- | I started with Linux in late 90's. Those were times when Ubuntu didn't exist yet, and the most popular distribution was Red Hat Linux. I was then curious about what Linux was, and how it worked. Although Windows had gained total desktop market share at that time, I felt something ' | + | ** |
+ | I have two root partitions on sda so that I can test a new version while maintaining an old one. Of course, I have the /home partition separate, and have swap and /tmp partitions on sdb. | ||
- | But I never got into Linux as much as I could. Many distributions appeared, and I tried many of them, but, from the beginning, my favorite was Ubuntu. Mainly because it was so user friendly. However, with almost all distributions | + | With the expiration of Lucid Lynx, I needed to upgrade, but I remain very unhappy with Unity, so I decided to try Linux Mint Maya. Maya is an LTS version based on Precise, and has an expiration date of April 2017. I chose the Cinnamon version, which runs Gnome 3. |
- | Just to clarify – I'm a Microsoft guy. I work with Microsoft products every day and I live from programming in .NET. I'm not planning to change this in the near future; however I’m an open-minded person, so I decided that I would like to improve my various programming skills and Ubuntu would be a great platform in order to achieve this goal. So I installed Ubuntu 13.04 on a virtual machine – because I don't like using my main operating system (which should be fast, and without any additions installed) for development tasks, and I'm happy with it. It works smoothly and fast without any significant issues. The evolution of virtualization software makes such decisions easier. Frequently, I have installed with dual- or multi-boot using custom partitioning, | + | Prior to the installation, I ran: |
- | Last week I had a pretty scary moment. I was doing maintenance tasks on moving files between internal and external drives, which I use as a kind of backup. Suddenly, the most important external drive – with the most of my important data – stopped working. It was spinning up at the power on, but Windows didn't manage to mount them into the operating system. I was pretty scared seeing this behavior, because I had already lost one drive in a similar way. There were two possibilities – either the disk was down, or the external enclosure was broken in some way. | + | dpkg --get-selections > |

- | I had to quickly find a way to retrieve files from the disk. They were important for me and I needed them fast. But the problem was that this external drive is an old ATA and I had no possibility of plugging it into my current PC. I had to find the reason why the disk wasn't mounting on my computer. Then, I thought that, instead | + | on my Lucid partition |

+ | Finally, I opened the list in one window and Synaptic in another, and manually set everything I wanted. It would be really nice if there were a get-selections command that only got the top level packages, i.e. with nothing depending on them, which could then be used to reload packages when you have done a fresh install | ||

+ | I like a bare desktop, and always set a black background. I was quickly able to set four workspaces. and saw them numbered 1 through 4 in my menu bar. Some of the tools I regularly use had been updated, which means they set their configuration after being launched. For those which then had two .conf files, I was quickly able to set the configuration choices | ||

- | Having prepared this computer with a working Ubuntu, I plugged my external drive and... it worked. All data was there without any broken partitions or corrupted files. Quick connect to Windows share, and I was able to copy all files into my working SATA internal hard drive. Thanks Ubuntu - you saved my money and my time, and restored my old computer to life. |
