| thomax | Trying to put linux into a windows computer. Windows blocks or corrupts everything I try. I have followed ALL instructions, to the letter, and no results. I have loaded WSL, but my input says it's not activated, but THEY do not tell how to activate it. I have two new CD's from Ubuntu store, but they won't activate either. Nothing I have tried, even | 02:15 |
|---|---|---|
| thomax | on the windows computer will take me to the start page. If I could get there, I can upgrade, install, and get rid of windows. Any help would HELP... Thanx | 02:15 |
| Eickmeyer | Having trouble understanding where that's even remotely on-topic. | 02:42 |
| arraybolt3 | Umm... got a slight issue here (and yes this is something I can fix myself but wanted to mention here in case it's worth a bug report). I just plugged an SSD with a Debian 11 BIOS installation on it into an EFI machine, and am attempting to install Ubuntu Studio Jammy on top of it. I'm at the Partitions screen, and I get three options - Install | 19:15 |
| arraybolt3 | alongside, Replace a partition, and Manual partitioning. For some reason I thought there should be an "Erase disk" option here too. | 19:15 |
| arraybolt3 | The SSD is a 1 TB MBR drive currently, with a large primary partition containing Debian at the start, and a small logical partition with swap at the end. | 19:16 |
| arraybolt3 | Bug report worthy, or shall I just say "hmph, weird" and move on? | 19:16 |
| arraybolt3 | btw this is the daily Jammy image, not the usual 22.04.3 image. | 19:16 |
| arraybolt3 | (since I'm doing an SRU verification test) | 19:17 |
| arraybolt3 | Eickmeyer: ^ | 19:17 |
| arraybolt3 | also my sha256sum on the ISO is good and Etcher claims that the data saved to the drive was able to be accurately verified. | 19:23 |
| arraybolt3 | Just went ahead and manual partitioned my way through. | 19:27 |
| Eickmeyer | arraybolt3: Sorry, I've been out sick today. | 20:33 |
| Eickmeyer | "hrumph, weird" sounds about right though. No clue what would've changed since .3 | 20:34 |
