Never mind. I reflashed the prior image again, and this time I moved the top status window over to the side of the screen. I did not close the drop-down terminal box. When I got back to the above setup, I was able to click the triangle, hide the terminal box and then click the underlying button.
I also fixed a problem with one partition mentioned in fstab not being there. I doubt this caused the problem, but it was different this time around. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/431217 Title: package ttf-mscorefonts-installer 2.6 failed to install/upgrade: subprocess post-installation script returned error exit status 1 -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
