hello daniel, thanks for your response. i'll try to work through your list. i'm presuming that i must use the terminal to search crash logs. so far, i can't get the terminal to recognize my commands. i'm presuming i must use sudo commands to get access to the files. however, no combination of commands i've used so far get me in to the crash logs. do you have any ideas for me? also, one more hint. when restarting my computer and firefox, an unprompted ad block plus page is opening, telling me that ad block plus has been installed. however, i haven't added any abp installations since upgrading to 18.04 a few weeks ago( abp carried over from 16.10 which was previously my os). more and more of the sites i visit recognize the abp and require me to delete it before they'll allow me to access their site. i'm wondering if i should delete the program altogether and reinstall.
thanks again for responding to my problem. paul retallack On 07/01/2018 07:25 PM, Daniel van Vugt wrote: > It sounds like some part of the system has crashed. Please: > > 1.
