I'm usually good at backups - a hospital stay has knocked my rhythm.
I'm in a livecd session now with 16.04, this thread https://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=2327903 suggested I look at:

Thank you all for your responses. I've found a livecd for 16.04. Is there any way I can fix my system with that? I was due to upgrade my os, but an unforseen illness prevented that.

Hello,
I reported this as a bug here: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/1035590 . Progress is being made on fixing it.

Thanks for your help anyway.
