hollow swallow Apr 11, 2023, 9:49 AM

#

perfect!

woeful swan Apr 11, 2023, 9:50 AM

#

Right, assuming it works correctly (which it should), you just need to wait until the process is complete, then you'll be able to proceed to the install

hollow swallow Apr 11, 2023, 9:50 AM

#

yep once the process is done switch off PC and boot from the USB

Standard warning applies: make sure any data you need on your computer is backed up elsewhere before installing a new OS

hollow swallow Apr 11, 2023, 9:50 AM

#

hollow swallow Apr 11, 2023, 9:51 AM

#

then just be careful how you partition etc

woeful swan Apr 11, 2023, 9:51 AM

#

I personally solve this problem by not having any important data Trollface

hollow swallow Apr 11, 2023, 9:51 AM

woeful swan I personally solve this problem by not *having* any important data <:Trollface:1...

acoustic trout Apr 11, 2023, 9:51 AM

woeful swan I personally solve this problem by not *having* any important data <:Trollface:1...

woeful swan Apr 11, 2023, 9:52 AM

#

Wait, is your other drive mounted to /home?

#

Or just some other path like /data or something?

hollow swallow Apr 11, 2023, 9:54 AM

#

woeful swan I personally solve this problem by not *having* any important data <:Trollface:1...

I actually store my bitcoin wallet data inside a locked container inside my base inside a random No Man's Sky galaxy in a radom star system on a random planet in a radnom cave

#

no one gonna find it

acoustic trout Apr 11, 2023, 10:01 AM

#

@woeful swan @hollow swallow sorry I ran out of batterys for my keyboard

#

just had quick ran to shop and bought new batteryes

acoustic trout Apr 11, 2023, 10:02 AM

#

woeful swan Wait, is your other drive mounted to /home?

how to check this?

#

its done bootable

#

can I boot now

woeful swan Apr 11, 2023, 10:04 AM

#

acoustic trout how to check this?

Open a terminal in your second drive, type pwd (it displays your current directory)

#

Or just look at the file path in your file manager if it displays it

acoustic trout Apr 11, 2023, 10:06 AM

#

#

it says home/omkar

#

should I boot now ?

woeful swan Apr 11, 2023, 10:06 AM

#

That's after opening the terminal inside the second drive, right?

acoustic trout Apr 11, 2023, 10:07 AM

#

my second drive is my os drive

#

and 1st one is my data drive

woeful swan Apr 11, 2023, 10:07 AM

#

Right, I meant the one which holds your data

acoustic trout Apr 11, 2023, 10:07 AM

#

1st one

#

and 2nd one is for os

woeful swan Apr 11, 2023, 10:09 AM

#

actually better yet, type cat /etc/fstab in a terminal and send the output here (this file contains the entries for the drives which are mounted automatically at boot)

acoustic trout Apr 11, 2023, 10:09 AM

#

i have this drives

#

1tb one is for data and 111 gb is ssd for boot drive

#

i hope this makes you clear

#

woeful swan Apr 11, 2023, 10:10 AM

#

remove the tilde

acoustic trout Apr 11, 2023, 10:11 AM

#

means

#

ok

woeful swan Apr 11, 2023, 10:11 AM

#

that character: ~

acoustic trout Apr 11, 2023, 10:11 AM

#

tilder

#

?

woeful swan Apr 11, 2023, 10:11 AM

#

you typed cat /etc/fstab~ instead of cat /etc/fstab

acoustic trout Apr 11, 2023, 10:11 AM

#

#

here you go

woeful swan Apr 11, 2023, 10:12 AM

#

Wait, your data drive is not in the fstab? thonkang

acoustic trout Apr 11, 2023, 10:13 AM

#

umm should I remove it physically

#

for booting

woeful swan Apr 11, 2023, 10:13 AM

#

Oh, it's an external drive?

acoustic trout Apr 11, 2023, 10:13 AM

#

so wont be a problem

acoustic trout Apr 11, 2023, 10:13 AM

#

woeful swan Oh, it's an external drive?

no internal but I can remove it

#

it will take 1 min only

woeful swan Apr 11, 2023, 10:14 AM

#

You can, just to be safe

acoustic trout Apr 11, 2023, 10:14 AM

#

yes

#

and should I directly boot right?

