sudo apt --fix-broken install crashes

[Robert Pearson]

Ubuntu MATE so buggy I had to reinstall (UEFI mode). Now HP OfficeJet Pro 7740 will not print but scanner works fine (It is an all-in-one) printer. Cannon install tesseract-ocr.

Tried booting Ubuntu MATE 18.04 on a different drive. Get flashing dots all night. Will not boot.

Machine is ASUS A88XM-A with 32GB DRam. A WD 1TB SSD with Ubuntu Mate 20.04.3 (not working). A WD 4TB HD with Ubuntu Mate 18.04 (not working).

Running Linux Mint with Cinamon has no problem printing. Just Ubuntu.

Found linux image: /boot/vmlinuz-5.13.0-28-generic downloads 17% then crashes. repeatedly!

Thank you for taking the time to report this bug and helping to make Ubuntu better.

Bug reporting is about finding & fixing problems thus preventing future users from hitting the same bug.

I suspect a Support site would be more appropriate, eg. https://answers.launchpad.net/ubuntu. You can also find help with your problem in the support forum of your local Ubuntu community http://loco.ubuntu.com/ or asking at https://askubuntu.com or https://ubuntuforums.org, or for more support options please look at https://discourse.ubuntu.com/t/community-support/709

You have filed this bug about 20.04, but mention Linux Mint & Ubuntu 18.04? they are different OSes so how do they relate to this bug report on a 20.04 system? Please don't confuse details with other unrelated details.

I've marked this bug as 'incomplete' as it appears you're in need of support, with no details provided of a crash; no crash dump etc being provided; only screen with what appears to issues that would benefit from support. If you believe I'm incorrect, you leave a message explaining why, and the status can be returned to "New".
