[ale] Just Discovered ALE

[Gregory Beyer]

Hello all,

I just discovered ALE, so am stoked about meeting fellow tux-heads in 
person rather than just on forums -- and learning about Duplicity to boot!

I've been Ubuntu, then Mint since Vista ticked me off, & never went 
back.  Now I'm up against a new nemesis on a new laptop - EFI.   I'm 
struggling with my Mint16 install, now a week without a running 
installation (just live USB booting) despite extensive forums searches 
on my problems.

I've disabled fast boot & secure boot, installation goes without a 
hitch, but I get nothing but error messages when I pull the USB and try 
to boot from disk.   Tried fstab changes with no joy. Tried boot-repair, 
too.

If I bring my laptop on Thursday, might I trouble someone to look at 
what's happening (not!) at boot?

I cringe at being that guy that shows up for the first time and asks for 
help, but that's the timing that a motherboard death has forced on me.

Thanks so much,

Greg
