Yes I get the Grub screen. I have to pick Version 14..10 to
read your Emails and then boot up again to get to Version
15.04 to try the fixes. I think I can get a Comand Line in
Grub plus several other choices. I really appreciate the time
all of you are puting in to help me solve this. I was just
used to calling my friend, Robbie, and he would tell me what
to do or how to get the Info needed to solve it. After he died
I found I did not know that much about Linux because he was
always there<br>

Ok, try this. I haven't had time to research it all, but it will
be temporary and won't hurt anything if it doesn't work.<br>
<br>
1) Boot to the grub screen<br>
<br>
2) Press 'e' (for edit)<br>
<br>
3) You will see a 'boot sequence' and near the bottom (about the
2nd line from the bottom) you will see a 'linux' line that has
your kernel mentioned.<br>
<br>
My linux line looks like:<br>
<title>Konsole output</title>
<div> <span style="font-family:monospace"><span
style="color:#000000;background-color:#ffffff;">linux
/vmlinuz-3.19.0-12-generic

</span></div>

<br>
We're only concerned with the end part: yours will probably
have ro quiet splash<br>
<br>
replace the 'quiet splash' with the vga=795 <br>
<br>
If you know more about your screen resolution, you might use the
appropriate value from the chart below.<br>

4) After the changes, press F10 to boot.<br>

<br>
Hope it does better for you.<br>

You might also try vga=normal but I am not sure that is used
anymore.<br>

I did the above two times but it did not save it. When I go back in
it is back on quiet splash<br>
<br>
This error showed up when I opened Thunderbird this time. Is it
related and how to save the change in grub.<br>
