Hi, Martin: Not fixed - but some progress, thanks. Excuse the approximate description; I abandoned the test results and rebooted into Ubuntu 15.10 to write to you, so I'm writing from memory.
I downloaded the daily-live of xenial-desktop-amd64.iso about 10AM -0500, confirmed with sha256sum, and burned it to a USB flash drive. Booting from that USB drive seems to work well, but still lacks the Ubuntu Software Center.Attempting an Ubuntu 16.04 install to hard disk (actually, a SSD) failed, but more nicely than yesterday; now it starts to install a new icon low in the Launcher, but then removes it and simply stops the install while continuing to behave smoothly as before. No hang and no error message, but no install, either. Exploring further,I opened the Gnome Software Center and saw, in System>Other, a Gnome system installer that wouldn't install. I found a lot of Update files; after updating (but not restarting; how can I, running as a Live USB, while keeping those changes?), it seemed neither better nor worse. About six hours later now, I've checked and see no newer version. Perhaps tomorrow's daily will be better. Martin, one more thought, and it may be useful: A few days ago, my wife Jill points out, we tried the daily-live on two older PC /desktop/ computers here - one pre-UEFI, one not. And we just repeated those tests now. The pre-UEFI desktop did not detect the Live USB, then or now. The UEFI desktop did and does detect; upon loading Ubuntu 16.04, it does not close out the Shortcut Keys window by clicking outside of it OR by clicking its X icon, but clicking the System Settings icon in the upper right did close it. From there on, all proceeded well until we attempted an Ubuntu installation. The other day, that failed and we think it failed just like the "battery-in" problem we've been discussing- although no battery was involved! (Hmm. Is this the first you've heard of THAT?) Today, that same Ubuntu installation (but using today's daily-live) works fine! That is, we abandoned it upon reaching partitioning (for the first time in a week), but see no reason it would not have worked.
