Step 1: format the disk

If you have a new hard disk drive, you need to plug it into the computer. And then, we can open the settings menu with a tool "Disks".

If we need to copy some big files to another path, we always afraid our copy process dead. It's very terrible if we forgot to use "screen" or "nohup" instructions (screen is an instruction that can execute a program in the background. Maybe you can refer here: [Linux] Using instruction “screen” to put process in background)

When we working in Linux OS, maybe we need put some works in the system background. It means even if you closed your terminal, your works are still performed in the background.

Today after I restart my computer, a mysterious error occur: "Error: invalid environment block. Press any key to continue…". The most tragic is, after I press any key, the system is no-response, it was die.

Today when I turned on the computer, I got an error message: the root filesystem on /dev/sda1 requires a manual fsck again. This is not the first time I got it, so I think I need to record it and maybe it can help me to learn more and more.

A few years ago, many people installed the operating system was used a disc to make a bootable disc. But with the evolution of laptop products, more and more machines have no optical disc drive.

Ubuntu is a famous version in Linux family. Today I want to introduce how to install Ubuntu (18.04, or other version can use the similar steps).

So far, I didn't put data too much on my Linux notebook, so I backup my file was very easy. About my program, my code, I always push to Github or private GitLab. I have also written some novels, but I always upload them to Google Drive. So "backup my files" is always a easy thing to me.
