Ah, I see. To get the line rc linux-image-extra-3.6.0-030600rc1-generic 3.6.0-030600rc1.201208022 i386 Linux kernel image for version 3.6.0 on 32 bit x86 SMP to not truncate the name I had to extend the window into the second monitor even though there is empty space at the right hand end of the line. Its algorithm does not seem ideal. Colin -- ubuntu-uk@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-uk https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UKTeam/
