Something eerily similar happened to me on Tuesday. I've been running Ubuntu in VMware for several months for development in Qt targeting a small device. After accepting available updates, I agreed to "restart now." It failed to boot. A more Linux-knowledgeable colleague got it working again for me. He backed out the kernel update, which in my case was linux-image-3.19.0.51-generic. Here’s a possibly helpful link: boot - How to delete a non-working kernel after update? - Ask Ubuntu[^]

I just tried to clean a speck off my monitor then I realized it was part of the image that was displayed. So what are you going on about? It probably makes sense to you. Happy New Year and all that.

I admire your courage. :laugh: Actually I admire Packer's fans. I couldn't care less about the game but the Packer's fans are true fans unlike many fair-weather fans of competing teams. But to answer your question, too many people have the mistaken idea that they have a right to not have their feelings hurt. They need a good slapping if you ask me.

Interesting perspective. I compressed my four years of study into five years.

Sugar became a dirty word. So did salt. The Salted Nut Roll became the Nut Roll or maybe Peanut Roll for a time. I think it's back to Salted Nut Roll now. If I may be excused, I need to visit the vending machine.

Nice recovery at the end, there. If you read some of MehGerbil's other posts I think you'll see the joke was nearly on you. :-D
