I don’t have a bunch of USB drives lying around, and reflashing the same drive with my laptop was a pain in the ass.
Ventoy vhdx upgrade#
Though my home and my boot partitions are separate, I still took the time to image both with Clonezilla to a backup removable drive.Īnd a good thing too, as I got careless and managed to destroy both partitions during the upgrade attempt, even though they are on separate physical drives!įortunately, the full disk image backup worked like a charm, and I did not loose anything other than a few hours of my life.įirst, I needed a bootable USB stick with Clonezilla, then one with latest version of Ubuntu, then Clonezilla again, then one with older version of Ubuntu to try again (because I suspected the installation failed because my system does not support UEFI).
Ventoy vhdx install#
So I tried to run dist-upgrade only to find out that all the messing around with repositories and packages I did over the years messed up my setup so much, it can no longer upgrade.Īfter trying to solve the issue for a few days with no success, I decided the simplest way forward was to just install a newer version over the old one. Plus, even though this is an LTS version, it will be nearing its end of life soon…
Ventoy vhdx software#
(And no, I don’t want to switch to KDE, thank you.)īut now the time has come where I can’t put it off any longer:Īrduino Studio 2.0 requires newer glibc, many of the Python scripts I write use 3.9 features, and some free software projects I really want to build require higher versions of cmake than that wich comes with my current distribution.
Ventoy vhdx update#
One of the major reasons I am running a 5 year old version of Ubuntu despite their regular release schedule is the rant above – I did not want to update many of the GNOME components Ubuntu relies on to their newer, more decrepit versions. It is almost like the GNOME project intentionally tries to sabotage it self by becoming more and more useless! My current predicament:Įven as I type this post my home desktop computer still runs Ubuntu 16.04. Sure, it boots, but it is unusable for anything else, even flashing a different image, unless I clean it up with GParted first. One thing I hate the most about GNOME project is the fact that starting with version 3, they been systematically destroying their utility apps.Ĭalculator button layout has become a ridiculous mess, setting Alt + Shift to switch keyboard layout requires a 3 rd party tweak tool, and my biggest gripe: the “startup disk creator” has been completely boarked!īack in 2007 I was able to use GNOME 2’s built in tool to create a persistent live USB stick for a friend in need with just a couple of clicks, while simultaneously preserving the files he already had on that USB drive!įast forward to 2021 and all I get is a thin GUI wrapper for dd command, which not only does not allow creating a persistent installation, but also converts any USB drive in to a 2GB DVD messing up partitioning and even sector size!
