Re: [orca-list] conversion of ubuntu 14.04 iso image file to zip

[Alex Midence <alex midence gmail com>]

My friend, we have concensus.  I am tremendously disappointed in them for
having done this and wishing very badly that I had left my system alone at
13.10 which was working very very well.  All I did was a standard
do-release-upgrade followed a week or so later by an apt-get dist-upgrade.
After the dist-upgrade, it asked me to reboot which I did.  I haven't been
able to get it to boot ever since and that was two weeks ago today.  It
launches straight into the bios  and I am reduced to using my six-year-old
son as a talking screen reader.  He does it in exchange for gummy bears and
30 minutes worth of Minion Rush on my iPhone.  Quite the little negotiator!

I'd call a broken grub an urgent, show-stopping bug, especially in a LTS
release; Canonical, what were you thinking!
