Kudo's to your Mom :-) (sincerely).

I would suspect that when she did the upgrade, the upgrade probably
correctly modifed the /etc/apt/sources.list to include:

deb http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ gutsy main restricted universe
multiverse

Mine didn't. After pulling out the remainder of what little hair I have
left I finally manually added the source. Then I ssh'ed into the
machine, did updates/upgrades, reinstalled Ubuntu, modified the UUID for
the drive, and reinstalled the cursed 'ubuntu-desktop from meta hell'
and *finally* got this thing (I am using it now) to bring up a login
screen & gnome. Main drive and data are intact, second windows drive is
off in UUID land which I'll figure out later (I officially proclaim that
I hate UUID - every try to manually enter a UUID via nano when you're
tired & pissed off vs /dev/hda1?). Now I'm off to fix my cups printers
which the wonderful apparmor has predictably managed screwed up...
anyone know what my localhost password is for this new & wonderful print
manager is...
