[DC LoCo] Kernel question

[N.C. Weber]

I usually use Ubuntu Tweak's Janitor tool to remove older kernels when 
an update is installed.  The one time I didn't do that, my computer kept 
crashing the desktop interface five minutes after logging in.  Took me a 
while to figure out I had to remove three older kernels on the system. 
Once I did that, it ran smooth as butter.

Your problem is most likely different, though from your description.
