Summary0001608: Ubuntu installation documentation needs small update
DescriptionHi,
I am looking at Ubuntu installation documentation at: https://www.ap-i.net/skychart/en/documentation/installation_on_linux_ubuntu

I see some outdated info of unsupported Ubuntu versions: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ubuntu_version_history

--- I. ---
OLD: Instructions tested on Ubuntu 12.04, 11.10 and 11.04.
NEW: Instructions tested on Ubuntu 12.04 LTS, 14.04 LTS and 16.04 LTS.

Note: I have been using Skychart with "Ubuntu 14.04 LTS" previously and now I am using Skychart with "Ubuntu 16.04 LTS".


--- II. ---
OLD: You will also find the Skychart button in the main menu, using “Science & Engineering” filter.
Note: If installed following above instructions, 'skychart' command is actually a script that disables some Ubuntu Unity features (only for Skychart program) to make it possible Skychart to work correctly (LIBOVERLAY_SCROLLBAR=0 and UBUNTU_MENUPROXY=0).

Note: At least Ubuntu 16.04 is not using overlay-scrollbars anymore. I don't know if this info is really needed. I suggest to delete whole this texts to reduce confusion. End-user should not perform this variable tasks, so in my humble opinion it is better to not telling such a technical text to them.

Thanks
Steps To Reproduce1. In browser open web page: https://www.ap-i.net/skychart/en/documentation/installation_on_linux_ubuntu
2. Fix suggested text above.

I.
I replace the version list by "currently supported versions of Ubuntu"

II.
I remove this section as it is not need. The current beta version do not need that anymore even with old version of Ubuntu.
