I got so many problems that idk what to to rn
Im using HDD with 5400 RPM
First is it so laggy on start up
On first start up i could open firefox yet very lag, i thought it is driver not updated and then i tried to upgrade yet that packagekit failed, then i tried to reinstall packagekit yet problem i already show
On second start up i was forced to manual fsck
On third start up it completely broken
also everytimes i shutdown or restart i got so many messages that i already show with video
opaque hemlock
why packagekit? what would possess you to do such a thing? and LOOK WHAT IT SAID IT WILL REMOVE! 💀
Jesus.
do inxi -F and show clear pic plz
maximize terminal first. show all top to bottom of that result
opaque hemlock
why packagekit? what would possess you to do such a thing? and LOOK WHAT IT SAID...
this looks already completely destroyed because of that.
lucid spade
this looks already completely destroyed because of that.
because of error calling startservicebyname for org.freedesktop.packagekit
i google it and i was told to reinstall it
i think i should reinstall linux
opaque hemlock
and make sure fast startup in Windows is off
lucid spade
and make __sure__ fast startup in Windows is **off**
nah im not gonna enable it again
anyway before i reinstall mint
is 5400 RPM HDD bad for OS
on start up everything lag ass heck bruh
opaque hemlock
it's slow for hdd
lucid spade
it's slow for hdd
so it is bad idea?
opaque hemlock
can you use a stopwatch, and time it from the moment you press enter at GRUB menu, on 'start linux mint' until the moment you reach the desktop?
lucid spade
can you use a stopwatch, and time it from the moment you press enter at GRUB men...
i havent reinstall mint yet
opaque hemlock
i havent reinstall mint yet
I'm not telling you to reinstall mint
i said use a stopwatch
lucid spade
oh i thought you was saying a software
opaque hemlock
how long does it take to boot from grub to desktop....
lucid spade
btw my hardware
Processor i5-13420H
opaque hemlock
a 13th gen and a hard drive from 1995?
lucid spade
second hand hdd btw
lucid spade
i thought it would be good enough for mint
lucid spade
how is the HDD connected to the pc?
with USB C because enclosure USB 3.0 i try to bought is out of stock
opaque hemlock
usb c going into what, exactly?
lucid spade
usb c going into what, exactly?
my laptop USB 3.2 to enclosure USB C
opaque hemlock
oh
lucid spade
with cable they sent me
opaque hemlock
that's gonna be pretty slow in general.
opaque hemlock
is it a SATA hdd?
lucid spade
wait let me check
idk much about HDD
opaque hemlock
or the very old IDE ribbon cable style
opaque hemlock
well. the better thing is put a SATA ssd into the enclosure
or install Mint to the internal drive
lucid spade
can i split my drive for mint?
opaque hemlock
yes
lucid spade
oh cool
opaque hemlock
use disk management in Windows to resize the C: partition
if you have plenty of room to separate out
lucid spade
it would took quite a lot of time to bring my "use for later" stuff to hdd so i could resize it
opaque hemlock
huh?
lucid spade
i would fuck around later
it is late rn
opaque hemlock
oh u mean to backup?
lucid spade
oh u mean to backup?
ye i mean it
opaque hemlock
yes boot Mint from your current setup, then copy to it whatever
windows cannot read the mint drive
opaque hemlock
well u have to resize c: like I said
lucid spade
ye but i have to bring my stuff to hdd so i could have more storage
opaque hemlock
yes boot Mint from your current setup, then copy to it whatever
follow this
lucid spade
yes sir
opaque hemlock
then turn off the pc. unplug the external hdd. and boot windows to resize
after cleaning off lots of stuff
lucid spade
alright have a good day sir
opaque hemlock
ok bye
opaque hemlock
any progress with this, @lucid spade ?
lucid spade
having doing anything yet
opaque hemlock
k
opaque hemlock
uhhh why my available for shrink is only ~5gb?
this is Windows stuupidity.
open admin command prompt, do chkdsk /f first
to make sure no errors, and it will fix any if found.
that's the very first thing to do for c:
opaque hemlock
can i split my drive for mint?
so you don't want Linux to boot/run from an external drive anymore now?
opaque hemlock
a 13th gen and a hard drive from 1995?
I guess because of this.
follow link. get exact free one shown
lucid spade
so you don't want Linux to boot/run from an external drive anymore now?
yes
slow ahh
opaque hemlock
indeed can be noticably slower
opaque hemlock
i ran that cmd line
you mean chkdsk /f on the c: drive?
I presume it ran upon reboot and scanned for errors.
Windows these days does some funny garbage where it puts immovable data all over the drive; thus its own silly Disk Management tool refuses to shrink space that's blocked by those data regions.
Use the link I sent above to fix all that.
