Ubuntu the Linux with Best GRUB Boot Loader

I have recovered from the Linux Panic Mode and I installed two copies of Ubuntu one each on the 1GB SATA Disks.

Ubuntu's GRUB is fabulous and nothing to compare with.

I was under the impression that I had IDE spare disk.

I was wrong (I did not care to open the PC and look).

In any case it was working well over 8 years and why bother?

It is now in better order with two Ubuntu copied installed (I will change one copy to 22.4, once it is downloaded, soon).

The motherboard had all SATA ports and none IDE.

I have a IDE to SATA port PCI slit into the PCI slot in the mother board but I have no IDE disks left.

I have discarded them and changed to SATA.

I have three spare SATA Disks.

1. 40GB not enough to install even Ubuntu.

2. 120GB just enough for Ubuntu.

3. 250GB with Ubuntu copy installed.

No slots in the mother board for IDE.

Luckily I had only one 80GB brand new hard disk and I loaded it to an external IDE case and booted DeepIn Chinese Linux.

I had 120 SSD with no master boot record which removed yesterday with only one distribution installed.

I put in an external vase but Intel NUC BIOS won't boot it.

It needs EFI code signal.

All the other distributions were in the 1GB  SATA including my regular Debian.

I have two terra bytes and I have lot of spare space and probably would be installing SparkyLinuxGameOver.

I am not going to try Batoserra and Steam.

One game player is enough for me.

Cost of Download by Dialog

For 2.4GB download of SparkyLinuxGameOver costs me Rs.800/= in half an hour.

In other words each Rupee gives me 3MB.

SparkyLinux is nearly 4GB.

It costs me roughly Rs.1200/= for one image and I am not going to write anything about Linux in Ceylon after I have downloaded Ubuntu 22.4 and SparkyLinux.

It is torrent download and if I tried direct download it would cost me more.

I was in Linux Panic Mode since my computer went completely dead.

It took few hours to figure out the CMOS battery was dead.

This battery is little over Rs.500/= and luckily, I had a spare battery.

My better half always ask me why I by two.
I say next time round it is either out of stock or twice the price.

It is thicker than the normal battery which I have several.

I was thinking of putting one live and one dead to get the currency thickness to fit into the mother board battery slot.

I checked today and those batteries are not available in my city.

So if your computer (PC) is dead think if sending it to the junk yard for lack of a CMOS battery.

That's how it is going in Ceylon.

Wish I kick the bucket.

Linux Panic Mode and Ubuntu Warning

Our relatively Old PC had a SSD master and a SATA secondary disk.
SSD do not have master boot record and only boots on distribution. I have my own ways of circumventing booting problems and I managed to have Debian and Emmabantus installed in the 120GB SSD.
I somehow got everything booting on the second drive.
Thankfully no master and slave with SATA disks.
To boot I have to press F2.
Yesterday I decided to remove the SSD and put a 250GB SATA disk and installed Ubuntu and everything went OK and at the final second Ubuntu warn that the system is going to crash.
Did not give details and the computer did shutdown.

I could not boot it again and start button went dead.
Except for cleaning dust and spider webs I practically did nothing.
I did not touch the RAM.
I had a nice graphic card I had removed from another computer I dismantled.
I fixed it and closed the chassis.
After few hours I tried switching on the computer.
It was dead for no obvious reasons.
I was in panic mode by this time.
Then having slept for a while I decided to prove the CMOS.
It was dead.

Luckily I had a spare CMOS battery and fixed it and the computer booted.

I have used computers for so long this is the first time I had a dead CMOS battery.

I am back installing and installed Ubuntu successfully.
