I am sending a Cc of this message to the "PLUG-Discuss" mailing list -- since some of you might be readers of that, but not of "Ubuntu-us-az".
MatthewMPP (was quoted as having) said: > "[...] more active in the community lately. > Plug meetings, ASU install fest, and > Wednesday I will be going to > the West Side meeting. Great! What I do not know about Ubuntu would fill a book. (or, maybe a HD). My laptop (bought used at Red 7) came with Ubuntu. (6.06 LTS). Then, in mid 2008 I attended an AZ Loco install fest, and they helped me install Ubuntu 8.04 LTS (and update firmware on a wifi card). Now lately, I have had a problem booting -- I think it might be some issue with grub (or is it lilo?) When it comes up, it has a little picture of a padlock (like, if someone put some password protection on the bootup, and it expects me to unlock it?) I do not know what to do then. Maybe someone (perhaps MatthewMPP?) can give me some help and/or advice at the W. side meeting tonight (Wed. March 25, 2009); ...bring along some knowledge (and maybe a rescue CD?) that could help.
