Attempting to install Ubuntu Studio on two HDD
by wingwin from LinuxQuestions.org on (#5FRPY)
Hello
I am still a bit of a novice in-spite of having had desktop Linux distros in the past, am now returning after five years.
I have Ubuntu Studio 16.04 on my 461.9 HDD internal HDD with 3.9Gb extended & 3.9Gb swap.. I now want to install Ubuntu Studio 20.10 using this only for much smaller boot & swap and have the /home on my 3TiB external HDD.
Booting the live disc then using GParted I successfully shrank to 1.4TiB the external drive in preparation to have as /home.
Following this guide:
https://www.linuxjournal.com/content...wo-hard-drives.
I came to a halt after attempting to delete a partition on the internal drive. I have tried this a three times on the large and once on the small existing sections, each time resulting with only the delete button showing it has been selected and everything static for hours.
Is there anything else that can be done to move forward?
Thanks in advance
