orange box in software manager, can't install skype
For some reason Skype in the Linux Mint software manager is failing to install. Naturally people then head to Skype.com to download the latest version for Ubuntu but this fails too.
The first part of the fix is to remove the orange box in software manager - open a terminal and type
apt purge skype
(if that fails, make sure that software manager is closed and try again)
This will remove any skype files, settings, partial install and the whole lot (more than apt remove would remove)
Now go to Skype.com, find the latest Ubuntu version, install it and it will work.

uninstall program linux mint
You may have installed from the Software Manager, Package Manager or via the Terminal.
The Software and Package managers way of removing is just the opposite to installing. Select the item and apply the changes.
Or in the Terminal do apt remove programname

Filter the results of a long output to save reading
You may be asked to do a command that has a long output. Reading this whole output just find one thing is tiring and if you are in an IRC or forum it is best that you do not paste unwanted data.
Many commands can be put through a secondary command before the result is outputted. Imagine search the kitchen = many results but search the kitchen and only list fruit, gives less.
This is called piping and a pipe is represented by |
So the command man conky gives the entire manual page for conky and the command lspci gives the entire list of hardware. In both cases you could pipe the command to filter the more useful information.
The command to pipe through is grep. Grep filters the results. We often need to add the switch -i to grep so that results are returned no matter what cAsE TheY ARE writtEn iN.
lspci | grep -i audio
This gives any reference to Audio audio or AUDIO in the output of the lspci command.
man conky | grep cpu
This gives only parts of the conky man page that refer to the cpu (remember grep -i will return CPU cpu Cpu cpU and so on)

I can't move my window, it doesn't fit on the screen
I can't move my window, it doesn't fit on the screen, the resolution is messed up...
Any problem where you can't move a window in the normal way can be solved by:
pressing ALT then clicking anywhere in the window and dragging the window to a new place.

Ubuntu Cheat Sheet
This is a handy document to print out and keep near your PC
You may also want to scribble additional notes on there too. Like how to reset your root password... as if you can't remember, you can't log in to read how to do it :)
