Hi Alessandro,

Thanks for the reply.

I've attached the requested files - I added a bonus journal file as I'd had
so many crashes after waking up the laptop on the dock.

When I run step 2, I get the "Sorry, Ubuntu 26.04..." popup - is that
expected?  If so, I don't know where to find the ID if you can help me with
that please?

Thanks,
Duncan
