I ran into problems with my computer after some updates on Friday and tried to fix them. But, no luck. So, I decided to save everything and then do a fresh install. Having to reinstall after just a couple months of use was annoying... but it did fix my computer! Everything is working again.
I learned that I did not need to flash the bios again-- bios are lower level and don't get modified by the operating system.
The following are what I need to do when I configure a new system for myself:
1) Reenter wireless passwords
2) Install additional software
3) Configure settings and accounts (e.g. sync Dropbox account)
4) Configure Ubuntu settings to my liking
5) Get network resources working
To make all easier next time, I'm saving my .config, .thunderbird, and .mozilla directories as well as making a text document with a list of all the software that I install so that I can just run:
sudo apt-get install `cat packages.txt`
I'm glad to be up and running again.
