Comment 9 for bug 1511158

thx/Seasons Greetings Robie. For now, I don't know which way to turn except
seeing months down the tubes

   1. I acknowledge I'm the who lost a few very valuable work when a bug
   crashed my PC, which I can't fix whatever has caused my fluttering greyed
   out monitor screen, leading to crash after crash, saying for example
   mysql-server-5.6 5.6.27-0ubuntu1 failed to install/upgrade: subprocess
   installed post-installation script returned error exit status 1
   2. I must set my ailing PC the side, save my files to my cloud; and when
   feasible wipe this new WD 1T HD clean, then I guess, install 15.04 in lieu
   of 15.10
   3. Already, alternatively I bought a new laptop got me Win 8.1
   obsessively wanting to auto-upgrade to Win 10full of advertisements. I
   mean, to get the peace of mind Linux brings, that I must partition that new
   laptop's HD and very carefully select and install an OS having better
   reports

Again, Seasons Greetings!!!!
