Fabio, Thank you for explaining to me. I really appreciate your manner and your help. You set a good example to all of us.
I suppose you have seen that the NVIDIA update that killed our systems is 260.19.06. The version I was able to restore thanks to pal_ was 256.53. I am operational now. But I had to get there the hard way (though I understand it might have been harder than it needed to be due to my own ignorance). Is this normal for a previous build to not be available through"Synaptic" or "Additional Drivers" applications if an update causes a disaster like this for some Ubuntu fans? Mike Peter, Sorry you had to reinstall but glad you are functional again.
