The screen I can't get past is the one to select the bootloader, not installing one is one of the options on that screen but the 'OK' button just dones't seem to function on ANY of the choices on that screen. I guess I will take Len's advice and give it another try when the next LTS version comes out. I've no real problem with Debian other than they lag so far behind with some of their packaging, it's not as if I HAVE to move over to Xubuntu immediately. I suppose another idea would be to try the standard Ubuntu installer and then put XFCE in myself (that one just occurred to me).

On 12/02/2017 07:46 AM, I wrote: Well, I eventually found an answer to all this. The lockup occurs any time that I try to install the bootloader to one of my large (4 TB) drives. However, if I put the bootloader on my sole remaining 1.5 TB drive, the installtion process works flawlessly. This would also account for it working in the virtual machine, of course! I don't *KNOW* that the problem will occur with any drive of 2TB or larger, but it sure seems the most likely guess for a transition point. :) And no, it was NOT possible to get to the loop when trying to install to the 4TB drive and then tell the installer to switch to the 1.5 TB drive. That didn't get me out of the loop. I suspect that part of the installer's code is also broken. I noticed someone posting with this same problem (the loop) on the Ubuntu forums, so I just posted a message there with my suspicions about the drive size. Brian.

[xubuntu-users] JEdit broken by upgrade
I make occasional use of JEdit in sending a large text file where the recipient is limited to 13,000 character e-mails - JEdit gives me a running character count of what's in the cut-and-paste buffer, very convenient! As part of either the upgrade to 18.04 OR an upgrade of 18.04 (i.e. I can't remember whether JEdit has ever run successfully under 18.04 or not) something has broken, and I get a yard or so of Java error messages when I try to run JEdit from a terminal (see below). I'm afraid Java is a total mystery to me. So is anyone capable of deciphering this for me? I've tried purging JEdit and reinstalling it, the installation works just fine, no error messages. I've tried reinstalling all the Java stuff I can find through Synaptic, same again, no errors. If you know as much about Java as I do, then I guess a secondary question is whether anyone can successfully run JEdit under 18.04? OK, all the errors that I get are blow. Thanks for any assistance.
