.3 will still run on most older systems.

I am on a system where I have installed and used the WhatsApp desktop app as it is available through Software Manager. As of last night, on starting it does not connect to the phone but I get a message WhatsApp works with Google Chrome 36+ To use WhatsApp, update Chrome or use Mozilla Firefox, Safar...

[OT]Interesting username you have, HarzVieh. Do you want to talk about your username in Usernames?[/OT]

I have a 4K TV on my wish list but so far there are no free view 4K channels on satellite or cable bar the advertorials.

LM19 installed is not quiet the same as LM19 live, apparently. You may better install 18.3 XFCE which is the least demanding current Mint and a LTS. Since you have a spare disk, well go ahead and try it. The performance will not be what you are used from the HP 8300. But it will work, and if you do ...

I have installed Lubuntu on a system as low as a P3 and a Celeron.

I do delete particular files and folders. To name one: After experiencing a user who for a small network issue not even caused by the system but from a bad router followed Windows' suggestion to restore things back to default and have many hours of hard word washed away through a clean Windows insta...

I went on to block the thumbnail folder the hard way: rm -rf ~/.cache/thumbnails/* chmod 555 ~/.cache/thumbnails sudo chown root:root ~/.cache/thumbnails When I installed a system for someone I got the question "is it possible to see thumbnails when displaying a folder with images?" Turns out blocki...

...Also, check and replace the Bios (cmos) battery if need be....

Was going to suggest that as well.

Probably the bios has a setting for power state after power failure that could be previous, off, or on. By setting it to on it should power on when the mains gets powered.

My pleasure and enjoy Linux!

I guess there are several tools to do install the ISO to a Flash drive from Windows. Yes there are. But if it works you did the right thing. What I have not yet determined is how to get the laptop to boot from a external portable hard drive on a USB port. Basically, you go into the bios and set the...

MrEen brought up a imho very good point. I can't tell if it is THE issue, but it really CAN matter.

Just for sure, you may want to perform above actions on the USB stick from a live CD/DVD/USB with all internal hard disks disconnected by unplugging the sata cable.

In the filesystem, files are saved in predefined blocks. Like units on shelves in a storage room. The file takes as many free units as are needed. If e.g. the allocation block size is 32K, and the file size is 40K, the file takes 2 blocks of 32K. One block is used entirely, while the second block is...

Is Linuxing easy?

The more experienced you get, the more problems you experience.

I get it, thanks.
