lol
spotted it
typo “linux-generic” not “iinux-generic”
Yep LOL
I can deal with a reinstall… Don’t want you to take all your day on that. I am a former IT but a linux noobie
JF
so what happens if you run?
sudo apt update && sudo apt dist-upgrade
sudo apt install --reinstall linux-generic linux-image-generic
I don’t get it either but now :

jeff@desktop-office:~$ uname -a
Linux desktop-office 4.15.0-33-generic #36-Ubuntu SMP Wed Aug 15 16:00:05 UTC 2018 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux
and my pc booted within seconds !!!
THANKS so much !!! Not sure at which step we fixed it but tks !!!

Curious as I am I went through the topics list and thought I check out the boot time on my Dell laptop doing :
systemd-analyze blame
I get this error message:
Bootup is not yet finished (org.freedesktop.systemd1.Manager.FinishTimestampMonotonic=0).
Please try again later.
This, even though my computer is active for over an hour.
systemctl list-jobs
