Can't access the grub menu for older kernels. Using shift key during

couple of weeks.<br>

Weirdness</div>

<div style="background-color:

<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>
<p>Brian</p>
