Hi,
Few days ago I received my Dell Precision 5520. It came with a pre-installed ubuntu 16.04. The weird thing is that when booting the first time, I can only login as a guest user by pressing enter key. I can't sudo or do anything useful.
The disk has 3 partitions:
/dev/sda1 (EFI partition type - FAT32 - 524MB)
/dev/sda2 (Basic Data type - FAT32 - 3.2GB)
/dev/sda3 (Linux Filesystem Ext4)
I guess the second partition holds the recovery image, isn't it?
I am tempted to reinstall ubuntu on the third partition, but feel like I would be missing some specific dell drivers that wouldn't be present from the general ubuntu 16.04 distro?
What should I do?
