In a corporate environment, you should quit your job - I mean, you will likely have to redo this after ANY f'in reboot.

Memtest boot disk
It should be on red-on-black flash drive. Or, get a fresh download of USB zip, it includes a Windows exe to create the boot. Or use the ISO.
Ubuntu upgrade / reinstall notes
Create and boot from Ubuntu USB
There should always be a boot USB for this in my set, but it needs recreation on new Ubuntu versions...
  1. Download the latest 64-bit Ubuntu desktop iso
  2. Format a USB drive as FAT (NOT exFAT or NTFS)
  3. Burn the iso to the USB, providing a GB of space (we want to add the nvidia driver once booted)
sudo usb-creator-gtk
  1. Boot with it
  2. On startup, select the USB EFI boot option in refind, select "Try Ubuntu", (on MBPro, hit e and add [ nouveau.noaccel=1] to grub line), hit F10 to start
  3. Once it is running, start System Settings, select Software, enable proprietary drivers
  4. Install, checking the [download as you go] and [install 3rd party stuff] boxes.
Ubuntu set up networking
Install NetworkManager, as the wpagui UI sucks
  • sudo apt-get install network-manager-gnome
  • YOU MUST remove interfaces from /etc/network/interfaces so wpa gives them up to nm-applet
  • add nm-applet to startup if needed - i don't think it is needed as it seems to start up automatically now - try rebooting first
