Re: Goodbye Windows Hello Ubuntu
I find that on my stuff (my laptops at least) Arch runs pretty well, on par with Win 7. That said, arch is not for noobs and never will be, hence why it runs so well (less overhead by way of crap one doesn't need, such as SElinux). I tend to dual boot though, as there are a few programs I use that don't work in linux and in case arch has a burp, I have some sort of a backup (also good for people like my wife who don't know gnome 3.x).

Yep, not a new problem at all. I think erasing track zero will do the trick as well. A zero-fill DEFINITELY willLeave a comment:

Windows doesn't like boot sectors and MBRs written by other OSes. Hell, it doesn't even recognize its own if you run fixboot or fixmbr from recovery console.Leave a comment:

Re: Goodbye Windows Hello Ubuntu
any time something does that,
open a terminal window and run it from the command line.
then you can see the error message(s) and fix it.
it probably wants a library you dont have installed.
** this trick also works with windows.Leave a comment:

Re: Goodbye Windows Hello Ubuntu
It breaks the EULA of the original XP and probably the EULA of the patch.
http://www.zdnet.com/article/hacked-...ll-a-bad-idea/ suggests it doesn't work fully.
Any Admin worth his salt would have moved on the moment his tight company asked him to patch XP this dodgy way.
Management doesn't care how it gets done, only that it gets done. If I'm a systems admin and management comes to me and asks me what to do, I'd offer up both options and list the costs of each, and then fully expect them to choose the former.
I'd then be saving myself the hundreds of hours of unecessary headache, and then I'd ask for a large raise at the end of the year, and I'd get it, because I saved the company so much money. Everyone is happy this way, and this is the way a smart sysadmin should think.Leave a comment:

Vista/7/8/10 have more security features such as ASLR and is more secure than XP by default.

Re: Goodbye Windows Hello Ubuntu
Legality doesn't change depending if it is checked or not, it breaks their EULA and as they are charging a good deal extra to support them i'd have thought they were quite keen to clamp down. I know the UK Met and parts of the NHS have coughed up a few million £ to keep their patches coming.
I don't think POSready is a full version of XP so even fully patched, parts of XP that are not used by POSready will fail to be updated.Leave a comment:

by tsavpynDear all,
I forgot my BIOS password of my Surface Pro 3, I searched for solutions for a long time and knew that by using FPT to dump my bios to bin file and using decryptor, I can get my BIOS password.
Now I have a problem that I am unable to dump my BIOS into bin file.
My Surface Pro 3 currently runs on Ubuntu 22.04, with Secure Boot enabled and Boot From SSD Only.
I searched for FPT but there is no Linux version and none of them work.
I hereby request a copy of Intel Flash Programming Tool for Linux x64.
I would really appreciate it if anyone...-

by abajorI've gotten into the habit of Looking at peoples Mechanical Hard drives with a Ubuntu thumb drive to boot their system.
I understand the raw values are not really uniform between manufacturers, but I have noticed that high seek and read error raw values at the very least correlate to a drive that is going to have sub par access time, and extremely slow OS booting.
The odd thing is I've often seen very high seek and read error rates on drives with fairly low on time.
Does anybody have any other takes on evaluating smart data? I've used Crystal Disk Info, It seems to present...-
