@Daniel: Thanks again for those commands . . . I didn't know if removing the whole crash directory was the way to remove those files . . . .
So I ran that command, then I did the "apt update" . . . but then I ran "apt -f install" . . . and that showed a bunch of things to add and subtract . . . so I ran that through and then I did your "apt full- upgrade" . . . and then "sudo reboot" . . . and reboot took it's time. But on restart it was faster to the log in window . . . still got the "clang-a-lang" sound when it loaded, but logging in went "OK" . . . not the zippiest, but acceptable . . . and no universal error red dot symbol!!! So that is more or less OK . . . I probably won't need to re- install . . . I have enough linux distros that I don't need stone axe reliability, but I do prefer systems that "work" when clicking on stuff . . . not taking 60 seconds to reboot from console, etc. For now I think we have "solved" the complaint in this bug report . . . however, I have another bug report filed on U-MATE && Lubuntu 20.10 and that bug happened again while running through the "apt full-upgrade" commands suggested to fix the slow boot issues of this bug . . . and that is that ubuntu seems to be wiping the EFI grub data . . . leaving only itself on the grub listing . . . . It's a pain to have to use the SG2 disk to boot over into OpenSUSE to fix a problem that ubuntu seems to be causing . . . devs don't seem to be able to address that issue, which has been going on for months and effects a fair number of people . . . . If you have any experience in the grub area and can offer some suggestions that would be helpful . . . . I can't believe it happened yet again today in spite of my looking through the packages and not seeing "grub-xxxx" as it has been in the recent events with this problem . . . . Ubuntu does not seem to be playing well with others . . . for might be the last 9 -12 months?? https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/grub2/+bug/1894242 -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Touch seeded packages, which is subscribed to apport in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1893952 Title: Repeated apport failures causing long boot delays Status in apport package in Ubuntu: New Bug description: Full log in comment #4. Been having problems with my installation of 20.10 U-MATE . . . reported here earlier to little fanfare . . . but the issues with very slow boot times, and then when finally arriving at GUI log in window, the log in "tray" is positioned upper left corner of the display and it's like a TTY, where it wants user name and then password. I think today it literally took 5 minutes to get logged into the GUI . . . . As reported previously I have an install of Lu 20.10 in the same drive . . . so far is not having the same problems that U-MATE is having . . . .
