Thanks for informing me of the bug issue. Does 23.10 fix the bug I wonder ? Yes, I will use GPT for sure and create the ESP as the first partition. Re waiting a few days, as "sudodus" pointed out at...
Thanks @sudodus, I tried that command on the Dell/Kubuntu
$ test -d /sys/firmware/efi && echo efi || echo bios
Okay, a smooth ride I will take. :)
I noticed with the external SSD it was auto mounted when I attached it. When I get it all setup, I will have it permanently attached to a Thunderbolt port on the Lenovo/Win10 laptop. Boot up into...
Thank you, I wish there was a "thumbs up" to give your reply. So, now after reading your post, I feel it is fine to now format the SSD , use mkusb to do a Kubuntu boot, and then install Kubuntu on...
Thanks @sudodus
Great, thanks. I can do all that from the Dell/Kubuntu.
I hadn't given it much thought, as yet. But now realising, as I have no wish to modify BIOS in either the Dell or...
I have been running that periodically. It always reports okay. I haven't run the long test as the HDD is nearly 10 years old, and assuming it is starting to fail, I will avoid that type of...
@sudodus, thanks for your reply.
Ok, so I do the gparted first, then mkusb to put Kubuntu OS on it. I use EXT4 mostly, the SSD is formatted to msdos I think, so it definitely needs formatting...
Can I use mkusb to format an external 1Tb SSD and then make it a Kubuntu boot disk ? I have used mkusb to do this to a usb, and in essence the SSD, being connected by a usb cable is nearly the same...
Someone having the same problems, same Kubutu version - https://discuss.kde.org/t/ata-revalidation-failures-and-comreset-errno-5-and-32/14319
Booting is stopping at the BIOS prompt. When I was able to go into BIOS, the boot order showed 2 entries for Ubuntu ?
Finally it booted and got a "revalidation failed" message.

Thanks, found some info on the keyboard layout (...
That probably xplains why I have had serious graphic card problems lately - https://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=2493512
Beyond Compare can do this, I've used it for years. The download is at https://www.scootersoftware.com/download/ , from memory it's a 30 day usage for the trial/free.
The graphics card on a laptop has been giving errors and lately just see a blank screen, but it does work sometimes. I have been using an external monitor connected to the HDMI port, it is setup...

After watching a few Youtube videos on how to connect a usb in wsl, I used the article at https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/wsl/connect-usb , and...
@sudodus , thanks for your help.
Yes, and the solution may only fit my needs of course. The best solution for all who wish to mount a EXT4 formatted usb on Windows would be for the WSL team to...
Hmm, so a few hours still trying to get wsl to mount the usb, and then noticed it was a "feature request" on the wsl issues on https://github.com/microsoft/WSL.
If I use NTFS or MS-DOS/VFAT etc...
@sudodus - The saga continues. Formatting the usb may make Win10 'happy', but for any file copying on Kubuntu, there are many files being skipped
So now I will have to reformat to EXT4 for...
@sudodus - you are welcome :)
I tried many methods from articles and still couldn't get it to mount the EXT4 usb. I had an appointment and had to rush, so just threw all the commands in a file. So the following are all bits and...
@sudodus - thanks. The copy to the usb was SO much faster when I formatted it to EXT4. Previously it was MSDOS, incredibly slow. As long as Windows 10 can read the (ext4) formatted usb contents.

@sudodus , thanks very much for your reply, much appreciated. I forgot to mention that I was wanting to wipe the drive only. I did that with mkusb, then of course I couldn't mount it. So I had to...
I just purchased a 128 Gb Sandisk USB 3.0 flash drive. Loaded it and Dolphin tells me it is only 114.6 Gb. The same issue is reported at...
Well, you did all the work. :D
Oh yes, you are correct, thanks.
