I am sending a Cc of this message to the "PLUG-Discuss" mailing list --
since some of you might be readers of that, but not of "Ubuntu-us-az".

Great!
What I do not know about Ubuntu would fill a book.
(or, maybe a HD).
My laptop (bought used at Red 7) came with Ubuntu.
(6.06 LTS).
Then, in mid 2008 I attended an AZ Loco install fest, and they helped me install Ubuntu 8.04 LTS (and update firmware on a wifi card).
Now lately, I have had a problem booting -- I think it might be some issue with grub (or is it lilo?)
When it comes up, it has a little picture of a padlock (like, if someone put some password protection on the bootup, and it expects me to unlock it?)
I do not know what to do then.
Maybe someone (perhaps MatthewMPP?) can give me some help and/or advice at the W. side meeting tonight (Wed. March 25, 2009);
...bring along some knowledge (and maybe a rescue CD?) that could help.
THANK YOU,

* PLUG West side this Wednesday, http://PLUG.phoenix.az.us/node/357 .
The West side meeting will have a presentation on Free Software gaming.
The presentation is based on a presentation from SCaLE that got good
reviews from all I've talked to. In fact, the presenter from SCaLE and
calimer are probably plotting on Free Software gaming stuff.

tyche then said, "Thanks, xHans. We appreciate the information."
There being no further business, the meeting was adjourned at 9:33 PM
