Good to hear about the install. I'm, probably, available to give you a ride. I come in on 84/285 from Espy so could swing by somewhere. On Sat, May 26, 2018 at 8:26 AM, Ted Pomeroy <ted.pome@gmail.com> wrote:
Brian & NMGLugers, Bravo Brian. Glad the install worked and Grub and wifi wrinkles ironed out. My take on the browser data is to not bring it in. Unless you checked all the parameters in Firefox 'about:config' by hand and know the defaults, you run the risk of problems. I say start fresh, read the old files in the isolated drive if you need to find a link you hae forgotten. But if you know the name you can find the url. Also read the news on the new rules from Europe and note how the internet is changing. Good luck either way. Glad for your success. Thank you, Ted P.

Hi all,
After a somewhat tail-chasing evening on my trying to install 18.04 onto my new 1TB SSD we gave up. Ted loaned me his USB live drive (and I will guard it with your life Ted) and so this afternoon I allowed the installer to deal with partitions and Grub, etc. there was an issue with a UEFI board capable or not. Last nite we tried tweaking this and that but the installer just handled it. I watched the output during the install and the installer found my UEFI platform and then did a Grub upgrade by itself. So after 20 minutes I had a fully functioning install, sort of. I knew that my broadcom driver was wonky even though I could choose it in the live version and wifi worked but on the install the driver showed up but couldn't be activated. I installed synaptic and then installed every broadcom kernel DKMS, and all things Broadcom. I then chose it as the driver and now have fully functioning wifi. A big question is that since I was hacked, probably at Standing Rock, how can I migrate profiles (Firefox and Thunderbird) and files without dragging some infection with them and giving "them" access again? I need help with that one! I'll try to make next meeting but my wife is out of town. If someone is on the north side of town near the P.O., perhaps I could hitch a ride. I'll try to use my clout to keep the Baking Co. open until 7:30 again!
That's the news from here. Good to have seen all!
Brian
