I had suspected the update manager earlier. I attempted to uninstall and
reinstall, but Ubuntu would not allow that. Immediately before this bug
emerged, I had successfully configured the printer attached to this
computer to be used by a windows computer via the network. When the bug
emerged, I attempted to remove all access to the other computers on this
local network. I do not know how to do this. However, when this computer
is the only computer turned on, the bug still occurs. The wireless
internet connection consists of a wireless modem. One of the three
windows computers, located far from the modem is wired directly to the
modem. The remaining computers connect directly through a wireless card.
All the other computers, including this one and another Ubuntu computer
that I am preparing for someone else, function properly.

The attachment seems to indicate that the update manager is attempting
to install the same set of updates as it did when the problem started.
Since the problem occurs even when the computer is not attached to the
internet, this file is stored somewhere in this computer. It would seem,
to this naive programmer, that if one could find the file and the
execute file that elicits it, one could find a fix. But I understand tha
this is not an easy task --way too much for me.
