Thank you for this information about Eric. Unfortunately that is not my only problem. During the build I also got the message "nvidia-340 package post-installation script subprocess returned error exit status 10" and notification that my system was unstable. The resulting system was unable to display the background image and substituted pixel noise. I next got a message that updates were available so I attempted to run the software updates. This again appeared to fail for nvidia-340. I next got a message that a restart was needed to complete the updates, so I restarted the machine. But on trying to restart, after Ubuntu is displayed, I get a stream of text followed by a blank screen. I am completely out of my depth here. Can you advise me on how to report this problem and hopefully how to restore my system?
