<p>I got clearance from my MD to drive, carefully. If I don't feel
it's a good idea I'll email you Satsangat. thanks and I'll keep
you posted. Oh, I pulled the HDD from my last laptop and it had
some of my missing data but very outdated so some is gone forever.
The mysterious Miscellany folder was in there and some of my
music. New install is working just peachy. Using MATE WM for
Ubuntu. Much like the classic gnome but more easily configured for
applets I want, like sound, screen brightness, etc. Now to set up
a back up routine. I like GUI versions so I'll see what's in the
most recent repositories.<br>

<div dir="auto">Brian & NMGLugers, Bravo Brian. Glad the
install worked and Grub and wifi wrinkles ironed out. My
take on the browser data is to not bring it in. Unless you
checked all the parameters in Firefox '<a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="about:config">about:config</a>' by
hand and know the defaults, you run the risk of problems.
I say start fresh, read the old files in the isolated
drive if you need to find a link you hae forgotten. But if
you know the name you can find the url. Also read the news
on the new rules from Europe and note how the internet is
changing.
<div dir="auto">Good luck either way. Glad for your
success. Thank you, Ted P.</div>

all,<br>
<br>
After a somewhat tail-chasing evening on my trying
to install 18.04 onto<br>
my new 1TB SSD we gave up. Ted loaned me his USB
live drive (and I will<br>
guard it with your life Ted) and so this afternoon I
allowed the installer<br>
to deal with partitions and Grub, etc. there was an
issue with a UEFI<br>
board capable or not. Last nite we tried tweaking
this and that but the<br>
installer just handled it. I watched the output
during the install and the<br>
installer found my UEFI platform and then did a Grub
upgrade by itself. So<br>
after 20 minutes I had a fully functioning install,
sort of. I knew that<br>
my broadcom driver was wonky even though I could
choose it in the live<br>
version and wifi worked but on the install the
driver showed up but<br>
couldn't be activated. I installed synaptic and then
installed every<br>
broadcom kernel DKMS, and all things Broadcom. I
then chose it as the<br>
driver and now have fully functioning wifi.<br>
A big question is that since I was hacked, probably
at Standing Rock, how<br>
can I migrate profiles (Firefox and Thunderbird) and
files without<br>
dragging some infection with them and giving "them"
access again? I need<br>
help with that one!<br>
I'll try to make next meeting but my wife is out of
town. If someone is on<br>
the north side of town near the P.O., perhaps I
could hitch a ride. I'll<br>
try to use my clout to keep the Baking Co. open
until 7:30 again!<br>
<br>
That's the news from here. Good to have seen all!<br>
<br>
