OS: Debian Testing (Stretch) As lack of fonts, I can't print the invoice correctly. After check Debian Wiki, there are 2 locations to store fonts:  /usr/local/share/fonts    for Global and all users ~/.fonts                           for current user So, copy Windows fonts to /usr/local/share/fonts: cp    /Windows_fonts_Location/*.*  /usr/local/share/fonts/ Completed.

OS: Debian testing ( Stretch ) Recently update, I encounter shutdown/reboot stucking problem: the cursor flashing on the top left corner in black screen. It takes a long time to finish then I need to press the power button to finish it every time. Really boring. First I installed the gnome-power-manager package, not sure remove it accidentally or didn't install from the beginning. Shutdown to check, Debian will show the proceeding message. Then, I found below message: 'Unattended-upgrade in progress during shutdown: A start job is running for unattended upgrades shutdown, (1s in 15 mins)' How come the unattended upgrade? I prefer to auto run upgrade when start and want to close the laptop ASAP. Maybe it's useful for server, just waste of time for laptop. I checked the Debian WIKI for unattended upgrades services and found there are 2 packages involved: unattended-upgrades and apt-listchanges .

OS: Debian Stretch Chromium version: 55.0.2883.75 Problem: After updated to above version, Chromium disabled all the extensions installed before with below notice: * External extensions are now disabled by default.  Chromium will only load     extensions that are explicitly specified with the --load-extension command     line option passed into CHROMIUM_FLAGS.  See the chromium-lwn4chrome     package for an example of how to do this.   * You can also use the --enable-remote-extensions command line argument to     chromium, which will bypass this restriction. Solution: Add '--enable-remote-extensions' into default-flags configure file. Add one more line as following: $ sudo gedit /etc/chromium.d/default-flags export CHROMIUM_FLAGS="$CHROMIUM_FLAGS --enable-remote-extensions"
