Oh, hi. I had pretty much given up on hearing anything again, so haven't looked on here for a while. As it happens, I hadn't got around to starting over as yet, so I will have a look at this tomorrow...

Oh, hi. I had pretty much given up on hearing anything again, so haven't looked on here for a while. As it happens, I hadn't got around to starting over as yet, so I will have a look at this tomorrow...
Hi again. Sorry, please understand that I really wasn't having a go at you at all. I really appreciate your help. All I was saying was that one person can't do this kind of thing on their own, and...
Did I say that I didn't understand that that person might have good reasons for disappearing? No, I didn't, because of course that is understood. Thanks to that person for being the only one who...
Well, look, if you want to go down that road, if you examine that thread once again you will notice that I did in fact say that the problem was fixed. I was not aware at the time that there was...
Let's be honest. This really isn't much of a "community" these days, is it? People on here were much more helpful when I first started experimenting with Linux a few years ago. One person has...
Well, I had quite a lot of trouble getting Variety to work properly, so it makes sense that that is showing up. Really a big shame, as it's such a nice app. I had a whole thread about it, here:
...
No worries at all. Talk soon ):P
Sure, no worries and no massive rush. I'm surviving on Windows for the time being, and learning new Linux stuff as and when I want to on a VM. Still, I have to admit that I get really annoyed by all...
No worries. Like I said, not a beginner, but still only pre-intermediate at the most :~)
OK. Here we go. Again, I can't get into the Ubuntu GUI, but I was able to get on the system as root and...
OK, thanks. Will do tomorrow :~)
Sorry, I don't understand. You ony told me to run that command:
sudo lshw
That's what is pasted in that link. I already said in previous posts that I don't know where to look among all the...
I put the link in my last post, but here it is again anyway :~)

Hi, of course I had run the fsck command on the partition in question. You can see that I wrote the full command in one of my previous posts.
I have no idea why, but I've just now managed to get...
Hi again :~)
Well, I tried running fsck (specifically fsck -yf ....... on the drive in question). This had saved me before, but the problem this time was that that didn't have the same effect...
Well, for some reason this picture disappeared from the original post, and I can't reinsert it by editing the file :~/

I'm referring to this post, specifically. Completely shut out just now.
I would if I could! If someone had given me that simple instruction yesterday, I would have done so, but now (you need to see my later posts) I can't get in the system at all, and need help getting...
Hi, and thanks. That's a helpful question. I can't tell you now where I downloaded from, but probably from the main Ubuntu download portal, I guess. Whatever was top of the Google search, so no doubt...
I could indeed, and if you read my first post in full you will see that I explained why I installed 18.04, and then that of course I am considering giving up on it and going to 20.04, because this...
OK, thanks. Well, I can confirm that that doesn't work. I had a massive system freeze a few minutes ago, and none of that worked, so I had no choice but to turn the whole thing off. Of course I don't...
I do, and it doesn't. Unless I'm supposed to be looking somewhere? In which case, please tell me where. Thank you.
Update (plus one thing that I hadn't mentioned)
This is the popup that I get. Very limited - no arrow to check details (I do remember that that is what is supposed to happen, but that's not what...
Hi, thanks very much for the swift reply :~)
Yes, I sometimes look at those messages, but haven't been taking screenshots, or writing anything down. I'll try to do that the next two or three...
Hi, I don't think that I'm a complete beginner any more - maybe pre-intermediate! - but I need serious advice just now.
I installed 18.04 on this dual-booting desktop a couple of months ago. I had...
Well, you know what.... I just noticed yesterday that the two main problems that I was having with this application have gone away. Maaaaaybe that's because of adding the ppa, which finally updated...
