Hi Brian,

I think this should work.

sudo cp -p -v /etc/default/grub /etc/default/grub.bak
sudo nano /etc/default/grub
(Change GRUB_DEFAULT=0 to GRUB_DEFAULT="Ubuntu, with Linux 4.15.0-48 generic" ) (Make sure you include the double quotes, "") (Ctrl + O then Ctrl + X to save and exit)
sudo systemctl reboot

See if that will do what you're asking. TBH I'm use to systemd-boot, not grub. It's been a while since I've used grub. If that change broke things, you can move the grub.bak file back to /etc/default/grub

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!
