Hello, thanks for any help you can offer; this is just the latest hair-pulling incident in my flirtation with Linux...
I have a little box running Lubuntu for remote file access etc. It had Lubuntu 14.x (sorry I cannot provide exact version) running tickety-boo. I received a dialog box to update Ubuntu to the latest version (I believe 15.04; in hindsight I should have realised this might break something, as I am running Lubuntu not Ubuntu)... after updating and rebooting Lubuntu no longer autoboots, as it did before; now, a Grub2 menu appears.
When I load the default, 'Ubuntu', I just get a black screen and nothing loads.
I CAN boot into 15.04 Lubuntu if I select 'Advanced Options' in Grub manually and select 'Ubuntu, with Linux 3.16.0-36-generic'
This does seem to load the updated Lubuntu with all my installs, settings etc. intact. However I seem to have no internet access in this option.
Can anybody help me get my autoloading Lubuntu back and internet access? Perhaps more importantly, explain to me WHY what I did made such a boo-boo? I'd like to learn.
My only option at the moment is to boot the Lubuntu liveCD from USB and reinstall the OS; however, if I did this how can preserve my files and settings?
Thank you in advance.
