<p>Thanks for the help. Since I wrote this I have done a clean
install to 18.04 and things are mostly fine. I do have some weird
shutdown, boot and reboot issues but am working around them.
Essentially the laptop never shuts down but just shows a splash
screen until I hard power it off, boots into the newest kernel
which does not work graphically so I boot and choose a kernel that
works. Not much older but older enough to work. No reboot at all
as there is no clean shutdown to restart from and in any case it
would boot into the kernel that is graphically an issue. I've
gotten some good advice from the GLUGgers up here but haven't
implemented them yet. Oh, the Bios shows the drives, including my
SSD, but also a choice that is my user name only. It pops up to
the top even after I change the order to boot from the SSD first.
I've never seen a user name as a boot device.</p>
<p>I will hopefully get around to this soon, with the advice I've
gotten. Just don't want to gum up the works!</p>
<p>Many thanks,</p>
<p>Brian<br>

Hi Brian,<br>
<br>
I don't mind trying to take a stab at the laptop, if you wanted to
bring it to the ABQLUG meeting. Just make sure to bring the
charger.<br>
<br>
I typically run this command to fix broken updates.<br>
<br>
sudo apt -f install<br>
<br>
Have you tried that already?<br>
<br>
Ultimately I would rather move that laptop to Ubuntu 18.04 if
possible. Supporting 16.10 doesn't seem like a very good idea.<br>
<br>
Also, your computer's time is wrong. (I think this is how you
would fix it on Ubuntu 16.10)<br>
<br>
sudo timedatectl set-ntp on<br>
<br>
Then run this to see if it actually updated the time. <br>
<br>
timedatectl<br>

Regards,<br>

Hi All,<br>
<br>
I ask about a meeting as I could bring my laptop and perhaps get
help in resolving the problem of having no dm after updating
normally with update manager. Just security updates. Ubuntu
16.10 AMD64. Have tried everything that I can find on web to no
avail. In text mode I run "startx" and get a quick splash and
returned to text mode and "waiting for xserver to shut down (II)
server terminated successfully (0), Closing log file.esetting
enabled.xinit: connection to X server lost"<br>
Any help? Most certainly appreciated!<br>
Brian <br>
