Hello nikTh:

Thanks for your help. That fixed the problem. I appreciate your contribution to making Ubuntu useful. I have been using Ubuntu since 9.04 and am using it exclusively on all computers including my wife's computer. I don't know anything about coding, but now that I am retired I am willing to learn. Where do I start?

Have a great day.

Can you help with this problem?
