Thank you all, especially Tea for One.
I gave up trying to create the EFI partition manually, just let Ubuntu install work on the whole SSD with no partitions and it created one for me so I'm now up...

Tried that Tea, I now have:-

nvme0n1p1 ext4 / 75GB
nvme0n1p2 ext4 [the rest of my SSD]

Then I choose Install now and get 'No EFI system partition was fouind'..........
Please go back and add...

Very nearly there Tea. Seems I just need to add an EFI Sytem Partition.

I have:-
nvme0n1p1 ext4 / 75GB
nvmeon1p2 ntfs [the rest of my SSD]

How would I set this up?

Thanks Tea,
My USB installer is in UEFI mode. I've opened Gparted, selected the unallocated 'partition' (nvme0n1), then I select Device, Create Partition Table, choose table type 'gpt', Apply but I...

Many, even new systems, need UEFI firmware update & SSD firmware update. Best to check you have latest firmware.
This is a new laptop which has no operating system so where would I start to find its...

Hi Tea,
This is the only computer I've bought in the last 10 years so I know little about UEFI & GPT. I just put the installation stick into a USB port and kept pressing F12 as it booted up. Could I...

Hi Guys,
I've been using Ubuntu since Gutsy Gibbon but always on older Windows PCs using dual boot. Just trying to install Ubuntu on a new laptop bought with no OS installed. I'm able to boot from...

Getting there CW.
I found out how to boot the Ubuntu installation disk in legacy mode then began the install. This time it spotted Win10 but in the Installation Type window it shows:
sda1. ntfs....

Thanks for the prompt reply CW. I’ll look into this further. How can I check what mode the Ubuntu media was booted and how would I change it?

Hi guys,
I have an 8 year old i5 desktop which dual booted with Win7 and Ubuntu 16.04 (on a suitably partitioned 1Tb hard disk), clearly both in need of an upgrade. I downloaded the Win10 upgrade...

I've just run gparted from an ubuntu install USB stick. There is a boot flag against /dev/sda1 which it shows as the NTFS Windows partition. Gparted doesn't show a 100Mb partition.

Ok, using F8 I got to the Advanced Boot Options screen which allowed me to select 'Safe mode with command prompt' but when selected the PC crashed.

By choosing the Repair Your computer option I...

Ok, working through oldfred's solution....

I used boot-repair which results in just ubuntu in the GRUB menu. - Ubuntu boots ok from here.
Next, booted from the Win7 DVD, went to the command...

Thanks for the replies guys.

Tried autodave's solution first.
Opened up the PC.....oops, here's a correction to my OP.
I originally had 2x2Gb modules, not 2x4Gb. The 4GB module I bought...

Hi,
One of the two memory modules failed, intermittently at first, in my PC. I Diagnosed and removed the module and all worked well with just the remaining 4GB module. Win 7 booted fine. I replaced...

In Excel there is a feature - Paste Special, Values. This appears to be missing from LibreOffice. Is the feature buried elsewhere, perhaps under a different name?

I'm simply trying to paste the...

For anyone coming across this I got an answer on a photographers forum. Using Windows File Manager you can add columns. One of the choices is camera make/model.

I have a desktop and a laptop both running 12.04. On the laptop I click icons once to launch an app but on the desktop I need to double click. Can I change this? Presumably the launcher's...

I had the same issue when I first used my M570 trackball. I found that swithching the ball on AFTER 12.04 has loaded cured it. It's been fine since.

I recently used Photorec to recover jpg's off a hard drive which lost it's partition info. The drive was a backup so I still have originals of my photos. My problem is my daughter copied her 60Gb of...

Apparently I'm not alone as others also have this issue. It appears I need to change the LightDM screen resolution to match my desktop (1680 x 1050). Any ideas?

Just a thought....if Ubuntu is...

Sorry guys, I've had to bump this.
Does anyone know where the login screen resolution is set?

Following a troublesome 12.04 installation from a LiveCD I had graphics issues at the login screen and at the desktop.

I resolved the workspace issue by bringing up the dash and typing Displays....

oldfred,

I just spotted your response but I've been called away so I'll look into this further tomorrow.

Thanks again.
