I'd like to get rid of this unnecesary password demand but I don't know quite how.
EDIT 1
I deferred taking the actions suggested last night. Then after another prolonged shut-down (a lot of whizzing on the backup HDD - I eventually just held the power button off till it shut down) it would not start up. It stalls the start-up process at some network process.
I suspect that a recent Ubuntu 20.04.5 update has something to do with this.
Looks like I have to reboot from a USB key and roll back to over a week ago.
Before doing a rollback (I fear losing all my Ubuntu configs, maybe > 50 of them now) I saw this thread:
https://linuxdicasesuporte.blogspot.com/2019/05/ubuntu-nao-inicia-apos-started-gnome.html?m=1
(Please use the Translate button on the top right)
This did not work unfortunately.
The #WaylandEnable=false line was already uncommented.
When I commented it, I got past the boot stall and onto the Ubuntu login screen. However after entering my password it did not bring me to my desktop environment for my user account: it just returned me to the Ubuntu login screen as if I'd never entered my password.
Using a USB boot key I tried restoring with Timeshift off the backup. But I could not "see into" the backup drive and when I launched Timeshift it immediately started a backup on it - a process I could only stop by killing the process and then removing Timeshift from the applications installed on the bootable USB key.
EDIT 2
Nothing for it but to reboot in recovery mode and do a Timeshift restore via CLI. This failed due to a segment error.
Luckily I had a SDD backup to 4 weeks ago and I achieved a restoration from this. No matter what I did I could not mount the HDD backup - there was always an operation pending. Googling this issue told me I probably had a damaged HDD - something I should have suspected after the earlier noisy whizzing at shut down.
With new confidence I applied the 20.04.5 updates to the present date and restarted. No issues.
So the moral is DON'T DEPEND ON A SINGLE BACKUP DRIVE !
There is also some wisdom in what this guy says about 3 backups on different media.
