<p>Hello Bob and others,</p>
<p>A few days ago, someone managed to help me as follows.... He had
a USB stick formatted with "Ventoy" - a kind of virtual boot CD
program. <br>
</p>
<p><a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="https://www.ventoy.net/en/index.html">https://www.ventoy.net/en/index.html</a></p>
<p>He has put some ISO's at this stick, amongst which the one of
Kubuntu 22.04. <br>
</p>
<p>When you boot with this key, you get a grub menu with the ISO's
from which you can install - amongst which Kubuntu 22.04.</p>
<p>A fresh install has been made, after which only the data file
from a recent backup have been restored - not the system files
that may have caused the problem.</p>
<p>Yours.</p>
<p>Bas. <br>
</p>
