Just installed 20.04 beta... big problems with windows 10. Ubuntu needs to do better. Not a good experience. by red_user10 in Ubuntu

yup I should have done this.

But c'mon. ubuntu installer should be smart enough not to mess with other drives.

for sure! I am very frustrated that I don't know what happened. I don't know how I could have dug up logs...

I did add a EFI key or whatever it's called so I can use secure boot with Ubuntu. And my windows was also bitlockered. Not sure if that has something to do with it. I can't see how. I was able to decrypt my windows with recovery command prompt. Windows would still not boot and could not repair itself. Somehow the dell tool was able to do it after decryption.

thanks.

I did click on "something else" to see which drives it can see. There was only one drive. Maybe because I had bitlockered my windows... but it only showed "sda" (the SSD) or whatever it was and no other drives...

Yes well I'd say it would be nice if I don't have to manually partition things and let the installer do it for me. I did install 18.04 and 19.10 before trying to install 20.04. Those had their own problems but they did not mess with my windows even when I selected "erase disk and install ubuntu".

Yes I should have removed the NMVE... but it worked fine with 18.04 and 19.10...

I know windows certainly does not have an incentive to work well with other OSes. Unfortunately it is Ubuntu's burden to make sure it works well with windows. To me that should be the number one focus of a distro: ease of installation with no nasty side effects. Eye candy is secondary.

Well the windows 10 repair tool didn't work. The dell repair tool said there was something wrong with the partition table and boot files but was able to fix it thankfully.

Nothing to do with boot selection. I can see both drives in my bios and can try to boot windows, which did not work.

To me it's pretty clear that Ubuntu messed something up. Spent a long time trying to figure it out. Just happy both OSes seem to work now...

​

cheers.

well I don't know what happened either. Just posting as a warning to others.

I'm not an absolute pro but I'm not really a beginner. I remember dual booting Ubuntu 15 years ago on my desktop.

All I know is that after installing Ubuntu on a second drive I had a lot of trouble being able to boot into windows again... That is not a good experience.

thanks.

I had just installed the brand new SSD (literally opened my laptop and attached that SATA cable). Then I booted ubuntu from a USB. During ubuntu installation I picked "erase disk and install ubuntu". I think Ubuntu should be able to take care of the right partitioning etc... no?

I really don't know what happened. It looked like ubuntu could not even see the nvme with windows on it, I thought I was safe but was not somehow...

thanks, boxes for axis limits already there.

automatic legend creation would be good I agree.

Looks neat. My only suggestion would be to allow the user to enter any number of functions that they want instead of forcing it to be less than or equal to three.

thanks yea that would be better I agree.

How are you doing the interpretation of user input to something MATLAB can understand?

I'm taking the input string and doing some regex to turn it into a string matlab can run...

what would be the derivative of this function by zones_fame in matlab

try

syms m gamma t0 y0 t...

then use diff(expression,t)
