I just don't recall. I think I did clean install instead of migrating
from 16.04. Onto new SSD. I think I installed Xubuntu. Probably
messed it up along the way trying our different desktops.
Curious to me I have XFCE and Xbuntu as options.

Yes, I have ownership of all files in home diretxories and subdirectories.
I have updated the machine.
The graphics driver is for internal Intel Graphics. Not sure how to get
an alternative.
I am not averse to blowing out all the desktop environments and
reinstalling them, if that is even a solution.
If I pick XFCE as desktop, it won't let me past password prompts, but if
I pick Ubuntu I get a desktop. In that desktop, I cannot run Synaptic
from menu. It won't accept the user password, that can run sudo.
I can run Synaptic from terminal.
