Thanks much! It seems to have worked. But upon reboot Ubuntu tried to do a
"Routine check of drives..." and during that, at 28%, the machine hung, hard.
No response from keyboard (or mouse) at all. This behavior is consistent,
happens every time. I also tried to boot in Recovery mode, and the same thing
happened, at the same place (28%).
In Recovery mode at least a trace displayed some information before it hung
completely. The last lines of the trace showed:
[ 61.595508] [<ffffff(then 8 more hex digits)>] ?start.secondary+0x97/0xc2
---[end trace (16 digit hex)]---
My hunch is I've got a bad sector (or more) or something similar on my boot
drive. If so, is there an Ubuntu utility that will mark it/them bad so
that Ubuntu won't try to use it/them?
What would you recommend I do?
Thanks much in advance.
Dan

Hi,
Can you try with
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get dist-upgrade
commands?
If it fails, please post the resulting log.
Thanks.
