[TriLUG] One thing led to another and killed my Samsung Ultrabook running Linux Mint.

Ok I am home from work and in front of my laptop.

Bill, your <CTRL><ALT><F1> suggestion works. So I will probably start by
moving some files to dropbox or a thumbdrive, then I can tinker on things.

I don't suspect the SSD is failing, although certainly it would not hurt to
check. I have never used ddrescue or anything similar.

I think the problem is that I created a conflict when I reinstalled pulse
from the Mint (wrong) repository. I think it is Kxstudio that has the
correct version. Kxstudio did something to make pulse and jack play nice.
Apparently it is a bad idea to forget those programs are not from the Mint
repository.

Should I start by uninstalling pulse and maybe jack?

Ken, starting from /etc how do I get to the cadence config file and change
the startup scripts?
