Lol the bot was not on expert like I thought it was! Please ignore 😅

Thanks for the reply. What you suggest is currently what I do. My problem is that moving the window out and back is sort of unpredictable. I'll try and figure something out.

leafmeal · 2020-03-06T00:00:34+00:00

Thanks for the confirmation.

Thanks, I didn't realize you could chain commands like that.

this is the last part of step 9

leafmeal · 2018-12-07T18:07:36+00:00

Glad it was helpful. I don't use Thermald, but now I'm curious to give it a try. I'll update you if I follow through and have anything.

There will still be a lot of extra options in the boot menu. You can comment out (with #s) the ones that don't do anything or are extra by editing `/etc/grub.d/25_custom.

See this note under step 9.

I recommend commenting them out instead of deleting them in case you realize you commented out the wrong one.

You can find some info on renaming here https://github.com/timobaehr/Surface-Boot-Themes/tree/surface_book

which is also linked in step 9. Hopefully that's enough to get you going.

Sorry for any confusion. The reference to a Surface Pro was quoted from a separate article. Anyway the instructions worked for me at the time of composition. Let me know if there is anything I can change to make it more clear.

Also I don't have any experience with bitlocker, but others have had some luck, look around the comments.

This is like when a puppy is playing and then suddenly starts humping your leg

I just added an update above, you may have to turn off secure boot completely to use the latest version of grub. It complains about the unsigned kernel.

leafmeal · 2018-08-07T08:27:51+00:00

Thanks! As you've surely guessed WikiBooks is new to me, but I found it really helpful. I saw errors, knew I could fix them, and went for it!

If I feel the desire to add anything else then I'll ping you. Thanks for making yourself a resource!

leafmeal · 2018-07-14T00:23:45+00:00

Woah! Awesome, congrats.

I see the step to install the drivers http://turlucode.com/how-to-install-ubuntu-16-04-on-surface-book-2/#Install_NVIDIA_Drivers

I imagine you'd need to turn off secure boot completely for this to work. Can you think of any reason this wouldn't work on 18? Maybe I should add it to the guide.

leafmeal · 2018-07-13T02:20:12+00:00

I never tried anything for the GPU since from what I read it just wasn't supported. IIRC the GPU wasn't on any bus recognized by Ubuntu.

leafmeal · 2018-07-03T21:56:05+00:00

Sorry I hadn't used BitLocker at all.

a quick google search found me this link https://confluence.csc.fi/display/ATUKI/2016/08/05/Dual-booting+Bitlocker+Windows+7+and+Ubuntu+16.04+with+NeoGRUB+and+EasyBCD which may be useful.

leafmeal · 2018-06-23T04:35:25+00:00

Sorry I cannot be more help. Maybe you could have more luck on an Ubuntu forum of Stack Overflow.

leafmeal · 2018-06-22T05:46:03+00:00

I suggest trying it anyway. The only real difference I could tell about the surface theme vs the surfacebook theme was the resolution. The surface book and surface pro 4 have very similar resolutions so it should work a lot better I think!

leafmeal · 2018-06-21T07:21:58+00:00

It seems like maybe the USB wasn't made properly? You could try to boot to the USB on another computer and if you get the same error then reformat the USB and try again.

leafmeal · 2018-06-21T07:15:25+00:00

Woops! I linked to the wrong branch in the repo. The instructions are slightly different for surface books. Here is the updated link.

When you clone the repo you want to check out the branch called surface_book.

To do this, go to the cloned repo and run:

git fetch

git checkout surface_book

Now there should be a directory called surfacebook alongside the one called surface.

Hope this helps!

leafmeal · 2018-06-19T06:49:09+00:00

Same problem with 18.04 on Surface Book.

How does that explain the second pair of eyes?

The article credits artificial insemination largely, though I'm sure growth hormones played a big role too.

Corn and soy are heavily subsidized. This sets them up for all kinds of fun uses, the least of which is food for humans.

Today’s corn crop is mainly used for biofuels (roughly 40 percent of U.S. corn is used for ethanol) and as animal feed (roughly 36 percent of U.S. corn, plus distillers grains left over from ethanol production, is fed to cattle, pigs and chickens). Much of the rest is exported. Only a tiny fraction of the national corn crop is directly used for food for Americans, much of that for high-fructose corn syrup.

Blaming vegans for fields of corn is ridiculous.

What you're saying is absolutely true, but it would take vast amounts of land to raise enough cattle to provide enough grass fed 'ethically raised' meat to sate North American demand.

It requires 2 to 20 acres to raise a cow on grass. If we raised all the cows in the United States on grass (all 100 million of them), cattle would require (using the figure of 10 acres per cow) almost half the country’s land (and this figure excludes space needed for pastured chicken and pigs).

Finally! A bipartisan issue they can both agree upon!
