"Disk Utility" does not show me UUIDs, and I was unable to find any
utility to show them, i.e. comment #8 might have been out-of-line.

HOWEVER, Disk Utility did show me interesting data regarding the partitioning 
of my 500 GB linux drive:
1) Swap partition is 10 GB, /dev/sda1
2) Bootable partition is 490 GB, /dev/sda2
3) Filesystem partition is 490 GB, /dev/sda5

Clearly there is a problem with the size of the two partitions.  The
partition numbering is also suspect.

When I select the "Filesystem" partition and click "Check Filesystem",
it says "File system is not clean" but does not offer any more
information or suggestion as to how to fix it.

I'd like to know what happened to /dev/sda3 and /dev/sda4, i.e. how did
the numbering skip from 2 to 5?

At this point is looks like the 10.04 installation is fried and that I
will have to re-format the disk.  Am I better off with 10.04 or 10.10 or
should I just stick with Windows 7?  :-(

I was hoping that my pain would benefit the Ubuntu community but it
looks like nothing has been learned and I just wasted my time and
community effort...
