I began to have problems one or two days ago before I performed an update today. The problems were in the form of error notice dialog bubbles that appeared during normal use. I spent time yesterday working on spreadsheets, both online (Google) and locally (LibreOffice). I don't remember the details. Today, I saw the update notice, so I closed Firefox and LibreOffice and began the update. I came back awhile later and found an error dialog again. I closed the error dialog but the update was frozen. I should have taken a screenshot of the update details but did not. I tried starting System Monitor and Firefox from the launcher. I got the little busy symbol while they tried to start but they did not start. I started Gnucash and closed it. I attempted to restart (via the button at top right desktop) but that didn't work. I had a terminal window open at the time and saw the shutting-down broadcast message but it didn't restart. I selected shutdown but that didn't work either. Finally, I held the power button down and restarted. I was surprised when the restart was successful. I expected to have a problem because I had a problem months ago with the grub bootloader but that passed. Since the restart, I've worked on LibreOffice sheets and Firefox but not Google docs. I have experienced error messages and have included two recent screenshots taken while I've composed this.
I'm willing to assist but be aware I'm not a computer science major. I need instruction.
