Install in existing dual boot

derxen · August 30, 2024, 3:36pm

Hello,
I’m considering trying out endeavour, because I heard a lot of good things about it and your community seems really helpful and friendly, and I’m getting a bit sick of ubuntu. My laptop currently has a dual boot windows/ubuntu. Can I just install endeavour into the partition where ubuntu now sits and leave the rest as it is?

Welcome to the community!

Do you mean that you would like to replace Ubuntu or triple boot?

Replacing Ubuntu is better. Triple booting should only be done by people who understand how Linux works and can fix issues as they arise, especially since Windows is involved.

Thanks! Yes exactly, replace Ubuntu and keep Windows. So can I just install endeavour in the partition where Ubuntu now sits and dual booting will work?

ddnn · August 30, 2024, 6:44pm

It “should”.

Make sure you back up first.

But also, could you post your list of drives and partitions so we can confirm where you are installing it?

cat /etc/fstab

Or send a screenshot showing a graphical disk viewer on Ubuntu, or the Windows Disk Management tool.

Lastly, you said you are getting sick of Ubuntu, but for newbies (if you are one), Arch Linux (meaning EndeavourOS) is usually not a good idea, despite having the best Linux community available.

So, if you know you are okay reading manuals, then install EndeavourOS!
But if you find reading manuals to be boring or annoying, I’d say install Linux Mint instead.

Yes, you can use the “Replace Partition” option and then click on the Ubuntu partition.

Thanks. These are the partitions:

/ was on /dev/nvme0n1p2 during installation

UUID=ceab9cac-32a4-443c-8e40-537fd2b49f28 / ext4 errors=remount-ro 0 1

/boot/efi was on /dev/nvme0n1p1 during installation

UUID=3B5E-EDDB /boot/efi vfat umask=0077 0 1
/swapfile

I have been using linux for 23 years now. Mandriva was my first distribution. I have used Ubuntu for years now, but I want more control over my system. Or to put it differently, I want to take more responsibility. I used to know my way around the file system better than I do now. Ubuntu has made me lazy. I realize I will have to do some reading, but I think it’s worth it.

And a screen shot of the partition table:

I tried, and got an error when the installer tried to create a bootloader. I have copied the last lines of the log. Anyone any idea why it cannot find the configuration file?

I’m guessing you created partition number as the boot partition for GRUB/rEFInd/Systemd-Boot? Is this correct?

Also, please select the text from the terminal in your previous reply and press “CTRL+E” on your keyboard or click the button indicated below:

Post it to a pastebin style site and share the link here.

I didn´t create a partition number as the boot partition. Not that I’m aware of at least.

derxen · August 31, 2024, 8:21pm

Here it is: https://pastebin.com/1Xvj58FD

It looks like there is something wrong with your EFI partition. Did you use replace or did you try to use manual partitioning?

derxen · August 31, 2024, 8:27pm

I used replace.

derxen · August 31, 2024, 8:30pm

Which of the two efi partitions has the problem do you think?

dalto · August 31, 2024, 8:32pm

The second larger one.

derxen · August 31, 2024, 8:35pm

Is that the one for the linux partition? What do I do, recreate another efi partition in the same spot?

derxen · August 31, 2024, 8:43pm

I could try check and repair via gparted perhaps?
