LUKS has had its day. It served it's purpose, and that was to provide encryption at a time when there were no good encryption methods available. But VeryCrypt is MUCH better now. It lacks the ability...

Because the installation is encrypted. The Ubuntu installer can resize an existing installation, as long as it is not encrypted.The installer can't shrink an encrypted partition because it can't...

I have a laptop with Ubuntu installed on it encrypted with LUKS. It is a sizeable SSD drive (about 500GB) with lots of free space. I would like to install Windows on it and dual-boot, but I do NOT...

I have been having problems with some snap packages. For example, I had various problems with MakeMKV until I uninstalled the snap package and compiled it. I would like uninstall ffmpeg and all of...

I have a Lenovo Flex 5 1570 80XB. I was wondering if anyone has this particular laptop, and could tell me exactly how to get the touchscreen working?

I have an SVG file that I would like to print out across several sheets of paper, with a slight overlap. What I need is something pretty much exactly like PosteRazor, but with SVG files, which...

This is a bug that has been in Ubuntu as long as it has supported full-disk encryption with LUKS. Basically, the caps lock LED does not work. The caps lock key works, but the LED on the keyboard...

A Raspberry Pi can boot from an SD card, so why not a Mac Mini? Actually, it CAN. I successfully installed Catalina on an SD card and booted from the SD card. (Not the Catalina installer, the...

Perhaps. I wonder what percentage of Ubuntu installs are installed with Ubuntu as the only OS? I really have no idea, but I am guessing that a high percentage of Ubuntu installs on existing PCs are...

My apologies if I am posting this to the wrong forum.

I am wondering why the Ubuntu installer can't support installing Ubuntu alongside another OS (such as Windows) and encrypting the Ubuntu...

All of this has been an adventure down a rabbit hole. My system is a Dell Precision T5500, which is called a "mini server". I thought a "mini server" would have a real hardware RAID, but turns out...

Hardware RAID. I set up the RAID volume using the utility built-into the BIOS.

I grabbed an ISO for Ubuntu server 19.04 live, and put it on a flash drive. When I booted it, the installer asked if I wanted to upgrade to version 19.06 of the installer, so I went ahead and let it...

Ubuntu Server is a total no-go. The installer in Ubuntu Server did not see my RAID volume, it just detected the two individual drives. (Which is odd, you'd think a server OS would have support for...

Thanks for the reply. My desktop system is BIOS, which is likely the reason I am having problems. I am familiar enough with UEFI, from installing Ubuntu on a couple of new laptops. If my desktop was...

My system consists of a Dell Precision T5500 with 2 Xeon processors, 24GB of RAM, and an Nvidia Geforce 760 graphics card. I recently decided to replace my hard drive with 2 identical 512GB SSD...

I just accidentally formatted the /boot partition on a system set up with LUKS. Since it uses LUKS, if I log out, I will not be able to go the "live CD" route to reinstall or recover the /boot...

I wish people would READ MY MESSAGE.

If I do that, the system CRASHES AND BURNS during the boot process.

If I leave the old /usr directory, with its contents, in place and mount over it (you...

I installed Ubuntu 18.10 on a Surface Pro with a 64GB SSD. It was working beautifully, so I decided to tweak it a bit. I have a 128GB high-speed SD card, and I would like to use the SD card to get...

There is a change that I would like to see done to the Ubuntu installer. I find it totally annoying that when I install Ubuntu on my 2 TERABYTE hard drive, the installer only allocates a measly 100...
