Could you please come around to see me
and to help me to debug the issues I have
with my laptop.
I reinstalled Ubuntu GNU/Linux in an attempt
to get su ... exit online, but I found out
that sudo apt install works
just fine.
My issues are as follows:
(1) Scrolling the screen has slowed down dramatically.
(2) My USB stick drives are not working anymore.
(3) The mouse doesn't work.
Because my USB stick doesn't work I
am reluctant to re-install Linux by reformatting
my hard drive as I am unable to save my
work.
