Wait till you cant get the graphics to work...
I took a macrium backup, had a play with it, messed it up to the point I had to reimage the disk, and now it wont boot past grub. Booting into repair shows a kernel panic.
Christ knows why a working OS backup cant be put back on the disk. That is really messed up.
Dont like Wayland particularly, everything is 'access denied', apart from that it seems much the same as the last time I tried Ubuntu.
Anyway, so reinstalling it.
(Actually I am pretty pissed off with it right now.)

If I remember right you have to clone the disk, backup doesn't work?

Probably, havent used Ubuntu outside of a VM for a long time.

The only time I ever used it out of VirtualBox was on an old computer I set up as a NAS server.

I had to add acpi=off to the install to get it to run. Other threads talked about nomodeset, or specific nvidia settings, did you have nay trouble?
The laptop I am using is prertty recent with a UEFI bios, this causes issues apparently. Also the installer wouldnt recognise the existing windows OS, so I had to do the 'something else' and set the ubuntu partitions up manually.
A bit of a faf really, and yet another reason Ubuntu will never make it onto the home platform. It is just too damn fiddly.

I've never had relatively few problems with Ubuntu.

Had to google UEFI so I'd say never had to deal with it. Using Windows 7!

I use win7 too, but the laptop is pretty new and came with win10 on it, piece of junk that it is.
Major annoyance, I cant change the resolution of the grub screen from the maximum so its impossible to read.

You will probably start to miss Windows real soon. My PC has ubuntu because I didn't feel like spending $100 on Windows. I regret that decision.
Unless you like to use the command line to get everything working.

I wouldn't use Linux/Unix for desktop, yet!
I work a lot with Raspberry Pi and like platforms so learning and using Linux.

Except that 17.10 came out in what, October? Which means that bundled version of FF is already 10 versions behind...

I'm on Windows 7 and I didn't update yesterday so I'm behind!

Since a payment made by bitcoin is difficult to trace, ransomware attacks become more frequent. The fact that the value of bitcoin has increased quickly in recent years certainly motivates attackers to do more. If people have no interest in bitcoin trade, do you think the attacks can be reduced?

hmmm, opinions and speculation on laws, soapbox perhaps?

No, this is Lounge alright. If it starts to lean toward how Bitcoin affects the weather, then it should be soap box.

Sorry. I revised the post to avoid "soap".

I read it as the OP meaning if bitcoin were not something you and I could actually pay the ransom with (because it has been outlawed) then these types of attacks would be reduced since normal people couldn't pay the ransom.

And that would prevent criminals from wanting money from you? I still don't get it.

which is basically money?
So would you say that because you are not allowed to hold euros the criminal is bothered by that and would instead of still wanting it from you just stop the attack?
