Tormod, Thank you very much for your prompt and helpful response on the problem that I was experiencing! This demonstrates the vibrancy and value of Open Source in general and Ubuntu in particular.
With some "fear", this "dumb user" made the change that you suggested after learning to use sudo and nano, and it worked! Thank you very much! John John H.

The sound is initialized (I can hear the startup sound) and I can login through SSH. The screen gets initalized every 3 to 4 times of startup but I can't decern a pattern.