#

to usb for installation

woeful swan Apr 11, 2023, 10:14 AM

#

but yeah if it's not in the fstab I assume it's not mounted in /home so the concern I had doesn't apply

#

You may proceed to boot on your USB drive to install

acoustic trout Apr 11, 2023, 10:15 AM

#

ok so i'll not remove it

#

i'll chat you from phone now

#

boot ing pc now

#

It's booting now

woeful swan Apr 11, 2023, 10:19 AM

#

Linux Mint has a GUI installer, so the install process should be self-explanatory. Just triple check that when it asks you where you want to install the system, that you choose the correct drive

acoustic trout Apr 11, 2023, 10:19 AM

#

Yes nro

#

Bro

#

Hi

#

What partition values to pit

#

Im doing Maual partitions

#

@woeful swan

woeful swan Apr 11, 2023, 10:26 AM

#

depends on your needs, but you can probably just reuse the same partition scheme as you already have with a fat32 partition for your EFI system partition, and an ext4 partition on your root for the rest of the drive

#

Also, make sure the bootloader is on the 120gb drive

acoustic trout Apr 11, 2023, 10:29 AM

#

Yess

#

How much should be swap

#

I have 8 gb ram

#

Should I put 16 gb for swap then

woeful swan Apr 11, 2023, 10:34 AM

#

acoustic trout Should I put 16 gb for swap then

If you wish, though Linux Mint will default to creating a swap file if you don't put a swap partition, so this is not really a concern

acoustic trout Apr 11, 2023, 10:35 AM

#

Ok

#

I done like this

#

#

For / i kept it so much cause I have lots of apps to instal

woeful swan Apr 11, 2023, 10:36 AM

#

this should work fine

acoustic trout Apr 11, 2023, 10:45 AM

#

Hi

#

I'm in now

#

Thanks alot bro

#

One more thing about downloading packages guide me

#

Which package manager to use , from where to download ,

#

And more

woeful swan Apr 11, 2023, 10:46 AM

#

Linux Mint is based on Ubuntu, so you'll want to use apt to get your packages.

acoustic trout Apr 11, 2023, 10:47 AM

#

Ok

#

Should I directly use the store which came with it

woeful swan Apr 11, 2023, 10:52 AM

#

You can, though do note that mintinstall will let you install flatpaks as well as packages from apt

acoustic trout Apr 11, 2023, 10:54 AM

#

Ooh I see

woeful swan Apr 11, 2023, 10:54 AM

#

Also, remember to use the update manager (or apt if you want to use the terminal for that) to get your system updated

acoustic trout Apr 11, 2023, 10:55 AM

#

Ok got ut

#

It

#

Mini is very stable I would say

#

While downloading packages system doesn't get hang

woeful swan Apr 11, 2023, 10:56 AM

#

if you want to use the terminal, you'll want to use the apt update (update package information) and apt upgrade (apply all available package updates) commands

acoustic trout Apr 11, 2023, 10:56 AM

#

Ok

#

Got it bro

#

I'm downloading softwares which I use daily from the store

#

Then I'll update and upgrade

#

is there way to install the app which i have download from official site

#

like i have downloaded node js

#

and I have to install it

#

I want to install this

#

woeful swan Apr 11, 2023, 11:17 AM

#

acoustic trout I want to install this

Does it need to be this specific version, or is whatever the latest is fine?

acoustic trout Apr 11, 2023, 11:17 AM

#

this version only

#

the one i have downloaded

woeful swan Apr 11, 2023, 11:23 AM

#

acoustic trout the one i have downloaded

Looks like you'll want to follow these instructions: https://github.com/nodejs/help/wiki/Installation

GitHub

Installation

:sparkles: Need help with Node.js? File an Issue here. :rocket: - nodejs/help

#

Although I would recommend installing it via your package manager instead. The version of nodejs you have downloaded is the current LTS so I assume that's what you'll want. The NodeSource repo has a script to set it up for your system:

curl -fsSL https://deb.nodesource.com/setup_lts.x | sudo -E bash - &&\
sudo apt-get install -y nodejs

#

First line downloads and executes the script that will set the nodejs LTS repository, second line installs the package. You can (and should) check what the script actually does by opening the URL in the first line (or here, it's the same script: https://github.com/nodesource/distributions/blob/master/deb/setup_lts.x)
