<p>Thank you Jared and I will does this ASAP, probably tomorrow. I
did update Grub so no worries there and will do so subsequently.
I'll let you know if the settings stick as I did install
grub-customizer. Now I just need to read how to use it correctly.</p>
<p>Many thanks again.<br>

Hi Brian,<br>
<br>
If you are able to get to a x session (GUI) I would adjust grub
with grub-customizer. You can do this from command line, however,
it would mean adjusting /etc/grub.d files. <br>
<br>
sudo add-apt-repository ppa:danielrichter2007/grub-customizer ;
sudo apt update ; sudo apt install grub-customizer ;
grub-customizer<br>

<br>
However, I would probably would just tell grub to not display the
menu. As long as you're going to manually enter the GRUB_DEFAULT
option in /etc/default/grub<br>
<br>
I also forgot to tell you to run update-grub after you edit
/etc/default/grub<br>
<br>
So this is what you should do.<br>
sudo cp -p -v /etc/default/grub /etc/default/grub.bak<br>
sudo nano /etc/default/grub<br>
(Change GRUB_DEFAULT=0 to GRUB_DEFAULT="Ubuntu, with Linux
4.15.0-48 generic" ) (Make sure you include the double quotes, "")<br>
(Also add this any where in the same file, just make sure it has
it's own line to itself, GRUB_DISABLE_OS_PROBER=true ) (Ctrl + O
then Ctrl + X to save and exit)<br>
sudo update-grub<br>
sudo systemctl reboot<br>
<br>
That should force that particular kernel to load on it's own,
without a grub menu at boot time. <br>

<p>Many thanks Jared,</p>
<p>I will give this a shot tomorrow. I don't think it will fix
the restart issue but perhaps this kernel is magical. I will
find out. Any idea why my user name would show up in the Bios
boot order? Do you think it's something I could delete safely?</p>
<p>Cheers</p>

Hi Brian, <br>
<br>
I think this should work.<br>
<br>
sudo cp -p -v /etc/default/grub /etc/default/grub.bak<br>
sudo nano /etc/default/grub<br>
(Change GRUB_DEFAULT=0 to GRUB_DEFAULT="Ubuntu, with Linux
4.15.0-48 generic" ) (Make sure you include the double quotes,
"") (Ctrl + O then Ctrl + X to save and exit)<br>
sudo systemctl reboot<br>
<br>
See if that will do what you're asking. TBH I'm use to
systemd-boot, not grub. It's been a while since I've used
grub. If that change broke things, you can move the grub.bak
file back to /etc/default/grub<br>

<p>I tried a bunch of fixes but found one that worked! I
edited / "etc/default/grub" and manually changed the
screen resolution to 1366x768. that may have worked so I
shutdown (hard) and booted (after, once again, moving my
user name down in the boot order in the Bios) and
successfully bringing up the Grub menu. I arbitrarily
picked 4.15.0-48 generic and lo and behold Wifi, sound,
resolution, xrandr output shows many screen res. options
and things seem to be ok, for now. I would like this
kernel to be the first choice for booting. I'm sure there
is a simple way to do this. can anyone enlighten me? I
would really appreciate it but I can also search and I'm
sure there is a solution to be found.</p>
