First of all, happy new year to all.
I seem to have a major issue with the updates of Ubuntu 14.04 installed today (10 Jan 2018). It worked flawlessly before restart, but now nothing happens.
Usually, my computer takes only a few seconds to boot and takes me straight to the login screen. Here, I have nothing on screen and no sound to tell me that the login screen has been reached, so I assume it isn't booting. I have attempted to use a Lubuntu LiveUSB to prompt an alternate boot, but it doesn't notice it, and I cannot access the BIOS (I have tried a variety of keys). I never have been able to access the BIOS on initial boot, I can only do that when restarting my computer from a successful first boot, so some kind of fast track boot is in place.
My machine is a Shuttle XPC, and Ubuntu 14.04 is the only OS installed on it.
I think what I need before anything else is a way to get around this fast boot.
Sorry if this has appeared on here before, and I'd appreciate the help if you can provide some. Cheers, Matthew
