New question #78411 on Ubuntu:
https://answers.edge.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+question/78411

I'm fed up with Ubuntu being started by default by GRUB. I need to edit it, and tried to install a couple of packages. Failure!
I get told that the error is in dpkg(?) and some instructions. I try this, but I think that Ubuntu made itself too small a partition. (A bit vague because my keyboard was also altered, and sometimes gave the wrong characters, so I am typing from memory in the safety (well, familiarity) of windows.)
I think Ubuntu needs a bigger partition (at present only 2.35GB was allocated by the default install). How do I do this without a properly working Ubuntu, insufficient knowledge to edit GRUB, and a dread of having to reinstall Windows when I trash the HDD!
