Ubuntu

There is a way to use Windows software in Ubuntu platform, which is by using Wine. Notepad++ is one of such softwares. Of course, we also can install with Ubuntu Software store which uses Snap. However, it didn’t work as well as in Windows. So I choose the other way. Let’s kick off by opening the Terminal first. By the way, I’m using Ubuntu 20.04 # Add Wine GPG Key wget -O - https://dl.winehq.org/wine-builds/winehq.key | sudo apt-key add - # Add apt repository sudo add-apt-repository 'deb https://dl.winehq.org/wine-builds/ubuntu/ focal main' # Install Wine on Linux sudo apt install --install-recommends winehq-stable # Set prefix export WINEARCH=win32 export WINEPREFIX=~/.wine32 Next, we need to download Notepad++ from https://notepad-plus-plus.org/downloads. Just choose Installer. ...

I will introduce this topic with a real example. The scenario is that I have two external NTFS hard drives. I want them to behave like the partition on Windows, like D drive, E drive something. However, every time when the Ubuntu is rebooted, those two hard drives are mounted to the path /media/<username>/<label name> and they are read-only. I wrote a temporary solution for the above issue, but it stil requires to execute the command every time when PC boots. This post will give a one-go solution. ...

Yesterday I installed Ubuntu on my PC, but I met an issue about the external drive is always the read-only. As the hard drive was the destination of my internal minio server, so I have make it writable too. Error: mkdir: cannot create directory ‘abc’: No such file or directory When I ran the df -T, it shows like /dev/sdb2 fuseblk 3907000316 278934580 3628065736 8% /media/username/InternalBackup I labelled the hard drive name as InternalBackup in the Windows OS before. ...
