Public bug reported:
Lubuntu 16.04 worked fine for long time (12.9GB FAT32 in front for data
to be accessible to Windows 7, then 16.89GB EXT4 Extended with 16GB
Lubuntu 16.04 and 1GB Swap). Hadn't used or updated in quite a while so
tried to install updates (to 16.04). Updates required reboot - but
somehow it locked up. Only way to get it started again was to kill power
and reboot - choosing thumb drive in boot loader. Every attempt gave
Ubuntu options - I selected current Ubuntu and sometime the other
baseline ubuntu options). Many attempts to fix but nothing worked.
Finally got 18.04 installer download on disc and tried to install to
thumb (that was this time). Instructions didn't seem to follow correctly
= it asked if I wanted to re-partition - I said no - then when I clicked
to install I was asked if I wanted to move the partitions with a picture
of partitions. I said no again - but it seems like it tried to split the
Lubuntu partition into two smaller partitions (at least that what it has
now - so if that's what it did of course there probably wasn't room to
install 18.04). +++ I will attempt to repartition the thumb myself
(GPartEd) and then try again to load 18.04.
