Don't worry about engaging in my fiasco but I have learned a
lesson, though I don't know how I'll resolve it and getting
back to a simpler OS set-up as you describe and still have
at least the most important apps that I use thru Wine or
otherwise. And what's this about backups? We don't need no
stinking backups! (Hah). I know that the rsync was supposed
to create a snapshot of my system and all in it. I know that
you're not dealing with this sort of thing but it's good
info none the less. It seems that the update not only
deleted folders it resurrected some back into my OS and they
pop up in my file browser after I had deleted them! I wonder
what went on with that update. what a scramble.<br>
<br>
Anyway, if I can make it perhaps someone can at least be
amused!<br>
<br>
I'll try to make it, we'll see.<span class="HOEnZb"><font

Brian, I look forward to meeting you. I arrive at the
Baking Co. at<br>
about 5pm, meeting officially starts at 5:30. It runs
till 7pm when<br>
the cafe closes. Several members adjourn to the
Second St. brewery on<br>
2nd St., I usually pass on that and go home. I will
not comment on the<br>
listing you have of things to reveal and repair. I
choose to make my<br>
computing simpler and move on to making things work
adequately; then<br>
carefully save my own files, yielding to progress the
OS and<br>
applications. The higher level administrators at our
meeting will<br>
likely be able to comment and assist you.<br>
See you Thursday.<br>
Thank you, Ted P.<br>

Thanks Ted. What time at Baking Co.? I may try to
get there if I can get a<br>
lift from my wife who has a similar time slot when
she's out, 6-7:30. I'm<br>
still dealing with my OS breakdown and have done a
few things. Briefly, I<br>
cloned my SSD to a new SSD and then analysed it with
TestDisk (comes with<br>
Parted Magic and is a bootable CD). Found a ton of
deleted folders that<br>
disappeared when I did the update as per the urging
of Update Manager and<br>
toasted my 1.04 OS. TestDisk shows all the file
structure in a partition, my<br>
Linux primary, both existing and the deleted folders
that it can find. I had<br>
lost a major folder I named "Miscellany" (lots of
important files over the<br>
years) and it shows up but has no files. My Music
folder also shows up as<br>
not deleted but has no content either. There are
hundreds of deleted files,<br>
of course as they haven't yet been overwritten (or
they wouldn't show up).<br>
So I've lost at least the content of 2 major folders
or the folder itself<br>
and apparently many others since I can't run Ubuntu
Desktop. Which are what<br>
I can't begin to know and trying to restore them all
so that Ubuntu 16.04<br>
works again would be difficult beyond measure!
TestDisk is a pretty amazing<br>
tool and I could show it off. It gives one the
chance to recover those<br>
deleted folders and copy and then restore them. I
have so many deleted files<br>
that I have no idea how I would ever determine which
are ones I want/need to<br>
add to a new 18.04 install. I also want to migrate
all of my browser, email,<br>
etc. from my hacked firefox and thunderbird (had to
to get them to work with<br>
my address books, bookmarks, etc. that the newest
versions don't see for<br>
some reason). If I can make it I can bring the
Parted Magic disk, my new USB<br>
1TB drive that has my cloned SSD on it. The rsync
that you helped me with<br>
Mark, is not bootable nor readable with test disk
except with Parted Magic<br>
file browser (no deleted folders or files though as
only TestDisk does that)<br>
and not from my current ldxe desktop file browser.
It shows up as a bootable<br>
image but I get a grub error and a rescue prompt,
with which I know not what<br>
to do. So a long story and I'm not even sure i can
manage the meeting but<br>
I'd like to try.<br>

NMGLugers, We meet again this week and if we see
the same group we can<br>
follow up on several in-process repairs to
software and installation.<br>
There might be a chance to "tweak" a new install
to get the most<br>
appropriate software for a new user. We can look
at upgrade issues for<br>
Ubuntu, and I have an 18.04 Live/Install usb to
show off. I did some<br>
reading and at one place it said the Upgrade of
older systems is<br>
applied at the xx.04.1 level, that is in the first
numbered release<br>
after the initial release. July 1st is the time
these have appeared in<br>
the past, give or take some leeway.<br>
Anybody can write to the list and add comments or
issues to address at<br>
the meeting on Thursday.<br>
Thank you, Ted P.<br>
