Ubuntu worked fine last night. This morning booted and it auto filled in
my password which it had never done before.  I restarted it and
everything failed.  Now I can't even reinstall from a bootable USB?  I
moved to Ubuntu from Windows because I despise Gates and his platforms.
But this is the third reinstall in a month.  And I'm an old Commodore
Amiga user from the 80's.
