I don't know what I did. But it sure was not correct.
After I finished your instructions, I restarted the computer and had a blue screen with a message that basically said it could not boot. Had something to do with X1. I had no use of the mouse at that point.
Anyway I was in over my head and manually shout down. Tryed to start again and got same results, a blue screen. I then reinstalled Linux 17.3 I did have all files and pitchers saved so it all good.
