= the OS and /swap which should be 2Gb or the size of you RAM if you hibernate. For Kubuntu you are going to need a couple of partitions at minimum. You will see the free space in there and your NTFS Win partitions (stay away from them). When you get to the partitioning section, choose 'Something Else' and partition manually. Now you are ready to go.īoot from the installer and follow your nose. Leave the disk set to UEFI and switch off in BIOS fastboot, secureboot and boot Win8 and switch of faststart in the software (hibernation essentially).
#Gateway bios quickboot install
Once you have some free space (do not format it as NTFS, FAT or anything else) then you are ready to boot from the Kubuntu disk/USB and install it to the free space. Do this by booting into Win and using the Win software, DO NOT use Gparted as that could leave you with a non-functioning Win. I would back that stuff up or remove the drive if you can before proceeding.įirst thing to do is shrink the C: partition as you currently have nowhere to put Kubuntu.
I have tons and years of photos stored with dropbox web storage, anyone use it on a Linux box successfully? The UEFI and secureboot mode of this machine has been slightly worried, but if I'm switching to totally Kbunutu, should I just cut it off and enable Legacy mode in the BIOS? My drive is currently partitioned like this: want a total wipe with a kubuntu install (When I last left linux I was using KDE, and I have followed all the Unity / Gnome 3.0 controversies a little to think maybe I should just go with what I was familiar with. Recently purchased a Gateway ne56r41u from a big box store, on the cheap side for sure: Intel Pentium B960 / 2.2 GHz ( Dual-Core ), 4 gb ram and 500gb hard drive.
yeah, that long) - but the nightmare of Windows 8 has convinced me to make the switch back to open source, at least where I can. Not a total noob, but have been out of the Linux world for a bit mostly due to work (last distro was red hat.
