Thanks for all your help.
I did some experimenting:
In the first post I mentioned I had a working 'normal' ubuntu on, lets call it disc A.
I had tried unsuccessfully to install kubuntu to disc B.
So I tried 'normal' ubuntu on disc B. That failed with the same error.
I then tried kubuntu on disc A. It worked!! So I am assuming that Ubuntu of either flavour doesn't like disc B!
I really love the new version - I've now got to play with it to understand the differences in layout etc, compared with the previous version.
When I start Kubuntu from the Boot menu I get a grub menu first with various options including advanced options and memtest - is this normal as it didn't occur with 'normal' ubuntu?
My only problem now is that I have disc B with the unusable version. I'm assuming that I can't just reformat this as it has links to the MBR on the master disc?
I want to use FFmpeg to join large numbers of TIFFs produced by a video enhancing program, using Nvidia GPU acceleration. Any advice on this? It would be nice to find a ready to use version with the acceleration, but I assume that doesn't exist.
Sorry for lots of questions!
