Jamie, thank you for your prompt and helpful reply. Unfortunately, in my frustration I took further steps so can't follow your advice. If only the forum advice had reflected your input instead of suggesting an app that I couldn't install.
What I actually did was try to reinstall from a fresh dvd downloaded from Ubuntu. I had previously used a magazine disk which I felt might have not been up to date, though in reality unlikely to have the bug I was experiencing. But unfortunately the amd64 13.11 distro I downloaded would not make a bootable disk. So I tried to make a bootable usb stick, but that wouldn't boot either. So in frustration I reinstalled 12.04 which I knew worked. That is where I am at the moment, with my faith in Ubuntu just a little shaken, though I have been using it since Novell bought Suse, so quite some time. Let's hope 14.04 is better.
