I have a broken 18.04 installation. Desktops either will not load, or if they do I don't have permissions to run programs like synaptic.
So I used the guide at
https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Partitioning/Home/Moving
to create a new partition on my SSD for home.
I created 18.04 startup USB disk using Startup disk creator. I boot off that and try installing 18.04 beside existing 18.04 installation.
#1 Should I create a separate partition to hold the second Ubuntu installation?
#2 Why does installation complain no boot disc when I point it to:
/sdb2
