Hi everyone, In this post, we will be cloning a 500GB Hard Disk Drive to a 500GB Samsung 870 EVO SSD. For this, we will be using the Linux dd utility, and will confirm some important details using KDE Partition Manager. Before we begin, we must use a SATA to USB enclosure or adapter. I will be using an UGREEN USB 3.0 to SATA enclosure. Let’s begin the preparation: Preparing the Hard Disk Drive and SSD for cloning These are…
Hi everyone, Today, I will be showing you how to remove the Hard Disk Drive on the HP 2000-2c20NR laptop.

Reasons of why you may want to remove the hard disk drive would be to upgrade or replace it with another, higher capacity…
Hi everyone, I should have written this post some time ago, since Ubuntu 22.10 has been released for a while now, and there is now an official WineHQ 22.10 Kinetic repository. Therefore, in this post, I will show the steps to update the WineHQ repository file from Ubuntu Jammy to Ubuntu Kinetic. The process of updating the apt repository for WineHQ is very simple. We will rename the repository file from jammy to kinetic, use nano as our text editor…
Hi everyone, Today, we will be installing Wine from the WineHQ repository in Ubuntu 23.04. Wine is a compatibility layer that allow us to run Windows software on Linux. It is not an emulator nor a virtualization software. It simply translates the binary to Linux-compatible POSIX API call to allow the execution of them. In Windows, Microsoft added the Windows Subsystem for Linux (WSL). There are currently 2 versions: WSL1 and WSL2. WSL1 can be considered the opposite of Wine,…
Today, I wanted to update my Ubuntu WSL setup by running sudo apt upgrade. Unfortunately, it failed with the following problem: To fix this problem, I went ahead and removed these files: After running sudo apt upgrade again, this time it succeeded: I’m running my Ubuntu WSL instance in WSL1 mode. Hope this post helps you fix your apt upgrade problem if you have encountered this same issue. Post Views: 390
Hi everyone, Yesterday, the Linux Kernel 6.0.0-rc5 was released. This kernel is mostly a bug fix release. Unfortunately, this release failed to build for the amd64 architecture on the Ubuntu Kernel Team site, but the good news is that today’s daily build succeeded, and we can download and install it in our Ubuntu system. Because the kernel failed to build for the official 6.0.0-rc5 release, we cannot install it via the Ubuntu Mainline Kernel Instaler tool. Instead, we must download…
Hi everyone, While the latest Linux Kernel is currently at the 6.0-rc4 version, now we can install the Linux Kernel 6.0-rc3 in our Ubuntu Linux systems. The 6.0-rc4 version failed to compile, and is the reason why it’s not listed in the Ubuntu Mainline Kernel Installer tool, but at least we can now install the packages of the 6.0-rc3 version with it. To install it, you must first enable the installation of unstable kernels in the tool. For this, click…
Hi everyone, In this post, we’ll see how to install the pulseaudio-dlna package and use it. DLNA is a protocol that may allow special devices and software to connect to a media server, playback a file, act as a media controller, or be one or more of these. Some routers have a DLNA feature built-in allowing the use of the USB port to host a USB drive in order to allow these software to find and playback your multimedia files….
Hi everyone, In this post, I will show you how to install the daily builds of the Linux Kernel from the Ubuntu Kernel Team Server site. Last week, we got the very first Linux Kernel 6.0 release. It is the first Release Candidate, but this kernel failed to build for the amd64 architecture. This means that we can’t install it using the Ubuntu Mainline Kernel Installer tool. Luckily, the Ubuntu Kernel Team does daily builds, and it seems there are…
Hi everyone, The Linux Kernel 5.19.2 was released on Wednesday, August 17, 2022. This kernel is a maintenance release that mainly brings some improvements and bug fixes. As usual, we should be able to install this kernel in Ubuntu with the Ubuntu Mainline Kernel Installer tool, but when you open the app, you’ll notice that all of the Linux Kernels disappeared from the list, looking like this: This has to do with the fact that the very first release candidate…
