You are probably a victim of updates leaving cruft behind - old kernels, etc. Of you can still boot the old system, install Ubuntu tweak and clean house. There are other approaches to cleaning but they are not on personal ram, on the road.<br><br><div class="gmail_quote">On November 10, 2015 2:07:05 PM EST, Curt Dawe <curtdawe@hotmail.com> wrote:<blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin: 0pt 0pt 0pt 0.8ex; border-left: 1px solid rgb(204, 204, 204); padding-left: 1ex;">
