Hi Gene,
could you install Ubuntu in a virtual machine and take screenshots of
what is happening?
You could upload the pics at http://picpaste.com/ and post the links.
Assumed you should do this, follow this instruction:
https://ubuntu-mate.community/t/install-ubuntu-mate-using-something-else-method/651
FWIW virtualbox might not be the best virtualisation, but it's easy to
use.
Regards,
Ralf
