Bug Description

My computer failed to boot correctly a few weeks ago, and after restarting several times with no success, I booted with a previous line on the menu that comes up. That seemed to work, but now there are further problems.

I'm afraid I am not very tech-savvy, as you can probably tell.

You may need to run the following from a terminal:

Dear Joseph

Thanks for your suggestion. That seemed to work beautifully and my very old computer seems happy again.

I am amazed that Ubuntu has such excellent help and support!

Thanks again

Marilyn
