Jan briefing candidate
From George Praggastis · Dec 25, 2021
I over heard Rex mention a briefing is needed for Jan...here's an idea: there are 4 Ppas promoted on the Clug website. Perhaps a detailed review of 3 would be of interest to newer members. I would exclude Unetbootin since it is pretty straight forward and because similar functionality is build into most releases. The brief by submitters (who probably know a lot about their Ppa) might focus on what and how do the remaining 3 Ppas help...just an idea from a curious newer member.
--
One obvious Q is: if ones OS is broken, how is "boot repair" software even accessable to help fix the situation?
Merry Xmas all.

Have a good day...George

One of the reasons that I have emphasized that it
is a very good idea to have a bootable flash drive with your
current operating system on it (at least a half dozen times) is
you can use it to boot to a live system and then install the boot
repair software on your hard drive. From there you can repair
your system without having to reinstall the entire system thereby
saving you the time and effort required to do so. Excellent idea
George we will discuss the PPAs at our January CLUG meeting on the
22nd.

Rex advice is very wise.
In the time of the BIOS you could back up the MBR (466 bytes) or the
MBR + partition (512 bytes) table and often the problem was resolved
but.. those times are over and now most of the systems come with UEFI
the back is complex. Of course on the top you may have corruption of
grub2, SO.. having a boot flash drive with your OS makes life far saver
and simple. Under OpenSUSE I can do it in two way, most likely is the
same in Ubuntu;
1. I can have a live OpenSUSE where the whole sytem is available
2. I can use the bootable OpenSUSE installation and from there I can
repair the problem.
In general #1 is the simple and the least likely you can scr.......
The most common situation is when you have a good running linux and you
decided to install win10, win manager will take over you will not have
access to linux. Yes you can conf the win manager but.... In this case
I load the OpenSuSE live, go to grub2, and it will find win10 and next
time you do the IPL you will have grub menu wiht linux and windows. So do not delay, consider this advice as urgent. Have all a Happy New Year! -=terry=- --------------------------------------------------------------------
