[ubuntu-za] What went wrong?

[Jan Greeff]

Hi Adrianna and Miles, thanks for the replies.

After running the command, the basics were still running but there was 
nothing appearing when I click on the settings/shutdown icon, the 
dash/home button and a few other places that I cannot remember. Then I 
rebooted and got an almost blank black screen with options like to start 
in safe mode, but even these did not work so basically there was nothing 
I could do.

Since reloading Ubuntu 12.04 on a different partition, I can now access 
the folders in the crippled partition.

I need to use Legacy Genealogy and Nova Loader from Comb Communications 
on Windows. The latter also needs USB support.

Regards,

Jan
