[plug] Fwd: Dead Ubuntu

[bob]

Hi,

Since writing the original email I created a new USB wit Ubuntu 20.10 
amd64 which works fine on a second computer but not on the original 
computer.

A search on google indicates this problem is quite common but I have not 
found a way of repairing it.

I have had varying degrees of success using advanced options and 
selecting various options but there appears to be a mismatch of some sort.

It is a bit beyond my knowledge base

Thanks

Bob
