Update:
booted into recovery to older version; checked system summary; did dpkg
repair. Lots of messages about issues. shut down; booted in recovery of
current version; repeat dpkg repair. One pass memtest. shut down, booted
normally. Everything looks OK now.
I expect my improper shut downs when the monitor was not working broke a
bunch of stuff. Free Geek monitor seems nice. Both computers seem happy
now. Me too.
