I tried a bunch of fixes but found one that worked! I edited / "etc/default/grub" and manually changed the screen resolution to 1366x768. that may have worked so I shutdown (hard) and booted (after, once again, moving my user name down in the boot order in the Bios) and successfully bringing up the Grub menu. I arbitrarily picked 4.15.0-48 generic and lo and behold Wifi, sound, resolution, xrandr output shows many screen res. options and things seem to be ok, for now. I would like this kernel to be the first choice for booting. I'm sure there is a simple way to do this. can anyone enlighten me? I would really appreciate it but I can also search and I'm sure there is a solution to be found. Talk about Ghosts in the Shell!! Thanks for your indulgences! --
