HI folks. Ubuntu had a bad upgrade - or maybe I just had an upgrade failure - and one of the effects appears to have been to take out my network - so I can't do any of the "apt-get" fixes I am finding on my ancient Windows station to actually fix it.
the system boots fine, looks mostly normal save that networking is gone and my Logitech Unity adapter is n[t seen any longer as well (one possibility was to disable third party stuff - which I could do but without network, I don't really see the point ... yet. ) If I pull down a new copy of Ubuntu, can I repair from that without completely erasing what I have on my laptop? I am going to do some backing up just in case I am stuck with a wipe and reinstall - but would love to not have to do that. And yeah - I know all this happens just before the Backup Solutions meeting. Karma.
