[PLUG] Ubuntu upgrade

[Michael Barnes]

I rebooted again and at the grub screen chose 14.04LTS. Everything came up
normally. After login, I get a pop-up window that says 14.04 is out dated
and no longer supported. Anyhow, display and everything works, so I know at
least the hardware is okay. Shutdown and restart, let grub screen choose
default and back to blank screens. I can ssh in and shutdown from remote
session. Screens give Ubuntu shutdown splash just before power off.
