Hello Brad, I re-installed the whole ubuntu-12.10-desktop-amd64.iso onto the Hewlett Packard EliteBook 8560w. Installation was again successful and reboot successfully. I did an OS software update and rebooted again. No issue here. From a terminal screen, I run apport-collect 1073442 and the following ERROR:The launchpadlib python module is not installed. This functionality is not available. Please show me the procedure to install python as I am a beginner and has no ideas how to do it. I type "whereis python" in the terminal screen and there are quite a few python file location. After this I did another reboot and there is no issue again. I was quite happy. I did another reboot and the blank screen came back with the following errors.
