                                          <p>Hi All,</p>
                                          <p>Since I may not make
                                            meeting (niece visiting and
                                            Thurs. is her last day) I'm
                                            putting my issue out for
                                            comment and hopefully
                                            answers. As many of you know
                                            I used to updgrade instead
                                            of clean installs and did
                                            that since Ubuntu 6.04. I
                                            had also added many apps
                                            from third parties and also
                                            modified many, many conf
                                            files to keep things
                                            working. I had a meltdown
                                            and lost much of my data but
                                            following a partial
                                            recovery, thanks to a
                                            certain group member, I
                                            installed a clean version of
                                            18.04 onto a new 1TB SSD. I
                                            have ot tinkered at all with
                                            3rd party software nor
                                            modified any conf files or
                                            been a bad boy in any way!</p>
                                          <p>My issue ids that I cannot
                                            shut down my box in anyway
                                            other than a hard shutdown.
                                            I also cannot restart it. I
                                            have tried the GUI option as
                                            well as switching to text
                                            mode and using "sudo
                                            shutdown now" or "sudo
                                            restart now". In those cases
                                            I get the splash screen with
                                            the "traveling lights" and
                                            Unutu but it hangs there.
                                            The traveling dots hang on
                                            the first dot of the splash
                                            screen and nothing happens.
                                            I had hoped that text mode
                                            would give give me an
                                            indication of the issues but
                                            I can't stay in that mode
                                            for some reason. </p>
                                          <p>Thanks for any help.</p>
