As a student in South Asian languages, culture and history, specialising in comparative cultures and cognitive science, I take special interest in the influence of cultural paradigms in the perception and interaction with the world in terms of development. I am also a polyglot with a strong passion for learning languages, including programming languages such as Python. Also I am firm supporter of unix and free software.

No Grub :( I tried to install it with the boot-repair application, but when it boots it simply says there's no OS. I think I'm going to make a clean install.

@UriHerrera: how can I find out what's broken and how can I fix anything using liveCD?

@UriHerrera: I have seen your other answer on xubuntu not booting after some updates. In case I am mistaken about updating / booting, I'd like to know what you suggest.

comment Xubuntu won't boot after applying Security Fixes
I tried the upgrade install for a similar issue but stopped when the upgrade asked me for a new user name and password (which I found odd) and now the liveCD doesn't provide the option to upgrade any more. (Sorry if I seem to hijack this question, but my problem seems similar and the answer conflicting with my experience.)

That is not true if you are upgrading from livecd.

No, I've been travelling today and I was offline all the time and I rebooted several times today without issues.

comment Gnome-shell notifications in the tray gets overcrowded
It's funny because it didn't do that earlier as far as I can remember. There is also an extension that specifically makes notifications permanent, which suggests notifications should not stay otherwise (/confusion/?)

comment GNOME Shell's search function doesn't work properly
Could you describe how it looks like or provide a screen-shot? It is not clear (to me) from your description whether there is at all any icon that shows up on the overview or not. Also what extensions did you install, were these all extensions supported by Gnome?
