Anyways... I am now on a live install. I'm not sure what I should be looking for? All I know is that I've had hardware issues lingering from before but that didn't keep me from reaching the login screen. I updated my laptop, and then firefox had some error... and then I couldn't get into libreoffice so I restarted the machine. Which turned out to be the worst thing I could have done because I couldn't log back in... ;-; I don't recall what was installed that fucked everything up. Where should I look for it?
