Yeah, that is the conclusion I've come to as well.

Thanks,

How did you "upgrade" your computer?  In-place upgrading from C7 to C8 isn't
something that you're supposed to do.  The best solution is/was/would have
been to backup your data, then reformat your system with the new OS and
restore your data.

Since kernel version 3.10 is a C7 kernel, at the least you're still running
a C7 kernel on what might otherwise be (part of?) a C8 installation, and who
knows what else behind the scenes.  You've apparently got something going
here that's neither fish nor fowl; it's isn't exactly C7 and it's not really
C8 either.

Since you don't really know what's broken here, you'll find yourself
spending an awful lot of time chasing gremlins.  At this point, my
suggestion would be take the recommended action.  Backup your data, then
reformat your system with the new OS and restore your data.
