execute a script on shutdown before the Xserver is terminated

Image
Clash Royale CLAN TAG #URR8PPP up vote 0 down vote favorite I asked this questions on Ubuntu Forums a couple of months ago but did not find a solution there, so I ask it again here. I am using Ubuntu 16.04. I am trying to solve the problem that Chromium tells me on every startup that it "didn't shut down correctly". There is a long thread about this issue on Ubuntu Forums. But the solution proposed there, which is to put the command kill -TERM $(pgrep chromium) in the script /sbin/shutdown does not work in my case. Another proposed solution, namely to put the said command in a script in /etc/rc0.d does not work either. I also tried in the meantime (i.e., after posting on Ubuntu Forums) to put the line session-cleanup-script=/link/to/script_with_kill_Chromium_command in /etc/lightdm/lightdm.conf (which is the solution proposed in this Ask Ubuntu post), but that does not work either.

LibreOffice - wrong font height in formula equation / overlapping lines

Image
Clash Royale CLAN TAG #URR8PPP up vote 2 down vote favorite I'm having the problem shown in the screenshots below in my LO 6.0 Writer and Math when I'm typing an equation. As you can see in the prints, the top of the fonts gets cut. I've tried changing the font size, zoom and other configurations, but none of them solved the problem. And I've tested in another machine with LO 6.0 and it happens also. When I press enter it temporarily solves the problem, but if I continue typing after that, it cuts the font again. Does anyone know how to solve this issue? kubuntu libreoffice fonts share | improve this question edited Jun 17 at 12:03 asked May 27 at 16:21 James Clark 21 6 Hello and welcome to askubuntu!

Ubuntu correcting 'za' to 'zæ' while typing

Image
Clash Royale CLAN TAG #URR8PPP up vote 0 down vote favorite For some reason, after the latest update, whenever I type the z & a keys one after the other fast enough, that keystroke is converted to 'zæ'. The a gets changed to 'æ' which isn't even a character in any language I've got installed, which is extremely annoying. ZÆ even in caps... Using Ubuntu 18.04. The language it's set to is English (US), and this happens both with an English (any) or Spanish (Spain/America) layout. Dvorak doesn't have that problem though. Weird...
