If one were to buy a new System76 Thelio Desktop workstation (or any one of the units from its computer line), can it ship with Ubuntu-MATE as its pre-installed OS, if the buyer were to request...
Just to note that I installed 20.04 on two separate external disks and both suffer from the same problem: upon shutdown they appear to close all running processes, but in both cases they leave the...
New SSD install of Ubuntu-mate 20.04 (UEFI/GPT) hangs on shutdown with this error message:
nouveau 0000.01.00.0: DRM: GPU lockup - switching to software fbcom
Shutdown hangs whether the SSD is...
So even if you're holding the power button in for six or seven seconds? I thought that was a safe way to shut down. I've seen the REISUB before, I'll try that.
Meanwhile I want to figure out the...
You might want to mark this thread as "solved." You can do that from the thread tools menu.
Interesting update here, some good news with this drive, for a change: I installed the 20.04 UEFI/GPT disk internally with no other disk connected except the storage (MBR) disk that doesn't boot.
...
What would you do with an SSD that presents the same gdisk error message
(
Caution: invalid backup GPT header, but valid main header; regenerating
backup header from main header.
Warning!...
The other SanDisk Ultra II that I have is internal and it doesn't boot. It's used for storage only. It's MBR. There are no problems with it.
I do have a 2nd external SanDisk Ultra II that I've...
Still getting this from gdisk (and the similar warning from Gparted) every time I boot to my external SSD /dev/sdc that I've installed 20.04 on:
GPT fdisk (gdisk) version 1.0.5 ...
When I boot to a new UEFI/GPT install of Ubuntu-MATE 20.04 on an external SSD, I get a warning when I open either gdisk or Gparted.
gdisk says "Caution: invalid backup GPT header, but valid main...
Finally I got a bootable UEFI/GPT Ubuntu-MATE 20.04 installed on a removable drive.
After installing the iso onto a target SSD (carefully UN-checking the option to load third-party apps, because...
I'm taking a step back before I continue my UEFI/GPT setup to learn some fundamentals, starting with this, which is recommended for anyone with limited understanding (as mine is) about how it works....
Here is an info report with my two internal drives unplugged.
(Those internal drives are a BIOS 18.04 and a non-OS, non-booting SSD just for data storage. Those internal drives are what you saw...
This was run from the installer: https://paste.ubuntu.com/p/p8hDhtQytR/
Hold on, I'll do this from the installer.
In light of this knowledge I've just created /EFI/Boot/ folders in my external drive. (permissions -r--r--r-- on both). Then I copied into that /EFI/Boot/ folder these 3 files from my live-installer...
Remember that the only way you can install third-party software during the install process is by downloading it. You can't do that if you have no internet connectivity. It's downloaded...
I've had partial limited success with my install.
It's true I don't need to first boot rEFInd to boot the installer in EFI mode. My installer
wasn't booting in EFI mode because in the F10 boot...
Re: Must a 20.04 live-boot installer be UEFI/GPT to create a UEFI/GPT SSD install?
The way I'm doing that work-around is by physically unplugging my non-target (internal) drives.
But there are other mysteries preventing me from doing a UEFI-GPT install.
Again, I am not...
Thanks for the responses. I'll report back once I've performed a UEFI install (or install attempt).
Thanks. See what I just now added to the end of my post directly above. I have the SSD (that I want to install to) formatted that way now, but I need to make sure the install will go correctly. ...
Correct. I'm using an 8 GB USB drive. I've been led to believe that using a smaller-capacity USB drive for this install might not provide enough space for creating a functioning live-boot drive, at...
So far what I've done is, I've taken another (8 GB) USB flash drive (different than the one I was using in my first post), and created a bootable Ubuntu UEFI (I hope UEFI) USB drive, according to...
Must a 20.04 live-boot installer be UEFI/GPT to create a UEFI/GPT SSD install?
I'm trying to create a UEFI/GPT live-boot USB drive to install 20.04 in UEFI/GPT mode.
I have a USB drive (with no .iso on it) that is formatted thusly:
Its partition table is GPT.
It...
If that's the case, shouldn't uname -a be telling me that I'm using 5.4.0.48.52~18.04.42 instead of 5.4.0-48.52~18.04.1 ??
(See my previous post where the installed kernel images and headers are...
