I concluded Ubuntu is a PITA. So ended my adventures in Ubuntu land.
Ah, Rizla, don't give up on Ubuntu so easily. I don't have the skills to help you but I'm sure somebody here or at LinuxQuestions https://www.linuxquestions.org/questions/ could. It takes a little getting used to but Ubuntu is great!
