[ubuntu] Second OS install, still refuses Ubuntu base updates. Auto-partition incorrect?

dimanche 31 juillet 2016

The first install of Ubuntu was problematic and I found out I did not disable "secure boot" in the BIOS. I believe I have the BIOS properly set for Ubuntu this time, yet software updater still will not install Ubuntu base updates, which I assume are important updates.

System specs: Lenovo G50 laptop; AMD 6410 CPU, 8GB RAM, original HDD (with OEM Win10, never activated) replaced with Samsung 850 EVO & Ubuntu (no Windows at all), BIOS is a Legacy type (I have a UEFI desktop, so know the difference).

I chose "Erase disk and install", then ran "lsblk" to see what it created for partitioning, which showed this:
sda 232.9G
sda1 vfat 512m /boot/efi
sda2 ext4 225.4G /
sda3 swap 7G [swap]
sr0 1024m

I forgot to check what the first Ubuntu auto-install created, so cannot compare to see if anything changed. I know that swap partition seems rather much, but am not familiar enough with partitioning to know if there are any other mistakes.

The only thing I changed in the "Ubuntu Software Center" is switching the download server from my countrys' to the main, because I encountered problems with the first install & downloading updates from my county's server.

Other than that, I activated and configured the UFW, following the thread in these forums titled "Creating a firewall for your Ubuntu desktop".

Do I have to reinstall and manually configure the partitions? Or is that part fine, and something else needs to be done?

Let's block ads! (Why?)
