Sorry about the dup link. the other link is https://askubuntu.com/questions/1278032/fixing-bad-sectors-of-a-hard-drive and the accepted answer has the recommended non-destructive command to add bad...
See https://askubuntu.com/questions/857936/how-to-read-the-current-bad-blocks-list-for-the-disk Check the sudo smartctl -a /dev/sdb for reallocated sectors. I suppose you could remake the...
Use sudo on those commands needing permissions: e.g. sudo smartctl -a /dev/sdb
Most system changes require root permission which is available through sudo for the default user created at...
Some notes I was putting together to get to get the boot order and settings.
Machine Specific Problems Getting into UEFI Settings and the UEFI boot Menu
This section has nothing to do with...
The changes to "revert" are to delete the Ubuntu partition and expand the windows partition, delete the EFI's partition EFI/ubuntu directory, and reset the EFI/Boot/bootx64.efi to the windows boot...
The graphics-drivers PPA offers the 545 and 550 drivers, but those still have problems on Ubuntu 24.04. I am running the 545 driver on 22.04 and the 535 driver on 24.04 until the 550 hits the normal...
The normal repositories for Ubuntu 22.04 have the 545 and 550 drivers, but the standard installation methods (ubuntu-drivers or Software&Updates/AdditionalDrivers) do not show them as candidates. ...
Use sudo dmesg to read those messages. See if the output of df includes the device automamtically mounted.
Did you hashcheck the downloaded ISO? Nvidia might cause problems on the hardware, but don't see how the VM would be affected.
Looks like launchpad bug https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/ubuntu-drivers-common/+bug/2037004 Do add yourself to the "Does this affect me" list in the upper left corner (click on icon next...
Depends upon your workload and if you want to be able to hibernate. Check if you use any swap with the free command in a terminal when your workload is heavy. Probably, no swap will be in use....
The 23.10 installer will create an EFI partition automatically. What it creates is too big (1GB) IMHO. 24.04 looks like it does the same. On the bright side, it will use this partition, instead of...
Definitely improvements can be made when holding packages back (or phasing). A group of packages that need to be together may be separated, and break things. I have only seen this on a group of...
I got that screen too after a nobel (24.04) VM update/upgrade. The upgrade was for hundreds of packages, but half were being held back. The next day, a boot of the VM showed the unhappy face. I...
I was thinking of a distribution upgrade (e.g. 22.04 to 24.04), where I like to keep the old (running) system around until I get all the new system programs working. I have a lot of old code, which...
I like to have partitions for (at least) two root partitions, and a large data partition (and any ESP of course). Two root ps to allow running an upgrade in parallel while working out any kinks. ...
Which Nvidia hardware? Laptop? Did you switch to the 6.5 kernel on this upgrade? Some old Nvidia cards may have trouble with the 6.5 kernel. Post the output of xrandr --listproviders (when running...
I see no free space on your 1.8 TB disk. Maybe the message is that there is not enough space to make any partition, be it 100GB or 40Gb. Did you make the 931.5GB partition to install Ubuntu? If...
What kind of external disk -- USB, eSATA, something else? What's on the external disk now, a partition table (what kind gpt, MSDOS), partitions/empty space? If any partitions, what filesystem is on...
The Ubiquity installer used on Ubuntu 22.04 has the launchpad bug 1396379, grub put on wrong disk, but xubuntu uses another installer (Calamares?) I think. Anyway, your turn off the other disks...
I don't know about the source forge download, but have you just tried the browser local url localhost:631 and select install new printer? Should find what printer is attached, and give you choices...
Probably will work, but 24.04 is still under heavy development, so might have some leftover cruft if you update early. 24.04 is using the 6.8 kernel, so may be all sorts of additional issues. If...
What kernel versions do the working installs have? 23.10 uses kernel 6.5. After the first update/upgrade, the 22.04 you installed should definitely have a 6.5 kernel as the default boot too -- does...
Launchpad Bug 1396379 - Grub installs to wrong disk, is a "feature" of the ubiquity installer used in Ubuntu 22.04. A different installer is used for 23.10, and actually installs grub to the disk...
Recently having gone through a new printer setup (Cannon lbp 6030), I tried the various protocols offered by CUPS (off port 631), but could only get LPD to work. Probably some matching options...
