   I am having so many problems with this 22.04 that I am just going to   
   limp along for now, I have most of the important stuff functioning, and   
   then try both 24.04 and then Linux Mint as alternatives. But screwing   
   around with this has waste so much of my time that I need to get my   
   other life back up-to-date, and then come back to this later. I am not   
   knowledgeable enough to fix this on my own.   
   One thing that got better: Automount appears to have some functioning   
   now. But that's about it!   
   Thanks for all the help.
