Dell Inspiron 1501 amd64 4gb memory  Ubuntu 20.04.1

I had tried Ub 20.04 before so just went straight to the install from
the usb boot.

I lost my wired connection and the wifi does not work until b43 install
is done.  However, when I connected my mobile via USB, the wired
connection appeared.

Completed the install and included the download external drivers etc.

When I rebooted, I got the "Oh no.  Something has gone wrong" with the
log in or out (can't remember which).  Tabbed to it because the mouse
wasn't working and entered and after a while it returned to the Oh no
screen.  Couldn't find a way to resolve this so did a hard reboot.

I think but I'm not certain that this caused a lock problem with the SSD
because when I tried to use Windows, it reported a disk problem, started
to do dskchk but reported it couldn't continue because it couldn't write
boot sector.

Eventually fixed that problem.

Next time, I "Tried" Ubuntu before installing.  I don't remember exactly
what I did but I changed mouse behaviour and appearance of the desktop.
Installed again and it worked fine (did not lose the wired ethernet
connection).

I don't expect anything to be done about this but decided to report the
bug in case it sheds light on any other problems.  Sorry I didn't do a
complete log of what I did but I was trying anything to make my system
work !
