Thank you for the help. In fact, the first bug I found, after a fresh install of Ubuntu 18.04.1, was actually that the computer was hanging at the purple screen on boot. I attempted to fix this problem by installing video driver PPAs and setting "nomodeset" on grub. I mistakenly thought this fix

Thank you for the guidance. I actually installed these PPA's early on, in an effort to get around hanging at the purple screen on boot. I was unable to use ppa-purge. Perhaps my syntax was wrong? Instead, I have removed all the PPAs through Software & Updates. Or was there just one PPA that nee
