In the process of trying to restore some missing software Ubuntu crashed and now it seems it doesn’t want to boot up all the way.  I’m trying to diagnose and fix but if it ends up being too bad I may do a fresh install rather than restore from backups because it has had numerous problems since the last OS upgrade and I fear something did not go well.

     Other machines with Ubuntu like operating systems that you can use in the meantime are:
