OS installation
|
Windows 10 quickstart
|
Install Group Policy Editor from an admin Powershell console:
@echo off
pushd "%~dp0"
dir /b %SystemRoot%\servicing\Packages\Microsoft-Windows-GroupPolicy-ClientExtensions-Package~3*.mum >List.txt
dir /b %SystemRoot%\servicing\Packages\Microsoft-Windows-GroupPolicy-ClientTools-Package~3*.mum >>List.txt
for /f %%i in ('findstr /i . List.txt 2^>nul') do dism /online /norestart /add-package:"%SystemRoot%\servicing\Packages\%%i"
pause
Run Group Policy Editor to disable restarts:
Computer Configuration > Administrative Templates > Windows Components > Windows Update > Configure Automatic Updates
(o) Enabled
[2] Notify for download and auto install? Or [3] Auto download and notify for install? Going with [3], we'll see.
(or...) (o) Enabled: No auto-restart with logged on users for scheduled automatic updates installations
---
No auto-restart with logged on users for scheduled automatic updates installation (just in case)
(o) Enabled
---
(reboot if you had to change it? or will that wipe it out? tbd...)
In a corporate environment, you should quit your job - I mean, you will likely have to redo this after ANY f'in reboot.
|
Memtest boot disk
|
It should be on red-on-black flash drive. Or, get a fresh download of USB zip, it includes a Windows exe to create the boot. Or use the ISO.
|
Create and boot from Ubuntu USB
|
There should always be a boot USB for this in my set, but it needs recreation on new Ubuntu versions...
- Download the latest 64-bit Ubuntu desktop iso
- Format a USB drive as FAT (NOT exFAT or NTFS)
- Burn the iso to the USB, providing a GB of space (we want to add the nvidia driver once booted)
sudo usb-creator-gtk
- Boot with it
- On startup, select the USB EFI boot option in refind, select "Try Ubuntu", (on MBPro, hit e and add [ nouveau.noaccel=1] to grub line), hit F10 to start
- Once it is running, start System Settings, select Software, enable proprietary drivers
- Install, checking the [download as you go] and [install 3rd party stuff] boxes.

Ubuntu set up networking
|
Install NetworkManager, as the wpagui UI sucks
- sudo apt-get install network-manager-gnome
- YOU MUST remove interfaces from /etc/network/interfaces so wpa gives them up to nm-applet
- add nm-applet to startup if needed - i don't think it is needed as it seems to start up automatically now - try rebooting first
