  • Ubuntu 20.04 installation on a flash drive for dual boot.
    Dell SATA RAID firmware Linux AHCI
    During installation I got "Turn off RST" message.
    The problem was the SATA operation in the bios settings - Windows uses Raid on, Linux uses AHCI.
    Luckily we can run Windows while using AHCI!

    Perfect guide.
    I carried this out on my Laptop which is an Acer (with Windows 10 Home pre-installed). I installed Ubuntu to disk (turning off RST in Bios - I had to press Ctrl+S in Bios for the option to switch to AHCI, and back again to RST, and then back again to AHCI).
    Great video - follow the instructions.

    Hi, I'm a new subscriber. so glad I found this channel, thank you for the good work.

      About the order you do things, it doesn't really matter, as long as the first time you start Windows after switching over to AHCI, you'll be in safe boot mode, so your way of thinking makes absolute sense.

    2. Will there be any perfomance drop?
    3. RAID is basically used for multiple drives then why RAID was already ON by default on BIOS.

    Thanks for the great and clear tutorial!
    I went through every single step the same way (except I installed Ubuntu on my internal hard drive on its own partition instead of a USB stick). Windows runs fine in AHCI mode and Ubuntu also booted the first time just like in your video. However, since the second attempt to boot Ubuntu from the GRUB menu, I get the following error message:
    ucsi_acpi USBC000:00: unkown error 0
    ucsi_acpi USBC000:00: UCSI_GET_PODS failed (-5)
    ucsi_acpi USBC000:00: con3: failed to register alternate modes
    ucsi_acpi USBC000:00: PPM init failed (-110)
    Then the laptop gets hung up and has to be rebooted.
    Only under "advanced options for Ubuntu" and then "Ubuntu, with Linux 5.8.0-53-generic (recovery mode)" lets me start Ubuntu from the GRUB menu then.
    Do you happen to know how to fix this error? My laptop (XPS 15 9500) is brand new so apart from system updates nothing has been changed to the initial state until setting up Ubuntu.

    • @absprog
      @absprog  3 роки тому +3

      I never saw this error… one thing I would try though, is, once you log into ubuntu, make sure you’re up to date (sudo apt update) then try running:
      sudo update-grub
      Don’t know if it will solve it but definitely worth a shot.

      I don't think it's needed or will make any difference. In any case you override everything on this flash drive and create new partitions on it with their own file systems. As long as the installer sees the disk you want to use as destination, you should be OK.

      I used an external flash drive for the Ubuntu installation in this video, but if you want to install it on the internal disk alongside Windows then yes, you will have to free up some disk space. You don’t actually have to create the new partition though, just make sure there is free space. The Linux installer can use this space to create the new partition

    I installed ubuntu on 160 GB of SDD. I also have a 1TB HDD in my laptop. However, I am not able to access that 1TB from ubuntu. This 1TB is accessible from Windows. Any guidance? Will I need to re-partition and reinstall ubuntu?

      1. Where is Windows installed? On the 1 TB HDD?
      2. Which file system is on the HDD?
      3. Run “lsblk” on the terminal. What’s the output?

      I don't wanna mess up my system
      Here's the course of action that I think
      1. Change boot order to make windows at top
      2. Go to disk management in windows and format the ubuntu partition
      3. Merge that unallocated space with my other drive
      Is this the right way or do I need to do something else?

      You need to free up some space on your hard drive, then use the free space to install Linux. Take a look here:

      The USB drive not showing up has nothing to do with the SATA configuration.

    • @absprog

      The installation media is only going to be used when installing. If you installed Linux itself on a usb flash drive, then yes, you’re going to need it whenever you want to use Linux.
      On the other hand, If you installed on your internal SSD, you won’t need a second flash drive.
      As for the size - at least 8 GB for the installation media, at least 64GB for Linux installation.
      You can definitely use an SD card, it will do the job just as well.

    • @absprog
      @absprog  3 роки тому +2

      Yes, I ran into it before. Some computers come with Bitlocker installed and activated by default. What I suggest doing is deactivating it. To do that, you'll have to turn secure boot back on, log into windows then look for "bitlocker" in Windows start menu. From there you can turn its encryption off, and everything should be okay from there.
      By the way, you might not even have a choice if you intend to install Linux and Windows on the same disk. I remember vaguely that I had a Linux installation failing to install on a disk that contained a copy of Windows with Bitlocker. But it was quite long ago, and I don't remember if it was Ubuntu...
