P.S.: It passed a memory test lasting an hour which I ran from GRUB yesterday morning, before and after which it could not load Ubuntu. So to me that suggests something other than a hardware issue; hence my thoughts about the file directory 'disintegrating' at a software level, as Al warned might happen at some future point after my foray into sudo nautilus several months ago. -- ubuntu-uk@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-uk https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UKTeam/
