Re: [ubuntu-studio-users] fix ubuntu studio install
Well it's turned into a bit of a mess but recoverable. Because the new (to me) laptop is about 5 years old and is legacy/UEFI switchable, I was advised that using legacy will cause issues so I decided to do a format/reinstall of both using UEFI. I didn't realise until I'd reinstalled Windows that because I'd upgraded to 10 from 7 my license key would no longer be valid (NOT cool MS!) so I'm stuck with the Home edition until I buy a Pro key. I've searched for ways around it, tried various methods, even spoke to MS customer service, but I'm stuck with it. I'm wary of installing US until I get Windows sorted but I'm sure it'll be fine eventually. All because I upgraded US! Thanks for trying though George, I do appreciate it 👍 On Sat, 23 Dec 2023 at 20:22, George Swan wrote: > Hey there Babsky I'm sorry Boot Repair didn't work make sure you have the > latest version it really makes a big difference.

Re: [ubuntu-studio-users] fix ubuntu studio install
Hey there Babsky I'm sorry Boot Repair didn't work make sure you have the latest version it really makes a big difference. For me if I was reinstalling I would just try reinstalling the Linux Ubuntu first then let it find the other operating system like Windows and it should also see your old Ubuntu installation as well. It should then set your boot up correctly with the multi-boot then. I would never re-install Windows because of something like this but you have to make sure its all gd first. Yo can also repair Windows as a last resort but reinstalling Ubuntu Studio should solve all those problems and leave you with the multi boot option for sure. Luckily you can install Ubuntu many times and that has usually worked for me. Linux first then check it all from Linux and then from Windows. Good luck Babsky I hope this works it should.

Re: [ubuntu-studio-users] fix ubuntu studio install
Thanks George, unfortunately it didn’t work for me. I had the same thought myself as I have also used Boot Repair successfully before. I burnt it onto a disk then booted from that disk. It all seemed to be going well until it suddenly said repair cancelled (can’t remember the actual wording). I tried a couple of times but no go. I think it’s going to have to be a complete reinstall of both Windows and Ubuntu Studio unfortunately, which I was trying to avoid but if I can’t fix US I have no other option. > On 19 Dec 2023, at 20:52, George Swan wrote: > > Hey there quick message, I used the Boot Repair Tool successfully for this > issue many times and it has always worked for me.

Re: [ubuntu-studio-users] fix ubuntu studio install
Hey there quick message, I used the Boot Repair Tool successfully for this issue many times and it has always worked for me. You have to run it from a CD or DVD I cant remember which and then choose Boot from disk when booting your laptop. The Boot repair tool doesn't always work for me when installed either but you have to boot from the Boot Repair tool on the CD/DVD disk. This has worked for me many times I love the boot repair tool it is the best for sure. Have a great day good luck and let us all know if that helps and donate to the Boot Repair tool if pos.

[ubuntu-studio-users] fix ubuntu studio install
I made the mistake of upgrading Ubuntu Studio on my dual boot. The first problem was no grub so I enabled OS prober and updated the grub but it still didn't work. Still no grub and boots straight into Ubuntu Studio. I can see Windows on the HD, but I just can't boot into it. I also can't do any updates or install anything (tried installing boot-repair). It gets so far then says something about too many errors and nothing is installed/updated. I've created a bootable USB but my laptop will only boot from the USB if in UEFI mode, but then, of course, it doesn't recognise either OS on the HD. The only blank discs I have are too small for Ubuntu Studio. I ordered some larger capacity discs but, long story short, I'm not getting them but I am getting a refund. I've tried starting US in recovery mode but I'm guessing it's not broken enough? I have the option of trying to repair the Windows MBR and possibly wiping the US partition but ideally I'd like to keep both.

The answer probably depends on the support contract from system76.

For me I do use a 7200 RPM drive in my laptop. I do use VMWare workstation for work and my computer usage tends to stress IO, so for me it was entirely worth it.

ubuntu studio install
when ubuntu studio is installed on a (system76 pangolin) ubuntu system (8.10), does it replace the existing applications? does it make any sense to partion the drive as ubuntu and ubuntu studio? does it make any sense to pay for ubuntu installation and support only to blow it all off by installing studio? does a faster, smaller 7200rpm vs a larger, slower 5400rpm drive make a significant difference for studio work? thanks for any perspective /:brad -- Ubuntu-Studio-users mailing list Ubuntu-Studio-users@lists.ubuntu.com Modify settings or unsubscribe at: https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-studio-users
