![]() I’ll surely give Debian a try, I think I’ll like it because it features “outdated methods” (using the keyboard and the console) along with “modern methods” (GUI solutions). For example, PC-BSD needs a manual setup to make them working, while USB mice are no problem. Allthoug serial mice are considered obsolete, they’re still in use. “The GUI installer recognizes RS232 (serial), PS2 and USB mice without problems.” Just to mention an example, the term “Weltnetz” (world net) refers to the Internet and the WWW as well, because the inventor(s) of the term surely didn’t know the difference. There are some ill translations of IT termini technici floating around, but they’re not common, so nobody really uses them. Most of these terms (with their origin in the english language) are part of the common education, so there’s no problem to know what “E-Mail”, “Browser” or “Interface” refers to. The evasion of IT termini technici is not ment. It would be nice to have de_DE and de_NS separated. Standard german refers to the common regulated and confimed orthography, grammar, and punctuation, which is no longer part of the basic education here in Germany. So let me elaborate on this a bit: “Newspeak” (Neusprech) refers to a dyslexia-like use of the german language, such as the usage of capital letters, connected and disconnected words, proper cases, hyphenation and the use of ligatures. Which to use depends on what you're trying to achieve.“I do not understand the difference between standard and newspeak, but if you expect an installer devoid of IT terminology, you are going to be disappointed.” So that's three USB installation options in all. fabien85 did a tutorial on how to create a sort of swiss army knife USB drive. Second, I didn't mention originally because it's advanced and complicated, but maybe you're up to it. In fact, I keep mine on a separate USB drive (backed up to a similarly encrypted USB drive) which I can move freely among all my systems. With the latter, you don't try to keep everything in the encrypted container, just the files which are actually sensitive. Or you can use file container encryption, e.g., Veracrypt, which is what I use for all my systems. You can encrypt the home folder, but that entails a significant performance hit. ![]() First, be aware the installer doesn't support system encryption for USB installs. Please go back to the first post in the thread, hit edit (the little pencil icon) and add "Solved" to the thread title.Īs regards the USB project, I'll mention two additional thoughts. If not using, adjust partition scheme accordingly. I wouldn't bother with a swap partition on a flash drive unless is was at least 64 GB, but that's your choice. ![]() Mainly useful if you want to be able to hibernate. LM19 does not (by default, uses a swap file instead), though swap partition is still supported optionally. Note: When fabien85 and I wrote our posts, the prevailing version was Mint 18.x, which requires a swap partition. I've done Option 1 in LM19, so that still works, and can't think of any reason Option 2 wouldn't. I'd like to emphasize there's no point doing full install to a 2.0 flash drive (you probably have a 3.0, but I want to make sure). Since then, I've written up Option 2 myself here. See here for links, plus a discussion of pros and cons of each. I know two methods which get around the bug. If I can't spot the solution, hopefully someone else can.Īs for the USB drive, you're going to have to do that over. I've never had to do it, but senior user Pjotr has a detailed guide on his Linux tips website. And I do agree full install is preferable to persistence in most cases.Īnyhoo, I'm pretty sure all you need to do to fix the laptop is reinstall Grub. ![]() BTW, in gold_finger's defense, UEFI was still relatively new four years ago, the installer bug had only just been discovered and wasn't widely known.
