Hey all,
Recently decided to scrap windows 10 since microsofts bluetooth is flakier than a leper colony and drops all the time. Since I've been using
Linux in various forms at work for the past 10 years, I figured why not do it at home as well.
Been running Ubuntu 18.04 from a USB for a week, and haven't had a single BT drop. So I sat down 6 hours ago to install it, and I haven't gotten anywhere.
Current set up.
Dell XPS 8920
Pre-installed windows 10
1tb HDD
1tb HDD
1 256gb SSD (windows installed)
The 256gb drive with windows installed does not show up in the file manager on ubuntu, whereas the other two drives works fine.
When I try to install Ubuntu, it says I don't have an OS installed. And when I choose "erase disk" the 256gb SSD does not show up
in the drop down. Neither does it show up in the list when I choose "do something else"
I've tried just about anything I can find online, in this forum and other.
- turned off hibernation
- turned off fast start up
- set everything I can find to never turn off (HDD etc.)
- turned off secure boot in BIOS
- both ubuntu and windows BIOS mode is UEFI as far as I can tell
Both of my other drives are being used for storage, and I would like to avoid installing ubuntu on one of them, also I have no idea how
to go about it without messing everything up.
At this point I'm about to flip my desk and pop downstairs to the apple store and buy a machine that "just works" ;)
Any help would be greatly appreciated!
